Chapter 517: The Hottest Gossip

"It's fine. I'm buckled up. Nico, can you make it faster? It's so exciting. Let's speed up to 200 miles."

Nico was speechless. "Miss, do you have any common sense? This car is just a sports car with
average performance. If we speed up to 200 miles, the car will tremble. It would be scary if I can't hold
the steering wheel tightly. Moreover, this car is borrowed from the crew. If it breaks down, how could we
compensate it?"

Fortunately, they were now filming with a long shot. The filming team only took videos of the car's body,
not the situation inside the car. Otherwise, if they heard her words, they would be stunned.

At this moment, a small car suddenly turned around. Nico was so scared that his face turned pale. He
turned the steering wheel abruptly and had a narrow escape from a car accident with a truck.

"No! We're going to crash!" Ellie suddenly cried out in alarm.

Hearing Ellie's scream, Nico noticed that there was a landslide not far ahead. He slammed on the
brakes and the car had been out of control and slipped. The steering wheel was so heavy that it
seemed as if it was about to fly out. Ellie, who was beside him, was so scared that she couldn't let out a
scream. Without thinking, Nico unbuckled his seat belt and leaned to protect Ellie in his arms.

He did this purely out of a man's instinct to protect the weak, regardless of who she was.

Ellie's mind went blank in an instant. Just as the car was about to collide, a black figure suddenly
appeared in front of her. Her sight then became dark and she completely passed out.

As the car crashed, a headache overcame Ellie. With her brain humming, she went into a swoon.

...

In hospital.



"Ellie! Ellie! Do you feel alright?" The director's voice was out of tune due to nervousness.

"My chin hurts so much." Ellie lay on the sickbed and frowned.

"Your chin? It looks fine. I'm glad you're fine." The director let out a sigh of relief. If there was anything
wrong with this girl, how could he explain it to Mr. Kayden?

"Ellie, you almost scare me to death. My heart is going to stop beating. What happened to you? Why
did you drive faster and faster? How did you get crashed?"

"I remember...remember that Nico drove very fast and I felt very excited. Then a car suddenly turned
around. Nico tried to dodge, but he didn't see a landslide in front of him. And then it crashed." Ellie said
dazedly. Suddenly, she grabbed the director's hand, "Director, how is Nico? Is he alright?" She
remembered that it was Nico who protected her in his arms, so she was only slightly injured.

"He's fine thanks to the airbag, but his hand is injured. He won't be able to film for the next few days.
Don't worry."

Before the director could finish his sentence, Ellie had got off the bed and went out to inquire about
Nico's ward.

Nico's ward, which was gathered with many people, was easy to be found.

"Move, move, let me go in first."

"It's Ellie, the heroine of this film. Hello, Ms. Jones, how did this accident happen?"

"Ms. Jones, are you the only one in the car?"

"Ms. Jones, there are rumors that Nico's injury results from his trying to protect you. What is your
response to this?"



"Ms. Jones..."

"Ms. Jones..."

"Move, move, I have nothing to say. Please let me in." Ellie forced a smile and pushed in with all her
strength.

Ellie finally managed to find a way to squeeze into the ward.

"Nico, Nico, how are you?" Ellie rushed to the bedside and looked at the handsome face that had
fascinated her much not long ago. Her face was as pale as a piece of paper, and she felt as if her heart
was stabbed by a knife.

Nico just woke up and coughed twice. He looked at Ellie feebly and said, "Are you alright? Do you get
injured?"

Given his situation, he was still thinking about her. Although Ellie usually spoke harshly, she was still a
little girl. Moreover, Nico got hurt because of saving her. If it weren't for him, she would have kicked the
bucket.

Ellie was moved to tears. It was the first time she cried in front of an outsider.

The journalists at the entrance didn't let go of this moment, and the camera kept cracking.

Recalling the director's words about his injuries, Ellie hurriedly looked at Nico's arms. She took a deep
breath, gritted her teeth, and exclaimed, "Nico, your arm!"

