Chapter 41 - Her True Friends

Lena was happy that one of her best friends is returning. Lena and Hazel had been friends earlier than she meeting Andy. Hazel was the younger cousin of Andy.

For sure, Lena will get an earful from Hazel knowing that both of them are no longer together. She must make sure Hazel knows nothing about what recently happened to her.

Hazel was very protective of Lena. One could say that Lena's personality and attitude were groomed by Hazel. No doubt Hazel was able to survive and succeed in the acting business due to her strong, selfish, and manipulative behavior.

Of course…. The world said Hazel was an angelic actress, but Lena knew all the dirty secrets of Hazel.

Now that Lena thought of about, Hazel had a huge crush on Ming Zhao. One thing she never understood was why someone as spoiled as Hazel would like a geek like Ming Zhao. Guess it was how it was with her and Andy.

She'll be sure to introduce the two someday though. <3

Best friends. Lena did have one more of those…

She didn't know when but she fell asleep while watching T.V. She slept peacefully that night, although Lena somehow wished she was dreaming something sweet again.

Lena was woken up by some clattering noises. She opened her eyes to see an unfamiliar nurse. She quickly sat up.

"Who are you?!"

"Uh… I… I am just here to check your charts."

Lena made sure to eyeball the nurse every move she made. The nurse pulled out Lena's chart and looked at it.

"So… I see that you will be getting discharged this morning?"

"I don't know. You are the nurse aren't you?" Lena gave a general answer.

"When would you like to be discharged?"

"Right now."

"Ah... Ok...I can go get your discharge papers for you. Please wait for a moment."

The nurse quickly left and Lena got out of the bed. She went to the bathroom to change already. She had to get out of this place. She can feel that she was getting paranoid from staying here too long.

When she got out all dressed, the same nurse was waiting for Lena.

"The papers?" Lena asked the nurse who seemed to have come empty-handed.

"I just have to do a quick discharge checkup. I know that the doctor did one yesterday but this is the procedure."

"Alright."

Lena went back and sat on the bed. The nurse pulled out her stethoscope and flashlight. She did a few simple checkups. Somehow, Lena felt that this nurse was very slow. Is she new here?

Lena just patiently complied to all the tests. She wanted to get out here!

"Everything seems to check out. I will be back with the papers." The nurse smiled and left.

Just then, two sturdy men knocked and entered the room.

The quickly bow and introduced themselves.

"Hello, Miss. Shen. We are your new appointed bodyguards. My name is Noah."

"Hello, Miss. Shen. I am Kye."

Lena gave them a quick glance. Her father definitely got her some bigger man. She doesn't like it. Reminded her of how Eva walked around with her bodyguards. It makes you look like a weak little princess.

"Nice to meet you two."

Lena got up again and started packing her stuff. The stupid checkup already took her an extra 20 minutes. And somehow, the nurse was taking forever to come back with her discharge papers.

Lena threw her bag to the one called Noah. "You go first. By the time we come out, I want to leave right away."

"Yes."

While the stupid nurse was taking her time, Lena decided to do her hair. She tied up her hair in a ponytail. She looked at herself and admired her beauty.

Finally, the small nurse was back with the papers. Lena had a huge urge to yell at the young woman but held back. It is still too early to be yelling. Plus, she was here secretly and don't wanna alert too much attention.

She quickly signed the papers and left. Her car was waiting out back. She put on some sunglasses and head out. Somehow, this place seemed to be irritating her more. She was happy to be out of here.

Just as she walked out the door, she heard her name called.

"Wait! Miss. Shen!!"

'UGHHH... what now?!!'
