"Alright." Yelena knew then that she had convinced Zachary,
Zachary stepped out of the ward, a cool breeze brushing against his face.

He reached the staircase, took a slow, calming breath, and then pulled out his phone to dial Lenora's number.
I have to stay the night. When Susanna called me for help, her call was coldly rejected by Lenora. Could I really blame Lenora for this? I can't. Her intentions were simple. She just didn't want me to be with Susanna that night. She was unaware that Susanna was in trouble. Can I blame Susanna then? No, I can't either. Calling me in a moment of crisis was a testament to her trust in me. I only have myself to blame. My responsibility in this matter is undeniable.
Initially, Lenora didn't answer her phone, and when he tried calling again, the phone was switched off.
Zachary simply assumed that Lenora was mad at him, hence her reluctance to answer his calls.
After some thought, he composed a text message and sent it to Lenora:
Susajina is seriously injured. The call she made to me was a chy for help. No matter what, I can't shirk my responsibility. I would stay and take care of her tonight. Whatever it is can wait until / return home tomorrow. Jirst wait patiently for me at home. After sending the message, Zachary stood outside for a while before returning to the ward.
In the early morning, Zachary picked up his phone and glanced at it. He flipped to his chat with Lenora, but there was still no reply.
He walked into the hallway and dialed Lenora's number once again, only to replace her phone still switched off.
After much thought, Zachary decided to call Miranda. "Hello, Mr. Fuller, how can I assist you?" she answered.
"Miranda, could you please hand your phone to Mrs. Fuller? I have something to discuss with her."
"Alright." Miranda pondered over the situation, guessing that her employer must have upset his wife again, hence the latter was avoiding his calls.
After about two minutes, the maid relayed a message to Zachary with a sense of resignation. "Mr. Fuller, Mrs. Fuller has declined to answer."
Zachary fell silent for a moment, then murmured, "If she doesn't want to, then fine."
Before long, Susanna woke up.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Zachary by her bedside, a comforting smile gracing his face.
She extended her hand towards Zachary, and he rose to grasp it in return. "How do you feel?" he asked.
"It hurts a lot," Susanna said weakly.

"I'll call the doctor over," Yelena added immediately.

Susanna clutched Zachary's hand. "Zack, I was so scared. Why didn't you answer my call yesterday? I thought you didn't love me anymore. I was trapped in the room, and the flames rushed toward me. Not matter how much I screamed, it was useless. The fire burned, and it hurt so much. I thought I was going to die. If you don't love me anymore, I might as well be dead."
Zachary's eyes flickered slightly, but his heart remained largely emotionless. He simply reassured in a low voice, "Don't overthink it. I just didn't hear it."
"It's not your fault. As long as you're with me, that's all that matters. Zack, you'll always stay by my side, won't you?"
"Don't speak too much right now. Focus on resting and recovering. It's crucial for your wounds to heal."
"As long as you're with me, I'll surely heal well."
Soon, the doctor arrived to perform a check-up on Susanna.
Zachary stepped out of the sickroom out of propriety.
At ten in the morning, the production crew had already coordinated with Yelena to have someone visit.
The female lead got injured while filming, and this was no minor issue.
Moreover, the investor was Stardust Entertainment, and the injured party was Susanna. Hence, the production team was even more proactive in coordinating with Yelena.
Four individuals had come to visit-an assistant director, a producer, and two actors. The actors were Jonas, who played the role of Zander in the drama, and Victoria, who portrayed the female character, Yolanda.
Upon arriving at the hospital room, they saw Zachary. The assistant director was the first to Fuller."
The other three also chimed in, greeting. "Mr. Fuller."
"Didn't expect to see you here. Did you come to visit Ms. Carston?"
approach, "MA
"Mmm-hmm. I'm going to step out for a bit; you guys carry on. Just try not to take too much time." Zachary left the ward, leaving the space to them by taking a stroll outside.
A moment later, he estimated that the film crew should have left, so he turned around and headed back.
On the way back, after rounding a corner, he overheard the producer conversing with Jonas.
The producer asked, "Weren't you present at that time? It couldn't have been that serious, could it?"
Jonas was recalling the situation back then. "Everyone was quite anxious at that time, but luckily, the
rescue was timely, and the fire didn't get out of control I remember when she was just rescued, there were traces of burns only on the left leg of my pants. I didn't notice any burnt marks elsewhere, though it could also be that I overlooked it."
"It's unlikely that you're mistaken. I heard the same thing from someone else too. The clothes on her lett

leg were completely intact, so how serious could the injury be? These agents nowadays love to exaggerate things to the extreme. If Susanna's medical condition were to be leaked, her fans would tear the production team apart. She could then play the role of victim. We did warn her to be careful...
The producer believed that Susanma and Yelena exaggerated Susanna's injuries in order to gain publicity.
For instance, during the ranking wars, there were already fans complaining on the official account. They were saying that Susanna had been injured while filming and insisted that the production team compensate Susanna with more screen time. Thus, the film crew was left in a helpless position.
Cloudwater City was adapted from a fantasy novel, primarily told from the perspective of Zander, played by Jonas. ally, his screen time was slightly more than Susanna's. Under such circumstances, it was difficult to give Susanna more screentime. "Let's not dwell on that, Jonas said. "Regardless of the reasons, the fact remains that she was hurt, and it was due to the production team's negligence. Mr. Chance, on the other hand, is quite optimistic. All we can do is cooperate fully." "This is definitely going to set back the filming progress quite a bit."
"All these are trivial matters."
"I heard that Mr. Fuller even stayed here all night because of this. It seems like he's genuinely fallen for Ms.. Carston
"Indeed, he must treasure her after what happened.
The two of them didn't say anything further. Once the assistant director and Victoria arrived, the four of them left together.
Zachary watched their retreating figures, lost in deep thought.
The situation Jonas described was entirely different from what Yelena had told him.
Jonas commented that the rescue had been timely, but Yelena disagreed, stating that a serious error within the crew had caused a delay in the rescue.
Jonas and the producer all claimed that the injury on the left leg wasn't severe. However, Yelena insisted that Susanna had suffered burns over more than twenty percent of her body. The two versions were entirely inconsistent. Moreover, from the complaints of the producer, it seemed like Susanna's burn injury was somewhat related to her own actions.
Logic told him that he shouldn't have doubted Susanna so readily.
However, the image of Lenora's Instagram feed suddenly surfaced in his mind, causing his trust in Susanna to waver.
Zachary searched online for videos of the incident at the time. Most were quite brief and didn't offer much clarity. All he could see was fire and smoke, with people shouting for help to put out the fire.

After a moment of silence, Zachary gave Miles a call. "Miles, send the video of when Susanna got injured."
Miles responded immediately, "Alright, Mr. Fuller, I'll get on it right away."
After Zachary ended the call, he immediately dialed Charles' number.
"Hey, Zack, what's up?"
"Charles, I have something to ask you. I hope you'll answer honestly."
"Hey, I'm listening. I'll tell you everything I know. What do you want to ask?"
"Who was it that asked you to look for me yesterday?"
The first question had already caused Charles to fall silent.
"Who told you that Susanna was severely injured?"
Charles continued to remain silent.
With a casual smile, Zachary spoke in a steady and unhurried manner. "Charles, I know you and Susanna are close, but you still need to be clear about who your friends are."
