Chapter 357: Chapter 357

Angela Thornton wasn’t aware of the chaos happening in the company, caused by Anna.

She had been busy shooting her new drama, spending most of her time with the film crew.

But there was some good news; Mary told her that Faye Duval had woken up in the hospital.

Anna Thornton was overjoyed and initially planned to take time off to visit the hospital. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel⸺fire.net

However, she soon dismissed the idea.

"Anna, haven’t you been worried about that girl’s condition all along? Now that she’s awake, aren’t you going to check on her?"

"Let’s wait until she’s a bit better!"

Anna Thornton was worried that Faye Duval, who had been in a coma for so long, might still be particularly weak. If she still thought she was a man, visiting her now might give her a shock, and if her body couldn’t handle it...

"Can you go have a look for me? Remind the doctors to use the best medicine so she can recover quickly."

Just like that, another week passed. After the doctors confirmed that Faye Duval’s condition had stabilized and improved, Anna Thornton felt that not visiting her would be unjustifiable.

But before going, Anna was quite conflicted, as it was her first time being liked by a girl, and she didn’t have any experience.

Especially since this girl, under a mistaken belief, had taken a bullet for her and almost lost her life.

Anna Thornton felt she owed it to her and thought it wouldn’t be good to just go and upset her.

So after much consideration, she decided on a gender-neutral outfit, wore a cap to cover her now considerably longer hair, and didn’t even bother with makeup.

When Anna Thornton and Mary appeared at the hospital room’s door, Faye Duval was watching TV.

She held the remote in her hand, turning to see Mary, who had entered first.

During Faye Duval’s hospital stay, Mary visited her often, and they had become quite familiar with each other.

However, upon seeing Anna Thornton entering, she seemed visibly taken aback.

Faye Duval quickly put down the remote and prepared to get out of bed.

Mary stopped her, "It’s fine, just lie down. We just came to see how you’re doing?"

"I’m good! Mary, could you help me raise the bed a bit? I want to sit up."

Mary raised the hospital bed and added a pillow so Faye Duval could sit and directly face Anna Thornton, who was sitting by the bedside.

Perhaps because the young girl’s injuries were severe and she had lost a lot of blood before, her complexion remained pale, yet she surprisingly did not blush facing Anna Thornton.

"How are you feeling?" Anna asked her.

"Much better. I heard from doctors and nurses that it’s thanks to you guys transferring me from Veridia’s hospital to Aethelgard that I’ve recovered so quickly, and my medical bills have been covered by you."

"Don’t mention it; you got hurt because of me. It’s my duty to take care of you," Anna Thornton reassured her. "If you need anything, just tell me or Mary."

Upon hearing this, Faye Duval chuckled involuntarily.

Anna Thornton: "???" Was there something funny about what she just said?

"You don’t have to deliberately roughen your voice when talking to me; I already know you’re a girl."

Anna Thornton turned to Mary, who quickly raised her hands, "I didn’t say anything!"

"It’s not Mary’s fault; she truly didn’t tell me anything. I saw it on TV myself."

During her hospital stay, Faye Duval had a lot of free time and couldn’t stay out of bed for long, so her main form of entertainment every day was watching TV dramas.

"I’ve been following the drama you starred in and realized I was really silly not being able to tell you were cross-dressing."

Faye said this as she picked up the remote, switching to the channel broadcasting Anna Thornton’s drama.

"So, the show has been airing so quickly!"

Anna Thornton had been so busy filming her new drama that she hadn’t noticed the drama she shot with Wyatt Jagger had already aired and was now on episode eight.

Mary knew about it, but Anna Thornton didn’t get along well with Wyatt Jagger during filming, and their relationship was awkward, so the production didn’t ask them to promote together.

"This drama is really hot now. When I go out and walk around, I find eight out of ten hospital rooms are watching it, even the nurses are so into it."

Anna Thornton was immersed in shooting in the deep palace, not paying much attention to the outside world.

Mary had reminded her that recently, more fans were gathering outside the filming set, which she thought were fans of the popular stars involved.

They couldn’t be blamed for being behind the times because even Wyatt Jagger hadn’t promoted much for this drama.

Maybe it was because the scheme to use it against Anna Thornton didn’t work, making Wyatt Jagger feel awkward. During his later interviews, he never mentioned the drama, acting like he had never been part of it.

Wyatt Jagger was the biggest name in the drama, with the production initially relying heavily on his fanbase for promotion.

Other actors were either unknown newcomers or, in Anna Thornton’s case, caught in a scandal and criticized harshly.

The production had little hope, they barely dared to promote, and lacked extra funds.

Who would have thought that under such circumstances, the drama would become a runaway hit...

After episode eight, it started trending three to four times daily!

Fans formed large groups for shipping, calling Wyatt Jagger and Anna Thornton ’husbands’.

[Saw gossip news showing Anna Thornton’s cross-dressing look before, thought it was cool! Didn’t expect to be even cooler in the drama in action!]

[Anna Thornton is truly a gem! Her acting is so good! She can be both suave and refined! She’s so attractive, even Charlotte is so captivating in every move!]

’Charlotte’ is the name of Anna Thornton’s character in the drama, Charlotte Lynn! The male lead jokingly calls her Charlotte, and fans love to call her that too.

[I think she’s so sexy and alluring in female attire, her gaze alone can make men go weak! As a male, she’s charming enough to make girls go faint; is she some kind of enchantress? I hear fox spirits are gender-fluid, appealing to both genders.]

[Whether Anna Thornton is a fox spirit, I don’t know, but she and Wyatt Jagger are such a perfect match! I don’t care, I believe my ship is real!]

[Ahhhhh, no words, hubby, I love you forever!]

Recently, Anna Thornton’s Weibo was flooded with comments like these.

The surge in fan numbers was a reminder to her that her current popularity was indeed quite good.

Soon after, Mary received a request from the production team for promotion, asking Anna Thornton and Wyatt Jagger to participate in a game livestream.

Previously there was no hope, so barely any promotion was done.

Now that the drama itself was a hit, naturally, they wanted to capitalize on this.

The story mainly depicted a group of young men and women fighting for their esports dreams, and after it became popular, a number of gaming companies approached with collaboration offers.

Mary thought Anna’s gaming was decent, and since the livestream wouldn’t take long, she could ask for leave from the drama set, and accepted the offer on Anna’s behalf.

However, things were slightly complicated on Wyatt Jagger’s side.

And this complication stemmed from Marilyn Ford!
