Hazel was extremely frightened. She hurriedly got up, only to find herself in a daze. After steadying
herself for a while, she staggered over to Elaine. She cupped Elaine's face with her hands and called
softly, "Elaine. Elaine, what's wrong? Answer me, Elaine..."
Poor Elaine. What happened to her this time? Her eyes were all red and swollen, with tears on her
eyelashes.
What kind of heartbreaking thing had she experienced?
"I'll call an ambulance now. It's alright, Elaine. I'll protect you."
Hazel panted heavily and began to look for her phone. Da*n it, if Hazel knew that Elaine was going to
be in trouble today, she wouldn't have drunk too much alone.
Hazel blamed herself completely... Since when had she learnt to drink to forget? What for? Lucas? He
was not worth it!
***
Finally, Hazel found her phone. She first found Mark's number in her contact. 'Yes, I should call Mark.
He's close, so it's best to ask him for help'.
"Hello, Mark. It's Hazel. Come and help me! Elaine has fainted-right, it's Elaine. She is in shock!"
Mark was chatting with Franklin in a teahouse about the things on his plate recently. Upon hearing
Hazel's words, he immediately threw away his teacup and jumped up.
"Franklin, hurry, let's go! Elaine fainted! Let's hurry to her dormitory!!"
Mark's car was at the entrance of the teahouse. He rushed into the car with Franklin and drove away.
When Mark arrived at Elaine's dormitory, an ambulance was already there at the door. Hazel was the
one who called it.
"Elaine! Elaine!!" Mark saw that several doctors were carrying a stretcher to the ambulance. He thought
that Elaine was on it, so he threw the key in his hand to Franklin and said, "Franklin, drive my car and
follow the ambulance! I'll stay with Elaine in the ambulance!"
"Alright!"
Franklin was about to turn around when he saw Hazel, who was crying. He immediately walked over to
her and said, "Why don't you get in the ambulance? Mark is in it."
Hazel gave a hiccup before holding Franklin's arm and trying to stand firm. She exhaled and stuttered,
"Darn it, they refused to let me in... I was just a little drunk. Why the big fuss? Aren't I Elaine's family? ...
You-who are you? Oh, I remember... Why do you have two heads? Hey, please, can you stop shaking
your heads back and forth? I'm feeling sick..."
Only then did Franklin realize that Hazel was very drunk. Franklin was a bit annoyed, "Elaine is in
shock while you are this drunk? You ..."
Hazel suddenly pouted as tears flowed down her cheeks. She held Franklin's arm and cried nonstop.
"... I want to kill myself. Truly I do ... Why do I still miss him? Why? Tell me, why is he still in my head?
Tell me why ..."
***
"How would I know? Don't grab my clothes. This is too much for me. I never talk to drunk people. It's
killing my brain. Alright. You can continue crying here. I'm going to the hospital with Mark. They need as
much help as possible."
Franklin was just about to get rid of Hazel's hand when he found that Hazel had fumbled her way to
Mark's car. With a click, Hazel opened the passenger door and tried to squeeze in with all her might.
Unfortunately, she was too drunk to do it.
Franklin was amused. He giggled, "You deserve it! Aren't you always so rude to us? Try that again?
Now you know how to spell 'embarrassed'."
With that, Franklin helped Hazel into the car.
In the hospital. Franklin and Mark were waiting outside the emergency room, extremely anxious.
Hazel lowered her head and dozed off on the bench.
The door to the emergency room was suddenly opened. Mark immediately rushed over to the doctor
and asked, "Doctor, how is Elaine?"
The doctor took off his mask and said, "She is fine now. She suffered from too much mental pressure,
so she fainted from cerebral ischemia. Be careful not to irritate her in the future. It will be bad if she
gets dizzy frequently."
"Thank you, doctor. Can we go in?"
"Yes. We have given her a tranquillizer to calm her down. She probably won't wake up in a few hours.
Remember not to irritate her again in the future. Try to make her happy. How come she could faint at
such a young age? She's too weak."
"OK, doctor, I will remember everything you said. Thank you."
Mark hurriedly walked into the ward, as if he was Elaine's husband.
Elaine was huddled on a white bed.
