Loving A STRANGER Chapter 453

Faith stopped for a second and didn't dare meet Kylie's eyes. "I didn't tell her to ask you those questions. She did that on her own initiative."
"Kylie, isn't this your agent?" Kate said all of a sudden.
"Not now." Kylie was calm.
Faith was respectful of Kate, so she explained with a smile. "I'm Vivian's agent now."
"Oh, you work for another actress now." Kate wore a sarcastic smile. "It's quite normal in this industry." Faith felt embarrassed but didn't dare argue with Kate.
They walked to the outside of the ward, and Faith knocked on its door. "Vivian, Kylie, and Ms. Green are here."
"Come on in, please!" Vivian sounded delighted.
Faith pushed the door open, and Kylie saw Vivian in a patient's clothing sitting on the bed at first glance. There were bruises on her face and neck, and she was still having an injection on the back of her hand.
Seeing Kylie and Kate walking inside, Vivian moved the quilt away and tried to get off the bed. "Thank you so much for visiting me..."
"Don't move!" Kylie stopped her at once. "You're a patient now, and you can stay in bed."
Kylie put down her gift on the bedside table, then walked to Vivian's side and helped her smooth her hair. By accident, Kylie noticed hickeys around her neck.
Vivian flushed a little and lifted her collars up. Kylie also pretended that she had seen nothing.
"Why are you so injured like that?" Kate frowned. "You are a very kind girl."
Hearing that, Vivian did what Faith told her to do and acted pitifully. "Ms. Green, to be honest with you, I've been through a lot when I just entered this industry, and I also had the idea to commit suicide, but..."

Vivian whimpered, "The rope suddenly broke when I wanted to hang myself. I realized at that moment that God didn't want me to kill myself for a reason!"
She held Kate's hand. "I swore to myself back then. No matter how hard my life would be in the future, I must stay strong and persistent!"
"So, when I saw the girl who wanted to kill herself that night, I ran to save her life without hesitation. I didn't expect she would attack me."
After that, it seemed Vivian didn't have the heart to blame that girl, so she added at once, "I believe she didn't do it on purpose. She wasn't in a good mood and lost control of herself. I'm glad that she's back to normal now."
Kate was also kind and warm-hearted. "You've done the right thing, but do protect yourself well if it happens again."
"Thanks, Ms. Green, I will," Vivian said.
Kylie stood aside, watching Vivian's acting in silence. She had to admit that Vivian indeed was a good actress.
No matter whether the story was persuasive or not, her performance was quite touching.
When Vivian almost finished her act, she sniffed, looking towards Kylie. "Kylie, could you please do me a favor?"
"Of course, as long as I can help." Kylie nodded with a smile.
"Um..." Vivian licked her lips and glanced at Faith. Faith then left the room.
Kate looked around and asked, "Should I leave too?"
"No, no, please stay." Vivian shook her hand. She touched her face, then looked at Kylie. "Kylie, I just heard from Faith that the supporting role in the show should be an actress from your studio before me?"
"Yeah, it should be Elizabeth's role," Kylie said. "Well, you relied on yourself to get the role, and you don't need to feel sorry about it."

"That's exactly what I hope you can help me," Vivian said with determination. "The shooting of Oh, Mother, already began, but my face isn't in good condition now. Please tell Elizabeth to play the role!"
Kylie was surprised. "Are you sure?" "Yes." Vivian nodded. "I do like this show, so I hope a good actress can replace me in it."
Kylie didn't know what to say. Vivian had to satisfy Harvey's creepy sexual need to get the role, but now she gave it up after she got it?
"I think you should talk to Director Wyatt about it," Kylie said, but she didn't say whether it was Bill or Harvey. However, Vivian's body trembled a little once Kylie mentioned Director Wyatt.
A touch of fear flashed by her eyes, and Kylie caught it.
Bill was an upright man. Although he had a quick temper, he seldom forced actresses to do something they didn't want to do. Was Harvey the reason why Vivian suddenly quit the job?
"I..." Vivian glanced at Kylie with timidity, then said in a low voice, "I'm just afraid an unqualified actress will replace me. It could ruin the show."
Kylie cocked her eyebrow.
"Well, if you insist, thank you." Kylie smiled.
"You're welcome. The role is hers, after all." Vivian looked relieved.
Kate nodded again. What Vivian had said today left a good impression on her.
"Have a good rest, Vivian," Kate said. "If I have any other good scripts, I promise I'll recommend you."
"Thank you so much, Ms. Green!" Vivian almost cried. The moment Kylie and Kate were gone, Vivian's face became cold. She gave a side glance at Kylie's gift, then snorted with disdain, "Do you think I'm a beggar?"
When Kylie and Kate walked to the gate of the hospital, those reporters were interviewing a girl. She cried and talked to the cameras that she felt so sorry for what she had done to Vivian, and she thanked Vivian for Vivian had saved her life.
"Since you're here now, why don't you say that to Vivian in person?" a reporter said.
"I don't want to disturb Miss Upton, and..." The girl stammered. "I feel too ashamed to see her now."
"Can you tell us what has happened?" another reporter asked.
"My boyfriend said he would marry me after our graduation, but he disappeared all of a sudden." The girl seemed to be in great pain.
Janet, at this moment, reached the microphone to the girl's face. "Even though your boyfriend disappeared, you still have your family. Why did you want to commit suicide?"
"My family is very poor, and I also have a younger brother. My parents wanted to use my betrothal gift to help my younger brother get married, but my boyfriend dumped me. I don't have much money myself...."

Cultivating Earth [Hiatus]
[This fiction is on indefinite hiatus. I'm currently acting as a 24-hour caregiver for my step-father who had a massive heart attack. I apologize for disappearing so quickly, but sometimes that's just life. I'll return as soon as possible. Sorry everyone!] Zhao Gang, after hundreds of thousands of years cultivating, has finally reached the penultimate threshold. He is ready to ascend to the level of True Immortal. Driven by the need for a place his enemies won't find him, Zhao Gang puts together an audacious plan. He has developed a revolutionary new formation which will allow him to ascend while on even the lowest planes. To avoid drawing attention, he has to choose a plane that is relatively desolate, however. He chooses Earth. Fast forward three thousand years. Zhao Gang discovers what his work has wrought - a cultivation-free culture that has delved the deep mysteries of creation - he can't help but think how this tiny little planet devoid of natural energy could affect the course of all creation. There's only one problem. For that to happen, he has to succeed in cultivating Earth. Notes: Chinese names should be ignored in the social context - they don't mean anything. Sorry for slaughtering such a beautiful tradition. This novel starts off slower than most. If the slow-roll isn't your thing, you might want to give this a pass. If it's not for you, I understand. Also, releases may be broken up into smaller chunks. The goal is 5k words, but definitely more than 4k. If you see a short release, be aware that more is probably coming. I'll be honest and say that I'm struggling with each new scene, if only because I want to balance the scope of vision with good pacing. I hope the work I put into it is worthwhile.
