Josephine took a deep breath to calm her nerves before forcing a smile and entering the private room. As soon
as she walked in, Henry greeted her with warmth.
However, has first comment was, "You look pale. Did you not get enough rest?"
Josephine coullenly play along and replied, "Maybe I'm not used to the climate here yet."
"That's why | made sure to order plenty of nourishing dishes for you today. You need to eat more later."
Since her very first movie, Henry had been a devoted fan and treated her like a goddess; During their
discussions about the movie production, he eagerly agreed with everything she said. If she asked for one thing,
he would offer ten without hesitation. With Henry's support, Josephine had nothing to worry about in terms of

Simon looked shocked and gazed at Erhan as if he had seen a ghost Ethan gave Simon a subtle look before
placing a third peeled shrimp on josephine's plate.
Henry quickly chimed in, "Con, try them. They're still fresh! These stump were air-transported this
morning."
With Henry urging her to eat and Ethan peeling shrimp for her, Josephine couldn't refuse any longer. She picked
up a piece and took a bite, but after eating two, she could no longer stomach anymore,
Mason glanced wontedly at her and said, "Ms. Dunn, you really should eat more. You barely ate anything last
night. Your body isn't invincible, you know?" Just as Josephine was about to respond, Ethan interjected calmly,

Henry's face
Josephine quickly interjected, "How can that be? Mr. Wilde has invitedto dinner more than anyone 1 know.
No one else knows my preferences as well as he does.
This reassured Henry and brought a smi of joy to his face. "Then eat more! We don't want people getting the
wrong impression."
Feeling powerless, Josephine forced herself to take a few more bites.
However, after the dinner ended and they walked outside to say goodbye, Josephine suddenly felt lightheaded.
She stumbled and nearly tell, but Ethan caught her before she hit the ground. "What's wrong?" He asked with

When she regained consciousness, she found herself lying in a hospital bed. She opened her eyes and saw
Mason sitting by her bedside with a worried look. Her memory was fuzzy, but she vaguely remembered fainting
before.
As soon as Mason noticed she was awake, he let out a heavy sigh. "I told you to eat more, but you never listen.
You have hypoglycemia, don't you? you...." So, it was her low blood sugar that caused her to faint Josephine
wanted to sigh too. It wasn't that she didn't want to eat. It was just that Zayn's constant nagging gave her a
terrible headache. Every tshe tried to chew, her head felt like it was buzzing.
"By the way, the doctor said you also have a mild concussion on top of your hypoglycemia. How did you get a
concussion?"
"1... Zayn pushedand | hit my head,"
"What?" Mason's face turned red with anger as he stood up from his seat. "He actually pushed you and caused
you to hit y your head?
Hashe lost his mind ?" "Keep your voice down." Josephine winced at the noise, which only made her headache
worse. "It wasn't deliberate. | was trying to take Nadine's necklace off, but Zayn pushedto protect her.""
