He said hastily, "Doctor, please check her out first. She's weak and just fainted from shock."

The doctor quickly performed a basic examination, saying, "She's fine. Find her a shady spot to rest. Please don't interfere with our work."
Although there were no major injuries, the accident still left several people hurt.
Medical resources were scarce and couldn't be wasted on Esther, who was feigning unconsciousness.
I felt dizzy from the impact and struggled to stand.
Fortunately, someone supported me from behind.
"You're badly injured. Lie down quickly!"
My clothes clung to my bloody wounds as I endured the pain and watched the doctor clean them.
Luckily, the wounds were superficial.
After bandaging, the doctor advised me to go home and rest.
After some thought, I chose to stay and help with follow-up matters.
This exhibition hall was our company's responsibility, and with my memories from my previous life, I could assist with the rescue and prevent further accidents.
It was busy from morning until late at night.

Half-asleep, a sharp phone ring jolted me awake.
I fumbled for the phone, feeling dizzy, as if my wound was inflamed and I had a fever.
"Come to the company for an emergency meeting."
Given the seriousness of the situation, the company needed a solution.
Despite feeling unwell, I reluctantly went to the office.
As we met, Hector slammed a stack of papers at my face.
He blamed me, "Lucia, do you realize your comments yesterday led Esther to a depressive episode? She nearly committed suicide last night. You almost caused a death."
"Esther jeopardized hundreds of lives. She must face the consequences for what she did." I stood firm, undeterred.
He said, "Fine, I'll call the general manager to talk to you."
The colleagues standing by all looked like they were enjoying the show.
But I felt a sense of relief.
I had known Aaron for over a decade and was close to him.
I gave up the study abroad opportunity to him, which contributed to his success today.
I believed he loved the construction industry, had a sense of justice, and would handle the situation fairly.
However, my hopes were soon dashed.

Aaron put two contracts in front of me.
