Chapter 36: Chapter 36
Speed
The next afternoon, after finishing a Zoom meeting with the project managers at the office, Samantha closed her laptop. "Huff," she sighed, then lay down on her bed. Suddenly, "bwuuuung," a hologram screen appeared in front of her face. She immediately read it.

"Oh... a quest at a cooking class?" Samantha asked.
[That's right, Sir.]
"But doesn't it start tomorrow, on Saturday?" Samantha asked.
[That's why you have to go today, because otherwise, it could be fatal.]
"This isn't going to be anything crazy, is it? Don't forget, I'm pregnant," Samantha said.
[Don't forget, I'm protecting your baby.]
"Grrrr... fine," Samantha replied.
Samantha got out of bed, walked to her closet to change, and then went downstairs. A short while later, Samantha was on her motorcycle. The place wasn't far from her neighborhood and Sarah's campus. When she arrived, "klak," Samantha took off her helmet and saw a large, spacious mansion in front of her.
"Wait, it's here?" Samantha asked, looking at the map on the hologram.
[That's right, Sir. This is where the cooking course you're taking is located.]
"Okay, let's go in," Samantha replied.
But before Samantha could even turn her motorcycle to go inside, "bwuuuung," the hologram screen opened again.

Samantha turned her motorcycle and pushed it. She ended up at a house that had a closed garage with a rolling door and an SUV parked in front of it. After parking and taking off her helmet, another screen appeared.

=============================================
Samantha parked her motorcycle and approached the rolling door. She smelled oil from inside the garage and immediately knew it was a car repair shop. She looked down and saw a key on the floor and a gap at the bottom of the rolling door. She bent down to pick up the key and peered inside. Samantha's eyes widened when she saw a man lying on the garage floor. Without a second thought, she stood up and, "sreeeg," she lifted the rolling door. Then she went inside and approached the middle-aged man lying face down on the floor, clutching his chest.
"Uncle... Uncle... Are you okay?" Samantha asked anxiously.
"Bwuuuung," a hologram screen appeared in front of Samantha's face again. She immediately read it.

=============================================
"Huh?" Samantha thought to herself.
[Quick, Sir, there's no more time to call an ambulance.]
"O... okay," Samantha replied.
With all her strength, Samantha helped the man stand up and then supported him to her motorcycle. She immediately tied the man's body to her waist with a rope and drove off. "Vrooooooom," she sped away at high speed toward the hospital, which was about 5 miles away. All the way there, Samantha used her intuition to avoid fast-moving cars and to run through intersections.
"Teeeeeet," many car horns blared at her because she was passing them at a very dangerous speed. Samantha swerved, cutting through the route on the map, which had a lot of pedestrians. Of course, many people were angry with her, but she ignored them and kept using her intuition to avoid hitting anyone. The hospital was getting closer, but just as she was about to reach the main road, a freight truck suddenly backed up, blocking the street.
"Sreeeeeeeek," Samantha immediately slid her motorcycle under the truck, holding the man tightly, and then, "vrooooom," she continued her journey to the hospital. When there was only one minute left on the countdown, Samantha arrived at the emergency lobby. A security guard came over and helped Samantha get the man off the motorcycle. The nurses came out to help the security guard, and the man was safe and rescued.
Samantha was out of breath. Her adrenaline was still pumping, and her face was pale. She held her stomach and looked at the emergency room door.
"Huff... done," Samantha said.
[That's right, Sir. The man will be okay.]
"Is my baby okay?" Samantha asked.
[Safe, Sir.]
"Hey!"
Samantha turned to see Doctor Charles running toward her. It looked like the doctor had just returned from lunch because he wasn't wearing his doctor's coat. When he arrived, he looked at Samantha's arm.
"Is your arm healed, Mrs. Samantha?" Charles asked.
"Oh... (she just realized she wasn't holding her arm up and some of her wounds were open and bleeding) um, not yet, doc," Samantha replied.
"You're in the early stages of pregnancy, aren't you? Why are you being so reckless? You should be careful with your baby. Come inside, your arm needs to be treated," Charles said, inviting her in.
"O... okay, doc. Sorry. But aren't you an obstetrician?" Samantha replied.
"That's right, but I also heard what happened to you a few weeks ago and why you were hospitalized from my colleague, Doctor Harry. Come on in, I'll hand you over to Doctor Harry, who treated you yesterday," Charles replied.
"O... okay," Samantha said resignedly.
Samantha parked her motorcycle and walked inside with Charles. As she walked, she heard a voice in her head.

"Oh nice... the previous 9-day cool down is gone. Okay, use it," Samantha said happily.
[Wait, Sir.]
Too late. Samantha had already opened her dimensional storage, grabbed a bottle of elixir, and drank it. "Blugh," she immediately fell into a deep sleep. Charles turned his head and was shocked to see Samantha passed out, lying on the floor, he immediately approached Samantha worriedly.
"Mrs. Samantha, hey what's wrong? (He turned to a passing nurse who happened to be there.) Hey, get her to the emergency room, fast!" Charles shouted in a panic, helping Samantha, who had collapsed in the hospital hallway.
"Y-yes, doctor," the passing nurse replied in panic.
[That's why I told you to wait, Sir. You must have forgotten that drinking an elixir makes you so so sleepy... So troublesome.]
