Bradley felt a little helpless seeing that Robb was so anxious that he was about to cry. âI said sheâs fine;
that means sheâs fine. If you donât believe me, would you believe a doctor? Iâll have the doctor tell you himself later.â
Roger pressed his lips tightly, still unconvinced. He looked at Bradley with some doubt.
A short moment later, the doctor finally came out.
Roger rushed to the doctor. âDoctor, Iâm the patientâs brother. Howâs the patient named Stella?â
The doctor, who was taking off his gloves, paused at the name. âThere is no patient named Stella.â
Roger was stunned for a moment before he quickly corrected himself. âSorry, I said wrongly. Itâs Ella Steeleâ¦â
âElla Steele. Yeah. Sheâs still unconscious mainly because of her recent overwhelming worries and the impact on her head. She didnât suffer any other serious trauma. She has a small wound on her inner calf, which weâve stitched up. Itâs nothing serious. If she takes care of it, there wonât be any scar. Sheâll heal if...â :
Roger breathed a sigh of relief upon listening to the doctorâs advice.
Bradley looked at him in amusement. âYou must be very close with your sister. You were so panicked and even called her name wrongly. Why did you say her name wrong?â He accidentally referred to Ella as Stella. It was clear that he panicked too much. Rogerâs eyes flickered for a moment. He did not say anything and fell into a short silence. After that, he finally remembered to ask Bradley, âWho are you?â
âIâm the director of the film.â Bradley held out his hand to him. âIâm partly responsible for what happened to your sister. Donât worry. Iâll pay for her medical fees.â
In Stellaâs ward.
The nurse came out and saw the two men standing at the door. They were both goodâlooking and had been guarding in front of the ward. They attracted much attention in the hallway. âAre you both family members of the patient?â
âI am!â Roger rushed forward. âI am! How is she? Is she awake? Can I go in and see her now?â
The nurse said, âCalm down. Sheâs heavily sedated. Sheâll probably wake up later. If she hasnât eaten anything, you can get some light food for her.â
Roger nodded. âIâll go get some right away. Can I go in now?â.
He could not rest until he saw for himself and confirmed that Stella was all right.
Bradley patted his shoulder. âCalm down. Youâll be able to see her soon.â
âYouâre the patientâs...â The nurse got a little curious. She could tell that the handsome young boy must be the patientâs younger brother. However, the man next to him...
â
âAre you the patientâs husband?â âNo. She works for me.â Bradley gave her a look.
Then, the nurse suddenly recognized him.
âYouâre Bradley!â She was very surprised. âYouâre the young director! Iâve seen your films.â
She suddenly got excited and squealed.
Bradley hushed her at once. âKeep your voice down.â
The nurse quickly blinked and nodded. âI know. I wonât say anything!â Her heart was pounding in excitement as she chirped, âCan I take a picture with you? Can I have your autograph?â Bradley had no choice but to deal with her patiently. Roger ignored the two and went straight into the ward.
When he saw Stella lying on the hospital bed and looking pale, he felt a pang of pain.
He knew she could not hear him, but he called out softly, âSisâ¦â
