Nina's work on the crew was very heavy today, as well as difficult. After having acted in two scenes, her stomach was hurting more than she could bear. She asked Sylvie to get some painkillers for her. After taking the pills, she continued with her work.
All those years, she got used to the hardships in her life. She took all the pain and suffering by herself and never complained.
Because she knew she was not cared for or loved by anyone, and she had no one to depend on but herself.
In the evening, Cameron had arranged a romantic dinner on the top floor of his house just to surprise Nina.
Last night he was so devastated by her hurtful remarks that he almost jumped out of the building from the top floor, yet he just couldn't get angry with her because she displayed great initiative to find him and had such a pleasant time with him. He wanted to prepare something special for her just to make her happy.
"There is no overnight feud between a couple. This ancient wisdom cannot be more right, "he thought to himself.
However, it had been a while since the dinner was delivered, and Nina was still not back from work. Thinking that it might not be convenient to answer phone calls while at work, he sent her several messages but received no reply at all.
As it was getting late, Cameron finally picked up the phone and called her.
Strangely, it was not Nina but Sylvie who answered the call. He heard her voice from the other side of the line, "Mr. Dauster? Is that you?"
"Yes, it's me. Where is Nina?" Out of nowhere, he had this very unsettling feeling about Nina.
"Well, I am sorry but she is asleep now. Could you call back later?" Nina did not save his phone number, but Sylvie instantly deducted that it must be Cameron who was calling. So she asked tentatively, and she was right.
Cameron immediately answered back, "What do you mean by 'asleep'"?"
Sylvie wanted to tell him the truth but she hesitated. Thinking about it for a moment, she finally spilled the truth with a sigh, "I'm sorry but Nina is in hospital now."
"What happened?" Cameron's voice sank. He sounded so serious that it gave her chills.
She explained in a hurry, "Her stomach was not very comfortable the whole day. This afternoon when her work was almost done, she passed out. We sent her to the hospital and the doctor examined her and said it was acute gastritis and had her hospitalized. She was put on an IV and just fell asleep... "
"Give me the address, now!" Saying this, he took his jacket and rushed out of the house. The moment he heard about Nina passing out, his hand trembled because it hurt him too much. He prayed to take the sufferings for her.
"Mr. Dauster, please! Wait a minute!" Sylvie called out on the phone, "Please don't come here. Nina told me not to let you come to the hospital."
"She said there were too many people in the hospital and it's not good for some irrelevant people to see you..." Sylvie could not even hear herself, because she was really intimidated by this man, even when he said nothing at all at the other end of the phone.
Nina specifically asked her not to tell Cameron about her being hospitalized before she fell asleep. Even if he knew, he should never come to the hospital as nobody was supposed to see them together, not to mention being photographed.
Nina then complained about all these years of his absence and his carelessness about her. If he did not care about her then, why would he care about her now? Of course, Sylvie did not convey this message to Cameron because she really did not want to irritate this man.
Sylvie was just a messenger, so even though Cameron got really mad about this thing, he did not lose his temper. He just asked again, "What's the address?"
Sylvie immediately told him the address and the room number. As a matter of fact, Sylvie really supported Cameron and their relationship. She thought that at this moment, he should be at her side.
And even if she wanted to stop him, she could not, as he was so determined that even Nina herself would never stop this man.
