Madeleine was jolted out of her sleep at once.
"It's you, my dear editor. What's wrong? Why are you so angry in the early morning." Madeleine
smirked and said.
"You also know that I am your editor. Manuscript, manuscript. Where’s your manuscript? You promised
you’ll send it to me in me a week. You said you’ll give me a hundred thousand words, and now I don't
even see a single word. Are you kidding me? Give me the manuscript, or I’ll jump into the river with
you!"
Madeleine put the phone away, and Nova Barrett’s high decibel voice almost penetrated her eardrum.
"Darling, calm down." After all, it was her work, and she would not make excuses without reason. "It’s
justified. Ophelia had a car accident a few days ago, and the doctor gave us a critically ill notice, and
she almost couldn't make it. I went to the hospital to take care of her, so the manuscript was delayed."
Sure enough, Nova calmed down.
"When did Miss Ophelia have a car accident?"
"Just a few days ago, and I looked after her in the hospital these days, so I’m uninspired. She was in
the operating room yesterday. I did not get home until nearly three o'clock in the morning, and I fell
asleep as soon as I came back. Could you give me another half a month? I promise I’ll submit it in half
a month. Definitely in time." Madeleine said very seriously.
Nova said, "Which hospital is Miss Ophelia in?"
"The City People's Hospital."
"OK, got it. Come to the company now, I'll discuss it with you, and then we'll go to the hospital to see
her together." Nova made a final decision. "Don't say that you have to sleep. You know the Tigress will
kill us when she’s angry."
Madeleine would not dare to make the Tigress angry, would she? Definitely not.
So she obediently went to the company.
When she got to the company, Nova taught her a lesson for half an hour and stopped just before
Madeleine was about to ask for pardon.
They discussed something about the draft, and in the blink of an eye, it was midnight.
Nova packed her things and said, "Let's go to visit Miss Ophelia."
"Shall we have lunch first? Ophelia is still ill and has no time to arrange lunch for us. " Madeleine
laughed directly.
Nova glanced at her discontentedly and finally had lunch with her before going to the hospital.
When they arrived at the ward, there were already a lot of people crowded in the ward, where there
were various fruits and beautiful flowers.
Mrs. Chamber was driving people away, "Ladies and gentlemen, my daughter-in-law just woke up, and
the doctor said that she can't be tired. We are very grateful that you can come to see her today. It's
noon now. I asked the housekeeper to make a reservation at XH Restaurant. You can have lunch
there, and she also needs a rest."
The guests said goodbye and left the room.
Nova took the fruit she bought and gave Madeleine a look, hesitating at the door with embarrassment.
"Madeleine, it seems that we have come at a bad time. Shall we go in?" Nova asked in a low voice.
Mrs. Chamber had seen Madeleine before she answered Nova’s question.
Mrs. Chamber stepped forward, took Madeleine's hand, and said with a smile, "Why don't you come
in? Ophelia was talking about you, but I did not expect you to come so soon."
Madeleine smiled and entered the ward with Mrs. Chamber.
Madeleine walked to the bedside, gently brushed the bang of Ophelia, and said softly, "Hi, Honey. You
really scared me yesterday. "
The oxygen mask had been taken off her face, but Ophelia was still weak with pale lips.
"Sorry to have worried you."
Madeleine put the fruit on the ground because she could not find a place on the table, which was
already filled with all kinds of fruits.
Nova also leaned in and asked with concern, "Miss Ophelia, do you feel better? I just heard from
Madeleine that you had a car accident, so I come to see you with her."
Ophelia smiled and said, "Miss Barrett, nice to meet you. Sorry to bother you."
Nova also put the fruit on the ground. Ophelia said to Mrs. Chamber, "Mom, please find a chair for Miss
Barrett to sit down."
Mrs. Chamber moved a soft chair and said, "Sit down, please. I'll wash some fruit for you to eat. "
Nova waved her hand and said, "Auntie, that’s OK. Don't bother."
Mrs. Chamber smiled appropriately and looked like a gentle elder.
"You are Ophelia's friends, thank you for coming to see her. Help yourself. You are guests, and I should
take care of you as the host." Mrs. Chamber took the fruit and went into the bathroom.
Nova looked at Ophelia in the bed, with distress and worry in her eyes, "Miss Ophelia, you look pale.
Are you all right?"
Ophelia shook her head gently, and said softly, "It's okay. I just feel tired. Maybe I’ll be better after some
days."
Nova nodded.
She was not particularly familiar with Ophelia. They knew each other through Madeleine, so they had
no common topic then.
However, Ophelia was natural. She said weakly, "Have you had lunch yet?"
