Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 353 - 352: His Little Fox Sister Is Extremely Protective
"Director Jude, Miss Mabel," Tiana Thorne called out to them sweetly.
The two turned to look at her.
Melissa Rooney’s heart sank as she felt that Tiana Thorne was definitely going to stir up trouble.
Mabel Hughes looked at her, "Is something wrong?"
Tiana Thorne smiled gently, her voice soft and innocent, "It’s like this, fainting can be minor or serious. Maybe sleeping it off will wake her up, but there’s another possibility."
Everyone looked at her, especially Julian Eames, who seemed quite interested, "Go on, Miss Tiana."
"She might fall into a deep sleep and never wake up, eventually leading to death."
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere, which was decent before, suddenly turned tense.
Because no one doubted her words. Previously, they all saw everything that happened in the bamboo forest when a hacker attacked; Tiana Thorne knew medicine.
Here, no one had more authority than her to speak on this matter.
Mabel Hughes furrowed her brow slightly, her voice soft and gentle, "Miss Tiana, Melissa simply fainted because she’s been overworking recently. I know you’re a doctor and have the patient’s best interest at heart, but it’s not as terrible as you say."
This sentence seemed to resonate with everyone: "Yeah, how could she die?"
Upon hearing this, Tiana Thorne just smiled lightly.
Mabel Hughes seemed to have confused the two concepts she mentioned, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Tiana Thorne softly explained on her behalf, "Miss Mabel misunderstood me. I just said there’s a possibility. How about letting me check her, just for peace of mind?"
Mabel Hughes chuckled softly after hearing this, "Sorry, I got too anxious."
Tiana Thorne nodded, accepting her apology, and then walked over to Melissa Rooney.
Melissa Rooney never expected that at this moment, Tiana Thorne would kindly offer to examine her.
Her heart trembled violently; she dared not move, dared not open her eyes, simply resigning herself to her fate.
"Please lay her down on the ground, it will be easier for me to examine her," Tiana Thorne said once more.
"Alright."
After Melissa lay down, she felt everyone’s gaze on her.
Especially since, with her eyes closed, she felt fearful about the uncertainty of what might happen next, holding her breath.
Tiana Thorne probably didn’t have the medical skills to discover she was pretending to faint.
Even if it was discovered, she could insist on not opening her eyes, whatever Tiana said would be a false accusation.
Thinking this way, she felt a lot calmer inside.
Tiana Thorne approached her, checked her pulse, examined her eyes, then pinched her chin, forcing her mouth open, and pretended to take a close look.
The others, seeing her being so meticulous, didn’t suspect her intentions.
Tiana Thorne released her hand and turned to look at Jude Donovan, "Director Jude, she fainted due to anemia."
Mabel Hughes was slightly stunned. She had thought Melissa was merely faking her faint, furrowing her willow-leaf eyebrows, and asked, "Was it because she was too tired?"
"It should be," Tiana Thorne continued along with her line of thought.
Mabel Hughes quickly instructed, "Xiao Zhou, see if there’s any sweet soup on the table?"
Xiao Zhou: "Yes, there is."
Tiana Thorne stood up, took a small bowl, and personally went to work, "Miss Mabel, you’re quite knowledgeable. I have a bowl of sweet soup left, if I feed her some, she should wake up."
Mabel Hughes had no doubts, "Thanks for your trouble, Miss Tiana."
Xiao Zhou helped Melissa sit up.
Tiana Thorne held a very hot bowl of sweet soup. She scooped up a spoonful, blew on it gently, and then fed it to her mouth, letting her drink it.
The white fungus soup was extremely hot.
Melissa felt as if her entire stomach was scalding and bursting after one spoonful.
However, Tiana Thorne’s actions were brisk, not giving her a chance to relieve the burning pain, and quickly fed her another spoonful.
Melissa was so angry she wished she could slap her.
Tiana Thorne, this damned bitch, must have done this on purpose!
Trying to burn her to death while she was unconscious!
After five or six spoonfuls, Melissa felt her mouth and stomach blistering, burning, and pained, with tears welling up, her cheeks flushing red.
"Why is she crying?"
"It’s a natural reaction," said Tiana Thorne, finishing her words and placing the sweet soup aside.
Then squatted beside Melissa again, looking very dedicated.
She extended her thumb, pinching the area between Melissa’s nose and lips, "Pinching this spot will wake her up, if not, we’ll send her to the hospital."
Looking at Melissa’s face, Tiana Thorne pinched down without hesitation.
Heh.
The mouth that insulted her second brother was now swollen and scalded.
If you want to fake fainting, you have to pay a price, right?
Her action was very forceful.
Melissa felt the skin above her lip was pinched badly, she finally couldn’t resist opening her eyes, greeted by the sight of Tiana Thorne’s innocent, harmless face.
Tiana Thorne withdrew her hand, smiling in relief, sweet and cute, with an eye filled with genuine concern, "You finally woke up, how do you feel?"
Melissa was furious, her lungs were practically exploding, eager to strangle her, yet helpless. Publicly, Tiana was treating her and even saved her, becoming her savior.
It’s like the bitterness of swallowing a mute’s suffering.
Melissa could only nod, "I’m fine now."
Her voice a bit hoarse, everyone didn’t notice, thinking it was because she just woke up.
Mabel Hughes asked, "Do you want to go back to rest or stay here?"
Tiana Thorne was the first to answer for Melissa, "Miss Mabel, Melissa has anemia, and it might be caused by hunger too, better for her to eat something."
This left Melissa with no refuge.
Jude Donovan gave the order, "Let’s do as Miss Tiana says, anyways, she just fainted, so it’s best not to move around now."
"Okay," Melissa nodded, swallowing her resentment.
Tiana Thorne felt satisfied, returning to her seat, then lifted her gaze slightly and smiled sweetly, "Mr. Ford, I apologize if treating Melissa delayed your time and affected your mood."
To Melissa’s ears, it sounded unbearably harsh.
This damn woman, she gained her advantage and still acted humble, just like a living white lotus.
Julian Ford shook his head, his almond-shaped eyes curving slightly, "Miss Tiana, you’re too kind."
The smile in his eyes carried an expression only Tiana Thorne could understand; it was indulgent.
His little fox sister, fiercely protective.
Tears welled in Melissa’s eyes, feeling deeply wronged.
She prepared so much today, dressing up beautifully, yet now, her lips were swollen and embarrassing, while Tiana Thorne gained all the limelight.
Everyone was discussing the new play, speaking freely, while she felt like an outsider, feeling humiliated sitting there.
At ten o’clock in the evening, everyone finally dispersed.
The two directors saw Julian Ford off first.
Clement Xavier came to Tiana Thorne’s side, warmly saying goodbye, and only tonight had she met Clement Xavier’s manager, quite beautiful, but with a very stern look, without a hint of warmth, like a chill, cold career woman.
But it was also clear that this manager didn’t like her.
