Chapter 21 Do You Like Me?
Suzy was transferred from the hospital in Cone Town to Somo City. She had been unconscious for a day and a night.
At that moment, in the dean’s office on the top floor, a young man took off his coat and said to Evan, sitting on the sofa, “I just changed the dressing for her. Fortunately, her ribs weren’t hurt. She will wake up about tomorrow.”
Evan nodded and said nothing.
Ervin Chaplin sat next to him and started gossiping. “That Suzy, is she the one who cured your insomnia?”
Ervin and Evan had known each other since they were young. He knew everything about Evan and cared for many psychiatrists to treat him, but it never worked. Ervin always felt that Evan would die of exhaustion sooner or later. He didn’t expect Evan to fall asleep with Suzy in his arms one day. It was amazing.
“Yes,” Evan replied calmly.
To be precise, Suzy had not been cured. She had been in a coma day and night, and Evan hadn’t slept for a whole day and night.
Hearing this, Ervin said with great interest, “Did Suzy fall in love with you? You’d be lying on the hospital bed if it weren’t for her.”
Evan’s handsome face looked very tired. Hearing that, he frowned slightly. “She had ever asked me for help just for my money.”Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“For money? She doesn’t care about her life! She would be in heaven now if this gun were shot in the heart.”
Hearing this, Evan fell into silence.
Right then, the office door was opened, and Thomas, who’d just finished making a call, walked in.
“Evan, I found out that the assaulters are members of the Raven Group. Your schedule was disclosed by Annie Weber this time.”
Evan’s schedule had been arranged a month ago, and Annie was the assistant who had drugged Evan.
The Raven Group had offended Evan before, and the gang had been destroyed directly. The boss of the Raven Group hated Evan, but he couldn’t find a chance to make a move. After Annie left the Hughes Group, although Evan didn’t announce to the public that she had been banned, everyone thought that Annie, as an assistant who had worked for five years, had offended the Hughes Group. Therefore, no company dared to take her. Annie developed hatred because of her extreme love for Evan…
Evan seemed to have guessed who was behind this, so he wasn’t too surprised. Instead, he asked, “Does this have anything to do with Suzy?”
When he spoke these words, both Thomas and Ervin were shocked.
“How could it be related to my goddess? Evan, she saved you, yet you’re suspecting her now? I’ve already investigated it, and it has nothing to do with Suzy!” Thomas spoke hastily.
Evan frowned. He had always been thoughtful. Suzy’s previous actions made him feel that she seemed to have known that something would happen. It seemed he had thought too much, which was just a coincidence.
“Got it. Don’t forget to deal with those people,” Evan said.
After that, Evan left the office and went downstairs to the VIP ward.
Looking at the unconscious Suzy lying on the hospital bed, Evan suddenly remembered what Ervin had said: Did Suzy like him?
…
When Suzy woke up again, it was the next day’s afternoon.
She was confused when she opened her eyes: Who was she? Where was she?
Suzy wanted to stand up, but an intense pain came from her back…
She gasped.
“Miss Carters, luckily, you wake up!” Nina, who was dozing on the sofa, hurried over.
Suzy was already awake. When she saw Nina, she instantly heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Fortunately, she wasn’t dead or reborn. Otherwise, all her hard work would have been in vain during this period.
Nina helped Suzy lean against the headboard and poured her a glass of water.
Suzy looked at Nina with a slight frown, “Why are you here?”
“Mr. Hughes called me over. Miss Carters, I didn’t expect you and Mr. Hughes to be friends! Amazing!” Nina looked at her with admiration.
What the hell, friends, were we? Suzy complained in her heart, then asked, “How long was I in a coma?”
“It’s been two days, but Miss Carters, don’t worry. Everything goes well in our company. Diana’s new drama has started, and Flora has signed with that project. But only Victor… his initial performance evaluation was only at Grade C.”
Hearing this, Suzy slightly frowned. How could Victor’s performance only be Grade C? She knew the competition rules. It meant that in the next stage performance, Victor would be directly eliminated if he was still in Grade C.
“When Victor performed, there was a section of the guitar played by him incorrectly. However, that was only in a short section. For other competitors who also made a mistake, they had still been able to obtain a Grade B. It felt as if Victor was deliberately targeted.”
This time, Suzy understood that it was Levy’s tricks on purpose. As the program instructor, Levy probably knew that Victor was Suzy’s company’s artist, so Levy had targeted Victor.
On the other hand, how could Victor make a mistake?
Nina continued, “But, Miss Carters, the first episode of The Shining Youth is a live broadcast. Victor’s appearance has already become popular online.”
Hearing this, Suzy laughed in her heart. Nina went to buy Suzy something to eat, and the ward fell silent again.
After a while, the door opened again, and a doctor came with two young nurses to check the room.
“Miss Carters is awake?” Ervin asked. “Do you feel uncomfortable?”
A bitter expression appeared on Suzy’s face. “It hurts. My whole body hurts.”
“It’s normal. There’s nothing serious with your wound. You can leave the hospital after two days of an anti-inflammatory injection.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Suzy didn’t know Ervin’s identity either. She only felt that this fellow was looking at her with a strange gaze. She couldn’t tell what was strange, but she didn’t think much about it.
After dinner, Suzy sent Nina away. She stayed in the ward alone, feeling bored and unhappy. No matter what, she had taken the bullet for Evan, but Evan didn’t even spare her a glance. How heartless he was!
In the evening, Suzy had no appetite. After having two mouthfuls of porridge, she lay on the bed and picked up her mobile phone to watch TV.
At about nine o’clock in the evening, the ward door was opened.
Suzy thought it was Nina that had come to see her. She raised her eyes and saw the man in a black suit, and her face instantly froze before becoming slightly pleasantly surprised.
“Here you come?”
Evan walked over, sat on the sofa, and asked, “Are you feeling better?”
Suzy said, “Not good. It hurts everywhere. I can’t eat anything.”
As she spoke, Suzy still had a look of grievance on her face. However, what she said was the truth. Suzy had been afraid of pain since a child. At that moment, she felt that her entire body was in pain.
“You knew it was painful, but you still rushed forward to block the shot for me?”
“I…”
Before Suzy could explain, Evan stared at her with deep eyes and continued, “Suzy, do you like me?”
Hearing this, Suzy sat up straight in shock. This movement caused her wound to hurt even more. She glared at Evan. “What nonsense are you spouting?”
At this moment, Suzy’s reaction seemed to have exposed her thoughts, which made her even angrier and angrier. Evan stared at her, and his frown deepened!
