Chapter 283

Kimberly said, tears streaming down her face. That fragile and pitiful appearance seemed genuine. Reynaldo hurriedly comforted her, “Don’t say that; you don’t want to get sick either.”

“I’m sorry, Reynaldo… Oh, it hurts so much, Reynaldo, my heart hurts so much…” Kimberly cried, looking as if she couldn’t bear the pain.

Reynaldo quickly picked her up and said in a deep voice, “I will take you to the hospital right now.” He hurried to the elevator. He took a few steps, then hurriedly turned back to look at me and said, “Wait for me to come back.”

I pursed my lips, said nothing, but my heart clenched painfully. Reynaldo gave me a deep look, then took the elevator with Kimberly in his arms. Until their figures disappeared at the elevator entrance, I stiffly tugged at my lips, and the tears welling up in my eyes finally fell.

At that moment, Jonathan suddenly opened the door and stuck his head out. “Hey, where is Reynaldo?”

“Took Kimberly to the hospital,” I hastily wiped away my tears and replied calmly.

Jonathan sighed, “It’s not that serious; Kimberly was fine this afternoon.”

“Who knows, anyway Reynaldo was nervous about her,” I chuckled self-deprecatingly. Jonathan glanced at me and said, “Hey, Esmie, have you been crying?”

“No!”

“Oh, actually you don’t need to be sad. Healthy people like us shouldn’t compare ourselves to those sickly folks.”

“Really, I think if you were sick, Reynaldo would only be more worried about you.”

“Let it go,” I sneered. “His stress is more important than my own health.”

Jonathan nodded in agreement and said, “Esmie, don’t be sad, just rest early.”

“I said, I wasn’t sad!” I said gloomily and retreated to my room, closing the door. I leaned against the door panel, with a bitter smile. No matter how much I fantasized that Reynaldo might like me, it didn’t change the fact that he cared more about Kimberly. Whenever Kimberly got sick, he would always leave me.

So, why bother? There is no need to fantasize again, no need to entangle myself again. Those involved are confused; if I don’t enter this situation, I won’t be lost, I won’t be hurt. As planned, I left when I had saved enough money and found the right opportunity, then started a new life with my baby. Having figured this out, I felt much more at ease.

In one’s life, it’s not necessarily about love, is it? After adjusting my mood, I took a shower. When I lay down on the bed, it was already past eleven o’clock at night. Although it was tiring to travel by boat and car that day, I managed to get plenty of sleep during the day, so I was still energetic.

Vonnie happened to video chat with me. I picked up and found that she was still on set. She wore a medieval hairstyle and vintage clothing, looking quite the part. She said she chatted with me while taking a break. I saw many people on the set, and I asked her, “Are we still shooting tonight?”

“Well, we are rushing to meet the deadline. Now we are basically working overtime day and night. They plan to finish shooting in two months and then negotiate the release.” Vonnie said, and then she turned around with her phone in hand, letting me take a look at the set.

I urged her, “You should also take care of yourself and not overwork.”
