The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 2010

Chapter 2010 The Hospital

When Cindy walked over, she saw that filming was going on as usual. However, she walked around the whole area without catching sight of Ian anywhere. That's odd. I don't see his driver either. Cindy strolled around the grounds for a long while without being able to find Ian. Right then, something clicked in Cindy's mind. She thought about someone.

Cindy immediately pulled her phone out to call Hannah. Hannah picked the call up before greeting Cindy in a gentle tone. "Hey, Cindy. How's it going?"

Cindy gave a brief response before she hesitantly brought up the question she had. "There's something I'd like to ask you, Hannah. Do you know if something happened to Ian? I phoned him yesterday, but he didn't pick up my call. I'm starting to get a little worried."

Hannah paused for a moment. Judging by her response, Cindy could tell that something must have happened to Ian and that Hannah was aware of it. "Did something happen to Ian, Hannah?" Cindy repeated herself anxiously. "Please don't hide this from me. I'm really flustered now."

Hannah sighed upon hearing Cindy's words. "I should have told you about this, but Aurora ordered me not to say anything." Cindy pressed her lips together as Hannah continued talking. "Something did happen to Ian, but it's not that big of a deal. He just needs to be monitored for a while more," she uttered.

Cindy went into panic mode instantly. "What happened, Hannah?"

"Ian injured himself while filming yesterday. I think his phone was damaged in the process. He's in the hospital now, but we've contained the news as it would have a negative influence on the production team if this got out. Perhaps Aurora didn't want us to tell you because she didn't want you to worry," Hannah offered.

Would I be less worried if they didn't tell me anything? I'm panicking even more right now! Cindy didn't want to explain all of that to Hannah, so she simply asked for the hospital Ian was at.

Since Hannah had already told her everything, there was no reason for Hannah to keep the hospital's location a secret. After Hannah gave Cindy the location, Cindy ended the call and hailed a cab to the hospital.

While she was on her way there, Cindy thought of all sorts of reasons for Aurora to hide this from her. I'm guessing that something serious must have happened for Aurora to keep this a secret. If it were a minor injury, there would be no need to hide it from me. It must be severe if she's hiding it. All sorts of negative outcomes circled in Cindy's head, and she practically ran into the hospital once she arrived.

Cindy knew Ian's ward number, so she stumbled her way over. Once she arrived at the room, she could see the insides through the glass window. In the room was a man dressed in a hospital gown. She couldn't tell where he had injured himself at first glance, but she saw Aurora sitting beside the bed and his driver standing around. Cindy couldn't hear what they were talking about. She heaved a sigh of relief as she pushed the door open.

All three of the people in the room were shocked by Cindy's sudden appearance. "What brings you here, Cindy?" Aurora stood up immediately.

Cindy sounded rather frustrated. "You guys all switched off your phones and refused to pick up my calls. Do you guys know how worried I was?"

Aurora blinked. "I texted you. I sent you a text."

Cindy immediately pulled her phone out to check her inbox, but it was completely empty. She held her phone up to Aurora. "What did you send me? I didn't get anything."

Aurora stared at Cindy's phone with a helpless look on her face. After a while, Aurora pulled her own phone out to show Cindy the messages she sent. It was true that she had sent a message, but for some reason, Cindy hadn't received it.

The message told Cindy that Ian's phone was damaged and that he wouldn't be home for a few days because he was busy with work, but there was no point in debating over the messages anymore, so Cindy kept her phone away and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.
