Juniper General Hospital.

Seraphina Sutton sat on the sofa in the luxurious VIP ward, quietly reading a script with her head bowed.

For the past two days, she had stayed by Minerva Jace's side, dutifully and affectionately serving her.

Now that Minerva had confirmed she was her long-lost granddaughter, she simply couldn't dote on her enough.

Knowing that Quinn Foster's upcoming web series was funded by the Jace family, Minerva was eager to call Quinn right after her fracture surgery, demanding she give Seraphina the lead role.

But Seraphina gently pressed her hand down, softly declining.

"Grandma, even though I love acting, Director Foster... I'd rather work with directors and industry professionals who have stronger ethics."

She didn't explicitly spell it out, but Minerva understood exactly what her granddaughter meant.

Recalling how Quinn had indeed humiliated her granddaughter at the banquet, Minerva said affectionately,

"Alright, whatever you say. Cosmos Pictures will pull the funding from Foster's project to avenge my sweet girl.

I'll have the business department bring over all the scripts we plan to invest in this quarter for you to pick from.

You just tell me which one you want to star in, and Grandma will fund it, okay?"

So, for the past two days, besides keeping Minerva company, Seraphina spent her time in the ward picking out scripts.

In the past, she had to bow and scrape just to land a minor role, but now, that was history.

With the chairwoman of Cosmos Pictures as her grandmother, what resources couldn't she get?

Just as she was engrossed in the synopsis of a historical drama, a knock sounded on the door of VIP Ward 7.

Seraphina tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. When she looked up, a flash of panicked astonishment crossed her eyes.

The person who walked in was actually Lucas Lancaster.

Today, he wore a trendy tie-dye hoodie, the dark base bleeding into gray ink-like patterns. The oversized fit hung loosely over his shoulders, revealing a hint of a white-trimmed collar underneath, adding an air of effortless, rebellious charm.
