Chapter 550:
When Tiffany heard Clint had been in an accident while trying to save her, her happiness was fleeting. More than anything, she wished she could have been the one lying in the intensive care unit instead of him.
Tiffany and Clint had met on a film set.
He was the lead actor while she just played a maid beside the lead actress with barely two lines to speak. That winter had been particularly bitter, and the lead actress, always terrified of the cold, passed on several scenes to her stand-in.
There was one scene in particular where the lead actress had to jump into cold water, but her stand-in had to bow out due to personal reasons. The director, anxious to stay on schedule, was left scrambling. Knowing this was her chance to earn a little more money, Tiffany gritted her teeth and volunteered.
Although she got the opportunity, it took five or six tries to get it right.
By then, her lips had turned pale, and she could barely keep her feet under her. Yet, no one on the crew noticed her struggle.
Everyone was in a mad rush, racing against the clock.
It was Clint who, without a word, draped his down jacket over her shoulders. Tiffany continued, âYou probably think Iâm just some devoted fan, falling for him because he showed me kindness when no one else would.
But you donât know thatâ¦â
Harlee cut in, her tone firm.
âI know.â

Perhaps Harlee hadnât understood it before, but after seeing Rhys risk his life to protect her, she now understood the feeling of falling in love with a man in an instant.
âBut Tiffany, you should know Clint doesnât care about the gap between your status or position, and neither does the Sanderson family.â After pausing for a moment, Harlee added, âSo be brave.
Go after love with everything you have! We only get one shot at this life.â
âIf you miss it, you will never know if another chance will come your way.â Harleeâs words sank in, planting a seed of courage in Tiffanyâs heart.
After saying that, Harlee stood and went to visit Clint. This time, Tiffany didnât hesitate. She no longer feared what might lie ahead. With a steady voice, she asked Harlee to update her on Clintâs condition after visiting him. Some things were slowly but surely beginning to change.
As Harlee exited the ward, she noticed Tonya and Ritchie lingering by the door.
Clearing her throat, she caught Tonyaâs attention. Instantly, Tonya clung to her side like a shadow.
âHarlee, whatâs going on with Clintâs future wife?â Tonya asked.
Harlee had always been open with Tonya, sharing everything, including Tiffanyâs situation.
After a brief pause, Harlee responded thoughtfully, âHmm, I think they can take things to the next level.â
âIs that so? I thought she was too indecisive for thatâ¦â Tonya mused aloud.
Tonya continued to chatter about Tiffany as they made their way from the ward to the entrance of the intensive care unit. Within moments, she had concocted several plans in her head. With a triumphant smile, she declared, âI have secured Clintâs love for him!â
Ritchie trailed behind them silently. When they arrived at the ICU, Tonyaâs smile faltered when she saw Clint, his body tangled in a web of tubes.
A surge of fury rushed through her, hot and dizzying.
