Chapter 1074


    But Ronald Shaw wasn’t in the mood to appreciate it. He furrowed his eyebrows and reached out to


    touch her clothes. The cold made him shiver. You just gonna stand here?”


    Yulia kept her lips sealed, not saying a word.


    Sensing that she had no intention to talk, Ronald helplessly reached out and wiped the dew off her


    eyshes. Hisrge hand against her frozen skin felt oddly warm


    “Why are you so careless?”


    Ronald’s movements were far from gentle, hinting at his annoyance. But Yulia felt a wave of


    warmth.


    She looked up at the man who towered over her and softly said, “Thank you.”


    Ronald looked down at her, expressionless, “Stop saying that to me, Yulia.”


    Yulia gave a small smile; her guard against Ronald seemed to be slowly melting away.


    Ronald took her hand and led her towards the car.


    “Get in the car.”


    Yulia didn’t immediately reject him like before. Herpliance was surprisingly unexpected. He


    opened the passenger door, shielding her with the roof of the car as she got in.


    A familiar car was parked across the street.


    The car window was wide open, Nathan watched Yulia’s obedient behavior with a gloomy


    expression, his hand gripping the steering wheel tightened until his knuckles turned white.


    Ronald got into the car, and they drove off quickly.


    Nathan’s car remained stationary, his eyes staring through the open window, the spot where Yulia


    had just been standing. What shed in his mind was Yulia’s obedient and indifferent attitude


    towards Ronald, especially the joy and reliance in her eyes the moment she first saw Ronald.


    It seems that their rtionship wasn’t over yet.


    Chloe received a phone call on the road. Instead of going to the office, she asked Damon to take


    her to the hospital.


    Once they arrived at the hospital, Damon frowned, “What does her hospitalization have to do with


    you?”


    Chloe smiled, leaning in to give Damon a peck on the cheek as she unbuckled her seatbelt.


    “She’s an artist I’ve had my eye on for a while, and her role is needed even more in the current


    production. What if something happens?”


    “Goodbye, be careful on the road.”


    Damon kept his lips sealed. What else could he say since it was work–rted?


    Chloe bought a bouquet of flowers on her way into the hospital. She opened the door to the hospital


    room, and the woman on the bed slowly turned her head.


    Her face was as pale as paper, her bangs had been swept to the sides, revealing her smooth


    forehead, and her eyes were filled with sadness.


    When she saw the person standing at the door, the woman’s eyes trembled slightly, and a sh of


    disappointment quickly faded.


    “Why are you here?” Her voice raspy, weak.


    Chloe calmly walked into the hospital room.


    “I have ulterior motives with you, of course, I’de to make my presence known when something


    happens.”


    Crysti gave a small smile, a bitter smile surfaced on her face. “Ms. Summers, aren’t you supposed


    to say something nice at times like these?”


    She walked to the edge of the bed, holding a bouquet of baby’s breath, looking down at her. “Do


    you believe it?”


    Crysti chuckled, “No.”


    “Well, there you go.” Chloe said calmly, “It would be ridiculous if I pretended to be caring to the point


    where even I found it amusing.”


    Crysti didn’t say anything else.


    Chloe continued, “I’ve already asked the hospital about your condition. Your injuries aren’t serious.


    A fracture in your right leg, concussion, a few minor injuries all over your body, but nothing serious


    that will leave you disabled. You’ll be fine with proper rest, don’t worry.”


    “Seems like I’m really lucky”


    Chloe gave a small smile, looking around the empty room.


    “Where’s Philip? Hasn’t hee to see you?”


    Crysti’s eyshes fluttered slightly, and remained silent.


    Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    “Or does he not know about your situation?”


    Seeing that she didn’t want to discuss this, Chloe didn’t push further. She picked up the flower vase


    nearby and took the flowers into the restroom. “I’ll arrange the flowers for you.”


    After Chloe left, Crysti’s tears started to fall.


    Philip… She endured all these years to repay him for saving her life back then, was all this worth


    it?


    The door suddenly opened, Crysti turned her head to see the man she had just been thinking


    about slowly walk in. She hid the sadness in her eyes.


    Chloe was pouring water into the vase when she heard the sound of the door opening, she


    immediately stopped what she was doing. The restroom became quiet again.


    “I heard you had a car ident outside thepanyst night. How are you, nothing serious


    right?”


    Chloe squinted her eyes. That was Philip’s voice; there was a hint of concern in his tone.


    Crysti’s heart ached sharply.


    Heard… So he knew about her car identst night, but only came to see her this morning.


    A dull pain struck her chest. She suddenly felt lost, were all these years of perseverance for such a


    heartless man?


    “…I’m fine.”


    “That’s good.”


    Philip let out a soft sigh, “The movie is about to start shooting. Take care of yourself. Don’t miss the


    shooting when the timees.”


    Crysti’s hand hidden under the nket clenched; she couldn’t hide the sadness on her face. “…


    We’re still short on funds aren’t we? Why are we rushing to shoot now?”


    Philip’s expression changed slightly, he turned his face and said, “The funds have arrived, so we’re


    starting the shoot. You’re asking a silly question.”


    Crysti looked up at him, “Where did you get the money?”


    Philip kept his lips sealed, “You don’t need to worry about that, just be ready to shoot when the time


    comes…”


    “Philip, Philip…”


    A soft female voice could be heard, followed by a woman dressed in a fiery red long dress


    appearing at the door. She was beautiful, sexy and curvy.


    Crysti’s eyes widened, all her resolutions and beliefs crumbled.


    The woman took the initiative to walk over, affectionately took Philip’s arm, looked at the pale


    woman on the bed and said, “Darling, you’re so inconsiderate. You should have brought something


    when youe to see your assistant. Isn’t it bad toe empty–handed?”


    Assistant?


    At this moment, Crysti’s face was surprisingly calm. She had to. Right now, she absolutely could not


    show any emotion in front of this man..


    Philip reached out to touch the woman’s face, “You really think of everything, huh? Later, I’ll have


    one of my assistants bring over some gifts.”


    The woman pouted her red lips, “So, are you done yet? We gotta go grab some meds. It’s all ‘cause


    of you, didn’t know how to hold backst night. You need to think about the baby.”
