Chapter 31 Heart Disease
In a few seconds, the call was hung up!
Kristen was flustered. She had been thinking too much. What could have happened to this man? He had left her behind on purpose!
She decided that after finishing filming in the Rocky Mountain, she would go back and terminate the contract!
Kristen was mad after being hung up on. She didn’t sleep well all night.
The next day, after putting on makeup and changing clothes in the hotel, the crew went up the mountain. After entering the mountain, there was no signal on the phone again.
The environment on the mountain was too bad. Anna said with a worried face, “Kristen, if you need anything, remember to tell me immediately.”
“I know. Don’t worry! It’s nothing.”
“By the way, I saw Taylor and Flora looking in our direction just now. I don’t know what they’re talking about. They’re probably up to something again. You have to be careful.”
Kristen looked in Taylor’s direction, and her eyes flickered.
Before she came, she had withdrawn Ethan’s bodyguards out of anger, but now she was regretting it. She didn’t know what Taylor would do.

At the same time, in the ward on the top floor of Nangania Hospital, Ethan opened his eyes and woke up. The pungent smell of disinfectant wafted into his nose, and the man stood up with a slight frown.
“Ethan, you’re finally awake. I’m so worried.” Xenos looked tired and worried.
Ethan rubbed his eyebrows and asked in a deep, mellow voice, “How long was I in a coma?”
“It’s been two nights!” Xenos checked Ethan’s physical condition and tried to persuade him. “I told you before, you can’t get angry easily. Why don’t you…”
With that, Ethan got out of bed. “Where’s my phone?”
Xenos threw the phone on the table to him. “Well, I’ve told Jacob about the company’s affairs. Kristen called you last night, but I accidentally hung up. You explain to her yourself.”
Ethan picked up his phone and immediately dialed Kristen’s number, but he couldn’t get through.
“Don’t tell me that your coma that night has something to do with Kristen?” Xenos narrowed her eyes slightly, and then her face was full of anger. “Ethan, you know your illness. You shouldn’t be angry. I’ve reminded you many times that you should treat everything calmly, don’t worry…”
“Alright, shut up!”
This attitude made Xenos so angry that he wanted to hit someone! But he dared not.
Ethan got out of bed, put on his coat, and was about to leave. Then he stopped and asked, “Haven’t you found M yet?”
“Not yet… This person’s traces are unpredictable. After investigating for so long, we don’t even know if it’s a man or a woman. It’s estimated that it will take some time. So, remember, don’t act like the night before yesterday.”
Ethan was suffering from a common heart attack. Once he was stimulated, he would fall into a coma.
Originally, it was not a big deal because of the Collins family. In the past, Mr. Collins had been fooling around with a secretary and gave birth to Ethan. Ethan’s mother died the moment she gave birth to him.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
When Mrs. Collins found out the truth, she almost strangled Ethan to death. It was Master Collins who had saved him and brought him home.
Mrs. Collins was worried that Ethan would block Steve’s way, so she had poisoned him since he was a child.
Even if part of the poison had been discharged, Xenos still didn’t dare to do this heart transplant surgery.
Perhaps only the miracle-working doctor, M, had a 100% chance of winning.
Ethan only had around two years left to live, but if his heart was stimulated, it could be even shorter… Xenos lowered her eyes, her expression sad.
“I see. Thank you for last night. Don’t tell Kristen about these things.”
Xenos was speechless. He knows about Miss Oliver’s temper. What if she angers Ethan again!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ethan was about to leave when he ran into Steve on the first floor.
Their eyes met and the surrounding atmosphere seemed to become a little gloomy.
“Ethan, what a coincidence. Why are you in the hospital?” Steve walked over with a smile.
“It’s none of your business.”
“Since you’re here, why don’t you go upstairs to see Grandpa? He misses you a lot!”
Ethan turned around and took two steps forward.
Steve spoke again, “Ethan, did you know? Grandpa doesn’t have much time left. Just because he has been protecting you over the years, the Collins Group has only endured for TNK Group. If you want to take revenge for your mother, I advise you not to waste your energy. If you continue to be so persistent, TNK Group will be screwed along with you.”
“Is that so?” Ethan turned around and sneered, his handsome face filled with ridicule, “Then we’ll wait and see.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left without hesitation. After getting into the car, Ethan called Jacob.
“President… Ah? Miss Healey, I heard Anna say they went to the Rocky Mountain to shoot.”
Hanging up the phone, Ethan frowned slightly. No wonder Kristen couldn’t get through to him. Thinking of what had happened the night before yesterday and the fact that she had been hung up by Xenos, this little lover was probably furious.
Ethan did not contact Kristen again. He knew that the little Ancestor was angry and would ignore him.
……
On the other side, A group of people returned to the hotel in the evening. Kristen was exhausted and lay on the bed. She didn’t know how long she had been awake and almost fell asleep. She reluctantly got up and was about to take a shower.
As soon as she stood up, Kristen paused and narrowed her eyes.
She had always been sensitive to fragrance. She didn’t notice it before, but when she sniffed carefully, she found there was something wrong with the room…
Kristen immediately extinguished the mosquito repellent incense in the room.
She furrowed her brows. The incense had been brought over by the production team, and it had probably been tampered with by someone. There was no need to think about who it was since it was obvious.
Taylor, what was she trying to do?
Just when Kristen was confused, she heard a sound behind her. She turned around and saw two men opening the door of the bathroom.
They wore masks, but the red hair and yellow hair could tell they were not old. They were probably gangsters in the town.
The yellow-hair said playfully, “You’re quite cautious!”
Kristen didn’t expect someone was hiding in the bathroom of her room. Her face changed, and she took two steps back and looked at them warily.
“What do you want?” Kristen clenched her fingers uneasily. She had learned kick-boxing, but she had inhaled too much fragrant powder just now. Now, she felt weak all over. She was afraid that she was no match for the two of them.
“What do you think?”
The two of them exchanged glances and were about to act.
Kristen picked up the cup on the table and threw it at him. Then, she ran towards the door.
“Help, help!”
As soon as she opened the door, she felt she had bumped into a wall of human flesh before she could even finish her screaming.
There was a sharp pain in Kristen’s nose. She gasped and looked up at the clear silhouette.
“Ethan? Why are you here?” Kristen clutched her nose in confusion.
