As expected, when Jimmy proposed leaving New York to study for a while at the Quantico Academy, Nia's expression changed. It took quite an effort to calm her down, but it was all his fault.

Having already obtained Hughes's consent, Jimmy was finally ready to make a trip back to the office. Before getting a reply, he could only ask Mahong for sick leave, and he would have to inform him later about the training. Now that he had the permission, he could handle it all at once to avoid the hassle of back-and-forth communication.

The next day, Nia arrived at Jimmy's apartment early, taking him to the Federal Square FBI office. She escorted Jimmy upstairs, then waited outside his office while he requested the leave.

Mahong, "What happened? How are you now?"

Jimmy lifted his arms slightly, "Just what you see, got into a fight with a tough one on a case. Mahong, I need to recuperate for over a month."

Mahong nodded, "Is it the case with Hughes? No problem, you can go back and rest, don't worry about here."

Jimmy nodded, "There's one more thing, Quantico would like me to return as an instructor for a while, and Hughes has agreed, so I might be at the Academy for some time once I'm healed."

Mahong slowly nodded, "Anything else?"

Jimmy shook his head, "That's all, so I might not be able to come back here for quite a long time."

Mahong, "OK. I understand, I'll communicate with Hughes. Goodbye, Jimmy."

Jimmy nodded, "Then I'll be leaving first, goodbye, Mahong."

Mahong, "Goodbye, take care of yourself."

Jimmy turned and pushed the door open with his left shoulder. Nia, who was waiting outside, came over upon seeing Jimmy come out. She said goodbye to Mahong and then descended the stairs with Jimmy. Nia had delayed her own time to clock in today to take him back and forth, and then she drove to the police station for work.

Jimmy was in a worse state; since both of his arms were barely mobile, he even found eating troublesome. He had contacted a domestic agency the day before, and they would arrange a full-time caretaker to come over today. Though it was only for two weeks, it'd be better to have someone to look after him. As for Nia, she still had the police department to attend to – although she could deliver food after work, Jimmy couldn't just eat one meal a day.

Two weeks later, upon his strong insistence, Jimmy returned to the hospital to confirm his healing progress with new X-rays. The injuries on his right arm had almost fully healed, which surprised the doctors; normally, a bone fracture would require at least four weeks in a cast. (Even with a cast on, you can still have an X-ray taken; it just affects the image quality a bit, but it's not a problem for experienced doctors. Tested personally years ago.)

Comparing the new X-ray with the previous one, the doctor noted significant healing. Looking at Jimmy, his expression changed rapidly, "May I ask about your living conditions these past two weeks?"

Jimmy frowned at the doctor, "What's wrong? Is it more serious? I don't feel pain, just a bit of itchy discomfort."

Doctor, "No, no, quite the opposite, in fact. Your recovery has been much faster than average."

Jimmy finally relaxed, "I haven't left home these two weeks, been staying in, got a nanny to take care of me, and she prepared all three meals."

Doctor, "Do you have a menu?"

Jimmy rolled his eyes, "No, I can't even remember what I've eaten; her cooking was just passable, certainly not delicious."

Doctor, "Could you have your nanny come over? I'd like to meet her."

Jimmy, "I need to ask her first. If she agrees, I'll bring her along. Doctor, can I remove the cast now?"

Doctor, "Not yet, there are still two fairly noticeable fractures in the left arm, and one in the right. Come back next week, and we'll see how the recovery is progressing."

Jimmy had no choice but to return home and extend the nanny's service for another two weeks. Even if the cast was removed, he wasn't supposed to engage in vigorous activities. Although what the nanny cooked wasn't bad, it was not particularly tasty either, but it was acceptable.

He also mentioned the doctor's request to the nanny; the next time they went, he would take her along. If the doctor confirmed her food had an effect, she might be able to leave behind her nanny career for a better opportunity.

Three weeks after the injury, Jimmy finally got the cast off his right arm, although his left arm would need another week's wait. The nanny continued to cook for him after answering the doctor's questions. The doctor didn't find any specific reasons for Jimmy's quick recovery in the nanny's menu, so he had to attribute it to individual differences in physical conditions, with Jimmy naturally having a slightly stronger recovery ability.

Nia had taken leave, and after spending a few days clinging to each other, allowed the nanny to rest. Meanwhile, Jimmy got a notification from Amy: James would be retiring in a month, and they invited Jimmy to secretly return to Little Rock for the retirement party, to surprise James.

A month after his injury, Jimmy finally got all the casts and splints removed, and he packed a suitcase, taking his two 1875s, and drove his Mercury to Quantico.

But before heading to Quantico, Jimmy had to make a trip to Philadelphia; his custom gun was ready, but due to his injury, hadn't had the time to pick it up. Plus, Kael had promised to help with the gun permit; now he could wrap both things up in one visit.

Arriving in Philadelphia at the Morgan residence, Kael welcomed Jimmy inside after receiving his call.
