Hanson could not hide his exuberance over the fact that Vania had admitted that she liked him, but he kept his face straight and said, "I want you to feed me."
Just like how Vania had fed the other six children, she popped the candy into his mouth.
The sugary sweetness spread from his mouth down to his heart, and he reveled in it.
Hanson pulled Vania into his arms. "Say it again—the things you said earlier."
She pressed her hand against his chest and gazed into his gleaming eyes. If I say it again, you're probably going to jump on me, she thought to herself.
Instead, she changed the subject. "Kiki, the one who drank the poisoned drink during the competition, is still in the hospital right now. I want to pay her a visit. Do you want to come with me?"
Hanson chuckled at how smoothly she switched to a different topic.
He had heard about this incident, but he did not have much of an impression of that contestant.
Since he could not continue doing what he desired, he could only kiss Vania on the cheek to make up for it.
"It wouldn't be appropriate if I went," he answered at last.
That woman was just an unknown actress, so it would be sensational news if he visited her at the hospital.
Vania nodded. "Still, this happened partly due to us. I'll let her know that we're both concerned about this."
That sounded alright to Hanson, so he nodded. "It's up to you what you want to say to her. I'll take you to the hospital."
"Okay."
Vania walked to Kiki's hospital room with a bag of health supplements in hand.
When Kiki saw Vania coming, she immediately tried to sit up.
Vania strode across the room and stood in front of the hospital bed. "It's alright. You're still hooked up to the IV drip so it's best not to move. How are you? Are you feeling better?"
She set aside the items she brought and sat down on the chair next to the bed. When she saw Kiki's pale and sickly complexion, she felt bad about the unexpected crisis that had befallen her.
Kiki was very courteous. "Thank you for your concern, Ms. Greyson. I feel a lot better now."
She looked Vania in the eye and said anxiously, "Thank goodness it wasn't you who got hurt that day."
Vania was taken aback by what she said. "Don't say that. No one would have seen this coming. The incident has been thoroughly investigated, so justice will be served on your behalf," she assured.
Kiki nodded. "I know I can trust you to handle everything, Ms. Greyson."
"The doctor says I'll need to stay in the hospital for a little while longer. I'm afraid it'll affect the competition," she added forlornly.
Vania smiled. "Don't worry, the production team will make the necessary arrangements. All you need to do now is focus on your recovery. Don't concern yourself over all these things."
"Yes, Ms. Greyson."
At this moment, a nurse came into the room to check up on Kiki and Vania asked a few questions about Kiki's condition.
Once she heard that Kiki was fine, she decided to leave. She reminded Kiki, "Let me know if you need anything. I'll help you as long as it is within my power."
Kiki nodded gratefully with somewhat teary eyes. "Thank you, Ms. Greyson."
"You're welcome."
When it came down to it, that incident took place because Bella hated Vania, but an innocent bystander was dragged into it. Vania made such a promise as a way to ease the guilt she felt.
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she added, "Oh, by the way, President Luke sends his regards as well."
The moment Kiki heard that name, her eyes lit up.
However, she quickly regained her composure and said, "I'm very thankful that President Luke took the time out of his busy day to express concern for me even though I'm just a contestant. I will do my best in this competition, and I won't let either you or President Luke down."
