You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 90


    The next day, the pain in rissa’s body was even more pronounced, so much so that she didn’t dare


    to move a muscle.


    Since lying on her belly felt more ufortable, she got down from the bed and stood still, which


    eased the pain slightly.


    Ellie came to visit her early in the morning and even brought along some breakfast.


    However, she was taken aback upon spying the lunchbox on the coffee table.


    “Who brought this for you?”


    Just as rissa was racking her brain for an answer, Ellie came up with one all on her own.


    “Was it your boyfriend? Did hee over? Why didn’t he stay longer? I’m curious about what he looks


    like. Anyway, did hee herest night?”


    rissa fumbled for words before squeaking out, “Mm… He did. He has to work today, so he left early.


    Besides, I’m not that badly injured. There’s no need for him to stay too long.”


    “Hmph! That’s not the point. It’s the thought that counts. Anyway, let me tell you, even though I haven’t


    met this boyfriend of yours, I already don’t have a good impression of him.”


    Ellie bluntly announced her standing, not bothering to sugar coat her words.


    As for rissa, she could only smile wryly because there was nothing she could do.


    Later in the morning, two people visited rissa in her ward.


    It was Donnie and a police officer.


    Ellie was puzzled, as she thought the incidentst night had already been resolved.


    “Ms. Tyson, this officer has a few questions for you. It’s about the girl named Lucy.”


    “Lucy?”


    Ellie was bewildered.


    “Ms. Tyson, how long have you known Lucy?”


    “Uh… Less than a month, I think?”


    The officer nced at Donnie, then continued asking Ellie a few questions about Lucy.


    Seeing Ellie’s confusion, Donnie walked her through the details after the interrogation was over.


    It turned out that Lucy had shown withdrawal symptoms at the police stationst night and was caught


    by them. Perhaps it was coincidental, or perhaps Lucy had run into a bout of bad luck. Due to the


    heavy difort she felt from being unable to relieve the symptoms, she had begged and rambled on


    about many things in the end. Among those things was the fact that she had approached Ellie on


    purpose.


    At that time, it was thanks to their captain, Shawn Hayes, that they caught the important details after a


    brief analysis. Later on, they also got Lucy to confess the reason she had deliberately approached


    Ellie.


    “Ms. Tyson, this Lucy girl approached you because someone gave her the idea. They told her that if


    she wanted to break up with her current abusive boyfriend, she needed to get you to intervene and the


    breakup would be a sess.”


    “Even if that’s the case, she was the one who wanted to break up. What difference does it make that I


    had a hand in it? I could never stand men who hit women anyway.”


    The police officer exined, “That’s the problem. After Captain Hayes analyzed the situation, he found


    that breaking up was only one of the goals. Lucy’s boyfriend has a tendency to beat people up


    whenever he gets upset. Previously, he had beaten up some rich people in his drunken state and


    suffered rather severe consequences. So Ms. Tyson, if he knew you were the one who urged Lucy to


    break up, it was inevitable that he’d go after you. This was the ultimate goal.”


    rissa gasped in surprise at that. “You mean, their goal was to beat Ellie up?”


    “It’s a possibility we can’t rule out. We also interrogated Lucy, and she said she doesn’t know the


    person who gave her the idea. It was just a girl she met at a bar and exchanged a few words with.”


    “Bullsh*t! You’re saying someone wanted to beat me up and even went through all this hassle to do it?


    Is that Captain Hayes or whatever his name is delusional? Isn’t he exhausted froming up with


    such aplicated theory?”


    The police officer’s mouth arched into a helpless smile. “Captain Hayes has many years of experience


    in solving cases. His instincts are usually spot on.”


    “Hmph! I don’t believe that, not for one second!”


    Ellie remained skeptical, but since the officer had said everything that needed to be said, Donnie sent


    him off soon after.


    In the room, Ellie’s face was sullen, while rissa’s features were lined with worry.


    “Ellie, there must be some truth since it’s what the police said. Maybe there really is someone holding a


    grudge against you, but just like you said, why go through all the hassle instead of just confronting you?


    Besides, getting someone to beat you up doesn’t mean they’d seed.”


    As Ellie fell into deep contemtion, rissa worriedly gnawed her lip.


    “Can you think of anyone who’d hold a grudge against you? It’s probably not that big of a grudge…”


    Ellie shook her head. “There are indeed many people who I have conflicts with; some rivals from work


    and the asional random people I offend. There are too many to count. It’s impossible to root them


    out. Whoever yed this trick on me is a coward, so there’s nothing for me to be afraid of.”


    “I know you’re not afraid, but they might harbor more bad intentions. You have to be more careful.”


    Ellie’s lips quirked into a smile when she saw rissa’s bunched up brows.


    “Look at you. You’re turning into an olddy. Don’t worry, I’m not that stupid. I’ll be careful.”


    rissa wasn’t reassured, but worrying about it was useless. They still had to get the police to catch


    the culprit.


    Ellie wanted to stay to apany rissa, but thetter persuaded her to leave since she had a job to


    keep. In fact, rissa could be discharged today, but they had insisted that she stay.


    In the afternoon, she walked about for a bit before taking a nap. After that, she sat by the window with


    herptop propped on her knees, working on her script. For certain parts, she had tomunicate and


    consult with a Ms. Mayer from Justin Yates Studio.


