Chapter 24 Who find the reporter?
When Brooke got the call from Karina, Cyril went straight to the hospital without hesitation. 1
When he arrived, he found the hospital swarming with people, especially around Karina’s room. There were constant streams of patients and medical staff rubbernecking.
Seeing this, Cyril’s eyebrows furrowed tightly. He hadn’t paid good money for these people to show up and gawk.
“What are you all doing here? Don’t you have work to do?” he said sternly.
The crowd that had been eagerly spectating suddenly heard Cyril’s voice and jumped in fright. They quickly made up excuses to leave, not wanting to stick around now that Cyril was unhappy with them.
Once the area was cleared out, Cyril entered Karina’s room, only to be shocked again.
The room was extremely messy, with everything not nailed down strewn across the floor. Things had clearly been swept off surfaces and cabinets.
Cyril looked around, not knowing what had happened. He didn’t see any nurses around, which bothered him. He was paying good money – he expected better service.
As he walked further into the room, he suddenly heard sobbing coming from a corner. He went over to see Karina sitting on the floor, knees pulled tight to her chest, head buried as
she cried.
“What happened?” Cyril asked gently, crouching down to be at her eye level.
“Some reporters showed up this morning. I don’t know how they found out I was here, but they just barged in! Wouldn’t listen when people tried to stop them. They started bombarding me with questions about those online rumors, asking if they were true, if I was going to quit showbiz, just awful prying questions. They wanted me to have a breakdown! Can you believe it?” Karina looked at Cyril pitifully.
“I didn’t know what to do so I started throwing things at them. That finally scared them off.
In truth, the mess in the room wasn’t entirely from scaring off reporters. After they had left, Karina had lashed out in anger and frustration. She had caused quite the disruptive scene, yelling and sweeping things off of surfaces. She had frightened away the nurses.
Hearing all this, Cyril’s expression darkened. How did those reporters even get in?
“What exactly did you say to them?” he asked.
