As she couldn't hear a thing, she didn't know Ashlyn had shown up. That very thought caused Ashlyn's heart to clench painfully.
Standing at the door, she watched Naomi silently for a while before striding ahead and sitting down beside Naomi's bed.
It was only then that Naomi realized someone else was there. Looking up, the young lady flashed a shy smile when she realized Ashlyn had come visiting. Gripping her script, she uttered, “Ashlyn, I was bored in the hospital. Besides, it wouldn't hurt to memorize some lines.”
Taking her hand, Ashlyn told her gently, “You don't have to memorize the lines anymore.”
However, she belatedly realized that Naomi couldn't hear a thing after saying that out loud.
Ashlyn grabbed a pen and a piece of paper on the table and wrote out a sentence. Her handwriting was so neat that it looked like it had been printed out.
She wrote: Stop memorizing the lines, for the script will be edited to accommodate your situation. The character will also be changed. I'll show you the new script in a few days.
“New script? What do you mean, Ashlyn?” Naomi was confused. “Maxwell told me that the scriptwriter, Snowstorm, is a mysterious figure. She won't change the script easily. I've never heard of her meeting other people.”
Ashlyn scribbled hastily: Don't worry.
She then pulled out her phone to give Greg a call so they could discuss editing the script.
As she couldn't hear a thing, she didn't know Ashlyn had shown up. That very thought caused Ashlyn's heart to clench painfully.
Greg had just exited the elevator. “You're in Naomi's ward? Jonathan and I have just arrived. Wait for us. We'll be there soon.”
After hanging up, both men headed to the ward.
Jonathan's brows snapped together in curiosity. “Are we going to change the script? Will my idol agree to it?”
“I have no idea.” Greg shook his head.
They walked into the ward to see Ashlyn reading the script. She looked up and waved at them. “Hurry, come here.”
She then began to explain her idea. “I was thinking of changing the plot. Naomi was originally an assistant, but now the plot will depict the journey of her becoming an actress. Her dream was to become an actress, but life dealt her a blow, and she lost her hearing. Later, she sacrificed a lot and worked hard before getting a chance to act. In the end, she won the best actress award. She became a popular and successful actress. After that, she'll continue picking trash with the top idol.”
“That sounds great. Her ordeal is practically Naomi's ordeal.” Greg stared at her incredulously. The change in the plot would make things easier for Naomi.
In fact, it was an interesting plot.
Hmm, a young lady who lost her hearing. Compared to a healthy assistant, this is far more interesting.
Jonathan tilted his head. “Ms. Berry, will Snowstorm agree to change the script?”
Ashlyn met his gaze. “Your part will remain unchanged. However, you'll still have to work on your acting skills. You shouldn't waste your time worrying about others,” she admonished.
