The Second Love

Chapter 229 Am I Fine

I widened my eyes at them, trying to ask for help. However, none of them reached out to pull me from falling. Instead of feeling the pain, I suddenly felt warmth beneath me. The moment I turned my head over, I knew the reason why Delilah and Serenity had remained rooted to the spot. With their idol in front of them, it was only natural for them to be shocked. In fact, it was considered reserved for them not to scream at that instant. Oh my! Luckily, Nicholas came over in time. Otherwise, I would have fallen flat on the ground. “I-Idol, thank you.” Nicholas put on a smile and replied gently, “No problem. But, are you not feeling well? Do you need me to bring you to the doctor?” I heaved a sigh of relief, feeling glad that Nicholas could get what I meant and did not act as if we were familiar with each other. Not feeling any discomfort, I rejected, “Oh! It's okay, I'm fine. Uh... By the way, why are you here?” He winked at me and said, “I need someone to help me with something. Can you do me a favor, please?” I understood at once that he was looking for me. Hence, I nodded my head firmly. He then turned toward Delilah and Serenity with a smile on his face before turning to leave. I shifted my gaze toward the two girls, who were still in a daze, and chuckled inwardly. I coughed a few times to snap them back to their senses. Immediately after, they started to scream in excitement. After calming down the girls while covering my ears, I spoke. “Idol asks me for help. But, don't worry, I'll ask for his signatures for you guys once I'm done helping him. Just wait for me patiently and treat me a meal later!”“Of course. Go on then, Lili! Hurry up and make sure to help him, okay? I bet his signature will look better if he's happy!” I rubbed my temples, trying to keep myself from laughing. I guess a man's charm was sometimes irresistible, huh? I walked past the logistics support and saw Nicholas waiting for me by the door not far away. Worrying that there might be someone taking photos of us that would cause rumors, I remained a distance away from him. Nicholas understood my intention and did not walk too close to me. While we were on the way to his lounge, we did not even speak much to each other. I never thought that such a deliberate act would cause more attention and imagination from the others. Soon after, we finally reached his private lounge. Once the door was closed, I sighed in relief and slumped on the couch. “So, what can I help you with, Idol?”Nicholas shook his head and smiled. “There's no one here anymore. Why are you still calling me that? Stop making me embarrassed.” I guffawed and teased, “Well, I'm not wrong, am I? You are the nation's idol, after all! Didn't you see the two girls just now? They were dumbfounded once they saw you! Oh! By the way, I've promised to help them get your and Scarlett's signatures. Help me with this, won't you, idol? They will treat me to a meal for that.” Nicholas' lips curved upward into a smile. “No problem, it's not a big deal. I'll find Scarlett later and give you a few signed photographs of us.” I stretched out my hand and patted on his shoulder. “You're the best! So, what do you want me to help you with?” Just as Nicholas was about to speak, the door behind him was pushed open. I was scared out of my wits and tried to hide. However, the moment I saw Jake coming in, I let out a long sigh of relief. I need to calm down. This is Nicholas' private lounge! There's no way someone else would come in so easily. I shifted my gaze at the packages in Jake's hands and could tell that they were all food. Nicholas took over the packages and placed them on the table. It turned out that he had specially asked Jake to prepare it for me. As our gazes met, Jake glowered at me before grunting and leaving. However, before he could take a few steps forward, Nicholas stopped him and asked him to call a doctor over. Jake widened his eyes in shock and asked worriedly, “What? A doctor? Nic, are you not feeling well? We can go to the hospital now if that's the case. The doctor here is not professional enough! Let's just go to the hospital to have a full-body check-up.” Hearing that, I knew Nicholas did that for me because he had mentioned it just now after witnessing me almost falling down. As expected, Nicholas replied, “I'm fine. It's Liliana. She's not feeling well. So, can you call the doctor to come over and treat her?”In actuality, I did not feel necessary for that. Besides, I could tell that Jake would be unhappy with Nicholas' request. As expected, I shifted my gaze toward him and saw his face darkened. “The doctor is just there. Why can't she go there herself? Why would she need me to walk over to call the doctor over for her?” Nicholas put on a bright smile at Jake and said gently, “Jake, can you do it for me, please? Hurry up!” “Fine. I'll go.” Jake stared daggers at me before he turned and left. Once the door was closed, I turned toward Nicholas and said, “Nicholas, I'm fine. I've had good sleep and food recently. I don't have to see the doctor.” “There are no disadvantages to having a checkup. If I wasn't there earlier, you would have fallen to the ground. Come on, eat something first. The doctor will be here soon.”Fine, I guess. What else can I say? We sat at the table and started to dig in. Jake had bought donuts for us. With chocolate drizzled on it, it was delicious. Before we could finish the donuts, Jake came back with a doctor. The moment the doctor saw us, he looked shocked. Without a word, he came over and sat opposite me. Initially, I thought he would ask me some questions. However, he simply asked me to stretch out my hand so that he could read my pulse. It surprised me that the doctor hired by the film crew was a TCM practitioner. At first, I was quite relaxed. But after a while, I felt that something was off when I noticed a change in the doctor's expression. What does that mean?Am I suffering from a serious disease? Besides, he looks young, so why is he acting so glum and mature? Moreover, he did not speak since he came in and has only been shifting his gaze between me and Nicholas.With so many questions brewing in my mind, I could no longer hold myself back anymore and asked, “Doctor, am I fine?”
