Yvonne mumbled around the apple in her mouth.
“Whether it’s genuine or not doesn’t matter. We just don’t have that familial bond, so it’s better not to force it.” Yvonne then wrapped her arm around Sandra’s.
“Sandra, you’re the only real sister I have.”
“Don’t try to butter me up. Just stay out of trouble, and I’ll be happy,” Sandra said, poking her on the forehead again.
Yvonne bit into her apple, her eyes curving into crescent moons as she smiled.
Sandra stayed at the hospital all morning and left around noon.
Not long after she left, Bennett arrived.
“Done with your work, Mr. Bennett Thompson?” Yvonne asked with a bright smile. Her spirits were high, and she looked much better than she had that morning, no longer looking so frail and heart-wrenchingly ill.
“I slipped away for a bit. I can only stay for a little while; I have to go back tonight.” He was holding a thermos, and as soon as he opened it, Yvonne recognized the aroma of Helen’s cooking.
“Helen’s soup smells amazing.”
“Then you should eat more of it. you ate too little this morning.” Bennett poured the soup into a bowl and began feeding it to her himself.
Yvonne drank more than she had that morning, finishing the entire small bowl.
Just as she finished, a nurse came in to change her IV drip.
“Just one more bag today. The doctor said that as long as your fever doesn’t return tonight, you can be discharged tomorrow,” the nurse said as she set up the drip.
By the time Yvonne’s final IV drip was finished, it was time for Bennett to leave.
“I have a meeting at the base that I can’t miss, so I have to go back.” Bennett stood up and glanced at his watch.
“The assistant can stay with me tonight. You don’t have to keep rushing back and forth, it’s too exhausting,” Yvonne said.
He started the car and slowly pulled away from the hospital, driving onto the wide road.
Yvonne looked out the window and noticed they weren’t heading back to the film set.
“I’m all better. Aren’t we going back to the set?” she asked, confused.
“We’re going back to Cherry Bay. I had Sandra get you a few days off. Getting sick is sudden, but recovery takes time. You need to rest properly.”
“Okay.” Yvonne nodded, not arguing with him.
She knew she wouldn’t win, and besides, Bennett was genuinely looking out for her. Arguing would just be ungrateful.
As Bennett drove, Yvonne sat in the passenger seat, scrolling idly through her phone.
The biggest entertainment news of the day was that the well-known producer Marshall was having an affair with a married woman.
