A buzz filled Lenora's mind, taking her a good while to comprehend what had just happened-she had encountered a thief.

A wave of pain surged from her lower abdomen, and for a moment, she didn't dare to move.

My child... My child cannot come to harm!

She lingered on the ground clutching her stomach for a long time, waiting for the pain to gradually fade. away. Only then did she manage to prop herself up, standing lost and bewildered on the spot.

Should I chase after him or call for help?

However, the thief had already vanished from sight.

Suddenly, she didn't know what to do. She took a few dazed steps forward, abruptly realizing that her phone was in her bag, together with her wallet. She was now penniless, and it seemed... as if she couldn't go home. Lengra stood rooted to the spot for quite some time before the thought of going to the police station even crossed her mind.

She stopped a passerby and asked, "Sir, do you happen to know the way to the nearest police station?"

"Goodness, it's quite a distance away. You need to follow this road, go straight past three intersections, keep going straight, and then turn... Well, just keep going forward for now. You can always ask for directions as you go along." "Oh, alright, thank you."

Following the directions, Lenora continued to walk for about half an hour. Finally, she saw the sign for the police station.

Lenora made a police report at the station and borrowed money from an officer for a taxi ride home, leaving behind her contact number with the police.

Upon returning home, she found Miranda busy cleaning. Seeing Lenora return alone, she asked, "Mrs. Fuller, what happened to you?"

Upon looking down, Lenora noticed a large stain marking her clothes, making them look dirty. There were also bruises and scrapes on her elbows and knees.

"I accidentally fell down. I'm going to change and take a bath," Lenora said softly.

She headed upstairs, swapped her clothes for something more comfortable, took a quick shower, and then. lay on her bed for a good night's sleep.

The following morning, she opened her eyes and slowly rose from the bed.

station, bank, and government service center to report the loss and apply for replacements for her ID card, bank card, and SIM card. She also bought a new phone and re-downloaded all the apps she used before, logging in with her newly issued phone number. However, all her records were gone.

Fortunately, she had a habit of backing up important documents on the cloud, so the loss wasn't as impactful.

She scrolled through her Instagram feed, making yet another new discovery.

In the morning. Yelena posted a message on her Instagram: Please, don't interrupt them.

The accompanying image was of Zachary, sitting vigilantly by Susanna's sickbed, his back to the viewer.

Nevertheless, Lenora's heart had grown numb, devoid of any emotions.

In the afternoon, Lenora glanced at her work schedule and informed Milly that she had decided to move up her business trip scheduled for the end of the month, planning to set off that very afternoon.

She calmly packed her belongings at home, instructing Milly to bring along her work materials and head straight for the airport.

After Zachary got inside the car, his mind was still filled with Lenora's words.

"Zachary, if you walk out that door today, we're finished.

He closed his eyes.

If it wasn't for me, Susanna wouldn't be in the state she is now I can't just ignore her now that she's in trouble.

If it was indeed as Charles had said, that Susanna had called him for help, he would be hard-pressed to deny his responsibility.

Once he had checked on Susanna and confirmed that she was alright, he would then explain things to

Lenora.

Zachary drove swiftly to the hospital. After inquiring at the front desk about Susanna's room, he hurried OVET.

Inside the ward, Yelena and Susanna's assistant were both keeping vigil.

"How is Susanna?" Zachary asked as he entered.

Yelena immediately rose from her seat. "Mr. Fuller, I'm relieved you're finally here. I tried calling you but your phone was off. Susanna is still unconscious. We were lucky thi

time that her face wasn't hurt. If it had been, it would have ruined her future. Mr. Fuller, you have no idea how critical the situation was...

heard she was burned in a fire. Is the burn area extensive?"

The doctor explained that twenty-three percent of her body surface was burnt, classifying it as a moderate burnt. When she was rescued, some parts of her body were so horribly charred that it was hard to distinguish flesh from wound. Susanna was in so much pain that she was unconscious and breaking out in cold sweat. It was so gruesome that I couldn't bear to look."

Chapter 86 A Burn Injury

Listening to Yelena's description, Zachary couldn't fathom just how much pain Susanna must have been in

at the time.

He took a seat beside Susanna's sickbed, gazing at her unconscious face, his brows furrowed with concern

"Moreover, the doctor expressed his greatest concern for Susanna's psychological state. She was startled before she fell unconscious and there is a chance that her condition would worsen. Ever since Susanna returned, she's been plagued with misfortunes. I can't help but wonder if someone has a grudge against

her."

"I'll replace the best doctor to treat her."

"Mr. Fuller, I wanted to ask, why was your phone turned off?"

Zachary looked up at her.

Yelena chuckled lightly. "Mr. Fuller, don't get me wrong. It's just that, not long after Susanna was trapped in the room, there were two missed calls on her phone. In her panic, she must have thought of nothing else but you coming to her rescue. If you had answered the call at that time and contacted the production crew, Susanna would have been promptly saved. This whole incident could have been avoided,

Zachary lowered his gaze, saying, "I was unable to answer the phone at that time. I hadn't anticipated that Something like this would happen to Susanna."

According to the informant, Zachary was having a candlelit dinner with Lenora at that time. Even then, Zachary would generally not refuse to answer Susanna's phone calls. Thus, the one who rejected the calls and turned off the phone must have been Lenora. Even at this point. Zachary takes it upon himself to protect Lenora. It looks like Susanna's worries are justified.

"It's truly a pity. Susanna had a chance to avoid this disaster."

Zachary changed the topic. "Did the doctor mention when Susanna would wake up?"

"I'm not sure, the doctor mentioned they needed to observe her condition. It could be tonight, or perhaps. tomorrow morning. Mr. Fuller, you should stay here with Susanna. Before she fell unconscious, she was calling your name. If she wakes up and sees you here, she won't be scared. Only you can give her strength, do you understand?"

Zachary frowned, remaining silent.

If he didn't return for a night, it would probably be even harder to explain the situation to Lenora.

Upon seeing Zachary's hesitation, Yelena sighed and continued to persuade him, "Susanna's journey has been incredibly tough. The doctor said that even with the best surgery, these extensive burns will inevitably leave scars. Mr. Fuller, you must understand the devastating impact this has on a girl, especially a female star. When she was first trapped in the room and the fire had not yet spread, she called. you. That was her only chance for survival. If she had called me or a crew member, she might not have been so severely injured. But you let her down. If she wakes up and doesn't see you, imagine how heartbroken she will be. Today is her birthday, yet she didn't dare to bother you. While she was resting on the film set, she was constantly checking her phone. She said that even if you didn't come to see her, just a simple 'happy birthday' message would have made her happy. Who could have imagined such a thing would happen on her birthday? Susanna is just too kind, it's heartbreaking!"

After a moment of silence, Zachary said, "I'm going to make a call."
