Female Novel
Chapter 48
Chapter 48 Cerys intentionally mentioned that she delivered the script to Trevor at the hospital. She was wonderingif Emma would show concern for Trevor after hearing that he was in the hospital. However, Emma’s focus was entirely on the script. “This version is okay too? That’s great! In that case,please arrange a time for the meeting. It is indeed better for everybody to sit down and discuss thismatter together.” Cerys could only say, “Okay. I will contact you again when I have set up a time and place for themeeting.” Seeing that Emma was about to end the call, she blurted out, “Emma, Mr. Bateson is in the hospitalbecause of his stomach issues.” “Oh? Is that so?” Emma responded to the topic, but her tone was very polite. “Please wish him aspecdy recovery on my behalf. Cerys quietly sighed and ended the call. Walking over to the elevator, she was just about to lift her hand to press the button when the elevatordoor opened. Zachary walked out from within, looking very unruly as he searched his pockets forsomething. When he saw her, he smiled brightly and greeted her. “Hi, Cherry.” He had always liked calling her ‘Cherry for some reason, which made the relationship between the twoof them seem very intimate. However, she knew that he was a playboy and it was very common for himto flirt with women. For that reason, she stepped back and greeled him. “Good morning, Mr. Manson.” Be that as it may, despite knowing that Zachary was only being friendly, Cerys couldn’t stop the blushfrom creeping across her face or her heart from racing He took a step forward and continued to flirt with her. “Do you want to join my company instead? Youremployer is such a handsul after all. Look at how he landed himself in the hospital again.” She mustered up the courage to speak. “Thank you for your concern. I still have work to do, so I’ll betaking my leave now.”
After saying that, she quickly stepped into the elevator and raised her hand to press the button to closethe doors. It was not until the two heavy elevator doors finally closed and separated her from thehandsome man outside that she let out a long sigh of relief. She raised her eyes to look at herself in the reflection of the elevator mirror-large black-rimmedglasses, cold and dull eyes, and a monotonous professional suit in shades of black, white, and graystared back at her. There was a world of difference compared to that man who stood at the top of theworld. Falling in love with a person she could never obtain was both sweet and painful. Emma had heard the secret meaning contained within Cerys’ statement, but she deliberately chose toignore it. What could she do even if she did not ignore it? As Trevor’s ex-wife, it was impossible for herto continue showing concern for him. Besides, he did not lack for her concern. Just ten minutes ago, the post detailing Crystal’s appearanceat the hospital to visit Trevor had already appeared at the top of the current trending topics. Emma generally did not pay much attention to such gossip. It was Susanna who sent that informationto her. Susanna worked in the entertainment circle, so it was only natural that she paid close attention to suchthings. Emma glanced at the trending topics and learned that Trevor had been admitted into the hospital dueto gastric issues. Thus, she wondered whether he was admitted into the hospital because she hadangered him so badly that his gastric issues flared up again. The voice message Susanna sent to her was filled with contempt toward Crystal. “Crystal sure isamazing. Is she afraid she might not be able to marry him? Her beloved man is sick. Who would havethe umc to care about dressing up so brightly and exquisitely? Who would dress up as though she wasgoing for a street photography session? It’s obvious that she posed for this photo so that she can befeatured on the trending topics.” Emma said nothing. She was recalling the scene where Trevor had been admitted into the hospital dueto his gastric issues in the middle of the night.
She had certainly been disheveled because there was no time to care about her image. Her mind hadbeen filled with anxiety and worry about his health and she only had time to randomly grab a coatbefore she followed the ambulance to the hospital. It was only after she arrived at the hospital and hiscondition was confirmed to be nothing serious that she realized she was still wearing her houseslippers. In any case, it did not matter how sincere Crystal was toward Trevor. It was enough that Trevor lovedher. As long as there was love, one would be willing to do anything. When Zachary knocked and entered Trevor’s hospital room, Crystal was graciously taking out thecongee that she cooked from the lunch box. After entering the room, he lazily leaned against the end of Trevor’s hospital bed and teased Crystalwith a smile. “Hi, Superstar Crystal. You’re really virtuous! This porridge smells heavenly! I haven’t hadbreakfast yet. Won’t you give me some too?” Crystal glanced at Zachary angrily. Gritting her teeth, she squeezed out a smile and retorted, “Mr.Manson, I’m sure you don’t lack people to make you porridge.” Of all the times to visit, why does Zachary have to visit at the same time as me? How am I going toenjoy my lovey-dovey alone time with Trevor? It’s so rare for Trevor to have an opportunity where heisn’t swamped with work. I was just planning to get along well with him. She had given much thought to the matter. Over the course of the year, her relationship with Trevorhad been very bland and a large part of the reason was due to his hectic work schedule. He wasalways either having a meeting or going out on a business trip. In addition, she also had some drama engagements and other work to finish during the first half of theyear. For these reasons, the two of them had barely spent any quality time together. Just as Crystal was complaining about Zachary’s arrival in her heari, Trevor took the bowl of porridgethat she handed to him and said, “I have work matters to discuss with Zachary. Why don’t you headback first? You’ve worked hard.” She gritted her teeth inwardly when she heard those words, but she appeared generous and sensibleon the surface. Standing up, she picked up her bag and reminded him. “You must finish all the
porridge, okay? Don’t work too much.” He nodded. “Okay.” Zachary waved at her from the side. “Sorry, Superstar Crystal. I’ll treat you to a meal one day toexpress my apologies.” Crystal snorted coldly before she turned around and left the room. Why would I want Zachary to treat me to dinner? I have no interest in playboys like him. Trevor is somuch better in comparison. He has always been virtuous when it came to women. He never keeps anyrandom woman around him throughout all the years e-except Emma, that shameless b*tch whoclimbed into his bed! Just thinking about Emma made Crystal gnash her teeth in anger. Emma’s existence was like a thornthat was stuck deep into her heart. Even though Emma and Trevor were divorced, the thorn remainedlodged deeply in her heart. What’s more, not only did Emma return to the country and become a screenwriter, she also joined thedrama project that Trevor was involved in. As if that was not bad enough, it turned out that she wasextremely talented. Crystal had no idea until she ordered an investigation on Emma’s background. However, it turned outthat Emma was not only an excellent student but also Elcanor’s closed-door disciple who wasappointed by Eleanor herself. Crystal had always looked down on Emma and scorned Emma for being a good-for nothing, but, now… Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the depression in her heart and wore a calm expression beforeshe stepped into the elevator. She would have to face the reporters at the entrance of the hospital later. Following Crystal’s departure, Zachary pulled a chair over and sat down. His long legs restedunreservedly on the railings at the end of the bed. He glanced at Trevor and said, “I heard from Kalebthat you were so furious at Emma last night that your stomach issues flared up.” Trevor placed the untouched bowl of porridge back on the table and responded to Zachary angrily,“Stop talking about such nonsense all day long.” It was a rare occurrence, but Zachary comforted Trevor, “Emma claimed that she never loved you, butnovelbin
anybody can tell that it’s a lic. The love for you that she showed throughout those three years wasapparent to everybody.” That included Trevor himself; he must also have felt it.
