Chapter 99
Chemical poisoning?
Ethan looked at the prominent chemical formula on the diagnosis report, as if remembering something, his eyes gradually narrowing. When Xanthea walked into the hospital room holding a box of apple turnovers. She saw Miranda, wrapped in bandages from head to toe, her face swollen like a roasted pig with scratched skin, and almost burst out laughing.
“Mirry,” she knocked and entered, “How are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?”
Miranda lying on the bed, struggled to tum towards the sound. When she saw Xanthea, she tried to speak, but her swollen tonsils made it impossible for her to even open her mouth
“What’s wrong? Can’t you even speak?”
Xanthea’s eyes welled up with sadness as she looked at Miranda. “No wonder when I passed by the doctor’s office just now, I heard him say something about systemic breakdown and organ failure, asking the family to be prepared. So, sis, your condition has become so serious already? What are we going to do?”
What?!
Hearing “organ failure, asking the family to be prepared,” Miranda’s pupils dilated in fear, and she trembled violently.
Seeing her face covered with rashes from fear, Xanthea raised an eyebrow slightly, “Oh, by the way. I’ve reported your condition to the company. Uncle’s been understanding and has canceled all your work for the next year to let you recover properly”
What?!
Who authorized her to speak? Who asked her to report that? it was just a minor allergy, she would recover soon, no need to halt her work! She was a star, who would remember her if she disappeared for a year?
Miranda’s eyes widened with extreme anger. Unable to speak, she slowly raised her hand.
But just as soon as she raised it, Xanthea pressed it back down sharply
Ouch!!!
The excruciating pain was like oil splashed on a scalding iron, yet she couldn’t scream, only tremble in agony.
Xanthea spoke soothingly. “Sis, you’re sick now. Don’t move around. Be a good girl and cover yourself with the blanket.”
“Also, since you missed the audition for Realm of Illusions as Vivian, the role has fallen into the hands of your old rival, April. She’s been taunting you on Twitter, but don’t worry, I’ve already fired back for you.
“But your fan club disbanded, lots of fans have switched sides. They say without looks, talent, or dedication, they might as well support April.”
“Ah.”
Before Xanthea could finish, Miranda used all her strength to open her mouth and let out a hoarse cry.
Xanthea stepped back and covered her nose with some disgust, “Sis, didn’t you brush your teeth this morning? I’ll go call the nurse for
you.”
Xantheal Xanthea!
You witch!
Taking advantage of my illness to deliberately provoke me!
Always pretending to be the kind, gentle sister, but now your true colors show, huh?
Miranda glared daggers at Xanthea’s retreating figure, her eyes burning with hatred, as if she wished she could scorch holes in her. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
She raised her hand to brush off the things Xanthea had brought, but then she noticed the box of apple turnovers on the table.
Apple turnovers?
Apple turnovers?!
Just yesterday, her accommodations and provisions were exactly like everyone else’s at home, except for these apple turnovers, it was brought to her by Xanthes through Maty!
