Then Lina clearly heard a voice on the other end say, “Bed 35, Melissa Jones, it’s time for your medication!”
Jesse hastily hung up.
Lina held her phone, staring at the dark screen. An overwhelming urge to cry surged up, and tears streamed
uncontrollably down her face.

Abigail twisted her foot on the set but endured the pain until the last scene to avoid disrupting the filming progress.
When the director called “Cut,” her foot had already swollen to double its size, and she dared not take another step.
Feeling bad for Abigail, Jackie argued with the crew, claiming they hadn’t cared for his precious artist.

Jackie quickly went over to support her and helped her walk out of the set, step by difficult step.
Unfortunately, the car was scheduled for maintenance today.
Abigail was about to lose her temper. Jackie’s mind was usually sharper than a computer, so how could he forget
they had sent the car for maintenance today without arranging another one?
“Don’t worry, darling. I won’t let you wander the streets!”
Abigail glared at him. “If I end up on the streets, you better carry me back!”
“I can’t carry you!” Jackie smiled mysteriously. “But there’s someone who can!”
Abigail followed the direction of his finger and suddenly saw a black G-wagon. Jacob stood beside the car, waving at
her.
Jackie’s excited expression was as if he had just married off his daughter. He had just called her “darling” a moment
ago, but he seemed to care less about her injured foot now as he dragged her toward Jacob.
Abigail felt like her ankle was no longer under her control…
Just when she winced in pain, Jacob suddenly ducked his head and greeted her with a smile, saying, “Hi!”
Abigail forced a smile and awkwardly responded. “Hi!”
Both their heart rates effortlessly exceeded 120 beats per minute.
“How… How come you’re here?”
“You… You got injured?”
Both of them asked these two questions at the same time, their faces turning red simultaneously.

Jacob cleared his throat, trying to sound composed as he explained, “I happened to be passing by here.”
“Oh…”
“How’s your foot?”
“Huh?”
Seeing Abigail’s silly expression, Jacob felt anxious. Without further ado, he princess-carried her directly into the
car.
Abigail wanted to scream, but her throat didn’t cooperate.
As Jacob lifted her, she could only open her mouth wide and widen her eyes, giving herself a perfect dumbfounded
expression.
‘Jacob… actually carried me into the passenger seat? Isn’t the passenger seat reserved for the official girlfriend?
‘That bitch must have sat here…’
Just thinking about it, Abigail squirmed like she was on hot tin as she sulked.
