    Chapter 2224


    The director and producer followed the ambnce to the hospital, leaving the rest of the crew jittery


    and on edge back on set.


    “I mean, I know Ivy can’t swim for nuts, but we went through the scene so many times, she couldn’t


    have gotten into trouble in less than thirty seconds, right?”


    One of the lifeguards was particrly anxious, fearing he’d be the scapegoat if anything went south.

    “I don’t get it either, but something seemed off. When it was time for Ivy to surface, she didn’t pop up


    right away. I thought it was just a second or two dyed, and if she were in trouble, she’d call out for


    help. So, I didn’t rush over. I didn’t want to disrupt the shoot and get an earful from the director. Little


    did I know we’d have such a mishap.”


    Diana smirked to herself where no one could see.


    She truly was a genius. When it happened, she was the only one close enough to Ivy to act discreetly.


    As Ivy struggled to stay afloat, Diana had a vice grip on her wrist, keeping her under water. Diana even


    continued mouthing her lines, then suddenly shouted to the shore, “Ivy’s gone!”


    It took only five or six seconds for Ivy to start choking, and soon she lost consciousness underwater.


    Even if Ivy regained consciousness, Diana wouldn’t be concerned.


    In the murky depths, with no witnesses and Ivy’s own fear of water likely to y tricks on her mind, a


    few words would be enough to sweep it all under the rug.


    “You didn’t do it on purpose, guys. Ivy’s got a guardian angel; she’ll be fine! Just you wait and see!”


    Diana’s eyes were red as she feigned shock and terror, hands pressed together in prayer for Ivy.


    The crew, observing her in this state, never suspected that she was the one who nearly drowned Ivy.


    “While Diana may have been a bit over the top before, she probably doesn’t want to see anyone die


    either.”


    Many crew members were taken in by Diana’s act and joined in the prayers for Ivy.


    Ever since Ivy joined the cast, there had been quite a few ups and downs.


    They might not have been the closest of colleagues, but nobody wanted to see a co-worker, someone


    they’d just been working with, lose their life in the blink of an eye.


    Meanwhile, at the hospital, the seconds ticked by relentlessly. Alyssa and Dean sat grim-faced outside


    the emergency room.


    “What did Balfour say? Is heing back?”


    Dean’s brows were furrowed, thinking the situation called for Balfour’s presence.


    “How dare he note back? I gave him a ring, and Ivy’s still in there, fighting for her life. If he doesn’t


    show up…”


    Her words were tinged with me, but the very next second, she pped her own mouth.


    “Our Ivy is going to be just fine!”


    Both elders were advanced in years, and Colton and the producer felt uneasy seeing them wait like


    this.


    So, they tried to step in, suggesting the couple head home to rest and promising to update them with


    any news on Ivy.


    “Don’t bother us; you’ve got enough on your te as it is,” Alyssa snapped.


    Initially, Colton thought Alyssa was referencing some scandal that had rocked the set previously.


    It wasn’t until the producer sensed something was off and pulled Colton aside to check the trending


    topics online that they realized the gravity of the situation.
