CHAPTER 38: CHAPTER 38: DO YOU NEED ME TO HELP YOU CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES?

The other side.

Bianca Lynch has already arrived at the company of the friend she used to livestream with.

Because the other party didn’t answer the phone, she went directly upstairs to find her.

The person was a bit surprised to see her.

"Joy, why did you come over?" The girl named Sasha walked out.

"Sasha, I have something to tell you." Bianca Lynch first glanced at the other people inside, then pulled Sasha outside.

"What’s up? So mysterious." Sasha asked curiously.

"I messaged you last night, why didn’t you reply?" Bianca Lynch first asked about this matter.

"Speaking of which, I’m speechless." Sasha said helplessly, "All the workers involved in the live work for ’Heavenly Sound’ in this batch had their phones taken away yesterday."

"What’s going on?" Bianca Lynch immediately felt something wasn’t right.

The ’Yesterday Once More’ stage is sanctioned.

Right at this moment.

It happens to be the workers on the ’Heavenly Sound’ live work.

"Actually, I’m not sure either." Sasha said, "They haven’t returned our phones yet, I had to borrow a phone outside to call my mom and assure her I was safe."

"I’m sorry, the company said it’s serious, I passed by the meeting room at noon and heard people inside discussing making confidentiality agreements."

Sasha noticed Bianca Lynch’s bad expression and worriedly held her hand.

Sasha said, "What’s wrong? Tell me and see if I can help you."

...

In the hospital room.

Serena Sterling wrinkled her nose and said, "Being such an old fragrance, why not quickly send it to my little table?"

Serena Sterling said that, reached out and set up the little table, then patted the table and looked at Ethan Lynch.

Ethan Lynch raised his eyebrows, alright, great!

She acts innocent in front of his sister all day long, but when it’s just the two of them, she starts being witty.

However, he likes it that way.

If it weren’t because she has feelings for Julian Lawson, he would have made a move a long time ago.

Thinking about it, Ethan Lynch sat on a chair on the side, put the lunch box on her table, leisurely, one by one, took them out and arranged them.

"All set, little Serena, time for dinner." He said, making a "please" hand gesture.

This is really treating her like a kindergarten kid.

Serena Sterling didn’t mind, grabbed the chopsticks and started the meal.

Today’s dishes are nice, comparable to the lean meat porridge Bianca Lynch brought her the other day.

She casually asked, "Where did you buy this? I’d like to note the name."

Ethan Lynch just smiled: "Like it?"

"Yes." Serena nodded.

"Then tell me when you want to eat next time, and I’ll buy it for you." Ethan Lynch said with a smile.

Serena suddenly choked.

She coughed quite a bit, and knocked a plate on the table, spilling some soup on her clothes.

Ethan Lynch patted her back, and handed her a tissue.

"Saying a couple of sentences and you’re choking like this." Ethan Lynch was a bit speechless.

Serena finally eased up, took the tissue to wipe, and said, "Brother Ethan, you better not, just today with Joy gone, otherwise I wouldn’t dare eat anything you bring."

Ethan Lynch lightly tapped Serena’s forehead with his finger: "You’re speaking in a way that makes me feel a bit sad."

Serena couldn’t say more, just gave him a helpless look.

Seeing quite a bit of soup spilled, Serena wanted to go to the bathroom to change clothes.

Ethan Lynch reached out to help her.

Serena tried to push twice but couldn’t push him away, so she just went with it.

He couldn’t possibly follow her into the bathroom.

The single hospital room is divided into two parts; one part is the hospital bed side, the other is a balcony separated by a wave-patterned glass door, balancing privacy while letting sunlight in.

There’s a bathroom on the balcony.

Serena walked into the bathroom, Ethan Lynch waited on the balcony.

In the bathroom, Serena looked at the clothes in her hands, thought about it, and finally spoke.

"Brother Ethan, Joy and I have played together since we were little, we’re really good friends, you’re her brother, I also consider you as my brother."

Through the bathroom door, only then did Serena dare to speak out.

"So, the jokes Joy says about compensation and all, don’t take them seriously."

Just one door away, Ethan Lynch stood outside, his smile gradually faded.

The midday sunlight shone at his feet, and his eyes were a quiet darkness.

He was silent for about a second.

Then, he nonchalantly said, "Got it, hasn’t Joy always been this way, saying things impulsively."

Serena inside the bathroom listened to Ethan Lynch’s voice with no change, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid Ethan Lynch would take it seriously.

Because all along, she only regarded him as Bianca Lynch’s brother, apart from that, nothing else.

Lately, Bianca Lynch has been finding various chances to match them, she’s mentioned it to Bianca many times, but Bianca still does as she pleases.

It’s good to say it clearly today.

To avoid awkwardness in the future.

Thinking this, Serena quickly changed her clothes.

"Haha, from your voice, were you scared by Joy?" Just one door away, Ethan Lynch’s voice came through, "Can you walk independently? Can you change clothes on your own? Should I call someone for you?"

Hearing Ethan Lynch’s teasing tone, Serena completely relaxed.

Still that annoying tone, it shows there’s nothing wrong.

Thus, she said in annoyance, "I can change, no need for you to care!"

Serena soon changed her clothes, holding the dirty clothes, she opened the bathroom door and glared at Ethan Lynch standing outside smiling at her.

Still maintaining that careless look, he reached out: "Your Majesty, please hold on."

Serena begrudgingly put her hand on for support, the two walked towards the wave-patterned glass door.

Through the wave-patterned glass door, she seems to vaguely see someone standing at the hospital room’s door.

But she couldn’t see clearly.

They opened the balcony door and came out.

The wind blowing through made Serena shiver a bit.

She looked at the opened room door, perhaps due to the wind, it continued to gently sway.

"Brother Ethan, was the room door open just now?" Serena asked.

"Don’t remember." Ethan Lynch also didn’t pay much attention.

He went straight over and closed the room door.

Serena nodded, didn’t think much, perhaps she was mistaken, or maybe it was just someone passing from outside, this is a hospital, people come and go, it’s very normal.

Outside the hospital room, Julian Lawson walked stiffly to the corner.

Leaning against the corner wall, his lips were pursed tightly.

The teasing voices from the balcony were still in his ears, through the wave-patterned glass door, he could vaguely see the two people leaning close together.

Is it her trick again?

Purposely designed for him to see her leaning close to others, trying to make him jealous?

It was already odd when he asked for Serena’s room number at the hospital reception.

Said it would take some time to check Serena’s room number, had they already received the news by then?

Purposely let him go upstairs, then put on a show for him to see.

Julian Lawson closed his eyes, his fists clenched so tight that his knuckles turned white.
