Chapter 432
Stella's face changed. "Stall them, Zayla. Don't let them touch my mother. I'll go over right away."
"I have to go, Mr. Wood," she said after hanging up the phone. Daniel had already heard what was going on through the phone call. He more or less knew about the situation in Stella's family. He knew she had a mother who was in a coma in the hospital and needed long-term medication.
Although Stella's life was rather messy, she was never late for shoots. She was the best at taking criticism and the sharpest actor.
Daniel liked her a lot. So when he heard that, he said, ''Go ahead. We've done a lot of filming today. We need to change the background for our next scene; we can continue the shoot next time."
Stella said goodbye and changed her costume. Then, without taking her makeup off, she rushed to Rotona Pinnacle Hospital.
Several people in very different attires stood at the door of Rainee's ward. The leader of the group held a black leather bag under his armpit. He was dressed relatively ordinarily, but he was rather tall and big. He had a chubby face and a scar at the corner of his left eye up to his scalp, where hair stopped growing. His appearance gave off a sense of cruelty and ruthlessness.
Three other people stood behind him, dressed in gang wear. They had tattoos all over their arm and piercings all over their face. No one dared to pass by the ward when they saw them.
Zayla was afraid they would do something. She stood in front of the hospital bed, wary that they would come in and touch Rainee's equipment just like before.
Most of the medical staff also stood far away. The nurse in charge tried negotiating with the men as their presence affected the hospital and its patients.
