My Supermodel Wife (For Sale!)

At the same time, during Lilia's live broadcast, Leila was sitting on her bed. She was in a public double ward at one of Surabaya's private hospitals. Her hand was holding her cellphone, while her eyes were fixed on the live broadcast with a glare. But the sound from Leila's cell phone was so loud that it disturbed the patient next to her.

It wasn't even seven in the morning. The patient next to Leila was a woman in her forties. The woman broke her leg in a car accident. She hadn't been able to sleep well lately after the surgery. Coupled with the noise from Leila's cellphone, the woman's anger built up.

"Little girl, can you turn down the sound of your cell phone?! Didn't your parents teach you not to disturb other people's sleep?! Where are your manners!" The woman scolded Leila all out.

'This is a double ward, do you think this is your own house?'

After being reprimanded by that middle aged woman, Leila gritted her teeth with an angry expression. But if she made a fuss with her, she would be the one to be kicked out of this hospital. So Leila turned down the volume of her cellphone without saying anything. Even though the volume had been turned down, the sound was still very noisy.

Leila unconsciously gripped her cell phone tightly. Her eyes were fixed on her bandaged knee. The ceramic shards embedded in her knee had already been cleaned, but doctors said it would leave scars.

All the suffering she was going through right now was caused by Lilia. If it weren't for that self-righteous woman, how could Leila be put down like this?!

When Leila returned to Surabaya, she couldn't even live in the high-level ward. She could only get this ordinary double room in a middle-class hospital!

All of this was due to the Pangestu Family's lower status than the Irwan Family. The hospital staff continued to emphasize that the upper-level ward at the hospital was full. Robert even had to beg a staff member just to get to the room she currently stayed in.

If Leila still had the status of the Irwan Family's daughter, the hospital director himself would welcome her! Oh, how useless her new family was!

This was the first time Leila had shared a hospital room with another patient. The patient next to her was snoring so loudly that Leila could hardly sleep at night. To make matters worse, her morning news started with Lilia on a live broadcast.

Lilia had taken everything from Leila, but that damn woman could still enjoy the adoration of her fans with a smile. 'Lilia, why did you get everything you wanted!'

*****

At eight in the morning, Lilia's live broadcast ended.

Leila still held her cell phone while deep in thought. The nurses at the hospital began their routine room-to-room checks. When several nurses stood at the door of Leila's room to sort out liquid medicine, their chatter reached Leila's sharp ears.

"Have you watched Lilia Pangestu's live broadcast?"

"Of course I watched it! I woke up at five this morning and waited in the live room. But I have to admit that I was shocked. Lilia Pangestu was probably the only artist who's willing to go live so early in the morning,"

"Who would say that she's not the best artist?! No matter what other people say, I really like her! She is so pretty without makeup, and have you seen her husband?! Her husband is so handsome, you know!"

While they were busy chatting, other nurses who were passing by also stopped and joined in with their conversation.

"Oh, are you guys talking about Lilia Pangestu?" The surgeon asked excitedly. "Did I tell you that Lilia came to this hospital yesterday? She came to our special care ward in the Cardiac Surgery Department,"

"Eh, is that true? Then did her husband also come here?"

The other nurse immediately smelled the gossip and asked the surgeon enthusiastically.

The surgeon acted mysterious and started walking away. "Come on, you guys know that we can't divulge a patient's personal information, right? I have no more words, so I'll be back in my department!"

"Hey Arin, don't go! Let's talk for a bit here! Aren't you the nurse who knows best about everything that happened in this hospital? You can definitely tell us a thing or two!" Another nurse persuaded her.

The nurse named Arin turned around and waved her hand while walking backwards. "No, don't talk about this anymore! You know that there are special rules in the intensive care unit! See you later!"

This conversation made the other two nurses' curiosity even more unbearable.

Although Lilia never hid the facts about her marriage, this made people even more curious about her husband. What kind of a man made a successful model like Lilia decide to get married at the peak of her career?!

Gossip was the spice of a person's boring life. But for Leila, it was a very valuable source of information.

It turned out that Lilia also came to this hospital yesterday.

Leila's fingers that were gripping her cell phone relax a little. Her eyes glowed slyly, and she opened her social media account. Her fingers began to type something on the screen at high speed.

Meanwhile, Lilia, Harold, and the rest of the staff were still at the Lakeside Villa. Only Jean wasn't there with them. As soon as the live broadcast ended, the man reluctantly left for the office.

Since Harold and the others had been busy with various things from early in the morning, Sister Mei made a large breakfast for them. Then they devoured their food in the kitchen.

Lilia sat at the dining table and watched the live broadcast on her cell phone. Harold tapped the surface of the table to get Lilia's attention. He held a cigarette in his hand and asked, "Can I smoke here?"

"Yes, I'll get you an ashtray." Lilia answered as she got up from her chair. Even though she was the host, she often did it for Jean so that Lilia didn't really care.

Harold lit his cigarette and began to smoke it. Then he glanced sullenly at Dylan and the rest of the staff who were eating.

Lilia's manager opened her mouth again. "Lilia, can you come back to work in two days? Some advertising offers have been piling up recently. Plus, there are a few television talk shows that invite you too. Would you be willing to consider that?" Harold asked.

Lilia looked up from her cell phone screen. Her eyes were calm and calculating. After Lilia thought about it seriously, she replied, "I'm not very good at talking on talk shows, so I'll just accept the ad offer,"

"Okay. Oh, there were also several interview invitations from various magazines and media. I will arrange everything for you," after saying that, Harold exhaled his cigarette smoke.

Harold's eyes were fixed on Lilia's face which was still innocent without makeup. After not seeing her for quite a while, Harold still wanted to talk to Lilia more. But he immediately stopped himself.

Dylan sat next to Harold eating shrimp dumplings. He sighed inwardly when he saw the man's melancholy gaze. However, as soon as Dylan opened his mouth to speak, one of the staff suddenly raised his voice.

"Mr. Harold, something happened in cyberspace! Someone managed to reveal the identity of Miss Lilia's husband!"
