On the other side…
When Abigail arrived at the hospital, she learned that Jackie had already arranged for a private doctor who had
been waiting for her.
Jacob carried her discreetly through a passage to reach the consultation room.
Abigail’s ankle wasn’t seriously injured and only required a few days of rest and medication. However, her
immediate concern was her shooting schedule.
The nurse replied, “Ms. Fox, scenes that require you to stand cannot be filmed, but those where you can sit or lie
down and deliver lines are fine.”
The doctor frowned and advised, “With your foot injured like this, you shouldn’t even consider filming. You need to

“But I can’t keep the entire crew waiting for me!” Abigail worriedly took out her phone and called Jackie. To her
surprise, her usually attentive agent started to stutter, “Um… Abigail, the van’s maintenance isn’t completed yet…
Oh, no, it needs major repairs and will take at least a week!”
“What?” Abigail widened her eyes. “Then, can you come and pick me up and drop me off?”
“Baby, please understand! I have other work to attend to… Uh, you’ll have to figure out your own way to the set!”
“Hello?”
After saying that, Jackie abruptly ended the call, leaving Abigail fuming and tempted to throw her phone.
“What a jerk! How dare he speak to me like that now?! Can you believe…”
“Don’t worry,” Jacob said gently. “Why don’t I take you to the set during this period and then bring you back home?”
Abigail’s heart skipped a beat as she thought she might have misheard him. When she looked up, she met Jacob’s
sincere gaze and froze.
Only then did she realize she was sitting on the bed with one leg bent and her arm resting on it while her other leg
swung back and forth… like a female Tarzan. She had also shouted loudly…
It was over! Everything was over!
In a moment of despair, she had exposed her true self—and in front of Jacob!
She closed her eyes in agony, feeling hopeless and wishing she could dig a hole to bury herself.
“What’s wrong?” Jacob grew concerned. “Is your foot still hurting?”
“No…” Abigail weakly shook her head and pointed to her chest. “It hurts here, in my heart…”
“Huh?” Jacob was taken aback. “Did you hurt yourself here while filming?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAbigail looked at him, struggling to force a smile that resembled more of a wince.
Jacob couldn’t decipher the meaning behind her smile and remained on edge, fearing any further mishap.
“Maybe… let’s not stay here any longer. I’ll take you back!”
Before Abigail could respond, Jacob picked up the sunglasses and hat next to him and placed them on her. Then,
like a prince carrying a princess, he held her in his arms and swiftly walked out of the room.
From the emergency room to the parking lot, he was thrilled, completely unaware of the weary girl in his arms.
As they drove up from the basement, Jacob was entirely absorbed in planning how to transport Abigail to and from
the set in the coming week.
However, someone suddenly rushed in front of his car!
Jacob was startled and hit the brakes, extending his hand to shield Abigail from falling forward due to the sudden
stop. The first thing he asked after stopping the car was, “Are you alright?”
Abigail felt a warm sensation in her heart. How could she be in any danger? He had fastened her seatbelt in the
underground parking lot just moments ago, and he had shielded her with his hand now.
