Chapter 101
Juniper, who could not wait anymore, called Hesper directly and
could not hide her hatred as soon as the call went through. “You b*tch! Rickard should’ve contacted
you, right? Where’s the antidote?”
“What antidote are you talking about?” Hesper blinked in confusion on purpose.
‘Anyway, it’s not my face that’s going to get disfigured, so I’m not the one who’s in a hurry.’
“Stop pretending already! Rickard already knows what you’ve done to me. He’ll definitely obtain the
antidote for me!”
“Really? I must say, you’re really a confident one.”
Hesper was in a rush to pick Renfrew up, so she was too lazy to go back and forth with her. She only
gave off a chuckle and left Juniper a short message before hanging up the phone. “But I do have a gift
for you. Just allow me to make up for what I’ve done to hurt you.”
“I don’t believe that you’ll be this kind!” Juniper shrieked and rejected her gift, but it was already too late
as Hesper had already hung up the phone.
Not long after, a familiar voice sounded in the corridor of the hospital. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
“May I know which ward is Juniper Wight staying in?”
‘It’s Director Tailor!’
Excited, Juniper’s eyes widened. She was about to rush over and open the door but suddenly thought
of her face.
‘My hideous appearance will only frighten them and damage my image as a star in the past.’
However, the people in the corridor were still looking for her, and their voices were getting closer.
“It seems to be this floor. It’s either ward 2104 or 2105.”
“No, don’t come in!” Juniper bit her lip in horror and tried to find a place to hide in the ward, but it was
already too late, as the door of the ward was pushed open, and a large group of colleagues from the
television station swarmed in.
“Mr. Tailor… What brought you guys here?” Seeing that she could no longer hide, Juniper had no
choice but to pretend nothing had happened.
But her appearance still surprised everyone, and some of them even frowned the moment they saw her
face.
Juniper’s self-esteem was hurt, and she complained
dissatisfiedly, “Why are you guys looking at me like this? I’m currently sick. It’s not like I’ve always
looked like this. You guys should know how I look before this, shouldn’t you?”
These words dragged everyone back to their senses, and all of them realized that they were rather
rude and started comforting her instantly.
Hearing their response, Juniper finally felt better and turned to the director. “Mr. Tailor, you’ve come all
the way here in person. There should be something else that you want to talk to me
about, right?”
“About this…” The director was about to speak, but he could not help but hesitate when he saw her
swollen face.
However, he had always been someone who took his reputation very seriously, so he could only move
on to explain it to Juniper,” Ever since you got suspended, your fans have been very upset. They even
went to the television station, demanding for you to continue hosting. Many sponsors have also been
asking for you to take on the programs that they’re going to sponsor. So, after some comprehensive
consideration, our management felt the punishment that they imposed on you was a little too harsh,
and they’ve decided to bring you back. And with that new
arrangement, you’ll regain your original position and receive two additional prime-time programs.”
“What?”
This news felt like a blessing from heaven. Hearing this, Juniper was so exhilarated that she grinned
ear-to-ear. However, the sudden movement on her face accidentally jerked a certain facial muscle
tissue, and her facial features twitched almost instantly, making her look very frightening.
“Juniper! What’s wrong with your face?” The director, who was standing closest to her, was taken
aback.
The other colleagues that came to visit also felt that they had just seen something strange, and
whispers started to emerge among the group of people in the ward.
“Is that a certain sequela of excessive plastic surgery? Otherwise, why would her face twitch all of a
sudden?”
“It does look like it. Her face didn’t look very natural before this. So, it turns out that she’s undergone
certain procedures to attain her beauty.”
“Then how can she host a show when she looks like this? Shouldn’t she be afraid of scaring the
audience?”
The director heard the comments and had already made a decision when he spoke again. “Juniper,
considering that you haven’t recovered, don’t worry about the projects that I mentioned just now. I’ll get
others to take over first. You should focus on taking good care of yourself for now.”
“No, there’s no need for that, Mr. Tailor. I can do it!”
The director did not say anything and exited the ward while comforting her casually. “It’s okay, you
should recover first. Focus on your recovery.”
“Mr. Tailor, I can do it for real! What happened to my face is just a minor issue, and I’ll recover very
soon.”
