Jane spoke in a gentle voice, but Nana interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.
“Carl told you I was sent to the hospital last night?” Nana asked calmly.
Jane nodded in agreement.
At this moment, there were no emotions visible on Nana’s face, as if she was recounting something unrelated to herself.
“Last night, I encountered a few thugs in the alley, and the person who saved me should be William, but he left before I woke up.”
Listening to Nana’s calm narrative, Jane’s eyes couldn’t help but show surprise. “William?”
“Have you contacted him by phone?” Jane asked in astonishment.
Nana shook her head gently and sighed, denying, “No, he changed his number a long time ago. Carl came to the hospital to see me this morning.”
Her calmness made Jane aware that someone who appeared calm after a dangerous situation was abnormal.
Jane furrowed her brow and tentatively tried to explain to Nana, “I know there’s a misunderstanding between you two. Actually, Carl doesn’t know anything about it. Someone answered the call you made in the lounge and deleted the call records.”
That was indeed the case, Carl was completely unaware of this matter.
But Carl understood Nana’s personality, and in this situation, no matter how he explained, there would be no breakthrough.
“Is that so?”
Nana coldly chuckled, not believing Carl’s explanation.
Jane didn’t want their relationship to become too strained, especially since Nana’s baby would be born soon.
“Of course, Carl really didn’t deceive you.”
Jane further emphasized, quickly responding, “If you don’t believe it, you can go to the set and ask after you’re discharged. The staff saw Grace with their own eyes…”
“Alright, let’s not talk about this topic.”
Nana interrupted her again, rubbing her temples and said, “Right now, I just hope the baby is safe and sound. I don’t want to worry about other people and things.”
Seeing Nana’s impatience, Jane didn’t continue speaking.
After a moment of silence, Nana also felt the awkward atmosphere in the ward and took the initiative to express her intentions.
“After being discharged, I will reconsider my future with Carl. Perhaps we are simply not suitable.”
Nana said calmly, deliberately making her face look relaxed and at ease.
Learning that she had thoughts of breaking up, Jane couldn’t help but worry.
Nana was about to become a mother, how would she raise the child alone if she separated from Carl at this time?
Considering the reality, Jane held Nana’s hand and earnestly persuaded, “Alright, it’s inevitable for two people to have conflicts when they’re together, but there’s no need to escalate it to this extent. Actually, Carl really cares about you.”
Despite Jane’s encouragement, Nana remained unmoved.
Every word Grace said on the phone at that time still felt vivid in her memory.
And the confidence that woman had indicated that Carl and Grace had a complicated relationship.
With tumultuous emotions inside, Nana didn’t want to swallow her pride, but out of consideration for Jane’s goodwill, she just gave a perfunctory response, “Let’s talk about it later. I need to focus on getting better first.”
Jane understood that Nana could be stubborn at times, so she smiled gently and comforted her, “Alright, just don’t overthink things. Consider the child in everything.”
That day, the two of them talked in the hospital room until noon, and during that time, Carl never appeared.
In the late evening, Carl left the set and rushed to the hospital as soon as possible.
However, he was stopped by a nurse in the corridor.
“Sorry, Mr. Waters, Nana said she doesn’t want visitors and asked me to relay this to you. She doesn’t intend to change rooms.”
Upon hearing Nana’s firm attitude, Carl knew that their misunderstanding had not been resolved.
Even though Jane came specifically to mediate, it was still in vain.
Carl’s previously rapid breathing calmed down, and he didn’t want to affect Nana’s emotions, so he handed the things he had in his hand to the nurse.
“These are supplements I bought for her. Can you please give them to her?”
After saying that, Carl shook his head helplessly, and his desolate figure quickly disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
Not long after, Nana saw the nurse bringing in two boxes of supplements.
She was stunned and quickly guessed that Carl had been to the hospital.
Without waiting for the nurse to speak, Nana spoke first, “Miss, you can keep these things for me. If he comes to the hospital again, please return them to him.”
“Well…”
The nurse looked hesitant.
Although she didn’t mind helping, as an outsider, she could see that Nana and Carl’s relationship was still strained.
Soon, Jane returned to Star Entertainment.
She had been worried about the company’s situation on the way and checked Twitter several times, but fortunately, there hadn’t been any negative news about the company in the past few days.
Jane opened the company’s official account and then smiled with satisfaction.
Marco had been doing a great job with the scheduled promotions every week, even on weekends, never forgetting to promote the company’s partners.
It seemed that Marco’s management was still good. Seeing this, Jane let go of half of her worries.
Soon, she returned to the company, and the employees were spirited, showing no signs of slacking off while she was away.
Jane greeted a few employees and then went to the practice room for trainees.
“Boss.”
When they saw Jane, the trainees stopped their activities.
“Where have you been these days?”
They all came up to greet Jane and, at her request, performed a dance in front of her.
“Not bad, there’s improvement compared to the last time.”
Jane nodded, it seemed that Marco was managing well.
“Mr. Gibson has been visiting us regularly and talking to us a lot.”
When Marco was mentioned, the trainees praised him.
But their expressions changed, “But we haven’t seen him in a while. Maybe something came up.”
Jane’s pupils contracted. He hadn’t come to the company these past few days?
Jane returned to her office and checked the employees’ attendance records for these days.
Sure enough, Marco hadn’t come to work for two days.
This quickly caught Jane’s attention. She entrusted the company to Marco, and he had been taking care of everything well, but now he started to slack off?
Frowning, Jane picked up her phone and called Marco.
It rang for a long time, but no one picked up.
“Hello, the person you’re calling is currently unavailable…”
After the ringtone ended, an automated voice came on.
Jane opened her mouth and called Marco several more times.
Still, no one answered. Helpless, Jane sent him a few text messages.
“Marco, if you don’t answer my calls, I’ll deduct all your salary!”
“If you still don’t answer, I’m telling you, you won’t be getting your year-end bonus!”
She sent a string of messages, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea, no one responded.
Jane furrowed her brow. Could it be that something happened to Marco?
“If you don’t reply, I’ll create a shipping with April and another male actor.”
April was Marco’s bottom line. After she sent that message, Marco still didn’t respond.
Jane opened her mouth, looking at the messages, but Marco never replied.
She called Marco more than ten times, but still no response.
For a moment, Jane furrowed her brow.
She called April over. Recently, Marco had been pursuing April, and according to his style, he would definitely inform her of his schedule.
“Has Marco contacted you recently?”
Jane asked straightforwardly as April opened her phone. April shook her head.
“He said he went out for dinner two days ago, but he hasn’t messaged me since.”
He hadn’t even replied to April?
