Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire
Chapter 200 Jealous Again

Chapter 200: Chapter 200 Jealous Again

The door was pushed open, and Sister Grace entered, wheeling in a wheelchair with Crystal Harper revealing a look of surprise on her face.

"Miss Summers, you’ve finally woken up!"

"Miss Harper." Serena Summers brushed off the hand wrapped around her waist and greeted her with a smile.

"Miss Summers, I came specifically to thank you. The doctor said that if it wasn’t for your timely intervention, my leg might have been ruined." Crystal Harper looked up at Serena with eyes full of gratitude.

Beyond that, Serena also detected a hint of loss in those eyes.

Crystal Harper forced a smile and said, "I probably won’t be able to film for a while. The role in Director Carter’s movie was hard-won, I didn’t expect..."

Sister Grace, looking downcast, heaved a sigh of regret, "We just terminated our contract with Director Carter a couple of days ago. He’s currently looking for new talent. The role of the third female lead is really charming; it’s like it was tailor-made for Crystal. It’s such a shame... our Crystal just doesn’t have that fate."

Serena looked at them, unsure of how to offer comfort.

She cleared her throat, "Miss Harper, you should focus on your recovery. There will always be opportunities in the future."

Crystal Harper lifted her spirits with a smile, nodding slowly, "You’re right, opportunities will come! By the way, you can call me Crystal. Can I call you Serena?"

"Of course, Crystal." Serena’s smile curled at the edge of her lips, glowing radiantly as there wasn’t a hint of fatigue on her well-rested face.

Crystal Harper stared at her, lost in thought.

How could someone be so beautiful?

So beautiful that it made one feel inferior and that seeing her smile was a kind of happiness.

Crystal Harper’s heart rate quickened, feeling like she was about to fall.

She blurted out her inner thoughts in a daze, "Serena, you’re really beautiful. If I were a man, I would definitely pursue you."

Lucas Shaw: "???"

It was bad enough with the guys; now why is there another girl trying to compete with him?

Lucas immediately pulled Serena into his embrace, staring at Crystal with a hostile and guarded gaze.

Silently proclaiming his territory.

Suddenly being held, Serena looked up, puzzled.

Lucas happened to lower his gaze, his deep eyes filled with resentfulness.

She couldn’t help but laugh, "Why are you jealous again?"

"What do you mean again? Miss Summers, you should reflect on why even women can’t resist you, not just men."

Serena, nonsensically accused, was somewhat speechless and helplessly retorted, "What do you mean even women can’t resist me? This is called an irresistible charm! Aren’t you just one of those conquered by me?"

Watching her proud and smug look, Lucas’s heart skipped a beat.

He raised an eyebrow and pondered for a moment, "Hmm, you’re right."

He was indeed one of those willingly conquered by Serena Summers.

And he just so happened to be the luckiest one.

To have her.

With that thought, Lucas’s mood immediately lifted, and the corners of his mouth rose a little.

If it weren’t for the presence of others, Lucas would surely embrace his darling wife and shower her with kisses.

Crystal Harper and Sister Grace watching their interaction suddenly felt a bit out of place.

To leave or to stay, either felt awkward.

What they found most astonishing was that Mr. Lucas Shaw, the man rumored to be cold, bloodthirsty, and ruthless, actually presented himself like this in front of his wife.

It was simply unimaginable.

Sister Grace coughed lightly and said to them, "Then we won’t disturb you any longer; Crystal needs to go back for a check-up."

After saying that, she quickly pushed the wheelchair away.

Crystal Harper was utterly baffled, her face full of confusion.

Why did they leave just like that?

She hadn’t had her fill of watching!

A real married couple indeed seemed more natural and sweeter than those fake celebrity couples bound by business in the entertainment industry.

When the couple locked eyes with deep affection, Crystal Harper was internally screaming crazily.

She automatically added a pink bubble filter to them.

But just as she was getting into it, Sister Grace actually pushed her away.

After leaving the ward, Crystal Harper pouted discontentedly, "Sister Grace, when did I have any other follow-up appointments to remember?"

Sister Grace stopped walking, reached out, and tapped on Crystal Harper’s forehead, "Are you being silly? Serena Summers has just woken up, and the young couple hasn’t even had the chance to talk properly. Is it appropriate for you to be the third wheel there?"

Crystal Harper thought about it and felt like it probably wasn’t appropriate.

Embarrassedly touching her nose, she let Sister Grace push her back to her room.

In the hospital room, Vincent Carter was sitting on the sofa waiting for her.

Seeing them return, he slowly stood up, "Sister Grace, Crystal."

"Director Carter? What brings you here?" Crystal Harper’s eyes lit up.

Vincent Carter held his fist to his lips and gave a light cough, his expression somewhat uneasy, "I came to see how you were doing. How’s your recovery coming along?"

"It’s much better now, thanks for your concern, Director Carter." Crystal Harper lowered her gaze, with her hands clasped together on her lap, looking somewhat at a loss.

Vincent Carter nodded, "Good to hear. I’ve taken care of your medical and hospitalization bills. Focus on healing; that’s what’s important."

"Thank you, Director Carter." Crystal Harper’s smile slowly turned bitter, and she pressed down her emotions at the bottom of her heart, asking, "Director Carter, have you found the new actress?"

"Not yet, I’ve been looking around, but haven’t found the right one."

As he spoke about this, Vincent Carter instantly became a bit irritated.

The third female lead’s role wasn’t a prominent one, but if played well, it would be very appealing, so many people were vying for this role.

But Vincent Carter had high standards for actors and had not found a suitable candidate yet.

Crystal Harper hung her head, looking at her injured leg, sighed helplessly, "Director Carter, I’m really sorry. If it weren’t for me... you wouldn’t be facing such a dilemma right now."

"Crystal, don’t think that way. It’s not your fault. Just focus on your recovery, don’t worry about the other things." He knew how eagerly Crystal Harper had wanted that role.

After a pause, he spoke slowly, "If there’s an opportunity in the future, I will arrange a suitable role for you in a script as a form of compensation."

Vincent Carter seldom made promises lightly and had never promised anyone a reserved role before, so Crystal Harper was suddenly overwhelmed with feeling favored.

An enormous surprise hit her like a ton of bricks.

Her eyes widened in astonishment, and she took some time to snap back to reality, "Rea-really?"

"Of course, it’s true."

Vincent Carter reassured.

Crystal Harper turned to look at Sister Grace, whose eyes were red, nodding continuously, grasping her shoulder, "Crystal, aren’t you going to thank Director Carter quickly!"

"Thank... thank you, Director Carter!"

Crystal Harper was so moved that she was nearly incoherent, her eyes not able to hold back the tears.

"Don’t mention it, I owe you this."

Vincent Carter had high standards for filmmaking, which is why he chose to shoot on location at Prosperity Hill.

To present the best effect, everything was acceptable to compromise.
