Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Background Manipulator
Eddie cried for a long time. The crying completely vented the suffocation of her heart, letting her slowly have a relaxed feeling from the inside out. Stuart had been gently touching her long hair. He gently calmed her emotions without a trace of impatience.
It was a while before Eddie finally stopped crying, and then she leaned into his arms. When Stuart saw that she was finally no longer crying, he felt relieved. As he was holding her, he could feel her bones, and she was too thin. He was worried and blamed himself, "Why are you so thin? Don’t you know how to eat when I am not around?" ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Eddie could hear the dissatisfaction in his voice and said, "I didn’t know if you are alive or not. I was never in the mood to eat!" Stuart couldn’t help, but hold her tighter and admit to his mistake, "Yes, it’s all my fault, I am responsible for you losing weight, and I will help you gain the weight back."
It felt good to be able finally to be honest with him. From now on, there was nothing that could separate them. From all the crying, she was exhausted both mentally and physically. She rubbed her eyes sleepily and said, "Stuart, I am really tired."
It was strange that his arms felt like magic, which made her feel particularly comfortable and easy to fall asleep in. Stuart looked at her with love in his eyes, "Let’s sleep for a while, huh?" He reached out and picked her up cautiously as if he was holding a rare treasure.
Stuart walked out of the bathroom and put her on the hospital bed. Then he carefully covered her up with the quilt and then dropped a gentle kiss on her forehead.
"Hey, you still have many injuries on your body. I want you to get lots of rest and don’t worry about anything."
Eddie nodded obediently. The experience from the past few days had really made Eddie exhausted. When she laid down, immense tiredness came over her. She closed her eyes and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Stuart sat down, quietly staring at her. Then he turned around and walked out of the ward — some things needed to be dealt with. Mr. Bates was outside the door guarding Eddie’s room. As soon as he saw Stuart came out, he quickly came forward and bowed his head, "Sir Yates."
In the face of Mr. Bates, Stuart returned to his cold and frosty look and asked, "Do you have the results." Mr. Bates knew that Stuart wanted to know the result of the investigation of the fire and replied, "Sir Yates, we have already caught the people who set the fire last night.
There are a few gangsters in the city. They first threw a rag that they had lit into the room. Then after the curtains were burned, the fire was expanded by throwing bottles of alcohol." Mr. Bates was very clear because he knew how much Eddie meant to Stuart. This matter involved the safety of Eddie, and it was too severe. The issue was so serious that the old man dared not to do it badly.
"Who is the backstage manipulator," The voice of Stuart was as cold as ice. .After he thought for a moment, he knew these people committed the crime, but they were not the actual ones who wanted to hurt Eddie. That was what he needed to find out, who was the person who tried to hurt her? He would stop at no ends to find out.
Mr. Bates knew that Stuart would ask the manipulator, but it seemed that he could not say it out loud. He hesitated for a moment, stepped forward, and whispered a few words to Stuart. Stuart showed more coldness in his eyes, just like a blade of ice. The people Stuart wanted to find were in the cast of the play.
Sophia had finally done it. She was worried and restless last night. She didn’t sleep well at all, and when she woke up, she had two black circles under her eyes. They told her that once they succeeded, they would immediately notify her. But she did not receive any news until dawn.
As soon as she got out of bed, Sophia dialed her phone and wanted to ask about the situation last night. The phone rang for a long time, and no one answered. For some reason, she had a bad feeling that something had gone wrong.
She was feeling uneasy. She started pacing back and forth and then became annoyed and sat on the sofa. There was a sudden knock on the door. Sophia felt guilty and scared. She started trembling and asked, "Who is it?"
"Sophia, I am here to pick you up and take you to the set, you have a scene this morning." It was her assistant. Sophia put her mind at ease and went to the door to open it. Her assistant saw Sophia’s facial expression and asked with a surprised look on her face, "Sophia, did you not get much sleep last night? You have black circles under your eyes."
"Be quiet!" She looked sternly at her, and an expression of anger suddenly came over her. Her assistant immediately stopped talking. Sophia packed up and went to the car with her assistant. The atmosphere in the car was so quiet that it made her assistant feel uncomfortable, and suddenly Sophia asked, "What happened last night?"
Her assistant had no idea what Sophia was referring to and shook her head, "I don’t know." The driver spoke out, "You don’t know? Something terrible happened last night!" Sophia was an actress and was able to hide her feelings well, but inside she was trembling with fear.
"What happened?" Sophia forced calmness in her voice as the thought of what she did flash through her mind. The driver said mysteriously, "The room that Eddie was staying in caught fire in the middle of the night. I heard that the fire was huge, and the whole room was burned!"
Finally, she heard the news she wanted to hear. Sophia was shocked and sat up suddenly. They actually did it? Neither the driver or her assistant noticed the expression on her face. She pretended to act shocked and asked, "God, how could a fire happen so suddenly? Why did it burn so badly!"
"Who knows, maybe someone had a cigarette and forgot to put it out?"
Sophia’s voice trembled and asked, "What about Eddie? Is she okay?" The driver looked at her and thought that she was frightened and grinned, "Although I don’t know the specific details, I heard that Eddie was sent to the hospital, don’t worry. I am sure she is okay." Sent to the hospital. Sophia’s eyes flashed with excitement.
She has tried to hurt Eddie several times, and she may have escaped the first time, but not this time. There is a possibility that her appearance may now be disfigured, which is what she had hoped.
Sophia’s heart was beating fast. She had an impulse to go to the hospital to find out the details of last night.
The car soon arrived at the shooting spot, and Sophia got out of the vehicle in a chaotic mood. However, before she even had a chance to get to the studio, she met Mrs. Martha. She saw Sophia and asked surprisingly, "Sophia, no one informed you?" Sophia wondered, "Informed me? About what?"
"We stopped filming for today, and I am not sure when it will start again."
"Why?" asking as if she didn’t know.
Mrs. Martha stood in front of Sophia and lowered her voice, "There was a big event last night. Eddie’s room caught on fire, and when the news was received in the morning, the director and the producer quickly rushed to the hospital to visit her. I have been told that we have to stop working for most of the day."
