Holea's booming business.

During the lunch break, Alix passed by the hospital to visit the second elder. This time round, she was welcomed like a heroine by his family. She brought some flowers for him, one being a potted orchid to help him sleep better. 

The second elder was awake and out of danger, his eyes were open and he could say a word or two. Recovery after the poisoning would take him two to three weeks at least. But overall, all was looking up. 

From the hospital, she went to Holea's cafe where she met up with her friends for lunch. She was the last of the four to arrive since she took a detour to the hospital. 

Everyone was already eating when she arrived. Swiftly, she slid into the empty chair between Holea and Zhang An.

"Hey guys." 

"You are late." Jin Kang said.

She looked at their plates from one to another and replied, "I passed by the hospital first." 

The male server who usually tended to them slid a plate onto the table in front of Alix.
