Chapter 4
When I woke up again, I found myself in a hospital bed, hooked up to an IV.
As I shifted slightly, I met the concerned eyes of a doctor, “Why did you fall into the water? And stay in there all night? Were you trying to

Outside the door, I could hear nurses chatting, “Isn’t that the heir of the Philemon Family? He’s so gentle with his girlfriend “She’s so beautiful too. They’re such a perfect match.”
“But look at the patient in this room So pitiful. She soaked in cold water all night and was brought in by a stranger’s emergency call. And since amving, no one’s come to see her.”
Bitterness filled my mouth as I leaned weakly against the bed, silently waiting for the IV to finish.
Two hours later, I shakily got out of bed and slowly stepped out of the hospital room.
As soon as I did, I bumped into Jaden. He was pushing Cecilia, who was seated in a wheelchair.&
She seemed a little downcast, “The doctor said I caught a cold from the water and it might affect my voice_
Jaden bent down and comforted her gently, “It’s okay. No matter what, I take care of you for the rest of
my life.”
Her eyes welled with tears. “No! I planned to make a comeback once I found you again. I used to be the Masked Diva with countless fans
what do I do now?”
“I’ll find a way to cure you. Don’t worry” Jaden turned the wheelchair around and saw me standing there.!
His face instantly hardened, “You made Cecilia fall into the pond and now you’re following her to the hospital? Alexandra, I never knew you could be so despicable!
I raised my hand to signed, “Believe it or not, I didn’t do it“}
“The truth is right in front of us, stop making excuses!” He took several steps forward and grabbed me, “Come and apologize to Cecilia!
I took a deep breath, my eyes were red, “So an apology is enough, huh?“}
He turned away coldly, “Why so much nonsense? Just apologize!”}
My steps unsteady, I walked slowly to Cecilia and bowed deeply, signed, “Miss Santoz, I’m sorry.”
Cecilia sniffled and looked at Jaden, “Forget it, Jaden. I’m sure Alexandra didn’t mean to …”
Jaden’s heart melted instantly, “Alexandra, remember, Cecilia is different from everyone else. Even if you marry into the Philemon Family, it won’t change her place in my heart”
With that, he turned and wheeled Cecilia away without a backward glance.
I returned to the villa. After two days of rest, I finally recovered enough to speak again.!!
That’s when I got a call from Carmen, “Alexandra, I’ve finalized things with Global Records. The day your contract is officially announced, we’ll also release your new song.”&
I was stunned. “But I’ve been retired for four years. What new song?”
Carmen asked, “You remember that song you wrote yourself? I sent the demo over and a producer loved it. It’s confirmed. Just send me the full sheet music and lyrics and I’ll handle the rest.”X

Strangely, no matter how hard I looked, the sheet music was gone, as if it had vanished into thin air X
While I stood in the mess of my room, feeling frustrated, Carmen called again, “Alexandra, quick! Check the entertainment headlines! Someone stole your song and it’s already been released!”
“What?”
