"Youâre awake." A familiar voice echoed beside her.
Heather had just started to turn her head, when Nian Shen appeared in front of her. He stood at the foot of the bed, looking at her: "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"I..." As soon as she spoke, her voice was heavy, so she abruptly stopped.
In that instant, she slowly recalled the scene before she fell unconscious.
The loud sound from that moment still reverberated vividly in her memory.
It turned out, she was deliberately "punished."
Some words really shouldnât be spoken... what an ominous tongue.
To think that Heather, with all her fame and reputation, ended up in a hospital because of thisâthankfully no one knows her full story, otherwise...
Looking at Nian Shen, she shook her head.
The doctor had likely been called by him, performing another check-up on her after she regained consciousness. Before leaving, the doctor gave her several reminders, urging her to get plenty of rest and explaining what foods she could and couldnât eat over the next few days.
Not long after, Yi Yang arrived, carrying a packed bag in his hand.
Heather looked somewhat surprised: "Actually... Mr. Nian, you donât have to do this. Itâs just an on-set accident, it has nothing to do with youâthereâs no need for all this..."
She still felt a little uncomfortable.
As an investor, Nian Shenâs only responsibility was to provide funding; everything else should have been handled by others. Naturally, even if something happened, it wouldnât fall on him. He wasnât obligated to bear any responsibility for it.
"Miss Hai, it wasnât an on-set accident," Yi Yang said from the side. "It was intentional. The extraâs name is Tang Ming."
Heather actually knew this in her heart; she just hadnât expected Nian Shen and the others to know it as well. She hadnât mentioned it earlier, simply because she didnât want to bring it upâit was personal business, something she planned to handle herself. But now that they already knew, she asked: "Miss Quâs fan?"
Yi Yang nodded: "Yes."
"Alright, Iâve never really been lenient toward Miss Qu," Heather admitted, though her gaze wasnât focused on Nian Shen but on the white comforter in front of her.
The hospital room was spacious, almost like a residential suite, reminiscent of those luxurious villas she used to live in as Xiao Man.
It had been a while since sheâd seen such a beautiful room, and for a moment, nostalgia washed over her.
"Why arenât you looking at me?"
"Oh... I was just thinking... Since youâve already figured out who was behind this retaliation, you probably also know what happened before they targeted me, donât you?"
As Qu Leqiâs boyfriend, wasnât Nian Shen here to settle scores with her?
For some reason... she just didnât feel ready to face it.
"Yes, we know," Nian Shen said calmly. "So what?"
Heather lifted her head. "So, shouldnât you..."
To be honest, she couldnât decipher the expression on Nian Shenâs face.
Yi Yang suddenly interjected from the side: "Mr. Nian, perhaps Miss Hai should eat dinner first. She hasnât had anything all day, just IV drips. She should really replenish some nutrientsâwith plain rice porridge and healthy foodâitâll get cold soon."
"Thatâs for me?" Heather looked at the items in his hands.
Yi Yang smiled: "Of course, itâs for you."
Was it meant for anyone else?
"Oh... thank you," Heather said, a bit flustered as she adjusted her sitting posture to sit up a little more.
After all... given her current state, going downstairs to buy food herself would seem rather pitiful to anyone watching.
