Ch. 101: Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 101

Chapter 101

Siena glanced at Kevin lying in the hospital bed, her expression tense.

If he's interested in this girl, it means he still thinks about Bianca.

That’s a good sign.

Lola was focused on Kevin and said to Siena, "Kevin needs someone to take care of him. How about I stay and look after him?"

"No way," Siena quickly responded. "You're pregnant. You need to take care of yourself. Come back to Edwards' house with me. Kevin has people to take care of him."

Lola wanted to stay and take care of Kevin, hoping to grow closer to him now that Norah wasn't around. But with Siena insisting, she couldn’t argue. "Alright then," she said reluctantly.

She looked back at Kevin, disappointed but hopeful that once he recovered, they'd see each other more often.

Siena was worried about Bianca. Kevin was injured and in the hospital, and things were tense between him and Norah. If Bianca showed up, she might have a chance.

Siena had always wanted Bianca as her daughter-in-law. So, she quickly messaged Bianca: "Bianca, Kevin is hurt. Come quickly."

Bianca was in the middle of getting her makeup done on set, preparing for a scene with a well-known director. Although she wasn’t the lead actress, her role was significant, and Kevin had helped her get it.

If the show aired, it could be her big break. Bianca was focused on her career, determined to make the most of this opportunity to reach Kevin's level.

Just as she received the message from Siena, her expression changed drastically, and she stood up abruptly, almost causing the makeup artist to mess up her eyebrows.

Her assistant said, "Ms. Lynch, what's going on? We're in the middle of makeup."

Bianca sat back down, her face serious, gripping her phone tightly. "Kevin's injured. He needs someone to take care of him. I have to go."

The assistant was shocked. "Ms. Lynch, you're about to film a crucial scene. If you leave now, you'll miss this big opportunity, and Sasha and the others are watching. Don't act impulsively!"

Bianca was torn. This was her chance, yet she didn’t want to miss another opportunity to be there for Kevin. Everything she was doing was to win Kevin’s heart.

She wanted him to see that she was the one meant to be by his side.

"No, I have to go to the hospital," Bianca decided, standing up. "Cleo, tell the director there's an emergency. I need him to delay filming for a day."

The assistant protested, "Ms. Lynch..."

But Bianca was firm. "I can shoot any time, but Kevin has done so much for me. He needs to know my value, and I must go to the hospital to take care of him!"

She wiped off the makeup that had taken an hour to put on.

The director saw her and yelled, "Bianca, what are you doing? We’re about to start filming, and you’ve taken off all your makeup!"

Bianca replied, "I have to go to the hospital."

"What about the shoot?" the director asked, frustrated.

"Kevin is in the hospital, and I need to check on him," Bianca said, worried.

The director, knowing Kevin was behind her role, had to let her go, even though he was annoyed.

"Alright, go then," he said, clearly upset but accepting.

Bianca was relieved she didn’t lose the role and promised, "Thank you, director. After the show wraps, Kevin and I will take you out for dinner."

She left quickly, while the other actors grumbled.

"Director, why does the whole crew have to wait just because of her? I didn’t even visit my sick mother!" one actor complained.

The director sighed, "Because she’s Bianca, and she has connections."

"Bianca always gets special treatment," Sasha’s assistant muttered.

Sasha, though frustrated, shrugged it off. "The director said so. Bianca’s different. Some people are just born to be stars."

Bianca’s role was a major part, and she already had a better setup than the others. Kevin’s influence made sure she got the best of everything.

Other actors had to accept it. They couldn’t do anything but offer her respect, knowing Kevin backed her up.

Kevin lay in his hospital bed, not getting better. In fact, he felt worse.

Kian, his assistant, said, "Mr. Edwards, you haven’t eaten all day. Please, have something."

Kevin's face was cold as he looked at his phone. No messages from Norah, only work emails and some polite well-wishes. He was disappointed.

"Has Norah been here?" Kevin asked Kian.

"No, sir," Kian replied. "Many people came to visit, but I told them you were resting. Mrs. Edwards hasn’t shown up."

Kevin's expression darkened. He thought about how Norah used to worry even about a small cut on his hand, but now she didn’t care at all. She had openly said she wanted a divorce in front of her parents.

Anger and frustration built up in him. He almost broke the drip line from squeezing it too hard.

Kian noticed the blood starting to flow back into the IV line and quickly adjusted it. "Mr. Edwards, please, you have to calm down, or the blood will back up into the bottle."

Kevin’s thoughts were consumed with Norah’s absence and how distant she had become.
