Chapter 514 Fall to Your Death

Author: Fiona Sykes
When Rebecca regained consciousness, her vision remained blurry, as if something heavy was pressing on her eyelids, preventing her from opening her eyes. However, her consciousness slowly came back to her, allowing her to hear what was happening around her.

It sounded like Randy. "A fever caused by food poisoning. We'll start with some IV drips. Once the fever subsides, she should be fine. The key is to get plenty of rest and avoid spicy foods."

"When will she recover?" David's voice followed.

Although Rebecca was unable to open her eyes, she still cursed herself upon hearing this. Nobody could control when a patient recovered. David was giving the doctor a hard time.

Randy maintained a calm tone. He was probably preparing medication since there was the sound of glass clinking. "In about a week. It depends on Ms. Johnson's physical condition. Her health isn't the best, so she may need a longer recovery period."

David grunted and said nothing more.

Coincidentally, his phone rang.

    David spoke so sarcastically that Rebecca's eyes widened with rage. "It's only a fever, not a broken limb!"David was shocked that she still had the strength to snap at him. He cocked a brow and asked, "What difference does it make with your current condition?"Rebecca fell into a brief silence and pouted. "Either way, I can handle it. You don't have to get someone to help.""Okay." David took a step back. Instead, a slight grin curved on his handsome face. "How about this? We'll compromise. I'll have the restaurant send some soup up here, and you'll eat however much you can before washing up. Sound good?"Rebecca frowned while shooting David a sideways stare. He seemed genuine, which she did not expect. She assumed that he'd react with ridicule or contempt. Rebecca then tried to sit upright, as it was uncomfortable to lie down. She had only twitched before David approached to help her up. He even added two pillows behind her lower back for support."So, have you thought about w

    David gazed down at Rebecca's smile and froze. He forgot how it irritated him to hear her say that. Rebecca had already picked up the sandwich and eaten her meal when David snapped out of his daze.Because of that, he couldn't be bothered to snap at her again. He retracted his intense stare and said, "Call me if you need anything."His gaze had already shifted away from Rebecca when he said that. He also sounded more hoarse, probably because he had lowered his head to focus on setting the sandwiches on the table.After that, David picked up his phone and laptop from the table to leave. He moved so fast that it almost seemed like he was fleeing from her.He vanished when Rebecca raised her head to watch him leave. She only saw the master bedroom door swing closed moments after he left.Rebecca blinked in confusion but only glanced at the door once more before refocusing on her meal.…The hotel manager had brought a change of clothes outside the master bedroom. David immediat

    "Okay, okay. I'll stop." The young man with blue eyes raised his hands in defeat. Even his tone became more serious. "But David, you've changed a lot since you returned to your country. I can't help feeling like you're different from before. Don't tell me you're actually … in love, are you?""Is that any of your business?" David didn't answer the man's question. Instead, he walked over and sat on the couch. He leaned his phone against something while he grabbed his laptop to work."I was only curious." The man widened his eyes innocently. After all, he found it shocking that his childhood friend had changed so much for a woman. Of course, he remembered why he had video-called David. "Oh, right. I've sent you the information you wanted. Remember to flip through it. You'll need to deal with things back here in Seardale. You can't forget everything else now that you have a beautiful woman with you.""I don't need you to remind me of that." David didn't look at the young man while he

    Now that the thought had formed in David's mind, it crept inside his head and multiplied like vines.David couldn't help recalling the scene when Rebecca had just woken up after a severe injury on the boat. She was like a newborn hatchling searching frantically for its mother. Rebecca wholeheartedly trusted anyone nice enough to her.David found himself missing that newly awakened Rebecca.He once heard of a surgical procedure abroad called a frontal lobe resection. It could wipe out one's memory for good, but the patient could also turn out brain-dead. They'd not only lose their memories, but they'd also be unable to process emotions.David tried visualizing that scene. It seemed meaningless if he ended up with a hollow human that only looked like Rebecca. So, he ditched that idea and decided to put up with how things were for now.Yet, he thought about what the Johnson brothers said. David often had to think of ways to cheer Rebecca up and make her forget about her so-called fam

    David froze on the spot. He never imagined Rebecca to say that. He stayed on his knees with his back straight. Only a frosty but unreadable expression remained on his face.Rebecca raised her hand and boldly petted his head. A smile curved on her pretty face. "See? You can't even answer the question, so how can I answer you?""Then, what if I said …" David's voice was hoarse as he held her hand and stared deeply into her eyes. "What if I said I wouldn't lie to you anymore?"He held her hand while he pleaded. "Becca, please forget about what happened these past two days."David wanted her to forget everything and pretend like nothing had happened. He wanted to return to how things were during their month's stay in the small town. He longed to live a bland yet comfortable life forever with Rebecca.Alas, things had already happened. How could Rebecca forget everything without experiencing another accident or heavy blow that could wipe her memory?Rebecca looked at his face while sa

