  Even though Louis clearly tried to comfort her, Lilia still asked anxiously, "Then how do you plan our next tour? The doctors said it will take about a month for my leg injury to heal."

  "Lilia, I especially came here today to tell you," the famous director sighed. "This accident has changed everything. I planned to cancel all promotional tours for the film last night, while the film itself will be postponed. You also know that the industry is currently stagnant, so if this tour doesn't come to fruition before the film is released, I'm afraid we won't meet the investors' requirement when our film airs."

  "Coincidentally, Shirley called me this morning and said that she happened to have some free time. Christmas is also only 2 weeks away so she could spare a month or more to return to Indonesia to participate in our film tour. So, at the next event, Shirley might come over to attend our tours. Lilia, I hope you don't have to think too much about our event. After all, none of us wanted this accident to happen."

  It seemed like Louis was worried about Lilia's feelings!

  After listening to Louis' words, Lilia smiled. "Why do I have to think about this matter so much? Besides, Shirley herself is the main character in this film and it would be really nice for me if she really comes and does her job properly,"

  Louis saw Lilia's indescribable thin smile.

  He had been in the entertainment and movies industry for so long, but he rarely met an actor like her.

  There was no arrogance or greed in her intention, and no matter how hard the storm hit her, this woman would always face it with grace.

  Louis raised his hand and wiped his face, then he breathed a sigh of relief. "We are also very sorry for this accident. The crew is actively cooperating on the investigation. Regardless of the result, we will comply with the authority,"

  "Thank you," Lilia replied.

  They only had a brief pep talk for a few minutes, after which Louis urged her to rest properly and immediately left the ward along with everyone.

  With the closing door to her room, Lilia knew in her heart that her relations with the "Chosen Kingdom" crew might still be good right now.

  As for what their relationship would be like in the future, only time could tell.

  After they left, Mellisa returned to her bedside looking sleepy with a plate of peeled apples.

  Though the slices looked pretty much disappointing, she still brought the apples with confidence.

  Mellisa handed the plate to her sister and asked, "Were you talking about that Shirley, the queen of cinema on the Internet?"

  When she learned about Lilia's career as an actor, she also learned about Shirley.

  Shirley didn't make a good impression on her. Mellisa felt that the title 'queen of film' was a bit exaggerating for Shirley. If she were to compare her to someone she knew, Mellisa would say that Shirley mirrored Sasha the most. Only difference to tell them apart was that the former had more self-restraint and not outright embarrassing as the latter.

  Lilia looked at Mellisa with difficulty, then she took the apple close to her face and glanced at it carefully. If this apple was supposed to weigh 300 grams, then, after her older sibling cut it, maybe only 50 grams were left, and the rest was wasted.

  This was a complete waste of food.

  Lilia didn't really like this crooked-shaped apple. After taking a bite, she muttered. "Yes, she is currently studying abroad. But thanks to her, she came out at the right time to put out the fire, though it's quite surprising in itself."

  "How did you know that she was trying to put out the fire on the internet?" Mellisa pouted. "What if it was a scheme? Knowing that you were injured, she purposely ran to the spotlight, right?"

  Lilia smiled indifferently. No matter what the odds were, at least Shirley came and helped Louis on his show.

  Seeing her smile coldly, Mellisa suddenly thought about what she had heard. "Did you know that Tom was in the hospital?"

  Lilia frowned at that. "What happened to him?"

  Yesterday, she seemed to have seen Tom outside the ward in good health. Why was he suddenly hospitalized now?!

  Mellisa seemed to be smiling but not quite genuinely. "I heard that he drank too much and had alcohol poisoning!"

  Lilia was speechless. But she knew Tom could really do this.

  She shifted her gaze to look at her ankles, her round toes moving lightly. "Then…… Do we need to visit him?"

  "No!" Mellisa refused while wiping her hands with a wet towel. "You just went to see William this morning, so you are not allowed to go anywhere this afternoon."

  "Have you forgotten what the doctor said to you? He reminded you not to move your ankle excessively. Do you want to be in constant pain?"

  Lilia pursed her lips and closed her mouth.

  When it came to her health, her older sister was always strict with her……

  It was late in afternoon, but Jean still hadn't come back. Lilia was lying in a hospital bed fiddling with her toes, sometimes snoozing for a while.

  Days without her cell phone made her feel so bored.

  She wanted to get out of the hospital immediately. Her ankle injury was recovering nicely and the fetus in her womb also developed without problems. At least she did not feel any inconvenience.

  Lilia brooded, she planned to wait for Jean to come back to discuss with her.

  Since she was already recovering from her injury, she thought staying home would feel more comfortable.

  The sun was seen drowning behind the hills outside the window frame. The light illuminated the entire room like faded gold gauze.

  Just as Lilia was about to fall asleep in a daze, someone suddenly entered from outside the door.

  Mellisa's legs were overlapping on the coffee table while playing a game on her cellphone. When she suddenly heard the door was being pushed open, she glanced and was a little surprised.

  It was Daniel!

  He walked in excitedly from the door, carrying many items in his hands, such as milk, fruit, pastries, and even skin care products. In short, the gifts he brought were truly luxurious.

  "Sister, I'm here!" Daniel came in with so many things, his eyes were strolling around the room. Then he rushed forward, placing the eight bags in his hand on the coffee table.

  He loosened his bag, and didn't forget to blow into the palm of his hand. His fingers were reddish purple and there was a searing pain.

  As he entered, another man stood silently at the door facing the setting sun.

  Alfred?!

  Mellisa had seen him at dinner that the Mayer family held before. She didn't have a good impression of him. She was even a bit reluctant to be in the same room as him.

  Mellisa pulled her leg off the coffee table and shoved her cell phone into the back pocket of her jeans. She furrowed her brows and walked forward with a cold gaze. "Alfred?"

  Lilia also opened her eyes lazily when she heard that voice. She first saw Daniel, then she moved her eyes to look at Alfred.

  In the golden glow of the room, Alfred's eyes were alluring.

  Lilia realized his presence in an instant, even with her blurry vision.

  Currently, Alfred was standing in front of the door with black glasses on his face. His glasses reflected the light of the setting sun, making it impossible for Lilia to see the true emotion in his eyes.

  With a bunch of red roses in his hand, he nodded apologetically to Mellisa. "Sorry, I came suddenly."

  Mellisa looked calmly at Lilia, the two of them were already on guard.

  At this meeting, Daniel walked to the side of the bed while blowing his hand…… Lilia then asked him, "Daniel, why did you come with Mr. Alfred?"
