On the other side…
When Abigail arrived at the hospital, she learned that Jackie had already arranged for a private doctor who had been waiting for her.
Jacob carried her discreetly through a passage to reach the consultation room.
Abigail's ankle wasn't seriously injured and only required a few days of rest and medication. However, her immediate concern was her shooting schedule.
The nurse replied, "Ms. Fox, scenes that require you to stand cannot be filmed, but those where you can sit or lie down and deliver lines are fine."
The doctor frowned and advised, "With your foot injured like this, you shouldn't even consider filming. You need to focus on recovering first."
"But I can't keep the entire crew waiting for me!" Abigail worriedly took out her phone and called Jackie. To her surprise, her usually attentive agent started to stutter, "Um... Abigail, the van's maintenance isn't completed yet... Oh, no, it needs major repairs and will take at least a week!"
"What?" Abigail widened her eyes. "Then, can you come and pick me up and drop me off?"
"Baby, please understand! I have other work to attend to... Uh, you'll have to figure out your own way to the set!"
"Hello?"
After saying that, Jackie abruptly ended the call, leaving Abigail fuming and tempted to throw her phone.
"What a jerk! How dare he speak to me like that now?! Can you believe..."
"Don't worry," Jacob said gently. "Why don't I take you to the set during this period and then bring you back home?"
Abigail's heart skipped a beat as she thought she might have misheard him. When she looked up, she met Jacob's sincere gaze and froze.