    David only found out Rebecca had a high fever the next day.He allowed the hotel employee, who delivered breakfast, inside before heading to the master bedroom. There was no response after he knocked several times. David gave it some thought before frowning and opening the door.Darkness filled the room. Unlike the smell of medication from last night, a faint fragrance lingered in the air. David approached the bedside. He saw the glass of water he had left on the bedside table. It was half empty. He then looked at the woman on the bed, who didn't seem affected by him coming in. Her eyes were shut tight as she slept peacefully. David's face no longer tensed when he saw that she was safe. He pursed his lips and murmured, "Becca?" As usual, the unconscious Rebecca didn't respond.David felt helpless at that moment. Although he agreed that she should rest, he felt like a lot of time had passed from last night until now. She should've at least eaten something before resuming her re

    After Randy left the master bedroom, David dared not waste any time. He began packing things at once, like simple changes of clothes and toiletries. Naturally, it wasn't his job to bring those items to the hospital. He only packed the bag and put it aside. David would ask the hotel employees to deliver it to the hospital later. His only responsibility was to look after Rebecca. After packing everything, he wrapped her in a thin blanket before carrying her out the door.Many people came to the hospital early in the morning. They were there to deliver lunch boxes and meals to their families, so the wait for the elevator was long.David didn't have to squeeze into an elevator with everyone. He had subordinates in Fairport. Plus, this was a private hospital that valued moneyed patrons first. So, the hospital had prepared a private VIP ward for Rebecca when they were on their way here.As for Randy, who joined them, he had to endure a lot. Not only did he have to go with the two, but

    "So, Dr. Collins, you're saying that Becca's fever, including its sudden spike, is a random occurrence. And that the medications happen to be ineffective for her." David leaned against the chair. Although his eyes bore into Randy lazily, it only made Randy's chest tighten with anxiety.Randy almost admitted the truth when he met David's gaze. Fortunately, he pulled himself together before that happened. Then again, perhaps spending the month with David made Randy realize that David had a gentler side. Even if David only pretended to be kinder, it was enough to make Randy feel more at ease with lying to David.So, Randy tried hard to suppress his emotions. Even his voice sounded gravelly. "I-Indeed, nothing else is wrong with her.""If that's the case, why are you so nervous?" David questioned while his fiery gaze burned holes into Randy.Randy lowered his head and dared not meet the former's eyes. "Your presence tends to make others nervous, Mr. Winston.

    Penny didn't have much free time over the past three years.As she had envisioned, during the first year, she honed her acting skills amidst criticism while also working as a translator.Later on, she felt that acting didn't hold much appeal anymore. Moreover, realizing that there weren't any roles left for her, she gradually gave up and moved toward working behind the scenes.She had some work during this period.It seemed that a daring reality show, not caring about potential risks, decided to capitalize on her controversial popularity and invited her to participate in one of their programs.The reason Penny agreed to participate was because the show's first season had a good reputation, and the payment offered was reasonable.Continuously doing translations could be quite tiring. After discussing with Cecilia and weighing the pros and cons, she eventually signed up for this TV show.Unfortunately, she had underestimated the darker side of human nature.The show's production

    "Really?" Zane blurted out, staring incredulously at Sam, who nodded calmly. His unruly and carefree demeanor was restrained, and his composed attitude showed that he wasn't joking.Zane fell silent again, furrowing his brow as he intently observed Sam.It was as if he thought everything through in an instant, giving up without hesitation. He didn't even remind Zane of the request from years ago to take care of Penny. Instead, he said this would be the last time he would help out.Logically speaking, this should be a satisfactory outcome for Zane. After all, from any perspective, the Lowe family's scion would only be a burden to Sam.Looking again at Sam's attitude, it seemed he didn't want Penny to know he was the one quietly spending money to handle things behind the scenes.Since there was no plan to meet her, he didn't need to worry about anything after that. If that was the case, it would be better to just end it early.That way, if Sam saw Penny falling in love, getting mar

    All those old scoundrels from the Lowe family undoubtedly ranked the highest. Then there was Jessica, the entertainment industry's national goddess, who also played a significant role.Besides them, there were a few minor celebrities who didn't really make the cut.However, as Sam's partner and someone who watched him grow up, Zane privately hoped Sam could find a better girl.So, he advised, "There are plenty of socialites in Riverwood, and Amdale has no shortage of beautiful young ladies, either, and Rookfort isn't much different."You and the Lowe family's daughter haven't even officially met…""Who said I haven't met her?" Sam interrupted him without a second thought.He had even seen her twice. How could Zane say they hadn't even met yet?The first time, she gave him all the money she had. The second time, he spoke up to help her get that role.After these interactions, they could be considered acquaintances.Zane choked up and couldn't find the words to refute.He was s

