Chapter 523

Sean was already in a foul mood from being forced to be in the restroom. The news of Eric having

recovered only further fueled Sean's irritation.

Even without his assistant's report, he had already speculated that would be the case as Eric hadn't

returned to the restroom after Sean did. It seemed to him that Olivia's acupuncture treatment was

effective.

A sense of regret washed over him as he looked back on how ugly his thoughts were. Though it was

indeed true that he had a fear of needles, he did cast doubt on Olivia's action.

Given that he was in this predicament because of Olivia's drink, he had difficulties trusting Olivia over

this matter.

However, even if he presently had the intention of asking for treatment from Olivia, he was not so thick-

faced as to beg for it.

Seeing that Sean was silent, the assistant continued nagging, "But to think Miss Maxwell's skills are the

real deal. The colors on Mr. Gabel's face returned after going through that acupuncture."

With difficulty, Sean stood up and came out the door while holding onto it. "That's enough. You can stop

rubbing salt over my wounds. Since I've already rejected her goodwill, I do not have the cheek to ask

for her help."

The moment Sean came out, the assistant immediately went and supported his weight. "What is there

to be ashamed of? You are in this predicament because you drank Miss Maxwell's milk tea. Even after

all is said and done, she shares part of the blame! Allowing her to treat you shows how benevolent and

forgiving you are. It's normal for you to suspect her when you consider the circumstances!"

Sean corrected his assistant. "I was not given the drink; I took it from her!"

The assistant continued, "Since she has performed the treatment on Mr. Gabel, it's only fair if she

performs it on you as well. Come on, let's go see her. Right now it's either her or the hospital. If you

keep staying this way, you're going to suffer dehydration as well!"

The two continued walking out of the restroom and entered the main area. Eric was already standing

tall, as though he never had diarrhea in the first place.

Eric greeted Sean passionately when he saw Sean walking in. "Sean! Come on, let's get Olivia to give

you the acupuncture. It's not painful at all! On the contrary, it felt so comfortable that I had no urges to

go to the restroom at all."

Olivia had already finished packing up her things and had put away the small pouch. She turned her

attention to Eric as she heard him mention her name. When she noticed Sean standing beside Eric,

she innocently advised Sean, "If you don't want the acupuncture treatment, then it's better to just go to

the hospital. Though I was unaware that something was done to the drinks, you did take the drinks

from me. I'll take responsibility for this matter."

The reasons for her advice were twofold. One, she did not wish to put Sean on the spot. Two, she was

the great Doctor Bailey. There was no need to spend effort in explaining herself. She could not be

bothered if the others did not believe in her skills.

Sean was planning to accept the offer given to him before. However, due to what Olivia had said, he

felt that it was better to continue using the excuse of his fear of needles. He couldn't be so shameless

as to ask Olivia for her help. "Don't worry. I know that it wasn't your fault."

Olivia raised her brows in response and then gave the small black bag she was using to Jewel.

Jewel took it from her and then went to store it back in the locker.

"Then you should hurry to the hospital now."

"Yes," Sean replied.

Director Norris stayed silent throughout the conversation between Sean and Olivia. Though Olivia did

have the skills to walk the talk, there was nothing that could be done if Sean refused to place his faith in

her.

And so, the director ordered a few of the people on set to escort Sean to the hospital.

Director Norris chose to stay to investigate this incident.

The result of the testing on the drinks came back positive for laxatives after a while. It was evident that

someone had the intention of causing trouble within the crew.

In a chilling tone, Director Norris gave the order that no one was to leave the premises until the incident

was resolved and that whoever tried to do so would be regarded as the culprit behind this incident.

Just as he was fired up about catching the culprit, he was notified that the surveillance footage had

been deleted.

Immediately, rage surged inside him. "Looks like someone is putting in their effort in something else

besides acting. Why are you starting a fight among yourselves if you're part of the same crew? We're

only going to be working for a couple of days at most, so why can't you just choose to endure it? Fine.

The culprit better pray I don't catch him. He better not blame me for being heavy-handed on this! You!

Get a computer expert to restore the deleted footage right now. I swear I'll make the culprit pay when I

catch him!"
