Chapter 538: Chapter 538: Visiting
Even after saying all that, despite her uneasiness, Tiffany Lynch nods, "Alright, just spend more money on this when the time comes. I’ve had enough of those dim-witted morons online every day!"

Requesting time off not long after the shoot began, Richard Lee wouldn’t necessarily agree if it were someone else.
But considering Hannah spent so much time in the water last night, Richard Lee immediately agreed with a wave of his hand.
He also reminded Hannah to go to the hospital for a check-up.
Even though it’s summer, the temperature in the mountains isn’t low at night.
Hannah agreed and went to the hospital but not for treatment; instead, she went to visit a patient.
The public wasn’t notified about Hayes Edwards’ accident; hence his fans still assume he’s hard at work filming the drama. Any behind-the-scenes photos draw comments all saying, "Brother, you’ve worked hard."
The filming location was a bit secluded, so Hayes Edwards was sent to a hospital in a nearby county town, where there weren’t many people.
Hannah dressed in plain white sportswear, simply wore a baseball cap, didn’t even apply makeup. From a distance, she looked no different from an ordinary college student.
She came during the off-time for visits, so all the visitors had left.
The door wasn’t closed.
As Hannah stepped inside, she spotted a room full of flowers, all kinds and varieties, most of them sent by her colleagues from the drama team.
Hayes Edwards lay on the hospital bed in the middle, one leg in a cast and lifted high. He had a lollipop in his mouth and was engrossed in playing a game.
"Just put the food delivery over there. I can’t spare my hands now. Come back later if you need an autograph."
This sounded like a phrase he had repeated many times.
Hannah walked over and chuckled, "Seems like you’re recovering well."
Recognizing the familiar voice, Hayes finally took his eyes off the game.
With just a glance, he was shocked into dropping his lollipop, "You... Why are you here?"
He hastily closed his game, attempted to get up and strained his casted leg, grimacing in pain.
"Wasn’t it you who sent me a message asking me to come?" Hannah pulled a chair to sit beside Hayes Edwards’ bed.
For some reason, Hayes turned shy all of a sudden, keeping his head down and not daring to meet Hannah’s bright eyes, "I...I didn’t expect you to really come."
Hannah raised an eyebrow, looking at the man on the bed, "Why acting so coy even with a broken leg?"
Hayes quickly raised his head, "Who... who’s coy? I...I’m just... the wound hurts too much."
Hannah didn’t expose his lame lie, her gaze fell on his cast leg, and she asked, "How did you get injured?"
Hayes pursed his lips, probably finding it embarrassing, he didn’t really want to bring it up, "It’s... It’s just that there was a prop malfunction on the set, and I didn’t dodge in time."
Hannah didn’t miss Hayes’s evasive look, guessing that the situation wasn’t as simple as Hayes described.
The actual situation at that time was indeed very dangerous.
The prop needed that day was extremely realistic, and it required three people to lift due to its weight.
During filming, the prop hung on one side, and unless someone deliberately disturbed it, there wasn’t a chance of an accident. Even the director personally inspected it for safety.
Yet, an accident still happened during filming.
The moment the prop fell, thankfully, Hayes reacted quickly enough to avoid a head injury.
"You might have had to visit me in the morgue." Hayes joked, his tone relaxed, showing none of the fear and panic one would expect after having a brush with death.
