Chapter 197 Falling into the Water
Chapter 197 Falling into the Water
Jessica, with her head still full of shampoo foam and wrapped in a towel, frowned uncomfortably and said, "What do you mean, a gentleman? Can you help me contact him to change it? If not, give me his contact information, and I'll ask myself."
"I'm sorry, but we can't disclose the guest's contact information."
"Can't you make an exception? I was in the middle of washing my hair when the water suddenly turned cold. I can't wash my hair and take a shower with cold water in this weather."
"We'll send someone to fix the water heater right away. We apologize for the inconvenience."
Jessica sighed slightly, "Are there any other rooms available? Even on different floors?"
"No, recently, many companies from Xyleria have come to Sunshine Bay City for conferences. Since our hotel is currently the best in Sunshine Bay City, all the rooms have been booked."
She thought, 'The best hotel?
'It certainly looks like the best hotel in Sunshine Bay City, but even the basic shower water temperature is so poor.
'Hotels in tourist areas are indeed unreliable.'
Jessica resisted the urge to file a complaint and give a bad review. After hanging up, she waited for the staff to come and fix the water heater.
It was past midnight by the time she finally finished her shower, dried her hair, and started reviewing the script for the next day.
The next day's scenes were still at the Sunshine Bay City resort, by a lake inside the resort.
Donna's character, having drunk too much the previous night, was being supported by Jessica for a walk to clear her mind. Donna needed to chat and cry about her recent troubles, and in a moment of drunken impulsiveness, she would try to jump into the lake to end her life. Jessica's character would stop her, sternly urging her to calm down and think clearly.
As expected, there were continuous blooperss. After many takes, Donna noticed that Jessica's efforts to stop her from jumping into the lake were becoming weaker. Even when Donna found her rhythm and could have completed the scene, she deliberately made mistakes several more times to torment Jessica.
Jessica was aware of Donna's intentions.
She pretended not to notice and continued to immerse herself in the scene.
During yet another take, when Donna made a move to jump into the lake, Jessica reached out energetically to stop her. As Donna struggled, Jessica suddenly let go of Donna's arms. To the shock of the entire crew and amidst the surrounding screams, she fell backward into the icy lake water.
"How did she fall into the lake?"
"Oh my God!"
"Hurry, save her!"
The scene was chaotic. Donna stood by the lake, not comprehending what had just happened.
She thought, 'Wasn't Jessica supposed to keep stopping me?
'How did Jessica suddenly fall in?'
Jessica flailed in the water for a few moments, her head submerged, and she swallowed several mouthfuls of water before a crew member who could swim rushed over to rescue her.
"Jessica! Jessica, are you okay?"
Zoey, who had been waiting in a car nearby, rushed over when she heard the commotion. By the time she arrived, Jessica had been pulled out of the water. But the lake water was so cold that her face was pale, her lips bloodless. After being pressed by the crew to expel some water, she coughed several times, unable to speak a word, drenched and utterly miserable.
Zoey, terrified, rushed over and grabbed Jessica's hand, finding it ice-cold and devoid of warmth. In this weather, the lake water could easily freeze someone to death!
"Jessica?"
"Jessica, are you okay?"
"Are you okay? Is it serious?"
The director and a group of staff members gathered around, all looking worried. More than anything, they were afraid that if something serious happened to her, the crew would be held responsible.
Jessica kept her eyes closed and didn't speak, but her pale face made it clear that she couldn't continue filming. No matter what the director asked, she just lay there with her eyes closed as if she had fainted.
The director had no choice but to quickly call for an ambulance and then turned to look at Donna, who was standing nearby, clueless about the situation, with reproach.
Given Donna's spoiled nature and the incident yesterday where she incited her assistant to fight, today's situation definitely had something to do with her. The continuous blooperss had exhausted Jessica, and a slight push could have easily sent her into the lake.
Even with Carl, the major investor, backing her, the director cursed inwardly, 'This is too much!
'What if Jessica's life were at stake?''
Jessica was helped up by a group of people and taken to a car, covered with a blanket, and waited for the ambulance to take her away.
Donna, seeing the director's impatient and accusatory look, pointed at herself in confusion and shook her head, saying, "It has nothing to do with me!"
The director ignored her and turned to check if Jessica was seriously injured.
After being taken to the hospital, Jessica developed a high fever due to the cold lake water. She was on an IV drip for two hours and was sent back to the hotel to rest in the afternoon.
#Jessica Falls Into Water And Hospitalized#
#Donna And Jessica#
These two hashtags quickly dominated the new trending topics on Facebook.
Everyone knew that Donna and Jessica had a feud, but the news of Donna suddenly joining the "Honey Ferris Wheel" crew had just come out in the past two days. The fans hadn't had time to react, but today's news of Jessica falling into the water brought it to everyone's attention.
Donna's close relationship with Carl from the Nelson Group was an open secret in the industry, and many fans were aware of it.
Carl was the main investor in this drama, which was also no secret.
Donna suddenly took the lead role, overshadowing Jessica.
On the second day of filming, Jessica fell into the water and got injured while filming a scene with Donna.
All fingers pointed to Donna, and "Honey Ferris Wheel" suddenly became known as a 'murderous crew' among netizens and fans, who all condemned Donna, the crew, and the investors.
At the same time, photos of Jessica and Donna arguing on set yesterday, taken by someone from Mackenzie's side, were posted in a timely manner by several Facebook accounts today. Combined with the photos of the alleged argument and today's news of Jessica falling into the water, all the public opinion was against Donna.
Fans' comments were full of mutual accusations. Although Jessica's fan base was smaller, many netizens sympathized with her and supported her.
The online outcry was extensive, with some of Donna's hidden hater even bringing up her past unpleasant incidents with her teammates in the girl group, accusing her of being manipulative. They claimed she had no acting skills or training and only got the lead role through connections. They condemned the Nelson Group's power and demanded that the crew stop wasting and exploiting Jessica's passion for acting and immediately prioritize Jessica's safety.
The arguments on Facebook were endless.
Donna, who had done nothing today, finally understood what it felt like to be framed and unable to defend herself as she watched the trending topics all targeting her.
