Hubby's Deep Love Will Never Change-Chapter 1029 Red Spider Lily Heather (53)

After arriving in the unfamiliar city of Linyang, she became thoroughly ordinary.

With her skills, she could have served many organizations, like becoming a mercenary, living a life of getting paid to take lives, with no worries for food and clothing.

But she didn’t want to.

She wanted to completely leave her past self behind and become a brand new Heather.

Even if she had to worry about her own living expenses, struggle to make enough money for rent and utilities, she preferred to be this utterly ordinary person, experiencing the life of an ordinary person.

In the remaining years of her life, she wanted to cast aside all the hustle and bustle of strife, to live simply once more.

"Really not getting an anesthetic?"

"No need."

This pain, she could bear it.

When the nurse left, she whispered to the colleague who came in, "Can you believe there are still people who choose not to take anesthetics just to save money? Won’t she be in agony?"

After Nian Shen hung up the phone, he looked towards that door.

He opened that door, "Prepare the anesthetic for her."

"Huh?" The doctor was stunned, "So she wants it after all?"

"Of course."

But Heather said, "No need—"

Nian Shen grabbed her hand, which was trying to stop the doctor, "What do you think you’re doing not getting an anesthetic?"

"I’m not afraid of pain."

"There’s no one in the world who isn’t afraid of pain, and you are a woman on top of that."

"Mr. Nian, I’m not your average woman." Does he know who she is, to say such a thing?

If it weren’t for the fact that he carried a similar vibe to himself, she wouldn’t have been so polite to him.

"I know, you’re stronger than they are. But if you can avoid this pain, why insist on enduring it?"

Heather has never been the kind of person who feels entitled to have a man pay for her, much less does she want to be that kind of person. So she honestly said, "Because I can’t afford it."

"Do you really think I’m the kind of boss who would begrudge the money for an anesthetic?"

"You’re not my boss—"

"Since I’ve invested in this movie, and you are part of the crew, how am I not your boss? It’s a work-related injury, of course, it can be reimbursed."

Heather’s retort was choked back by the doctor, "Girl, in this day and age, running into such a good boss, what else could you ask for? Since the boss has said it can be reimbursed, there’s no need to suffer for no reason. Do you think I’m joking with you? It really hurts."

Heather was pushed down by Nian Shen, who made her sit in the chair, "My employee is injured, it’s my responsibility to make sure she’s healed."

...

Leaving the hospital.

"You don’t need to come to the set these few days."

"I’m fine, I’ll be better by tomorrow—"

He cut her off, "I’m worried that your injury will affect the quality of the movie. With injuries like that, how can you do a series of stunts?"

For some reason, Heather, who usually had no reaction to the sneering words of those around her, felt a surge of anger rising up easily from the bottom of her heart after hearing Nian Shen’s words, and she said, "Is Mr. Nian blaming me for holding back the crew?"

"I never said that."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Nian, I’m very professional, and this injury on my hand isn’t much. I can perform any difficult action well. Goodbye, Mr. Nian. When I get my salary, I’ll return the money to you."

Heather had an indefatigable pride in her.

Nian Shen had offered to take her home, but by now, Heather had already walked away, clearly indicating she didn’t need him to do so.

She quickly disappeared from sight.

Yi Yang looked down and said, "Do you need me to follow Miss Hai?"
