Chapter 85: Being Discharged

Chapter 85: Being discharged

Leopoldo, standing beside her, poured her a glass of water and gently lifted her up.

After finishing everything, Mariana finally recovered. She opened her mouth softly, but her voice was

still hoarse:

-Better. Thank you for bringing me to the hospital.

After thinking about it, she added:

-And for staying here to take care of me.

With a quick glance at the various papers on the table, Mariana understood.

Leopoldo turned and, with his icy and stern gaze reaching the other place, he frowned without saying

anything else. It was his mistake to put Mariana whose body was burning hot in ice water, which had

given her a high fever during the night.

-It was Andrea who did it last night.

In the midst of the quiet and peaceful atmosphere, a hoarse voice rang out abruptly and diffused to

both their ears.

Mariana's heart fluttered slightly. Nor did she expect him to suddenly... pour out his complaints to her.

She smiled bitterly and a thousand despairs rose in her eyes. She had not thought that one day she

would tell Leopoldo about Andrea's harassment of her.

Such a realization caused an inexplicable emotion to well up in his heart, like a warm and a cold

current, which intertwined and poured into his atrium, finally converging into an indescribable feeling.

Hearing what he said, the man raised his eyes, which were so dark that it was difficult to distinguish the

hidden emotions.

However, she was reluctant to take back what she had just said.

As if she could not bear the depth of his gaze, Mariana, stunned, lowered her eyes. The tears that had

just come almost from the bottom of her eyes disappeared in an instant and calmed down.

-I knew that.

At these words, Mariana abruptly raised her head to look at him in a dazed, slightly incredulous

bewilderment.

-Did you already know? Then...

But as we talked about it, she paused. I wanted to ask her what she was going to do.

But it was impossible for him to say it.

The two remained silent for some time, and finally it was Mariana who took the floor with difficulty:

-I feel much better. I still have a lot to do on the set, I... better be discharged.

With that, he tried to get off the bed.

The man standing next to her had his deep eyes fixed on the woman. His face looked a little somber.

-What are you doing?

The fall of the cold words in her ears made Mariana's movements involuntarily stop, but then she

returned to normal.

A husky voice with a hint of suppressed emotion came out of his mouth in a whisper:

-I want to go back to the set. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

For a moment, a quietness reigned in the room again.

After a moment, the indifferent gaze turned away from the woman before he said coolly:

-I'll take you back.

And so the conversation broke off on bad terms.

Mariana's eyes narrowed slightly as she watched the fading scenery outside. Her lips were slightly dry

and wrinkled from the fever, less delicate than usual.

The breeze outside the car window gently brushed the strands of hair on her cheeks, causing a

stinging sensation, something that even went to her heart and caused a slightly peculiar fluttering in her

mind.

The silence in the room seemed to last until the car. The man had thin lips pursed and eyes fixed

straight ahead, apparently unwilling to give any glance at the woman beside him.

Soon they arrived at the set. Mariana got out of the car and spoke in a daze after a hesitation:

-Thank you... for bringing me here.

So saying, she quickly walked away without waiting for Leopoldo to answer her.

Just as she opened the door, she saw Ana and, naturally, she saw her too.

-Mari, I heard that you have been sick, why didn't you stay longer in the hospital and come back so

soon? Your health is the essence of the battle! Without good health, how can you fight those people?

The words had taken on a slight tone of resentment at their end. Clearly, this incident had made Ana

even more furious with Andrea.

With a look of helplessness at the anger on Anita's face, Mariana couldn't help but shake her head and

gently reassured her:

-Enough is enough.

-How can it be enough? You don't know how treacherous last night was. I was so scared when I heard

our group say it.

Some doubt passed through her eyes as she leaned closer to Mariana and lowered her voice to a

whispered question:

-By the way! Mari, I haven't asked you yet, how did you leave the set yesterday? Why was Xavier still

here at the end and you disappeared?

Speaking of which, Anne glanced intently at the crew personnel around her going back and forth and

spoke mysteriously:

-Mari, when he came out of his living room last night, he hurt his face! The corners of his mouth were

injured, it looks like someone hit him in the face. Do you remember what happened last night?

He opened his eyes wide and Mariana's heart skipped a beat.

Had Leopoldo beaten Xavier?

There was the slightest hint of confusion shining in her eyes. She couldn't help but bite her lower lip

and was silent for a moment.

After a few moments, he suddenly stood up, he hastened to say before leaving:

-I have to go out for a while.

Mariana left Ana sitting in the same place with her eyes wide open in confusion.

She walked fast. As she passed by the crew, different gazes turned to her, causing her breath to almost

freeze, but her face to become even calmer.

-Is he really still here? After what happened yesterday, the director won't let us talk about it, he's

suffocating me!

-Yes, I really don't know why Mr. Bolaño is interested in her. It's horrible that someone like him would be

wasted on a woman like her.

-And don't you think it's also a disservice to his fans? How unexpected. Despite the scandals about him

everywhere, he's messing with the staff in private. It's true that people in the entertainment industry

have more ways to have fun.

The incessant noise of chatter filled Mariana's surroundings, which left her involuntarily quickening her

steps.

He gripped the phone tightly in his hand. His fingertips were slightly white from the effort and the veins

on the back of his hand showed on his pale skin, looking slightly fierce.

Passing around a corner, Mariana crossed a hallway at a brisk pace. When she stopped again, there

were not many people around.

On the door of the room to her left in front of her it said Rehearsal Room and only then did Mariana

realize it.

It turned out that, unbeknownst to him, he had arrived in Andrea's "living room". He couldn't help but

express a satirical smile.

This was the room that Andrea usually took over. Although it was a rehearsal room, inside almost all of

her things were placed and it had obviously become her other break room.

With a flash of cold rancor in her eyes, Mariana went to the side.

Standing in front of the window, he looked at the illuminated screen of his cell phone in his hand and

his slender fingers moved over it, finally stopping on the name "Xavier."

She knew Xavier had protected her in yesterday's incident.

And last night's discussion between him and Leopoldo left her unable to avoid feeling a little worried.

As she hesitated, sudden noises were heard in the rehearsal room behind her. Mariana stiffened in her

seat, holding her breath, not daring to move.

Then, a loud bang fell on his ears.

-Leo, what do you mean by that? Are you going to do this to me for that woman?

This high-pitched voice and the word "Leo" made her shudder.

A moment later, his feet seemed to be out of his control and moving toward the door of the rehearsal

room.

There was probably such a rush that the door was not properly closed, leaving a gap so that

discussions inside could be clearly heard.
