Reborn on Wedding Night: Flirting the Cold Bigshot into Blushes-Chapter 299: The Final Two Scenes

In the half month since Nancy Allen left, even though she hasn’t contacted Godfery Shaw, she’s aware of his whereabouts.

When she contacts her family, her parents would say, "Godfery Shaw has a peculiar temperament, but he’s good to Sophie. He seems very upset. Just come back after a few days of being angry."

When she contacts the children, they would say, "Today I built a new Lego set with Mr. Shaw, and Emily Allen’s brother joined too. Mom, when are you coming back?"

When she contacts Emma Lewis, Emma would say, "You’ve had enough. If you don’t come back soon, the people at Imperial Garden will be scared to death."

Everyone, intentionally or unintentionally, mentions Godfery Shaw to her; it’s hard for her not to know.

Entangled over two lives, even if it’s really a case of mistaken identity, they should part amicably. Leaving like this with Godfery Shaw knowing nothing is too irresponsible.

Meanwhile, the final two scenes on location are about to start.

In the drama, the first love becomes a victim of online harassment.

Videos of her watching someone die, pushing a child, and not giving up her seat on a bus are posted online.

The "watching someone die" incident was the male lead jumping into the water by himself, and she couldn’t swim. The "pushing a child" was the stepmother’s child pricking her with a needle. As for not giving up her seat, she was so ill she could barely stand, let alone give up her seat.

But the first love did not explain, because she was on the brink of death.

In the script, her death causes the male lead to mature overnight, becoming essential to the plot’s development.

The first love’s young life is nearing its end, and she avoids everyone, dragging her worn-out body into the mountains.

The script writes that in the end, the first love doesn’t want to see anyone and quietly dies in the deserted mountains.

Nancy Allen feels she can actually understand this character.

Facing illness, she struggled and tried her best, but all in vain.

She accepts no affections, indifferent to people and things, because she has long prepared herself for death.

On the eve of her death, she went into the mountains alone.

She wanted to leave quietly; they were too noisy.

In the scene, dressed in pure white like mourning clothes, Nancy Allen walks step by step toward the depths of the mountains.

Her walk is arduous yet resolute.

Elijah Jefferson instinctively steps forward two paces, his breath slightly tense, feeling he shouldn’t have let Nancy play this role.

This scene reminds him of five years ago, when Nancy was calmly walking toward death like this.

The entire crew fell silent.

They suddenly realized that the first love accused by many as unkind hadn’t actually done anything wrong from the beginning. She merely didn’t accept the male lead, didn’t want to interact with the outside world, she just wanted to live quietly on her own—is that wrong?

The world was so hostile to her, it was saddening.

"Cut!"

With the director’s order, the scene ended.

Everyone seemed immersed in emotion, staying silent for a while.

Nancy Allen slowly walked back from the woods, her expression still calm and indifferent.

Her pale complexion made it hard to tell if it was from makeup or if she was naturally so pale.

Director Harris, usually known for his steely heart when filming, looked at Nancy with some unwillingness, "For the final scene, would you like to wait before filming?"

The final scene is a scene of the first love committing suicide.

Nancy Allen shook her head and refused, writing to Elijah Jefferson with pen and paper, "Book me a ticket for tomorrow, please. I want to go back tomorrow."

Elijah’s heart skipped, both joyful and melancholic—joyful that Nancy was finally recovering, melancholic that he thought they could travel together for a while, but after just one city, they were going back.

"Okay, once you’re done filming, we’ll book the tickets home."

The crew took a fifteen-minute break before the second take.

In the scene, Nancy had already reached the mountaintop.

Looking down from the summit for a while, she started picking wildflowers and tied them into a bouquet with the scarf from her wrist.

Removing the scarf, everyone was shocked to see scars on her wrist.

Unwilling to wait for death to claim her, she had tried to end her life but was saved. Her father said she only knew how to cause trouble for others, the stepmother said if she was going to die, she should die far away.

This time, she obediently found a quiet place far away to die.

Holding the bouquet, she slowly walked toward the edge of the cliff.

She turned around and smiled at the camera for the first time before leaping off.

The bouquet of wildflowers fell beside the cliff, like flowers for a grave.

Director Harris stared at the monitor, taking several seconds to return to his senses before calling, "Cut."

Many members of the crew were moved to tears.

They were not new to filming tragic scripts, yet Nancy’s turning to smile inexplicably stirred a shock in their hearts, as if they truly felt her acceptance of facing death.

Elijah Jefferson had already run quickly forward.

Director Harris shouted from behind, "Why so nervous? She’s rigged to a wire harness, and there’s a mat below."

Elijah did not listen and still quickly ran forward.

He reached the edge of the cliff, looked down, and saw Nancy sitting and resting on an air cushion.

Below the cliff was a protruding platform not very high; Nancy was strapped to a wire harness with thick mats below, so it was actually not dangerous.

Elijah was just about to go down the rope when he heard commotion above.

"Don’t move!"

"Hands up."

At the sudden shouts, Elijah looked up sharply.

He saw a group of armed men suddenly appear.

This group wore tattered clothes and had dirty, bloodstained faces as if they had rolled in the dirt, with a fierce look, pointing guns at the crew.

One thing was clear: these were desperate criminals.

Director Harris’s face had changed; it was also his first time encountering such a situation.

This city is close to the border, prone to unrest, but their location was within national borders and typically safe, protected by border troops.

Director Harris had been here for many years and even ventured further yet never faced anything like this.

He tried to maintain composure, "What are you trying to do? This is illegal entry."

The group laughed heartily, "Old guy, can’t you see what we’re holding? We’re using the real thing, why would we care about illegal entry?"

Everyone’s hearts raced with panic, except for Scarlett Walker and Violet Walker, who exchanged a quiet glance filled with both tension and excitement.

Elijah quickly slid to the platform below the cliff, whispering to Nancy, "Something’s happened above."

Elijah and Nancy were almost like fish out of a net, in a place unseen by the intruders.

Elijah thought of calling for help but found no signal on his phone.

Nancy took out her phone, finding the same lack of signal.

Using the phone’s notepad, Nancy typed, "There’s a signal station here; it’s impossible to have no signal. I suspect these people were prepared in advance, using equipment to block signals."

Elijah, hearing this, became even more serious.
