"LoriaLaura, how's your wound? Has your fever gone down?"
Peach pushed the door open and came in, carrying lunch.
"I still have a bit of a fever. The wound should be fine, though."
Peach placed the thermos and paper bag she was holding onto the coffee table, then worriedly reached out to touch Laura Lowell's forehead. "Hmm, you do still have a slight fever."
"By the way, Jolene had to leave on a sudden business trip, so she can't come. Before she left, she told me to be sure to take good care of you."
Jolene Joyce was Laura Lowell's agent. And though she'd been busy as a spinning top these past few days, she was aware of everything going on with Laura.
Including what happened that night with Aiden Shaw.
Laura Lowell washed her hands and had just sat down on the sofa to eat lunch when she heard Peach gasp in alarm next to her.
"It's over, LoriaLaura! The photos of you and that handsome guy... they've been leaked."
Peach pointed at her phone screen, her jaw dropping in shock. "Oh my god, you actually kissed that handsome guy that night! And... you were clinging to him and wouldn't let go."
Laura Lowell frowned slightly, put down her chopsticks, and leaned over to take a look.
A mouthful of old blood instantly caught in her throat; she felt like she could cough up a lung any second.
'Dammit, which son of a bitch took these photos?'
'But... she actually had the gall... to kiss Dr. Shaw.'
'Laura Lowell, oh, Laura Lowell, when you get drunk, you really know how to court disaster.'
'She had to admit defeat. A complete and total surrender.'
Laura Lowell took a long, deep breath, unable to hide the regret on her face. "Do you think Jolene... is going to kill me?"
"Definitely," Peach said with a firm nod.
Laura Lowell blinked her glistening, watery eyes, her mind a complete mess.
A glance at her Weibo comments showed that things had exploded. Fans of all kinds were scrambling to ask if she was in a relationship and who the man in the photos was.
[Our dear Laura, how could you start dating without a word? Heartbroken]
[Laura, who's that guy? Announce it already, la la la...]
[I'm so curious what kind of man could make our goddess be so forward, hugging and kissing him.]
[From the side profile, this guy looks pretty handsome. Even though I'm super jealous, I still want to congratulate our Laura.]
[May you have a baby soon and live a long and happy life together!]
[Waiting for the official announcement... but damn, I really want to take that guy out. I'm dying of jealousy.]
Laura Lowell looked at the endless stream of comments under her Weibo post, dying of regret.
"LoriaLaura, I love you to death! This time, even if Jolene scolds me until I'm black and blue, I will still support you and Dr. Shaw getting together."
Peach was so excited she was about to jump up and down on the spot.
If her LoriaLaura could become Dr. Shaw's girlfriend, wouldn't that mean she could see her idol every day?
'Just thinking about it was bliss.'
"You silly girl, can't you have even a little bit of a girl's modesty? Look at you, acting like a little perv."
"Hey, modesty won't get you anywhere! I just want to be able to see that handsome guy every day."
Laura Lowell had been quite gloomy, but after hearing the silly girl's words, she couldn't help but laugh along.
...
Aiden Shaw never read entertainment news, so naturally, he had no idea that he had already become Laura Lowell's "boyfriend."
He had just come out of the operating room, changed his clothes, and headed to the break room. Along the way, many doctors and nurses were giving him strange looks.
Aiden Shaw didn't know what was happening, and he couldn't be bothered to ask.
