Chapter 117 Ethan's Acting Chops
In a San Francisco hospital..
Jasmine leaned anxiously over the side of the hospital bed, her eyes swollen and red from crying for hours on end.
Ethan removed his oxygen mask, glanced at Jasmine, and gave a helpless smile. "It's just acting, you know. You cried for real?"
"But you... you were so convincing," Jasmine choked back sobs.
After the meeting, Jasmine had given Ethan the 'peanut brittle' she'd switched out earlier.
It was just plain toffee, but Ethan began to cough violently, gasping for air as if he couldn't breathe.
Jasmine was terrified.
Ethan couldn't help but laugh at her stammering and timid demeanor.
She truly resembled a startled little rabbit.
"Are you upset cause you'd be sad if I had an allergic reaction and died, or cause you'd feel guilty if something actually happened to me?" Ethan was genuinely curious to know if Jasmine was worried about him.
Jasmine wiped her tears away. Did it make any difference which of those fears was haunting her? "I was scared. I thought I took the wrong candy."
Ethan's smile froze for a moment. He had perhaps expected too much.
"The PR folks from the company will take you away soon. Don't be afraid. I'm here for you," Ethan reassured Jasmine.
Jasmine nodded nervously.
They played the drama to its fullest extent. Now, the whole company was buzzing about it, ensuring a difficult resolution.
At that moment, Daria must have been feeling nervous, afraid that Jasmine might accuse her of trying to hurt Ethan on purpose. Daria had prepared her statement because everyone at the company knew Jasmine was a former convict and not trustworthy-nobody would believe her.
"Miss Wilson, there has been a serious mistake in your work. Please come with us to assist with the investigation," the PR team arrived and led Jasmine away.
Liam, who had come back with antihistamines, witnessed the PR team leading Jasmine away. His first instinct was to intervene, but realizing how much attention the situation had attracted, he decided to let the team take Jasmine away.
