The Beauty and the Brain

Chapter 126

Christopher rubbed his leg and laughed, saying, “No more nonsense, I’ll be discharged from the

hospital in a couple of days.”

Marie sat to one side, smiling as she said, “I still have to thank you for saving Sasha.”

Christopher glanced at Sasha and joked, “It’s my honor to save a popular celebrity!”

In the past few days, Sasha was bored in the hospital and often went to visit Christopher. As a result,

the two of them became very close.

Marie saw that Sasha was not seriously injured, advised her to rest well, and reminded her that she

needed to return to the production team to continue filming in a few days. Then, Marie went back to

the studio.

When Darwin and Sabrina entered, Sasha and Christopher were chatting. Sasha was peeling an apple

for Christopher, and they laughed while discussing the plot.

Sabrina had a bandage on her arm, but she was still smiling. “Sasha, what are you talking about? You

seem so happy!”

Sasha turned to look at Sabrina and laughed, “We were just talking about how you killed Jasper in

the play!”

Sabrina stuck out her tongue and said, “It’s for the plot! Definitely not my intention!”

Darwin, with a dark expression, said, “Even when you’re injured, you can’t stay still for a moment. Why

are you running around everywhere?”

Sasha had a puzzled look on her face, “I didn’t run around randomly. I just went next door for a bit.

Besides, the doctor said I could be discharged in a couple of days.”

Darwin choked, glared at her, and said, “I see you’re not in any trouble either! You’re still able to peel

apples!”

Darwin walked over, snatched the apple from Sasha’s hand, and stuffed it into Christopher’s hand,

saying, “A grown man eating an apple shouldn’t peel it! It’s not that dirty! You won’t get sick from eating

it!!

Christopher was yelled at, confused, Sasha glared at Darwin. “Darwin, are you sick? What’s your

problem with me peeling apples?”

Christopher comforted Sasha, “It’s alright, Sasha, don’t worry. I usually eat apples without peeling

them too, so let’s not argue.”

Sabrina also pulled Darwin aside and whispered softly, “Darwin, don’t be angry. Let Sasha take care

of Christopher, after all, he saved her.”

Darwin snorted, “Yeah, someone saved you! You should repay them properly, Sasha!”

He viciously bit down on the words “Sasha” that Christopher had just called out, furious and

frustrated.

Sasha looked at Sabrina shaking Darwin’s hand and shouted angrily, “Of course I’ll repay him! Just

leave me alone!”

Darwin, with a cold expression, kicked a chair aside and walked out of the ward. Sabrina followed

him, chasing after him. The door closed with a loud “bang.”

Sasha had a cold expression, lowered her head and peeled another apple. She handed it to

Christopher and said, “Eat this.”

Christopher took the apple, hesitated a bit, and asked, “You and Darwin… you guys…”

Sasha shook her head and said, “It’s nothing, I’m just a bit tired. I’ll go back and rest first, and I’ll

come see you again tomorrow.”

Darwin arrived downstairs and drove Sabrina back to her condominium with a car full of groceries

they had just bought at the supermarket. Since Sabrina had dislocated her arm, Darwin helped her

carry the groceries upstairs. Sabrina wanted to invite him to stay for a meal, but Darwin declined.

After going downstairs, Darwin drove straight to Maris Entertainment. As soon as he entered, he sat Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

down in Marie’s office and exclaimed, “When is Sasha getting discharged from the hospital? Are we

still filming this movie or not?”

Marie looked at him with a puzzled expression, “Sasha was injured, didn’t you say to let her rest for a

couple more days?”

Darwin choked and said, “Then go home and rest! Why stay in the hospital all the time? Hospital

beds are in high demand! Can she not occupy medical resources?”

Marie asked, “Darwin, who upset you?”

Darwin leaned on the sofa, kicking his legs. “Nobody upset me! I just wanted to act! Can I still work or

not?”

Marie commented, “Pigs might fly! And when did you want to work?”

Darwin, feeling annoyed, shook his car keys and asked, “That Christopher, the one who plays Jasper,

is he about to die? Is his part almost wrapped? Can we hurry up, finish filming, and leave?”

Marie suddenly realized something. Was it Christopher who had provoked him?

Did he become unhappy because Christopher was hospitalized with Sasha? He came here to vent his

anger.

“Darwin, Christopher saved Sasha, so it’s only right for Sasha to take care of him a bit,” Marie said.

“I know, I know! Wasn’t it just protecting her when she fell? Any man would do that. Does everyone

really need to praise him? How else should Sasha thank him? Devote her life to him?” Darwin was so

angry he wanted to blow up the hospital.

“Who knows, maybe little girls nowadays just like a hero saving a damsel in distress?” Marie shrugged.

“Damn it! Was Sasha a damsel in distress? Sasha was totally a hero! She was so manly! She didn’t

need anyone to save her!” Darwin cursed angrily.

He was just annoyed. Christopher had only known Sasha for a few days, right?

Every time he opened or closed his mouth, it was about Sasha. Sasha even peeled apples for him. I

have never eaten an apple peeled by Sasha; I have only experienced the cream cake that Sasha had

smeared on my face.

Marie smiled helplessly, “Darwin, when will you start seeing Sasha as a girl? Maybe then there

wouldn’t be so many troubles…”

Darwin was taken aback. He hadn’t thought of Sasha as a girl, had he?

But I was clearly protecting her! I even scolded Carly and Shirley for Sasha’s sake!

“Um… Marie?” Darwin’s voice suddenly became quieter.

Marie looked at him in shock, “What are you doing?”

Darwin rubbed his hands together and asked, “If I treat Sasha better, will she distance herself from

Christopher?”

Marie shook her head, “Why does Sasha need to stay away from Christopher? They’re just ordinary.

friends.”

“But I don’t like Sasha being friends with him!” Darwin exclaimed, raising his voice.

“What do you like then?” Marie asked helplessly as she looked at him.

“I like Sasha just as much as I like being alone!” blurted out Darwin.

Marie was stunned, and so was Darwin.

What did he just say?
