Chapter 256 Audrey Had an Accident
Catherine received a call from Kim during lunch break. Kim didn’t explain what was going on over the
phone. He just told Catherine to go to the hospital ASAP.
Without hesitation, Catherine hung up the phone and rode her motorcycle to the hospital, where Kim
had given her the location at the fastest speed possible.
Kim was waiting outside the corridor for Catherine while Joseph stood beside him with a chilling vibe.
Both of them heard the sound of footsteps approaching and turned their heads in unison.
When Kim saw Catherine, hope sprang into his eyes. He hurriedly rushed toward Catherine. Just as he
was about to reach Catherine, Joseph suddenly blocked his way.
Joseph stood expressionless in front of Catherine, blocking her from Kim and preventing Kim from
approaching her. Kim was about to throw a tantrum but held back because of Joseph’s intimidating and
icy aura. He quietly refrained from venting out his feelings.
He could only stay in place and watch Catherine from afar, saying anxiously, Oh, Catherine, you’ve
finally arrived. Your sister had an accident today and is currently in the hospital.”
Shortly afterward, he pointed at Joseph and expressed his dissatisfaction. ” This hulking guy won’t let
me go in to see her. I am your sister’s manager. Am I not allowed to go in?”
“I could understand it if Joseph were to block the journalists.
“However, I am Audrey’s manager.
Why is he even blocking me from visiting her?
“This is absolutely unacceptable!” said Kim inwardly. He did want to resist, but having been in the
industry for so many years, he immediately recognized that Joseph was not an ordinary guard.
“It is quite strange for such a master to suddenly appear on the set and risk his life to save Audrey.
“Based on the Swanns’ usual neglect of Audrey, it’s definitely not possible that someone from the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSwanns would have done it,” thought Kim.
When they had a conflict with the Blatons last time, Joseph was there too, instantly reminding Kim of
Catherine.
Therefore, he immediately contacted Catherine. From the current situation, it looked like Catherine
indeed arranged the person who was protecting Audrey.
“Wow, how long has this big guy been around us? We didn’t even notice him!”
“The real pro is on another level!” thought Kim. Catherine was not concerned with Kim’s authority issue
in the first place. She turned her head, and her cold gaze fell on Joseph with a hint of chilliness in her
clear eyes.
Seeing her glance, Joseph lowered his head instinctively. Beads of cold sweat formed on his back, and
his whole body froze. “Boss, it’s my fault for not protecting Miss Audrey Swann!”
Catherine did not care about these things. She only wanted to know how serious Audrey’s injuries were
and why she was injured.
She walked over to the nearby bench and sat down with her legs crossed. Her exquisite face was
expressionless and devoid of any warmth.
No one could fathom her thoughts at this moment. Seeing that she remained silent, Joseph could only
continue to report the situation.
“Boss, Miss Audrey Swann fell from a height of over 9 feet while filming due to a broken wire on the
set. Her arm is fractured, and she just finished surgery and has been admitted to the ward for rest!”
Catherine listened to Joseph’s report expressionlessly and took out her phone to check the time. “It is
currently 1 PM. I need to be informed of all the details regarding this incident before 3 PM this
afternoon,” ordered Catherine.
Two hours was sufficient to investigate the matter thoroughly. If Joseph couldn’t complete this task,
there would be no necessity whatsoever for him to stay by Catherine’s side to accept any assignments
she arranged.
Joseph also knew this was his last chance and dared not hesitate.
“Okay, I’m on my way!”
After saying that, he quickly turned around and disappeared down the hospital hallway. Catherine
walked into the hospital room. Since it was just a simple arm surgery, Audrey did not receive general
anesthesia but only local anesthesia. Audrey opened her tired eyes when they came in and looked
toward the two.
With a poker face, Catherine stood by while Kim burned with inner turmoil, Upon seeing Audrey, Kim
couldn’t help but express his sympathy, “Oh, poor Audrey, you must have had a rough time. Does your
arm still hurt?”
Audrey raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a slight smile. “I’m okay. The anesthesia hasn’t
completely worn off yet, so I don’t feel much pain.”
After briefly explaining the situation to Kim, Audrey focused on Catherine.
“Hey Kathy, did you put Joseph next to me?”
When the incident happened, she thought she was done for. Luckily, Joseph rushed out without
hesitation at that time. Although he couldn’t save her in time, he used his body as a shield to reduce
the harm to the minimum.
If it weren’t for Joseph, she would probably be dealing with more than just a broken arm right now.
Catherine didn’t deny it because she indeed arranged for Joseph. Seeing Catherine nod, Audrey was
delighted. While glad, she also worried a bit as she looked at Catherine.
“Kathy, isn’t it a hassle for your friends to protect me? Joseph looks pretty strong. He must be someone
extraordinary, right?”
Audrey was mainly worried that Catherine would owe Joseph a favor for her sake, which would make
her feel guilty, As Kim listened to Audrey’s theory, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
It was evident to those with discerning eyes that a clear hierarchical relationship existed between
Joseph and Catherine, with Joseph even referring to Catherine as his boss.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“How could it be a hassle for him?
“However, it appears that Catherine is not as simple as Audrey said. “Perhaps only Audrey herself
thinks that her younger sister Catherine has genuinely just returned from the countryside and is
completely ignorant.
“Analyzing this situation, any normal person could tell that she’s a big shot who’s not to be
underestimated, although they may not be able to guess her identity.
“If she’s an average person, how could she possibly have access to so many resources?” said Kim
inwardly. When Audrey made a suggestion, Catherine didn’t respond. She just stared at Audrey’s
wounded arm.
On her poker face, a pair of dark and shiny big eyes stared intensely at the pristine white gauze.
“Have they performed a surgery?” asked Catherine. Audrey’s arm had a little hairline fracture, so the
doctor did a minimally invasive surgery to speed up the healing of the wound. Audrey nodded. “Yeah,
but the wound is not big. It’s only about one inch.”
One inch was not a big wound in surgical operations.
But Kim panicked when he heard it.” Oh my god, such a big wound. Will it leave a scar? Did you tell the
doctor to use the best suture and make sure not to leave a scar?”
Joseph was in charge of everything once Audrey was brought to the hospital. Kim didn’t even have a
chance to get involved at all.
A one-inch wound might not be a big deal for average people, but it was a massive wound for an actor.
If it left a scar, it was going to be troublesome. For male actors, scars might be a badge of honor, but it
could be a fatal blow for actresses.
Actors had to be part of the fashion scene. If Catherine had a scar on her arm, it would inevitably affect
her future work. Kim’s passionate words affected Audrey, leaving her at a loss.
She looked at Catherine bewildered, not knowing what to do.
