Before she left, Kaia was worried about the potential drama. She turned to Harry and reassured him, “Don’t let it get to you.”

Luna bit her lip so hard it turned white, looking like she was on the verge of tears.

The online viewers today were the eyewitnesses to this whole fiasco.

Luna wailed, feigning innocence, “Wow, that Ms. Domont is really something. I didn’t say much, and now she’s accusing me of spreading lies.”

With that, Luna burst into tears and ran out of the room sobbing. And just like that, the live–stream ended.

[???]

[What the heck is going on? One drama after another! Is this show always this exciting on the first day?]

[I hope Mr. Halston is okay. He can be a bit strict, but I really hope he pulls through.]

[I think Luna might be onto something. Mr. Halston passed out right after Harry went in. The camera wasn’t on them, and they were in there for a full half–hour. Who knows what they talked about?]

Soon, a wave of viewers started demanding that the production team release the raw footage from Jude’s office.

Meanwhile, Lucien had been in a meeting all day. When he

finally got a chance to check the live–stream, he was surprised to find it wasn’t on.

He frowned and told Frank, “Go find out why the variety show isn’t being broadcast today.”

“Sure thing, Mr. Graves,” Frank replied and scurried off.

A short while later, Frank rushed back into the office, looking flustered. “Mr. Graves, there’s been an incident during the live–stream.”

Lucien’s eyes narrowed. “What is it?”

In the hospital, the doctor asked, “The patient’s blood pressure is through the roof. Does he have a history of hypertension?”

Kaia had no idea.

Jude was divorced, and childless, and his parents lived back in their hometown.

In this vast city of New York, it seemed like he had no close

“I don’t know,” Kaia said, then suddenly remembered. “But once I saw his face twitching. Could that be a sign of high blood pressure?”

The doctor quickly instructed the nurse to attach a monitor and start an IV drip. “Does he drink a lot?”

Kaia nodded. “Yeah, sometimes he has to for business events. ”

“Which is more important, his health or these business dinners?” the doctor said sternly.

Kaia felt a bit sheepish and replied, “Of course, his health. Is he going to be okay?”

“Look at his blood pressure. It’s 220mmHg! I’m going to lower it first and then give him fluids.

“You go and handle the hospitalization procedures. He needs to be admitted for treatment. Once his condition stabilizes, we’ll transfer him to the inpatient department.”

Kaia immediately followed the doctor’s orders.

She stayed by Jude’s side through the blood tests, the CT scan, and all the other procedures. Jude was groggy throughout, but Kaia didn’t leave his side for a second.

Finally, Jude slowly opened his eyes. “Kaia, where am I?”

“Jude, you’re awake!” Kaia’s eyes filled with tears. “You really scared us to death.”

“Do you feel any pain?” Kaia asked and then rushed to call the doctor.

“The blood pressure has come down a bit. Wait for the inpatient department to call, and then you can transfer the patient upstairs. A nurse will go with you,” the doctor said.

Kaia finally felt her nerves settle down.

“Jude, you passed out in your office. We were all shocked when the camera showed you on the floor. I’m so glad you’re okay. Otherwise, I…” Kaia’s eyes welled up again.

Jude said weakly, his face as pale as a sheet, “Come on. I’m fine, right?”

Kaia suddenly looked serious. “Jude, the doctor said you have to quit drinking. You also need to watch your diet, avoid fatty foods, and get more exercise.”

Jude let out a small sigh. “Oh, really? No more drinking?”

He didn’t smoke, but he did enjoy a drink or two, whether it was at business dinners or when having a meal at home.

“You have to,” Kaia insisted.

Jude closed his eyes in resignation. “Alright then.”

He knew that as he got older, his body couldn’t take as much as it used to.

It was two hours later when Jude was finally transferred to a regular hospital ward.

Only then did Kaia find time to check her phone. She saw that Alex had called her five times, Warren three times, and Lucien

ten times!

Kaia decided to call Alex back first so that her colleagues at the company wouldn’t worry.

“Kaia, how’s Jude?”

“He’s okay, Mr. Miller. He’s out of immediate danger. His blood pressure soared to 220 mmHg and he passed out. Fortunately, he’s fine now, but he has to be hospitalized.”

Alex let out a sigh of relief. Today’s incident had even made it onto the trending list on social media.

“That’s good, that’s good. I’ll be at the hospital in an hour. Text me the room number later.”

Hearing that Alex was coming, Jude waved his hand hastily.

He was sick and in no mood to deal with visitors.

Kaia then said, “Mr. Miller, Jude says you don’t have to come. The hospital doesn’t allow too many visitors, and the doctor says he needs to rest. How about waiting until his condition stabilizes?”

“Alright. Then, Kaia, you’ve got to take good care of him these days if you’re free. Oh, he’s in his forties and still doesn’t have a wife or kids. Such a pity.”

Kaia smiled helplessly, “Sure, I know. It’s no trouble. It’s what I should do.”

After hanging up the phone, Jude grumbled, “What’s he blabbering about? He’s divorced too, but he’s always lecturing

1. me.

“Oh, I almost forgot. You probably don’t know this yet.”

Kaia accidentally stumbled upon some juicy gossip.

Then she called Warren and Vanessa from her group to let them know that Jude was okay.

Just as she was about to call Lucien back, Lucien quietly knocked on the door.

“Mr. Halston, sorry to disturb you. I heard you were sick, so I

Jude, with an IV drip in his hand, was taken aback and stammered, “Mr. Graves, why… why are you here?”
