Mila entered the set and was putting on makeup when Theo sent her a message. “I’m a doctor from the Cardiovascular Surgery Department. I don’t treat external injuries from a fall.”

Mila pursed her lips. Theo said the same thing as she did, but he was too straightforward. If he hadn’t been so handsome, he probably wouldn’t be able to find a girlfriend in this lifetime.

From the moment Elaine mentioned Theo, Mila already knew what she was thinking. She wanted to use the injury to get closer to Theo.

As her best friend, Mila felt that she had to help Elaine out. She sent Theo a message. “She’s already gone to your hospital. If you have time, keep an eye on her. She’s injured and it’s not convenient for her to walk around.”

Theo wrote, “Okay.”

Mila was relieved to see that reply. She closed her eyes and acted out the plot in her mind.

Today’s scene was the first meeting of the male and female leads, and Mila only had a small part. It was the scene of them going to the male lead’s house for dinner, and the parents of both sides got them engaged.

After putting on her makeup, Mila sat on the set and waited, watching George and Natalie film.

George had started his acting career very early and was a natural. He also handled his emotions very carefully. Every look could express his emotions. Natalie, on the other hand, was less unsatisfactory and even a little awkward.

As expected, Director Zager shouted “cut” after a while, looking displeased. He summoned Natalie and helped her analyze the plot.

Meanwhile, Mila was still reading her script. In fact, she had memorized every word of the script. She just wanted to dig out more emotions and create a vivid daughter of a rich family.

“Mila.” George sat next to her and opened a bottle of water. He took a sip and said, “You’re so hardworking!”

“Yes, it’s my first time playing the second female lead. I have to perform well.”

“Actually, I’ve seen your acting. You’re very good, but those roles don’t suit you very well.”

Mila smiled in embarrassment. “Thank you for complimenting my acting skills. I’m really honored.”

George started acting when he was ten. He was thirty now and had made dozens of movies and TV shows. He had a lot of fans and was popular in the industry. It would be good for Mila to build a good relationship with him.

Hearing Mila’s words, George smiled brightly. He suddenly moved closer to her and whispered in her ear, “If you have any difficulties on set, feel free to come to me. You’re welcome.”

Mila returned a smile and went back to her script. She was a married woman now. Even if George didn’t have any ideas, she would still keep her distance from him.

…

Capital Central Hospital.

Elaine got out of the taxi wearing a mask and sunglasses. She had already registered in advance and went straight to the floor where the cardiovascular department was. Not long after she arrived outside the consultation room, it was her turn.

She pushed the door open and limped in. Theo looked a little unhappy when he saw her. “Elaine, didn’t Mila tell you that I’m a cardiothoracic surgeon? It’s useless for you to come here. You’re wasting the real patients’ time.”

This was the first time Elaine had been scolded. She looked aggrieved. “I just want to look for you. I don’t trust anyone else.”

Theo rubbed his eyebrow. He couldn’t bear to reprimand her, so he said in a gentler tone, “The doctors in the central hospital are all top graduates from medical schools. Their medical skills are guaranteed. Don’t worry.”

When Elaine heard this, she immediately wailed, “I can’t. My leg hurts. I can’t walk!”

Theo was speechless.

“How did you get up here? Did you fly up?”

“Why don’t you carry me to the doctor?”

Theo glanced at her and said calmly, “I don’t have time.”

“Dr. Theo , I’m also a patient. You can’t be so heartless to me.”

Elaine had made an appointment to see Theo. Since she refused to leave, he couldn’t throw her out. He could only bend down in resignation to check her injuries.

Lu Yishan had sprained her ankle, and it was already red and swollen.

Theo gently pressed on the wound. “Does it hurt?”

“It hurts!” Elaine’s eyes were red as she stared at him.

“Get an X-ray. When the results are out, come and find me here.”

“Theo, thank you so much!” Elaine said with a smile, her eyes shining.

It didn’t take long for the results to come out. Fortunately, her bones weren’t injured, so Theo prescribed some ointment for her injuries.

By the time Elaine fetched the medicine, it was already noon. She knocked on the door again and walked into Theo’s consultation room. She sat opposite him and looked at him with her hand on her cheek. “Theo, let’s go for lunch.”
