Chapter 26 Catch a Cold
Chapter 26 Catch a Cold
While Verena was still lost in thought, water on the surface was splashed all of a sudden.
She was suddenly startled and looked at the lake as it sounded. Then she saw another one jump into
the lake with a nice posture.
It was exactly Eden.
He didn't even get changed. He simply jumped into the lake with an oxygen mask.
Though it was a sunny day, it still felt cold as it was autumn. So it was much more chilly under the
water.
As Clare just jumped into the lake, her face turned twisted because of coldness. It looked really awful.
But Eden still dived beneath her to look for a nice angle to shoot pictures.
Clare's face turned livid as she was chilled. Even her mood worsened a lot. Her pose looked stiff and
weird. She went above the surface to breathe some fresh air from time to time. Then she dived again.
Half an hour later, all staffs standing beside the lake looked more anxious.
Though Clare herself was aware that she had to keep a natural-looking face to get the best picture, she
still felt quite annoyed because of coldness. So it made her more difficult to get a better shoot.
However, since she had jumped into the lake, she would bear it to manage to maintain the best pose
as much as she could rather than simply struggle out of chill. She just wanted to finish it as soon as
possible.
"I know that Clare has been spoiled in a rich family! You have heard about Director Alan, right? Do you
think she could simply get this film and ad if she didn't sleep with him? You guys should know that how
awful her acting skill is! Only god knows how many times she had hopped onto Director Alan's bed!"
"It has been about an hour! Why haven't they finished? It must be freezing cold down the water!"
"Come on, don't worry about it! Even Clare herself didn't get anxious yet! Just take your time!"
"Come on, I am worried about that handsome photographer! I don't want him to be exhausted just
because of her stupid work!"
"Yeah, I agree! Though I have seen so many male stars, only few of them look more attractive than that
photographer! He is so appealing and gentle! Oh my god, I want to shape my face by plastic surgery! I
have to be his girlfriend when I look better!"
"Yeah, so do I!"
When hearing the whisper between the two assistants beside her, Verena couldn't help smiling.
If she could, she really wanted to gossip and daydream just like what they did!
As time went by, the shooting was finally done.
As soon as Clare get out of the water, Verena hurried to walk over to cover her with blanket. Then she
helped to dry her hairs with towel.
"Well, you did a good job this time." Clare squinted at her and then sneezed out of chill.
Verena asked, "Do you want some hot water?"
"No! There is no shooting tonight. After checking the pictures, you can go home. You don't need to
follow me."
"Okay." Verena answered softly.
Soon, all pictures were transferred to the computer, through the screen of which she saw that the
glowing sunlight came straight through the clear water and shed on Clare's face. She looked bright and
pure while she was fixing her eyes on the surface of the lake. Her smile under the water looked
innocent and gorgeous.
The next picture was taken under the sunset. There were a few yellow leaves floating on the surface,
beside which Clare's upper body reached out of the water. Waterdrops streamed down her face while
she was smoothing her hairs backward. She looked natural and relaxed.
What a nice and romantic picture!
Verena fixed her eyes on the screen. She was totally amazed and so did the crew members.
None of them had ever expected that the photographer could make Clare, a weird looking model under
the water, so ethereal and gorgeous in the pictures. What an amazing guy!
Obviously, Clare was quite satisfied with her pictures. She kept smiling still.
After checking it, she was about to leave. But just as she took two steps forward, she suddenly stopped
and turned around to say to Verena, "Oh, by the way, my fur coat is left in the dressing room. Don't
forget to bring it when you leave. Have it dry cleaned and take it to me tomorrow!"
Verena nodded and then asked a crew member beside her about the location of dressing room. Since
the night was about to fall, she needed to leave now.
"Go to the second floor and turn left. Head straight the corridor till you reach the last third room."
As Verena was going upstairs, she kept repeating the location mentioned by the crew member in case
she forgot it.
Only her footsteps sounded on the corridor. She took one step then another. It sounded clear and loud.
Just as she was looking for the room, she happened to notice that a man in black was sitting beside a
French window on the left of the corridor. He leaned against the window but Verena couldn't see his
face.
Verena took a look at him again and felt that he looked quite familiar. She deemed that he might be the
photographer just now.
But she didn't know why he sat on the ground. Was he feeling sick?
She walked over and saw he was indeed the photographer as she got closer.
Verena frowned and asked confusedly, "Sir, why are you sitting here? Sir?"
But Eden didn't reply. He just kept sitting on the ground, unmoved.
Verena seemed to notice something wrong. She squatted down and tried to touch his body. However,
she almost screamed out as soon as she touched him.
She was so surprised to know that his clothes were still wet all over. There was even water streaming
down from his body.
Then she turned his face aside. He looked pale and weak. Even his breath felt a bit hot.
Verena was a bit stunned. She touched his forehead and felt that he was burning hot at this moment.
Undoubtedly, he was catching a cold. However, he seemed to feel sick more than that as he pressed
on his belly with his hand. She could tell that his stomach might be sick as well.
But the most important thing was to strip off his wet clothes and get him changed.
It took her quite a lot of efforts to support him into a room. She started to sweat on her forehead.
"Sir, can you get yourself changed?" Verena gasped for air while sitting down beside him. Then she
tried to remind Eden.
Eden finally raised up his head, frowning while looking at her. He managed to say, "What?"
"You need to get yourself changed. Or you will feel worse. Let me get some clean clothes for you."
When seeing him nod, she stood up to walk to the dressing room beside.
