Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism
Chapter 490 Zelena Injured Again

Zoren replied: 'The mother wolf is at the vet. They say she's pregnant, but we don't know how many pups yet. It'll be a while before we replace out. The vet asked what you'll do with the pups after birth.' Violeta thought for a moment and replied: 'Release them back into the wild.'

In that manner, the wolf pack would fulfil its duty to propagate.

Zelena sustained an injury during the recording of the variety show. The news quickly trended online.

'#Zelena Seriously Injured During Variety Show Recording'

If the injury made it to the trending list, it must be serious.

Zelena's injury this time was also caused by falling off a horse, as fate would have it.

Her luck was worse this time.

While running, the horse threw Zelena off.

To be exact, Zelena failed to hold onto the reins. The horse's speed flung her off.

Despite wearing protective gear, the force of the fall severely strained her back, causing serious ligament damage.

The trending topic quickly turned into a siege on the variety show 'Friendly Strangers' by Zelena's fans.

'Friendly Strangers' was the new show Zelena had just started recording over the weekend.

Such a severe accident had already occurred.

Zelena's back had an old injury, and this new injury aggravated it, necessitating complete bed rest.

Moreover, this injury would likely cause permanent damage.

She would need at least six months of bed rest, unable to engage in strenuous activities.

The show 'Friendly Strangers' urgently released an official statement.

They promised to cover all of Zelena's subsequent medical expenses and assured that their safety measures were compliant.

But why did Zelena fall off the horse?

They also stated that they had asked Zelena beforehand if she could ride a horse.

Zelena had affirmed that she could, having learned on a movie set.

As a result, the production team allowed her to ride.

But accidents happen unexpectedly.

Zelena might have fallen off the horse for a variety of reasons, including improper handling or a startled horse. They promised further investigation.

The production team repeatedly stated that they would take full responsibility and not shirk it.

However, despite the statement, some fans remained unconvinced.

Fans attacked the production team-

'How could Zelena just fall off the horse? Are those items trash?'

'There must be something wrong with the show's safety measures. Zelena has never sustained injuries on previous shows. We must thoroughly investigate this new show.'

...

The production team had to bear the brunt of this incident.

Firstly, Zelena had previously fallen

off a horse while filming a drama resulting in a spinal injury. She had been impatient to return to the set, so her injury hadn't fully healed.

Secondly, the previous experience left Zelena mentally scarred regarding horses.

During the recording of 'Friendly Strangers, Zelena pushed herself too hard. When the horse started running, she failed to hold the reins tightly, resulting in a heavy fall.

This led to the tragic incident.

This was Zelena's second accident on horseback.

Although Zelena's personal reasons played a part, the production team couldn't escape the backlash.

After all, Zelena was a popular actress.

If not handled well, this incident would greatly impact the show's future.

When Hattie heard about Zelena's accident, her first reaction was joy.

Hattie and Zelena's teams were in fierce competition.

They were archenemies. Her troubled rival made Hattie very happy, almost ready to pop champagne in celebration.

Upon learning that Zelena would

need six months of bed rest, Hattie

eagerly instructed her team to

contact Zelena's upcoming

engagements and see if they could

take over some of them.

Since Zelena needed to rest, she wouldn't be able to fulfil many engagements. Hattie decided to seize this opportunity without hesitation.
