The huge crowd arrived in the hospital. The journey to the hospital was unexpectedly smooth in such a heavy rain.
Edward was intended to take Jasmine away through a little door of the hospital. The reporters had been stopped outside by security guards, Brad was contending with them, and they two could just leave directly. Besides, her ankle was sprained. It couldn’t be told from her pale face whether the fetus had been impaired.
However, Jasmine didn’t agree. The reason why she insisted on coming was that she’d like to make a record of question as well as making sure that the two drivers had been out of danger. "How can I just go back because of a sprained ankle?" She thought.
"I can’t just go back now. Not until I finish the record." Jasmine turned down Edward’s suggestion without hesitation.
"But you... You are still pregnant..." Said Edward.
"That’s enough. I’m going to make the record, and we will go back to it later." Said Jasmine. Edward was interrupted in the middle of the sentences. Gazing at Jasmine’s distant receding figure, Edward kicked the wall angrily, and a wet footprint was left on the white wall of the hospital.
It didn’t take long to finish the record, and Jasmine limped back shortly. Edward reached out his hands, trying to embrace her, but was turned down.
"I myself can walk, thanks." Said Jasmine. Maybe it was because they together saved people that Jasmine was rarely rather good to Edward. Edward laughed foolishly quite a while because of a thanks.
Since Jasmine insisted on not going to his home, Edward had to drive her back to her small apartment. He said he had to tack care of her because she had sprained her ankle. Unable to make him change his mind, Jasmine had to ask Edward to go upstairs together.
"Jenny, I am back." Said Jasmine.
"Madame, finally you come back. Where have you been in such a heavy rain?" Jenny murmured, but went to the bathroom to fetch a towel. Seeing Edward, she confounded a moment, and had no ideal who she should give the towel to.
Jasmine took the towel and towelled herself. Jenny brought back to herself and went to the bathroom to fetch another towel for Edward. She was prepared to boil ginger soup for them, however, she suddenly felt sick on the way. Rushing into the bathroom, Jenny puked all over the place.
Jasmine was prepared to boil ginger soup, but was held back to the sofa by Edward. He boiled three bowls of ginger soup under the looking down of Jasmine, and had a look at Jenny, who had been to the bathroom to puke again while catching the smell of ginger soup. It seemed that something had come into his head. He hesitated for a moment, but finally asked.
"Jenny... Is she pregnant?" Edward tried asking.
"Yes, I am pregnant, and it has been over two month. Please keep it between us, Mr. Chu" Said Jenny. Edward had introduced himself while serving ginger soup to Jenny, but Jenny had gone to puke before he could say anything.
"Of course." Edward was not a talkative man. "Which means Jasmine didn’t get pregnant, right?" He asked. Jasmine gave a brittle laugh. It was all clear now that Jasmine had never got pregnant, and it was a misunderstanding!
"Why didn’t you tell me that you were not pregnant? And made me misunderstand it!" Said Edward. He was a little embarrassed. How come he guessed wrong, and quarreled with Jasmine for it, which really made him lose face.
"Humph! Fortunately, I didn’t get pregnant. Otherwise, I would have been forced to get abortion by someone!" Jasmine felt sick to her stomach just thinking about it, and her tone became worse.
"You!" Edward didn’t know what to say momentarily. After all, it was his fault. But Jasmine’s attitude made him too embarrassed to apologize. He slammed the door and left. They two gave the unknown silent treatment to each other.
Looking at the direction of the door, as well as Jasmine’s dirty look, Jenny decided not to ask first. Even she had a belly of questions.
Although Jasmine felt like never meeting Edward again, they were unavoidable to meet for they were in the same crew.
Prepared to film in Heng Dian World Studios as well as being sponsored by Edward, the crew rented a whole plane luxuriously. Even Jasmine was so careful to avoid meeting Edward, vise verse, they bumped into each other.
They took a look at each other in a little embarrassment, and then turned their heads aside, acting like a couple who were bickering.
The scene happened to be seen by Amanda, a hot property in the show business, which made her hate to guts instantly.
The leading actress of the show would have been in the bag of Amanda. However, it was unexpected that Jasmine, a freshman, came out of nowhere and grabbed the leading role. What a waste of time she had spent on the director!
Amanda saw Jasmine sitting in a window seat after boarding the plane. Unfortunately, it was the seat she planned to take. Plus the former dispute between them, Amanda decided to go giving Jasmine a lesson.
"Yo, is this the well-known leading actress of the TV show? How come you are sitting in economy class with us? Why don’t you sit in first class with Edward since you have hooked up with him?" Said Amanda. Edward was arranged in first class because he was the actor as well as the investor.
Normally, Jasmine would have borne it. After all, she was still a fledgling actress, and a little-known actress could not fight against a hot property.
However, unfortunately, Edward was mentioned, and Amanda even said Jasmine had hooked up with him, which made her unbearable.
"Watch your tongue, Amanda. Don’t be so mean like a bitch, and mind your own image!" Said Jasmine. "Edward and I have a pure relationship. Please don’t judge others in your filthy mind."
What Jasmine said made Amanda blush. There were still others on the plane, and it made her burst into a rage that Jasmine had shown no respect for her. Immediately, she was prepared to give Jasmine a slap.
A stewardess serving drinking water came and stopped her. Not wanting to hit Jasmine any more, Amanda snirted, grabbed a glass of water, and was about to pour it on Jasmine.
Suddenly, Jasmine stood up from her seat, snatched the glass from Amanda’s hand, and poured the water over her face. Amanda was confused, and others were too shocked to speak. They didn’t expect that Jasmine, who normally was a polite lady, would be so tough.
Found she was poured water on by a little-known actress, Amanda suddenly screamed out.
"Ah! You bitch! How dare you pour water on me! I will kill you!" With this she was about to choke Jasmine.
Finally, the rest realized how bad things got. Some were still looking on, and wished it could become worse. However, the flight security guards would not just watch the fun. They came persuading and stopping the two women.
But Amanda wouldn’t let Jasmine off easily. She struggled regardless of her image, and it was a pretty mess at the moment.
