Chapter 303
If the video call had ended, Elio would’ve punched Roman,
With strong support from his Mom, Roman had become increasingly unscrupulous.
But it was because of Roman that he could occasionally see her in the video calls. Otherwise, he didn’t
know when he’d see her again.
Astrid had a long chat with Roman again. Elio saw Astrid yawn several times, so he gently tapped
Roman’s shoulder and whispered, “Your mom is tired, you should say goodnight.”
“Okay.” Roman obediently blew a big kiss at the screen. “Good night, Mom. Love you.”
Astrid laughed softly, “I love you too. Be obedient and listen to Dad.”
“Okay, Mom.” Roman ended the video call, turned around, and met Elio’s icy stare.
Scared of being punched, he immediately grabbed his phone and bolted upstairs.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElio was scrolling through Instagram and saw a selfie of Astrid and Gracie in the snow. His lips curled
up involuntarily.
They had only been apart for a few days, but it felt like he hadn’t seen her for a long time.
He was starting to miss her.
As the temperature dropped day by day, everyone in the crew suffered a lot.
One night, Astrid was about to go to bed when she heard a commotion outside, along with vague
screams and cries.
She quickly got dressed and saw a crowd gathered outside a room at the end of the corridor. The
crew’s medical staff were there too. Seeing everyone’s tense faces, Astrid didn’t hesitate. She hurried
over, grabbed Gracie, and asked in a low voice, “What’s going on? Who lives in this room?”
Q
Gracie replied, “Bernice! She fell ill suddenly not long after she arrived, and the doctors couldn’t figure
out what the disease was. The heavy snow blocked the roads, so the ambulance from town can’t get
here! She’s been in a lot of dramas I like. I hope she’s okay! Bernice was a popular actress in the
1990s. She hasn’t done any film in ages. Lots of TV and film makers couldn’t get her. I didn’t expect our
director managed to invite her!”
Bernice? Astrid’s expression darkened instantly.
The director had mentioned that a prestigious actress would guest star as the female lead’s mentor, but
she hadn’t expected it to be Bernice. Bernice was Hawthorne Cliff’s aunt, and they had met abroad
before.
Astrid took one look at Bernice’s purplish face and said coldly, “Everybody, step back. Open the
windows in the corridor and the room to keep the air circulating.”
‘Gracie, go get my medical kit from my room. Hurry!”
“Okay!” Gracie didn’t hesitate and ran off immediately.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDr. Eaton from the medical team saw this scene and immediately stopped her. “What are you going to
do? Nobody can touch her now!”
Astrid retorted coldly, “Dr. Eaton, Bernice is in a very dangerous state right now. Since you can’t save
her, you shouldn’t prevent others from trying. Are you going to just let her die here?”
Dr. Eaton said, “You have no idea about this. How can you save her? Saving lives isn’t just about
talking. I’m a professional doctor from a hospital. I can’t even save her. What can you do?”
“Dr. Eaton, be quiet. Let her try.” Director Gaines stepped forward, gesturing everyone to step back.
Then he looked at Astrid and asked, “Astrid, are you sure that you can save her?”
”
Astrid replied, “I need to examine her in detail to be sure. But Gaines, rest assured, I will do my utmost
to save her.”
