Hazel clenched her fists and closed her eyes. Two lines of clear tears slowly flowed down her cheeks. She was not surprised by this result, but she did not expect it to be so bad.
Elva’s hands and feet were tied up with ropes and were dripping with blood, and there were traces of being whipped on her body.
In addition, there was another fact that was not so optimistic.
Elva was always in a panic. When seeing people, she would hold her head and scream. These signs were similar to mental disorders. If her mind was strongly stimulated, she might not be able to live like a normal person in the future.
Hazel was stunned. Her fingernails dug into her palm, and her wounds were pierced through. Bright red blood flowed out of the wounds, staining the white silk.
Perhaps she was already numb to the pain. She did not notice it at all.
“Care about yourself first.”
Baron couldn’t understand how there was such a stupid woman in the world.
It wasn’t easy for Hazel to escape, and she still had an unknown potion in her body. She could die at any second.
She was miserable and still had the mood to care about others.
Besides, he had sent people to investigate that the reason why Hazel was kidnapped was an unexpected disaster and she was completely implicated by Elva.
Elva was not indiscreet. She sold herself for a role and was threatened by the wife of the investor with Elva’s naked photos. Therefore, Elva came to Hazel for help. Hazel should have sued Elva since such a thing happened. However, Hazel was bitter and self-reproached. Her mind was confused indeed.
“By the way, Ms. Horatio, there is another piece of bad news.”
Dave gritted his teeth and made up his mind, continuing, “Miss Gold has also been injected with an unknown drug and it has not been detected yet.”
The technology of domestic virus research was limited. Mapleley would be the best place to analyze the pink drug composition in Hazel’s body.
“When your fever is gone, I will arrange for you to go.”
Baron adjusted his suit and ordered Hazel in a commanding tone.
“I don’t want to go.”
If it was really a rare virus, she could not afford to treat it. It was better to make more money while she was alive. She did not want her family to bear the debt because of what happened to her.
Resting for two or three days was already her limit. Tomorrow, she had to go to the set.
“No?”
Baron turned his head in surprise and glared at Hazel again.
She was indeed a crazy woman who did not even want to be alive!
Who knew if the injection was invented by Plum Blossom for revenge? If it was infectious, he would also be affected since he and Hazel had had intimate contact. Therefore, both of them had to go to Mapleley as soon as possible.
What Baron had decided would not change. He was not discussing it with Hazel but informing her.
He ignored Hazel and turned to leave. He had wasted too much time on her.
His time was very precious. His time was money. Because of his absence for one day, the group’s losses were enormous.
“Well… Can you help me to tell them that I want to be discharged?”
Given the situation, Hazel had to compromise. Hazel saw that Baron was about to leave and quickly wiped her tears. She felt that she had been crying for days. It was weird since she wasn’t a crying baby.
“About the hospitalization expenses…”
Hazel remembered that the crew had bought accident insurance for everyone because during the filming process, there would always be unexpected events. They did that just in case.
The expenses wouldn’t all be reimbursed, but she should be able to pay for the remaining part since she had some money. Also, she wanted to visit Elva to know her current condition.
Baron waved his hand, not wanting to hear a word. He was already speechless at this stupid woman.
He thought that if the humans were all so stupid, he wanted to hide on another planet immediately to avoid them.
Baron gently clapped his hands a few times, and two strong men in black suits immediately came in.
“Keep an eye on her and follow her wherever she goes.”
Baron ordered the bodyguards and turned to go out.
“I don’t want to stay in the hospital. I still have to go to the set tomorrow!” Hazel was stunned by this scene and resisted fiercely.
Her phone had been switched off for these days. She had already offended her agent. If she still didn’t show up, she probably wouldn’t be able to get a role in the future and she would miserably become an extra.
The extras’ paycheck was far from enough for one to make a living, and if they were lucky, their meals might be covered. In fact, it would be better to work in an ordinary company and be a white-collar worker.
Hazel was unwilling. She felt that being an actress was her destiny. She should play different characters and experience different lives.
From that, she could learn a lot.
During the four years of college, she spent so much money on tuition fees, and in the end, she was forced to change her profession helplessly. She couldn’t accept it.
“What if I want to go to the bathroom?”
Hazel saw that resistance was ineffective and took a roundabout approach.
“Call the nurse.”
Baron’s face went even colder. He paused at the door and turned to look at Hazel. He mocked, “If you need someone to accompany you when you go to the bathroom, do you think you can walk out of this hospital on your own?”
He had thought that her stupidity was a matter of character, and now he understood that it was an IQ defect. After all, not many people were geniuses like him, and he could endure it.
Hazel blushed and remained silent. She must have been muddled from the fever.
Ignoring the two bodyguards, Hazel quickly turned on her phone when she saw that it had been charged.
She called her parents first to ask about how they were doing.
Baron walked to the door and stopped.
He suddenly wanted to know how ordinary people interacted with their parents.
His parents got married because of business demands. There was no love. And they were indifferent to Baron, their only son. Both his dad and mom had lovers.
They lived their own lives and didn’t see each other all year round.
Hazel didn’t dare to tell her parents about her situation. She lied that she had been filming in the mountains recently and the signal was bad, so she didn’t call in time.
After hearing this, Hazel’s mom complained a few words over the phone, but she was more concerned. “Hazel, you’re alone outside. Don’t be so thrifty. You’re at your best age. Buy a few more dresses to wear.”
“Yes, you look good in a skirt. Also, you have to behave yourself. If you meet a reliable man, you should cherish the opportunity and take care of each other.”
Hazel’s dad followed.
Hazel nodded as if she agreed with them.
People in showbiz generally married late, and there were plenty of people in their forties who were not married.
Especially those popular stars. Getting married would affect their popularity negatively and they also had to take care of their family. This would be a huge distraction.
For Hazel, her career was important and her family was the same. She longed to be warm by someone in an unfamiliar city.
Thinking of Bruce who was still unconscious, she was sad.
Baron didn’t realize that he was eavesdropping. Dave opened his eyes wide. His mouth was wide enough to hold an egg.
Did Baron change?
Baron had always been disdainful of meaningless topics related to families.
