Chapter 1073: Chapter 1073: Annie Was Provoked
"Don’t be afraid; it’s all over now."
Charlotte Thompson looked at the assistant’s face, full of fear, and comforted him softly.
The assistant gradually calmed down, but his body subconsciously retreated quite a bit.
Seeing this, Charlotte didn’t force anything and kept her voice as soft as possible.
"What do you know? What did you see?"
The assistant clearly had witnessed Mia Carter tampering with the ladder. If he had told Annie Anne, today’s accident surely wouldn’t have happened.
But Charlotte looked at Annie’s assistant, who seemed simple and kind--not the type to harbor ulterior motives.
Though the assistant wasn’t too old, he was, after all, an adult man. After a moment, he found his voice again.
"After I took the photos... I went back and told Sister Annie..."
His voice was very hoarse, with a tremble in it, courtesy of Oliver Hudson.
The assistant seemed to feel a painful throat as his features scrunched together, but he still managed to speak, "I asked Sister Annie what I should do. She said not to expose it for the time being and that she had also gone to find people from the production crew..."
The assistant answered word by word.
He went back and told Annie immediately after he saw Mia Carter messing with the ladder. Annie didn’t react much; although she said to be careful, the assistant was still very worried.
Seemingly noticing this, Annie went to find the props team after finishing all of her scenes that day.
The assistant thought Annie must have gone to check the ladder.
But the scene of Annie falling from the ladder today still scared the assistant quite a bit.
"Could it also be related to someone in the props team?" After hearing the assistant’s brief account, a chill went through Charlotte.
The prop ladder was so high, and Annie wasn’t wearing a harness. A fall would definitely cause serious injury, or even be life-threatening.
Charlotte hadn’t anticipated someone so cruel and ruthless in such a small production crew.
On the other hand, news from Oliver Hudson’s assistant came quickly, confirming through investigation that Mia’s actions that day were indeed related to the incident.
"How is Annie doing now?"
Justin Battleson walked over to another hospital bed, looking at Olivia Thompson, who was still unconscious, and touched her little face.
"The doctor said Annie was shocked into unconsciousness and should wake up soon..."
But before Charlotte could finish speaking, Olivia on the hospital bed whimpered and slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing this, Charlotte quickly stepped forward and grabbed Olivia’s little hand.
"Annie, how do you feel? Is there anywhere uncomfortable? Tell Mommy."
The moment Olivia fell unconscious, Charlotte felt as if her heart stopped beating.
Olivia’s lips were pale, but now she ignored everything else, directing her gaze to the bed beside her.
Naturally, it was Annie Anne lying there.
Tears instantly welled up from Olivia’s eyes, and she struggled to get up from the bed to go towards Annie.
"Mommy! Mommy!"
Olivia cried out in pain, her voice so heart-wrenching that it broke Charlotte’s heart. She quickly picked Olivia up and walked towards Annie’s bed.
"Mommy... what’s wrong with Annie’s mommy? Blood, Annie saw blood..."
Charlotte had never seen Olivia cry so sorrowfully; she kept calling out for Annie, sobbing uncontrollably.
She wanted to grasp Annie’s hand, but seeing the IV needle there, she instead clung to Charlotte’s neck, weeping.