As soon as Mark entered, he could not help but slow down. He walked very gently and carefully to the
bed and looked down at Elaine with deep affection in his eyes.
He gently sat down on a stool. Then, he carefully held one of Elaine's hands in his palm.
Mark looked at Elaine, who was sleeping soundly. He said to himself,
"Elaine, although you refused me-although I don't have a place in your heart, I still can't let you go. I
want to stay by your side. You can even ignore me. I just want to see you every day."
***
Franklin watched every move of Mark. He was deeply moved by Mark's affectionate gaze. His eyes
turned red.
"Mark, she's okay. You heard the doctor. She'll be fine."
Mark smiled slightly, "Yes, I know. I just feel sorry for her. She's such an innocent little girl. What exactly
happened to her?"
Franklin thought of Hazel, "Mark, by the way, what should we do with Hazel outside the door? She's
asleep. She was drunk, and she even smelled of alcohol. What should we do?"
Mark thought for a moment, "Well, since she's drunk, maybe you can drive her back to the dormitory. I'll
stay here to look after Elaine."
Franklin nodded, "Fine. Call me if you need any help."
"Alright."
Emmett was preoccupied with the company's business at noon, so he couldn't spare any time to call
Elaine until three o'clock in the afternoon.
He wanted to ask her to go shopping in the evening, because he found that his little girl liked shopping
very much, especially buying trinkets.
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.
'Did she mute her phone because of the class? Why didn't she pick it up?'
Emmett frowned and thought to himself.
After a while, Emmett was unable to do anything. He was having a meeting, but the only thing on his
mind was why Elaine did not answer the phone.
So, he left the meeting room to a quiet place, then called Elaine again.
The people at the meeting all felt very strange. Mr. Smith used to be the most serious in the meeting.
What happened today? He had already gone out twice!
Still, no one answered the phone!
Strange! Why didn't Elaine answer the phone? This was the second time.
Emmett had a short temper and immediately flared up. He paced back and forth and wondered if he
could smash his phone right away.
"Kayden, where are you?"
"What? Master Smith..." Kayden's voice indicated that he was in a panic. He looked around where he
was-the shooting site. He then turned to look at Ellie, who was mending her makeup. Kayden blushed
a little.
"Master Smith, I'm outside. Is there anything you need?"
"Go to Elaine's school immediately and find her! She didn't answer my phone! Check what's going on
with her!"
***
"Well, to Irvine University? Copy that. I'll be right there!" Kayden hung up the phone nervously and
sighed.
First, it was Ellie, now Elaine...
What had he done wrong?
Did he owe the Joneses anything before?
"Let's go," Kayden instructed his subordinate.
"Since we're here, why don't you say hello to Ellie?"
The subordinate looked at Kayden curiously and then looked at Ellie.
'Kayden was strange. He took time out of his busy schedule and came here - a site for shooting at the
beach. Yet, he just watched from afar and didn't even say hello to the girl'.
"Master Smith has given order. Let's go!"
Kayden didn't want Ellie to know that he couldn't help but think about her.
He raised his collar and put on his sunglasses. With a wave of his hand, he quietly left the site with his
subordinates.
Ellie was busy instructing the makeup artist how to repair her makeup, "Here, and here-" How could
she notice that there were so many people standing far away from her a moment ago?
However, the director did notice Kayden. As he was drinking a cup of hot tea, he said to the assistant
director beside him, "Hey, did you see that man who just left? He was Ellie's backer. It was said that he
was the head of the gang and also the leader of the ZH Clan. Now, a reliable backer is better than
anything! Damn it. Do you remember Avery? She was so popular a while ago, but what about now?
Well, maybe she was just not lucky. Avery should have been famous. She was good-looking, and also
a good actress-anyway, she was better than Ellie. But what did she do? She offended Ellie, so she was
screwed. How could this happen? "
The assistant director looked at the luxury cars which had just be driven away. He nodded. "All the
actresses in the entertainment business have a powerful backer now. Without a backer, no matter how
good your acting is, no matter how beautiful you are, it's useless."
The director took a sip of tea and nodded, "So, we should all take good care of Ellie now. If that man
keeps helping her, she will be very famous in the future."