    Because Penny declined his offer, Zane didn't insist. After a bit of small talk, he ended the call.He politely mentioned that if she needed any help, she could call this number again. If he could assist in any way, he certainly would.However, Zanw knew very well that, given Penny's temperament, she would rather give up what she had than actively seek help from a stranger.Yes, to Penny, Zane was just a stranger. He was a person she had met once but didn't really know.This time, Penny didn't respond as coldly as she did when she was 18. Instead, she exchanged a couple of polite pleasantries, mentioned that she would reach out if needed, and then hung up the phone.After that, she let out a long sigh of relief and lay on the lounge chair on the balcony, gazing at the view outside the window.There were fluffy white clouds in the azure sky and the greenery visible in the neighborhood. Sparrows were chirping persistently as they darted through the forest, and the cicadas loudly bu

    Although the other person said only one word, Penny could still tell he didn't have any ill intentions.Because of that faint sense of familiarity, Penny didn't hang up the phone immediately. "Hello? May I ask what this is about?"The unfamiliar and distant tone probably made the man on the other end of the phone pause for a moment. It was only after a brief silence that he responded."Young lady, don't you remember me? It's Zane Moran."His voice carried a laugh, with a hint of teasing.Only then did Penny remember who he was, but she wasn't happy at all.Zane meant no harm when that incident happened back then. But despite that, over the years that had passed, he became one of the people and things Penny would rather not recall.Whether it was the exam she missed, the incident where Spencer took her to the hotel against her will, or Zane, who gave her 30 dollars for a taxi ride.She just wanted to hide all of them deep in her memories.The recent events had particularly made

    "I'm fine. You all don't have to look so worried. You're making it seem as if something bad is going to happen to me."Penny looked at the two people at the door who were showing a range of expressions, feeling speechless.Cecilia was provoked by her words, and her eyes turned red."We're worried about you. You have no idea what you look like right now. You're almost like one of those disheartened protagonists in novels who hated the world."Penny clicked her tongue twice and said, "Aren't you exaggerating?"She didn't believe it. She was just worried about money. It wasn't like she had become disillusioned with life.Besides, she didn't dislike this world at all. On the contrary, she really liked it.Whenever Penny came across posts online suggesting that all humans should just die, she always felt like rolling her eyes. If they wanted to die, they shouldn't drag others with them.When searching for her own role in movies, TV dramas, and novels, Penny particularly preferred re

    Penny's way of clarifying things was to simply tell the truth.Sometimes, trying to cover things up would just lead to needing 100 more lies to continue the cover-up. That would often end up making things worse and more ridiculous.It was better to tell the truth about the situation.To answer the question of why she lashed out at the Lowe family, she briefly explained her experiences over the years.Why didn't she attend the final paper of the college entrance examinations? She personally reopened that old wound.As for that man in the hotel, Penny didn't have much of an impression of him anymore. She only remembered not taking his business card and accepting 30 dollars from him.Why did she show up at that man's hotel room? She wrote it down truthfully—it was her father who personally took her and left her at the hotel, wanting to trade her like a commodity.Every single word was carefully considered and written by Penny.She didn't share much of these things with Cecilia.

    Once the official statements were released, Penny's career being ruined became a certainty.The only surprising thing was probably that after the film crew issued their statement, the largest investor also requested to withdraw.The film crew was completely shocked, but there was nothing they could do. The scion was willing to lose money just to withdraw his investment, so what could they do?The amount of money in the compensation was nothing compared to the amount that the scion planned to invest. The production team would incur a significant loss.With one less investor, the project's status was essentially downgraded. They had much less room to manipulate their gains now, too.One would understand why the scion was doing this if they used their brain a little.However, the protests from the audience couldn't be ignored, and compared to the investors, it was clearly more important to keep the show going.After all, they could always attract more sponsors, even if the amount o

    In addition to the widespread backlash caused by the phone recording, Penny's academic credentials were also scrutinized and exposed.Before the college entrance exam, she had always been the top student in her school and had never ranked anything else.However, in the college entrance exam, she barely passed the minimum mark for key institutions, far below her usual performance.Some people speculated that she had been cheating during regular exams and that her actual abilities were much worse.However, the exam results could be checked online, and the fact that Penny scored zero on the last exam was surprising.It was even more shocking that she was admitted to a top-tier university despite missing an exam. It was truly exceptional.But few people paid attention to this information.After all, the achievements attained through hard work couldn't be faked. Even if the results weren't as expected, it was undeniable that she was stronger than many others.Regarding this topic, t