    Matthew opened the door and entered just then. The first thing he saw was a serious-looking rissa


    sitting by the window. The sunlight filtered in and illuminated her figure. Her long hair was tied up into a


    messy ponytail, leaving stray strands of hair framing her face. Gazing at the way her beautiful face


    glowed under the sun, he gradually fell under a spell.


    Matthew’s fingers twitched and his throat tightened at the alluring sight of her. For a long time, he stood


    there and watched her, trapped in a trance.


    In the end, rissa was the one who had unwittingly looked up and saw him.


    “Eh? When did you get here? Why are you always so quiet on your feet?”


    rissa got up and reached out to grab a cup, but before she could, a hiss of pain escaped her lips.


    Matthew swiftly walked over and took the cup for her, then wrapped an arm around her waist to hug her


    close to him.


    After rissa finished drinking the water, Matthew stared hungrily at her lips. Unable to resist her


    natural appeal, he lowered his head to lock lips with her.


    Why does he kiss me whenever we meet? Is he that desperate?


    Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    Being kissed so passionately by Matthew, rissa gasped for air before shoving him away. She


    showed no affection for him whatsoever as her mind waspletely focused on Ellie’s wellbeing.


    “You probably know, right? Is someone really targeting Ellie? Can they find out who this person is?”


    Matthew’s eyes shed icily. “Mm, they’re investigating.”


    “I really don’t understand. How messed up does a person’s mind have to be toe up with a trick like


    this to harm her? It’s probably because she’s scared of being sniffed out and scared of Ellie finding out


    her identity. Since she’s so scared, it could mean that Ellie knows her. Or maybe she’s just a coward


    who used underhanded methods. Ugh, pathetic.”


    Matthew lowered his head and pinched her chin, cocking a brow at her.


    “My, such logical conspiracy theories. You should just be a private investigator.”


    rissa giggled. “Nah, this was nothing. I’m sure anyone with half a brain could’vee up with these


    deductions. And I’m serious about what I said. As her uncle, shouldn’t you be worried about her?”


    “Mm. I’m sure her dear Aunt re worries about her enough for the two of us.”


    “Tsk. Don’t spout nonsense!”


    rissa pushed him away. With a face as red as a tomato, she shuffled away and sat down to look at


    herptop, feigning calmness.


    Despite that, Matthew didn’t expose her facade. He went over to sit with her, keeping his eyes trained


    on her the whole time.


    rissa could never handle the weight of his gaze. She fidgeted in her seat, feeling awkward and shy.


    When she couldn’t take it anymore, she blurted out, “You should go now. I’m really fine on my own. Or I


    could just get discharged, so that you don’t have to keeping here. It’s too risky.”


    “Risky?”


    rissa immediately steered the topic away. “The point is, I don’t wanna stay here anymore. Besides,


    I’m fine. I just have to take some medication and I’ll be as good as new. I wanna go home.”


    Home.


    Matthew’s mood seemed to improve vastly after hearing this word.


    “Alright. Let’s go home then.”


    He readily agreed to her request and settled the discharge procedure before bringing her back to Zen


    Hignds.


    In truth, rissa had already guessed that he would take her back there. Hence, she didn’t bother


    objecting.


    Many said that it was easy to grow ustomed to a life of luxury. Indeed, rissa feltfortable


    living in Zen Hignds. For someone aszy as her, it was a dreame true not having to lift a


    finger. All she had to do was eat, write, sleep, and repeat. In addition, the view at Zen Hignds was


    beautiful, which could also significantly lifted her spirits.


    Forgive me for allowing my pure heart to be tainted by thevish ways of a capitalist.


    Oh, well. I’m technically a patient now, so I’ll allow myself to enjoy this bit of luxury, just for now.


    rissa sent a message to Ellie, telling thetter that she had gone home. She even straight up said


    that she was at her boyfriend’s house and told Ellie not to worry about her.


    “Didn’t you say that he doesn’t care about me? Hate to break it to you, but he actually cares, and quite


    a lot too. Anyway, don’t worry, I’ll focus on recovering and go visit you soon. I’ll make sure to fatten up


    before seeing you, okay?”


    “Hmph! I just can’t figure out why you’re being so secretive about it. Fine, I won’t ask. If I find out that


    you’ve lost weight or something, don’t me me for checking up on that guy.”


    “Alright, alright. Rx, he’s a very good person. You, on the other hand, have to be more careful.


    Beware of crazy plots from now on.”


    After ending the call, rissa could finally rx. She stayed in Zen Hignds for a few days to recover


    properly as well as focus on writing her script.


    By the time her injuries werepletely healed, her script was almost done too. Without a moment’s


    dy, she sent it to Justin Yates Studio. Except for some minor details which she had overlooked,


    there weren’t many issues with the script.


    The studio had also already made the necessary preparations for filming.


    After that, rissa met up with Justin a few times to discuss various matters ranging from the scenes


    to the costumes, and to the tiniest of details in the script. Justin held her in high regards and respected


    her opinions. Hence, he let her join in on the discussions. First, it was because she was the original


    screenwriter, and second, he wanted to offer rissa the opportunity to fully participate in this film


    adaptation, unlike the previous crew who had only wanted her script.


    Even though rissa started as a writer, she slowly gained an abundance of knowledge from Justin,


    which inevitably made her respect and admire him all the more.
