Chapter 432
Stella's face changed. "Stall them, Zayla. Don't let them touch my mother. I'll go over right away."
"I have to go, Mr. Wood," she said after hanging up the phone. Daniel had already heard what was
going on through the phone call. He more or less knew about the situation in Stella's family. He knew
she had a mother who was in a coma in the hospital and needed long-term medication.
Although Stella's life was rather messy, she was never late for shoots. She was the best at taking
criticism and the sharpest actor.
Daniel liked her a lot. So when he heard that, he said, "Go ahead. We've done a lot of filming today. We
need to change the background for our next scene; we can continue the shoot next time."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella said goodbye and changed her costume. Then, without taking her makeup off, she rushed to
Rotona Pinnacle Hospital. Several people in very different attires stood at the door of Rainee's ward.
The leader of the group held a black leather bag under his armpit. He was dressed relatively ordinarily,
but he was rather tall and big. He had a chubby face and a scar at the corner of his left eye up to his
scalp, where hair stopped growing. His appearance gave off a sense of cruelty and ruthlessness.
Three other people stood behind him, dressed in gang wear. They had tattoos all over their arm and
piercings all over their face. No one dared to pass by the ward when they saw them.
Zayla was afraid they would do something. She stood in front of the hospital bed, wary that they would
come in and touch Rainee's equipment just like before.
Most of the medical staff also stood far away. The nurse in charge tried negotiating with the men as
their presence affected the hospital and its patients.
The leader smiled and said, "We don't want to do this either, Ms. Nurse, but they owe us money. It's
been several years since they last paid us back. My men here have families to care for, too, you know.
There are laws to follow. We won't do anything to harm her; we just want an explanation."
The man's smile, paired with his scar, made him seem even more intimidating than before.
"Even so, you can't take off her ventilator. It'll kill her!" The nurse anxiously said.
"What can I do? They have the money to get medical treatment, yet they don't have the money to pay
us back. I have to do something to warn them, right?" the man said, glancing at the equipment. "Isn't
her heartbeat fairly normal?"
"Go find the person who borrowed money from you if you want it back. Don't come to the hospital and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcause trouble. We'll have no choice but to call the police if you affect the patients."
The man's eyes darkened, sneering, "Call them and tell them why I'm here. I'm sure they'd agree that
you should repay the money you owe."
The nurse realized that there was no use negotiating, so she took out her phone to dial 911.
The man did not speak. Instead, he gave the tattooed man next to him a look, and the man
immediately understood. He stepped forward to grab the nurse, pulled the phone out of her hand, and
smashed it against the wall.
The phone instantly fell apart, and the nurse crouched, covering her head in fright.
"Let's see who dares to call the police!"
"I dare!" A cold female voice came from the crowd. Everyone stepped aside. and Stella walked out with
a tense look. Then, she walked up to the head of the pack.
