Xing City Hospital
ER.
''The patient doesn't take alcohol. In her medical records it is said that she has a rare blood group that makes her body unable to digest alcohol. Didn't you know about this?'' the doctor at the ER asked Lin Shen.
''No, I…'' Lin Shen turned to look at Ana who was sleeping under the influence of the medicine.
''She is your girlfriend; you should be careful what she eats or drinks. If you hadn't brought her in early, it would have been a disaster. This lady would have died any second late.'' The doctor scolded Lin Shen.
''I…'' A sudden wave of guilt came over Lin Shen as he looked at Ana.
He had a confused expression on his face. As if not knowing what to do.
''She can leave after she wakes up and the drips are over. Make sure she doesn't drink alcohol again. Even 1% of alcohol is detrimental to her health and life in general.''
''Yes, Doctor!'' Lin Shen replied and went closer to the bed after the doctor left.
He looked into her bag and removed her phone.
Lin Shen turned it on and noticed she didn't have a lock or password on it. ''She doesn't even have a password.''
Lin Shen went to her contacts and scrolled through, '' 'Sugar.', This must be her friend at the café.''
Lin Shen dialed the number and the call went through.
''Babe, how did it go with the junior Yu trash?''
''I believe I am that Yu junior trash. Your friend is at the hospital. She is at the ER!'' Lin Shen said to Jessy over the phone.
''You… what did you do to my friend?''
''I didn't do anything. She drank alcohol and fainted.''
''What? Ana must never take alcohol. Just what did you do to her?''
''I don't have time to talk. Come and look after her. It's late, I'm leaving.'' Lin Shen ended the call and placed the phone back in Ana's bag.
He stood up and turned to go and heard Ana muttering in her sleep.
''Don't do this, Shiao. I will change, please don't leave me...''
Lin Shen looked at her and furrowed his brows.
''What is she muttering about?'' Lin Shen muttered and picked his jacket, going away.
….
Ana opened her eyes and saw Jessy sitting beside her. She touched Jessy who was sleeping and asked.
''Jessy, what are you doing here? Where am I?''
''Good grief, Ana. You scared me. Do you know how scare I was when that Yu trash called me to say you were in the hospital. Ana, I thought I warned you. Why did you still take in alcohol? Do you want to die?''
''Okay, stop nagging me already. I am not dead, am I?'' Ana tried to sit up and Jessy helped her.
''Hey, you wench. I was so afraid and worried.''
''I'm sorry!''
''Tell me, what happened there? Why did you end up drinking so much?''
''He wouldn't take a simply apology for an answer. I had to drink the whiskey he offered.''
''That Yu junior bastard. Wait, what do they take you for? The elder one suddenly broke things off with you and now the younger one is blaming you for cancelling the engagement. Ana, I think it's time you told everyone the truth. You weren't the one who broke off the engagement."
"You loved that elder Yu trash so much but he wanted to break up with you after finding out that you are an illegitimate daughter of the Lee family. That family is trash through and through. I can't believe the guts of this boy to blame it all on you.'' Jessy said angrily.
''It's alright. It's been three years already. Just let it be!''
''But Ana, a lot of people have misunderstood you for so long.''
''Jessy, can you go and get my discharge papers? I have to go to the office.''
''The office? Ana, you are sick!''
''Yu Lin Shen will be coming this morning for the photoshoot and interview. I can't leave this to someone else or my stepbrother would find ways to discredit me in front of my father. You know the board of directors meeting is coming up. I am a candidate for promotion.''
''You work so hard for the Lee family, yet they don't even appreciate it.''
''Give it a rest, Jessy!''
''Whatever, I am so angry.'' Jessy stood up and walked towards the counter.
….
Lin Shen's villa.
''Don't do this, Shiao. I will change, please don't leave me''
Lin Shen turned off the shower and placed his hands on the wall. The words of Ana still rang in his head and he was bothered for some reason.
''What was she talking about?''
''Lin Shen removed a towel and wrapped it around his waist and went out of the room.
….
Glow Up Ltd.
Studio.
Ana entered the studio and saw Lin Shen already seated at the couch. She turned to Vivian who had walked over and asked.
''When did he get in?''
''He came very early. When I told him I was going to call you, he said I shouldn't bother you. Miss Ana, his attitude today is totally different from yesterday. I wonder, did something happen?'' Vivian whispered.
''It's everything ready? Where is the photographer?'' Ana asked
''Everything is ready. The photographer said he is on the way… there is he is.'' Vivian said and Ana turned.
''Mr. Tunde, good morning.'' Ana walked over to the photographer.
''Good morning, Ana. What's wrong with you? Your eyes have sunk in and you look pale.''
''I'm fine. Just a little under the weather.'' Ana smiled.
''I see, you should take care of yourself.''
''I will do that.''
''It's the model ready?''
''Yes, he is. I will bring him over while you settle down.''
''Sure.''
Ana smiled and turned to look towards Lin Shen. He was making a call. Ana started walking towards him and noticed he ended his call when she got closer.
''Mr. Yu, good morning.'' Ana said professionally.
''Good morning. You got out of the hospital?'' Lin Shen asked.
''Thanks to you, I am fine. Mr. Yu, the photographer is ready. Can we go now?''
''Yes, I am also ready.'' Lin Shen replied. He had made up his mind not to make things difficult for Ana.
He would be professional and then, go their separate ways afterwards.
''This way then…'' Ana said and waited for Lin Shen to stand up. He stood up and they walked towards the shooting area.
