Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 735

Yelena never expected that Hank could endure not reaching out to her for such a long time. Before, no matter how she resisted, Hank would at least ask her once a day. But now, a whole week had passed without a single word from Hank. Without his interruptions, Yelena surprisingly found herself feeling a bit bored and down.

Jesus, what are you thinking? Yelena vigorously shook her head, trying to shake off these absurd thoughts.

He’s not reaching out to me, but it’s good because it’s peaceful. Why bother thinking about him? Yelena was disgusted by her own behavior. When Hank used to relentlessly reach out to her, she felt nothing, and now that he wasn’t, she felt down.

With that in mind, Yelena struggled through several takes during filming, leaving the director utterly baffled.

“Yelena, what’s going on with you? You’ve never been this off your game before. What’s up today?”

Yelena scratched her head, somewhat helpless. “I’m just not feeling my best today. Maybe I can try again.”

Seeing her state, Kyle Palmer, who was nearby, handed her a cup of warm water with a smile. “It’s alright, we’ve shot quite a few scenes already. There’s no need to rush. Take a break, have some water, and get back to filming when you’re ready.”

Kyle had always been so gentle, and Yelena didn’t pay it much mind. She took the water and had a sip. However, as soon as the water went down her throat, her face suddenly changed.

Out of nowhere, a sharp pain shot through her lower abdomen. Yelena doubled over in pain, clutching her stomach, her face contorted in agony. “Did you put something in the water? Did you poison me?”

Kyle was taken aback by her sudden change in demeanor. He went pale, his face drained of color. “No, I just got this water from the dispenser. How could there be anything wrong with it?”

After all, even if he wanted to poison her, he wouldn’t dare be so blatant about it. Moreover, they had no grudges or disputes, so he had no reason to harm her.

Yelena’s mind raced through these thoughts in an instant, but the pain in her belly showed no signs of abating. Suddenly, her face froze.

Kyle thought something serious was happening to Yelena. He quickly lifted her up in his arms. “Never mind everything else. I’ll take you to the hospital first.”

Suddenly being lifted off the ground, Yelena screamed in panic, “No, no, no, put me down! I know what’s wrong! I don’t need to go to the hospital!”

“Then what’s going on with you?” Kyle saw that Yelena’s face was still pale, and her forehead was covered in a layer of cold sweat. Even her lips were turning white. It didn’t look like she was acting.

“It’s that time of the month…” Yelena laughed awkwardly.

Kyle chuckled awkwardly as well. Then, he gently lowered her back down to the ground. Though they had figured out the cause of the problem, Kyle was still concerned. He asked, “Do you need me to get you something?”

Kyle had always been very considerate, and he knew exactly what Yelena needed.

Yelena wanted to refuse and have her assistant go get something, but then she realized her assistant was nowhere to be seen. So, with no other choice, she let Kyle help her.

What am I crying for? How embarrassing! Isn’t this the outcome I had hoped for? He has found the person he wants and is letting go of our relationship.

“Yelena, can you toughen up a bit? Why cry? No crying allowed!” Yelena mumbled to herself and wiped away her tears with determination. She grabbed a tissue and wiped the phone screen vigorously.

Then, she calmly typed out a single word. ‘Okay.’

Upon seeing her response, the other side quickly replied with a simple “Thank you.”

Thank you? For what? It felt so distant. Yelena didn’t understand why, but reading those words only made her cry even harder.

She stood up abruptly and began swiftly packing up everything in the room related to him. Even with a cardboard box, she struggled to fit all the belongings and ended up filling three large boxes to the brim.

There. All these things are related to him.

While tidying up, Yelena silently ridiculed him in her mind. What a stingy man he is, asking for everything back after the breakup, but I don’t lack anything, so I’m returning them.

Hank, if that’s how it is, let’s never contact each other again.
