Chapter 196 A Deliberate n
“Municipal Hospital.” Errol was terrified when he heard what Cedric said. The video call was cut off before M could say
anything.
“Errol!”
Cedric ordered, “Municipal Hospital. Now.”
“Roger.” Gilbert started driving toward the hospital.
Celia was on the hospital bed and Errol was standing in the corner. It was in to see that he was in misery. Maia looked at him,
then at Celia’s agent and assistant, who were wiping tears. Then, she took both of them out of the room.
The moment the door closed, she asked them, “What happened?”
Celia’s assistant wiped her tears and said, “Celia would always rest in the makeshift standby room when she’s not shooting a
scene. Lately, she seems more exhausted than usual.
“She''s a light sleeper, so she doesn''t like it when people disturb her sleep. Yesterday, she went to rest as usual, but she wasn’t in
the standby room when | went to tell her that her scene was up. | called her immediately, but she didn’t answer.
“| got worried. So, | told the filming crew about what happened and we called the police. They searched for her in the hills and
found her in the woods. She... She was...”
The assistant was overwhelmed with emotion and burst into tears. The agent was slightly calmer, so she continued where the
assistant left off.

“It was a mess when the police found had been involved, but Celia’s costume was torn to pieces, and there was blood
everywhere on her legs.
“We sent her to the hospital at once and found out that she had miscarried. They got the culprits‘ DNA samples. The cops will get
them soon enough!”
“Why didn’t you let me know right there and then?”
Celia’s agent lowered her head. “I only just found out about what happened. You got here before | even had time to process it.”
The assistant kept wiping her tears. “It’s all my fault. This wouldn’t have happened if | had been by her side!”
Maia reassured her. “You might not have been able to protect her even if you were with her. You wouldn’t have been strong
enough to fight against multiple assants. Were there any
witnesses?”
Celia’s assistant shook her head. “Everyone was focused on the shooting of the scene. Ms.

So, the culprit was aware of Celia’s shooting schedule and ordered the henchmen to take her away when she was having a
break. The deed was also done in such a way that no one in the crew would notice.
It was clearly a deliberate n.
“What should we do, Ms Maia? Ms. Celia isn’t going to be able to handle it when she wakes up
“Make sure everything is taken care of. Arrange for a psychotherapist and suppress the news. We have to ensure this doesn’t
get out.” It was vital that Celia’s reputation remain untarnished.
Celia’s agent said hesitantly, “I-I’m afraid it’s toote for that.”
Maia’s phone buzzed at that moment. She took it out and saw that the news about Celia’s predicament was already a top
trending topic on Twitter!
It was also one of the top trending searches on the inte! People who were on the scene gave a brief rundown of the
unfortunate event and attached some pictures of the police searching for Celia and the moment when she was sent to the
hospital.
While the pictures were blurry and only captured the side of her face, her costume was a dead giveaway. Netizens recognized it
from previous scenes that she had shot on the hill!
The online discourse was relentless. Most expressed concern and sympathy, while others were downright nasty. A flurry of
assumptions and sarcastic remarks flooded the inte.
“| waspletely baffled when | read this piece of news. | can’t imagine myself in the same situation. It’s horrifying. What on
earth are the filming crew doing? Celia was a superstar. Why wasn’t there someone with her at all times?”
“| beg you, officers. Seize the culprits and make sure they have a taste of our justice system! They did it in broad daylight. I’m
sorry Celia had to go through with this. Here’s hoping she''ll be fine!”
“First, Zera was murdered. Now, Celia was raped and miscarried as a result. What’s going on with the entertainment industry?
Furthermore, Starlight Entertainment owns Celia. Where’s Maia through all this?”
“What would you have her say, pal? She’s dealing with the situation now. Why should she exin herself to some random guy
on the inte?”
“Celia? Isn’t she that super innocent-looking actress? Heh heh. How did it feel when they had their way with her, | wonder?
Hahaha!”
“The hillbillies really bumped into something good there. I’ve wanted my way with Celia for a
Maia frowned as she clutched her phone tightly. Then, she heard Cedric’s deep voice. “Suppress the news about Celia at all
costs,” he said, firmly.
Maia turned to Celia’s agent and assistant. “Go back and do what must be done. Don’t let anyone know about Celia’s situation.
Got it?”
Both of them nodded and sighed. Maia turned her gaze to Cedric once more after they left.
“Celia’s predicament is no mere ident. | suspect it’s just like what happened to Zera. Somebody had it in for her.”
Then, the ward door was opened slowly. A heartbroken Errol walked out with his head lowered. His tears flowed freely when he
laid his eyes on Maia.
She was disheartened to see him in this state. She frowned and said, “Errol...”RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
He was in deep sorrow. He held his head, crouched, and struck himself fiercely. He was mute, but it was clear from his actions
that he med himself for this tragedy.
Maia stepped forward and stopped him at once. “Keep it together, Errol!”
He raised his head and looked at her, tears flowing.
“It''s not your fault, Errol. You’ll only make it worse when shees around and sees you in this state. You need to be strong for
her. | Know you love her, and it is because of that you must hold it together.”
There was no use crying over spilled milk. It was important to arrest the culprits, but it’s equally important to stabilize Celia and
help her to move on from this tragedy!
