Kiss me tender novel Chapter 76

At the thought of this, Melissa lifted the quilt and got out of bed. When she saw that her left hand still had infusion tube, she felt helpless. Finally, she pulled them out. Then enduring the pain of the foot injury, she slowly walked out of the ward and opened the door. She saw Eric and his assistant standing in the corner of the hallway. Eric was listening to someone with a dark face.

Perhaps it was because Woody scolded him too harshly that Eric didn't look well all the time. And he even didn't say a word for a long time. Standing at the door, Melissa looked at them in silence.

The assistant gestured at Eric to greet him when she saw Melissa. When Eric looked over, he was surprised to see that Melissa was standing at the door. Then he was even more absent-minded about the phone call of Woody. He perfunctorily answered the phone and forcefully turned it off. He put the phone into the little assistant's hand and said, "Turn off the phone immediately. Don't answer his phone without my order!"

Then he walked to Melissa, ignoring the assistant's reluctance. Eric didn't seem to be in a good mood. After seeing that Melissa dropped the infusion tube, he asked with a frown, "Why did you come out?"

Melissa said, "I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you. Your agent should be on his way here, so I think I'd better leave."

Eric pressed her shoulder and said, "Don't be silly. You are sick now. How can I leave now?" "And Woody doesn't know where I am. Don't worry. He won't disturb you!"

Melissa shook her head and said, "But you can't do that. You're an artist and you have to follow the company's orders. You've already made a lot of trouble because of me these days. Don't offend your manager or your agent, or they can make you infamous again. In this case, I will feel very sorry for you!"

Hearing her words, Eric frowned, unwilling to let go of her shoulder. The assistant was probably frightened to Woody at this time. She came up to say, "Yes, Eric, Woody was really angry this time. You really should not provoke him again!"

Upon hearing this, Eric glared at her and snapped, "What are you talking about?" He didn't want to make Melissa listen to bad words. Then he looked at Melissa. Realizing that he couldn't hide anything from her, he pressed Melissa on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much. It doesn't matter. I, known as Eric, don't make a living by this. The worst result is that I quit acting and my father has always urged me to learn how to manage the company."

When the assistant heard Eric's words, she widened her eyes in shock. They were actually relying on Eric for food. Moreover, Eric was so popular and it was not easy for a 27-year-old star to reach his level. Not to mention that he had limitless potential. How could he give up his bright career for a woman? But she didn't say anything, although she was still worried.

Luckily, Melissa persuaded Eric, "You don't have to do that. Acting is your favorite career and it's for your art dream. How can you easily give it up?" Moreover, if you are really banished by the company, even if you have a back-up, you will be reluctant to go this situation, right? It is disgraceful to retire. I really don't want to see you die like this because of me. "I will be very guilty!"

Seeing that he couldn't convince her, Eric was a little upset. He didn't want to say anything more, so he shook his head and said to Melissa, "Let's stop talking about it. We'll talk about it later. Now you're still sick. No matter what, you can't get rid of the needle." "You'd better get in and lie down." Eric then turned to the assistant and said, "Call the nurse!"

The assistant was too shocked to hear Eric's words. So she still was like that she couldn't understand his order.

In a fret, Eric urged, "Hurry up!"

The assistant nodded and then ran away.

Eric took Melissa to the ward for a rest. A mixed feeling surged up in Melissa's heart. And the more she thought about it, the more she was sure that Eric had a special…… Perhaps he had a special feeling on her. Why did a man treat a woman so well? Was it because he pitied her talent? She couldn't believe this. After so many years, Eric still couldn't forget her. Was Eric still in love with her? Did he love me? If that was the case, she wouldn't dare to approach Eric anymore, because she didn't love Eric and wouldn't accept his love. Moreover, she didn't want to affect his career. After all, there were a lot of company regulations that artists would break the contract and had to pay a lot of liquidated damages as well as could not be paid attention by the company when they had a romance love. Besides, a man who was a popular star like Eric shouldn't be in a relationship so easily. How could she possibly affect him?

After thinking about it for a while, Melissa suddenly said when Eric took her to the bed, "I'm thirsty. Can you get some water for me?"

When Eric was about to help her lie down, he raised his head in a daze.

Then Melissa added smilingly, "Later when the nurse brings the medicine, I also needs to take medicine, right?"

Only then did Eric understand what she meant. Smiling, he nodded and said, "Oh, I forgot. Wait for me. I'll open the bottled water for you." After finishing his words, Eric picked up the kettle on the bedside table and exhorted Melissa to be careful. Then he left the room.

Melissa then took advantage of the chance and slipped out of the ward. She was cryptic to hide in the opposite direction. She had made up her mind to leave when Eric was absent.

On her way, she happened to see his assistant rushing here with a nurse. The assistant asked in surprise, "Miss Shen, where are you going?"

Seeing that she could not escape, Melissa said to the assistant, "I'm leaving here. I can't let

Eric know!"

The assistant was stunned and asked, "Isn't Miss Shen still ill?" "And how can we explain if Eric knows?"

The nurse also said seriously, "The patient is still sick and can't be discharged. Otherwise, we can't take responsibility if anything happens!"

Melissa said in honest, "I know that I have brought a lot of troubles to you these days, not only affected Eric, but also affected your backup group. I'm really sorry, so I must leave for the sake of not affecting you. If you're doing this for both your own sake and for the sake of Eric, please let me go and don't tell him!"

Then Melissa nodded to the assistant and ran away as fast as she could when she finished her words.

The nurse didn't agree and shouted, "Where are you going?"

But the nurse was stopped by the assistant soon. She might have been persuaded by what Melissa had said. She couldn't let Eric have a bad acting future and make Woody and she lose their job because of her, so it was a good thing that Melissa had left. Therefore, she stopped the nurse.

Since Melissa couldn't get far since she had a foot injury, she didn't leave at once, but went to the bathroom to hide. As she had expected, she heard noises coming from this floor soon. Eric shouted her name and ran to the elevator.
