Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism



Winona's heart raced as she steadied her thoughts. "Okay, I'll go back and tell her to come in for another X-ray."

After speaking, she stood up to leave.

As she reached the door, a thought suddenly struck her. She turned back to the doctor and said, "You do know that Evelina is a public figure, right? I hope you can keep this matter confidential."

The doctor replied, "Don't worry. It's illegal for medical staff to disclose a patient's condition without consent."

"That's a relief."

Winona hurriedly took the X-ray and rushed over to Liberty Grove.

Meanwhile, Evelina had recently splurged on several luxury items and was at home applying a delicate makeup look, preparing to take a beautiful selfie to post on Twitter.

Winona rushed into her home, entering the code without pausing to change her shoes.

She called out urgently, "Evelina! Evie!"

Evelina was in her room taking photos when she heard Winona's frantic voice outside. Rolling her eyes, she put down her phone and walked to the bedroom door. "Why are you shouting? I'm in my room."

Winona rushed up to her, grabbing her hand with a worried look. "I received the results from the X-ray you took yesterday, and there's bad news." "What news?"

"The doctor told me they suspect you might have a tumor in your stomach!"

"What?!"

Evelina's pupils trembled, and her face turned pale in an instant.

Winona squeezed her hand reassuringly. "But don't worry. The doctor only mentioned it as a possibility, you just need to go back to the hospital for another X-ray."

Jenny was in another room, attempting to sleep when Winona's loud voice startled her awake. Yawning, she stepped out just in time to hear Winona say that Evelina had a tumor.

Taken aback, she exclaimed, "What?! Winona, are you saying Evie has a tumor?!"novelbin

Both Jenny and her sister were like leeches, clinging to Evelina for support.

The news that their host was going to die was nearly as frightening for them as it was for Evelina herself.

Evelina was overwhelmed by dizziness and fainted from the shock of the news.

"Evie, Evie!"

When she finally regained consciousness, she discovered she was in a hospital bed. A faint ringing echoed in her ears as she slowly opened her eyes, still feeling weak.

At the bedside, a doctor and a nurse were discussing something when Winona noticed Evelina had woken up. She rushed to her side. "Evie,

you're awake! Doctor, she's awake!"

UMS

The doctor and nurse turned their attention to Evelina.

"What happened to me?"

The doctor chose his words carefully, avoiding anything alarming. "You fainted again due to low blood sugar, Ms. Drayton. Your condition isn't great, so please don't rush to leave the hospital this time. It's best for you to stay and rest."

Then, the doctor and nurse stepped out of the room.

Winona gently patted Evelina's hand. "Don't worry. I'm here. Jenny will be back soon. I asked her to pick up some things for you. Just take care of yourself. I'll step outside for a moment and be right back

As Evelina watched Winona leave the room, she saw her speaking with the doctor in the hallway, looking distressed.

After Evelina had fainted and was brought to the hospital, the doctors conducted a thorough examination, confirming that there was indeed a tumor in her stomach.

Moreover, the situation wasn't very optimistic, it was highly likely to be malignant.

Evelina had worked hard and finally established herself as a first-tier celebrity on her own, only to receive such devastating news.

For Winona, as her manager, this was a significant blow as well.

After all, she was also Evelina's cousin, and has been through so much together over the years, she felt the weight of the situation deeply.

Before long, Jenny returned to the hospital room, carrying some items and shutting the door behind her to block Evelina's view. "Evie, I brought you some cornmeal porridge."

...

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Violeta had just wrapped up a day of promotions.

Exhausted, she got into her car for the ride back to the hotel.

Aster handed Violeta a thermos, and she tried it, savoring the sweet, nutty flavor. Peering inside, she saw the cornmeal porridge.

"Hehe, I made it in my thermal cooker, and it turned out pretty well!"

"Not bad. It's delicious," Violeta replied, taking a hearty sip.

Aster continued, "The movie is about to be released. I can't wait! I wonder how much box office it will bring in."

Violeta responded, "We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate. By the way, how long is Evelina's leave? Has she returned to work yet?"
