<h4>Chapter 52: Chapter 51: Escaping a Cmity</h4>
"Stop! I’m just joking!"
At this moment, Elliana Lyle’s panic was like being chased by a dog, unable to climb the tree!
Seeing his hand moving around, Elliana had a quick idea and grabbed her stomach, "Norman Bet, I... I have a stomach pain, it really hurts a lot..."
She had stomach issues since childhood, Norman Bet knew about it!
Sure enough, the man stopped, scrutinizing the person in his arms for a moment before deciding to test if it was true.
"It hurts..." Elliana’s delicate face grimaced.
Only then did Norman Bet sit up quickly, holding the little girl in his arms,forting her while calling, "ire,e over here."
At this time, Elliana’s stomach really started to hurt! More and more like a cramp! Unlike a stomach pain, it felt like...
She subconsciously looked at the bedsheet!
Sure enough!
"Norman Bet... let me down, I need to take a shower..."
"Don’t make a fuss, darling, the doctor will be here soon." With that said, Norman Bet gently rubbed her stomach.
Elliana couldn’t afford to worry about much else, she counted in her mind three two one, and slipped out of the man’s arms like a loach, rushing straight to the bathroom.
Watching the little girl’s flustered back and the pajamas he was wearing, Norman Bet understood. He didn’t mind at all, ringing for Lana and then getting up to walk toward the bathroom.
"Norman Bet, what are you doing! Don’te in."
...
When the two came out of the bathroom, Lana had already tidied up everything in the room, putting up new bedsheets.
"Master, Young... Madam." Lana greeted them with a respectful smile.
The term "Young Madam" made Elliana blush a little; she suspected that Lana had misunderstood.
However, Norman Bet seemed very satisfied with Lana’s way of addressing Elliana, "Continue addressing her like that in the future."
"Yes." Lana replied.
Elliana had no choice but to seek help, somewhat awkwardly walking up to Lana, softly asking, "Lana, do you have any sanitary..."
"Yes, Young Madam, please wait a moment."
A few more minutester, ire White arrived, still looking as approachable as ever, without the slightest displeasure for being called over in the middle of the night by Norman Bet, his gentle smile making people feel warm.
After an examination, ire White slowly said, "Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious, drinking hot water will help, only take medicine if the pain bes unbearable."
Then ire White seriously told Norman Bet, "You should hold off for a few days, otherwise it might harm Miss Lyle."
"..." Elliana’s face turned red immediately, she wished she couldn’t understand what he implied!
"Hmm." Norman Bet’s response was natural, his demeanor exceptionally calm.
After sending off ire White, Norman Bet watched her drink a cup of warm water before carrying her back to the room to sleep.
That night was peaceful, Elliana could feel a pair ofrge hands cradling her abdomen the whole time, a warm sensation, easing much of the pain.
The next day.
When she woke up, Norman Bet was already up, leaving her alone in the room.
After dressing for a while, she walked out of the master bedroom, instinctively looking at the sofa, there was no man drinking coffee.
Lana told her that Norman Bet had already left, for some reason, she was instantly enraged, deciding she had to get up earlier than Norman Bet next time!
Meanwhile, at South City Rnd Brokerage Company.
In the deputy general manager’s office.
Two men sat facing each other, the atmosphere a bit tense.
A skinny middle-aged man anxiously sped his hands together, the white shirt draping over his frame made him look even thinner, his slightly bulging eyes staring at the lower left corner of the floor.
"Have you thought it through? Five million, enough for your family to spend a lifetime."
"Deputy... Deputy General Manager! But that’s a prison sentence!"
The frightened skinny man named Qian Gui was the finance director at Rnd, now facing Shane Southwell’s coercion and temptation!
Shane Southwell sat half leaning on a wheelchair, appearing a bitzy, yet with calm yet fierce eyes, shooting straight onto Qian Gui’s forehead.
"At most five years, a million a year, after you’re out, you won’tck for anything, your family will be happy instead." Shane Southwell’s voice was cold, nearly losing patience.
Qian Gui still shook his head, declining, "Deputy General Manager... my son is about to take the civil service exam, I can’t let my son have a blemish!"
"Ha!" Shane Southwell chuckled coldly,pletely out of patience, frankly saying, "Do you think I’m here to negotiate a deal? Your son is at Central Harmony University, right? I’ve already sent someone to find him."
Qian Gui immediately broke into a cold sweat, he only had that one son! Anxiously standing up, "Deputy General Manager, I agree, I agree, just don’t harm my son!"
"A man who knows the times is a wise man!" Shane Southwell smiled satisfied, then added, "I’ll transfer the money to your wife’s ount, rest assured."
The conversation was over, and Qian Gui left, feeling lost. Then, Cari came in.
"Deputy General Manager, I have helped Miss Lu applied for the survival show on the ind, but the president found out and said he disagrees."
"Old bastard!"
Cari took a deep breath, continuing, "Also, the president asked you toe over."
...
At noon.
Although the sun wasn’t too fierce in the autumn, it was still enough to give a headache.
On a break at the filming set, Elliana Lyle was holding a thick winter coat with one hand and a small fan with the other, acting in a winter scene on such a hot day was unbearable.
"Elliana, let me take that for you, have a bottle of water first." Timara Zephyr handed her a bottle of iced mineral water, taking the thick winter coat from her hands.
The bottle cap was pre-opened, yet Elliana didn’t seem inclined to drink it.
Seeing her unease, Timara Zephyr took the mineral water, tilted her head and poured a mouthful into her mouth, and then smilingly handed it back to Elliana, "It’s iced."
"Thank you." Elliana really couldn’t understand what Timara Zephyr was trying to do, did she want to reconcile?
"Elliana, the spicy duck head incident... was my doing."
Did she just admit it herself? Elliana was stunned, staring suspiciously at her, trying to figure out what else she had to say.
"Elliana, I’m sorry, I hope you can forgive the harm I caused you in the past."
After a long time, Elliana sighed helplessly, responding, "Hmm."
Timara Zephyr then smiled unusually happily, while Elliana still kept her guard up, but seeing Timara’s sincere smile, she thought: Well, if it’s possible to get along, then let’s get along.
Elliana didn’t be warm because Timara apologized, remaining as distant as possible, with no need to be too close.
Just consider it working as colleagues, without any friendship involved, Timara’s attentiveness won’t increase her goodwill, quite the contrary, it made her ufortable.
At 6 p.m., after wrapping up, Elliana sat in the car, scrolling through Weibo as usual.
