Chapter 127 Taking Care Of Both Ends

Brendon helped Shannon sit down properly before saying firmly, "Don't worry about these things anymore. Focus on getting better!" Then he remembered Ranita's indifferent face and said softly again, "... Ranita is strong-willed; she won't be angry over such trivial matters."

"Really? That would be great! As long as Ranita isn't mad!" Relief washed over Shannon as she spoke cheerfully once more, "... It isn't easy for someone like Ranita living alone in Kurima so we should take good care of her together!"

"When I'm discharged from the hospital, Brendon, please take me to visit Ranita! I'll thank her in person then." As she finished speaking, Steve knocked on the door and entered.

Steve greeted Shannon politely and gestured for Brendon to step outside for a chat. "Ranita had an accident," Steve said, pushing his glasses up with his index finger. "Have you gone to see her?"

"I came from her house," Brendon explained, sensing a hint of sarcasm in Steve's tone. "Shannon accidentally fell into the lake and ended up in the hospital, so I came to check on her."

"Hmm..." Steve paused for a moment before saying, "You seem busy taking care of both ends."

Brendon caught onto the slight mockery in Steve's words and remained silent for a few seconds before responding. "It's alright. Shannon grew up following us around like a little sister we spoiled rotten. She can be stubborn at times but she has a good heart deep down inside. Three years ago, I promised my grandfather that I would send her away from here as she was causing trouble between us."

Steve smirked slightly at Brendon's words and said knowingly, "I understand if you want to make it up to Shannon."

"As a friend, I won't do much until your relationship with Ranita is resolved. But in the future, I hope you'll understand," Steve paused and continued, "I looked at the medical records. Although Shannon fell into the lake, she was promptly rescued and only ingested a little water. Hospitals can be crowded and noisy, so it's better to rest at home."

In a subtle way, Steve indicated that Shannon wasn't in a very serious condition. He left quickly.

Ranita slept until noon while Dylan bought some lean meat porridge from an upscale restaurant which tasted great. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

As they were chatting together happily about this or that topic, suddenly Dylan stood up from his seat, "Ranita... have you checked out what's trending?"

"Trending?"

"... On social media," Dylan went on explaining further, "Eve got injured while filming suspended scenes today! She just got back home after receiving treatment locally."

Upon hearing this news, Ranita immediately leaned forward towards him as various rumors were circulating online ranging from broken bones or disfigurement all over social media platforms without any reliable sources available yet.

In the end, Dylan managed to get in touch with Eve's assistant.

Eve did indeed have an accident, she fell while doing a zip line and lost consciousness. After receiving initial treatment at a local hospital, she was quickly transported back to Kurima and was currently at the Tranquil Valley Private Hospital.

When Ranita arrived there with Dylan, the main entrance had already been surrounded by paparazzi. However, the hospital had enough security personnel stationed outside so they didn't allow these people inside. The VIP ward located upstairs was reserved exclusively for public figures such as Eve, to avoid disruption caused by paparazzi or fans alike.

As soon as they stepped out of elevator, a turn later, Brendon could be seen standing tall talking with one nurse along corridor leading towards VIP ward area.

He was tall and handsome, with an outstanding presence that made him stand out wherever he went. The young nurse who had been talking to him blushed and left as Ranita pursed her lips, about to call out to him. Suddenly, she heard a sweet voice say "Brendon" from beside him.

The door of the hospital room next to them opened, revealing Shannon's figure as she happily hugged Brendon's arm and leaned into his embrace. She spoke in a sweet and affectionate tone, "Brendon... can we go home now? That's really great!"
