Zayn looked up and frowned. 'Tina? This place was hundreds of miles from Kitmore City. What is she doing here?' Zayn thought about Tina's recent whereabouts. She seemed to be everywhere.
He pushed himself up with both hands. Just as he was about to get up, he heard a loud thud. Tina tripped. Her body fell straight forward, and her face hit a tree trunk that had collapsed. She let out an ear-deafening scream.
Zayn was speechless. He facepalmed as he thought, 'This novel writer won't be disfigured from the fall, will she?'
Zayn got up and was about to walk over to help Tina, but the latter reacted quickly and got up almost instantly. She pinched her bleeding nose with one hand and took off her glasses with the other.
She looked left and right and strode forward. Zayn walked to her side and was about to greet her when she shouted "Zayn!" and rushed past him.
She grabbed Jaden who had just arrived and asked nervously, "Are you alright? "I saw you in a wheelchair. Did you break your leg?"
Jaden was confused.
'Seriously?' Zayn was sort of teed off. He reached out a hand, clasped it on the top of Tina's head, and turned her head around. "I'm here."
Tina exclaimed and narrowed her eyes. After carefully sizing him up for more than ten seconds, she broke into an embarrassed smile. "Sorry, I broke my glasses and can't see clearly."
After saying that, she explained, "However, my short-sightedness is less than 700 degrees. It's not very high, I suppose. It's just that I'm used to wearing glasses and couldn't adjust in such a short time. Sorry for mistaking him for you.
"Cut to the chase. Why are you here?" Zayn asked.
"I saw it in the group chat last night that terrorists held the production team hostage here. I also saw you going to meet the terrorists alone. I'm very worried about you.
"So I ran to the station and took the high-speed train in the night to get to Gringger City. I rushed here to find you."
Jaden couldn't believe that Tina was so concerned about Zayn
Zayn didn't assume that Tina had feelings for him. "Why are you worried about me?" he asked.
Tina said matter-of-factly, "You're the male lead I've chosen for my work. What if something happens to you and you can't film anymore? Who's going to be the male lead of my story?"
'I knew it. Why would a girl suddenly appear and care so much about Zayn.' Jaden had a short moment of revelation.
Zayn said firmly, "Even if nothing happens to me, I won't be able to play the male lead of your novel. Besides, what can you do here?"
"I don't know what I can do here." Tina looked at him and said, "But what if someone pointed a gun at you and you didn't know? Maybe if I saw it, I could shout to remind you or distract the bad guy and make him miss his aim."
