Chapter 238 Caught Shirlene’s Attention
“You’re welcome. Don’t hesitate to call me if you need anything. I’ll be waiting at the living room entrance.” Bethany turned and left. However, her attention remained on Melinda even as she walked away. She kept in mind Mervin’s instructions and attentively observed Melinda’s emotions.
Stanley, are you awake? Are you okay? Are you still alive? A voice resounded in Melinda’s heart and endlessly echoed these questions.
Her lips quivered, and a profound sadness consumed her. Not even the radiant sunlight could dispel it. She had even forgotten to check on the children in her thoughts about Stanley.
With Sherry and Gael looking after them, she felt a sense of relief.
In a luxurious VIP suite at a Navelie hospital, the spacious suite featured multiple rooms and living areas. Jennifer and Monica had their separate bedrooms, but they had yet to manage to get any sleep.
Monica sat attentively by Stanley’s bedside, watching over him.
The atmosphere around them was chillingly silent and suffocating in its stillness.
He was, once again, wearing the oxygen mask and remained unconscious, his breathing incredibly feeble. Continuous monitoring instruments kept a close watch on him.
Surrounded by blooming lilies in a seaside villa in Riverdale, Melinda sat on the terrace couch with her knees drawn close to her chest as she silently prayed for Stanley’s well-being.

Under the radiant sun, a gentle breeze caressed the air.
Throughout the day. Mervin and Shirlene—the male and female leads-were engrossed in various scenes for their project. They had been shooting intensively from morning till now, including a shot where they had an accidental encounter and shared a kiss.
During the midday break after lunch, she was captivated by his remarkably handsome appearance. Her gaze uncontrollably lingered on him.
Meanwhile, he stood under a coconut tree with one hand in his pocket as he made a phone call. “How is she doing?”novelxo.com fast update
Bethany reported, “Mr. Laurent, Ms. Paisley accepted the phone you gave her without any emotional fluctuations. She’s been sitting on the patio couch and gazing at the clouds without even taking a sip of
water.”
Mervin’s heart suddenly ached. “I see. I’ll come back earlier today.”
Not far away, Shirlene sat under a parasol. Under her exquisite makeup, her large eyes flickered as her gaze remained fixated on his figure.
Every gesture and movement he made effortlessly tugged at her heartstrings.
“Miss Grayson.” The assistant followed her gaze and could not help but agree, handing her an opened bottle of water. “Mervin is handsome.”
“Right?” Her lips curved into a smile. I simply adore his cold and aloof demeanor.”
During every filming in the past, the actors on set would be incredibly attentive to Shirlene, but she grew tired of their attention and could not be bothered to give them a second glance.
She took a sip of water, her eyes never leaving Mervin’s tall figure and captivating profile.
At this moment, he stood out among all the actors she had encountered like a breath of fresh air. He had entered the entertainment industry and gained immense popularity, amassing over a hundred million followers on Twitter.
His most lethal quality was the natural charm emanating from his rugged handsomeness. I’m sure many women would be attracted to him.
“Take a look at the script. There’s a kissing scene coming up,” the assistant reminded Shirlene. “It’s the first kissing scene in the entire drama.”
“I memorized the lines a week ago. Don’t worry. I’ll be fine,” she assured confidently, eagerly anticipating the scene.
“Is everyone ready?” After a brief pause, the director’s magnetic voice, Jarrett Porter, echoed through the set. “Corey Matthews and Aria Dudley, take your positions!”
Mervin briefly gave some instructions over the phone before hanging up. He approached Jarrett. “Mr. Porter, I have to leave right after we finish this scene, so I won’t be able to attend the dinner tonight. I apologize in advance.”