His clothes were torn, and there was a ten-centimeters long cut from his elbow to his wrist in his right
hand!

The nurse was disinfecting him. The torn wound, with the color of the disinfectant, was terrifying.



"God! Does it hurt? It must hurt. I'm the one to blame, Nico! I shouldn't have let you drive so fast!"

Ellie was so frightened that her face turned pale, tears rolling down her cheeks.

She didn't know that her words had successfully created the hottest gossip in the next half a month.

As a popular star, Nico did everything he could for love, and the beauty was moved to tears in front of
his sickbed.

Even Nico probably didn't expect that this unplanned heroic rescue would make him as popular as a
rising rocket.

...

In the next few days, News of Nico and Ellie was everywhere in the newspapers and on the Internet.
Some people were touched by Nico's behavior as a hero saving a beauty, praising him for showing the
sense of responsibility a man should uphold. Others questioned this matter, believing that it was a
complete hype, and dug out the news that Nico used to be gay. Intimate photos of Nico and a former
popular star, Rick, flooded over various forums, which raised the public's criticism.

However, it was indisputable that the two of them had become famous, especially Nico. To these fans,
he was not only a handsome rich man but also the embodiment of heroism. Regarding gossips about
homosexuality, his fans didn't mind. They just took it as a nice and loving story.

The news was soon heard by Kayden. He took his time smoking and gently clasped his finger on the
table. It was as if something was lingering over his mind, or he was brooding over something. He
waved his hand and one of his men walked over. "Kayden, what do you want me to do?"

Kayden said, "Send someone to the hospital. If Ellie is injured, immediately call the best doctor for her.
Also, send Nico a message. No matter what method he uses, let him complete the plan within half a



year!"

Half a year was his bottom line. One day without Ellie by his side would make him suffer.

"Understood, Kayden. Don't worry. I will settle it." Kayden nodded.

"Kayden. Just give me an order, we will get you whatever women you like. Why do you let yourself
suffer so much?" The lackey on the side had a puzzled expression on his face. He wondered, "We ZH
Clan will make every effort to satisfy Kayden's desires, even if he is interested in a national treasure, let
alone a woman. Moreover, with his power, it is always women pleasing him. When have I ever seen
him go to such great lengths to ingratiate himself with a woman? I really can't understand."

Kayden sighed, "I don't want her body only, but also her heart. I want her to stay committed to me
willingly, not for anything else." Since that girl worshiped the golden calf, he was not sure that he could
win her heart. He could only resort to dangerous moves.

Kerr scratched his head, but he still didn't understand. What did Kayden want to win her heart for? Why
didn't he just get her body? However, he didn't dare to ask. He just nodded and said, "Kayden, don't
worry. With us, you can just wait for Ms. Jones to throw herself into your arms. Just play tricks and she
will succumb. You just focus on dealing with the Mafia."

"OK, if things go wrong, I won't spare you two."

The two men became speechless. Being threatened by the second in command of the ZH Clan was
not a joke. Kerr chuckled, "Don't worry, I will help you win her heart."

"Tell me, should I call her?" Kayden was worried.

"Just call her. She will be touched, knowing that Kayden you care so much about her." Kerr said.



"It makes sense. I hear that women are emotional. If you care about her at her weakest time, it is more
useful than diamond and famous bags."

Kayden thought for a moment and felt that what they said was very reasonable. So, he took out his
phone and called Jones.

After waiting for her to pick up, he finally heard the vigorous sound.

On the other side, Nico suffered many stitches from the chief of surgery. The doctor used cosmetic
stitches to minimize the likelihood of scars.

Then he pushed Nico to do the physiotherapy of the latest instrument, which could promote rapid
healing of tissue cells.

Nico frowned tightly. His entire arm was so numb that he couldn't move because of the bandage cream.
As the chief of surgery changed dressings, his complexion gradually turned pale.

"Nico, does it hurt?" Ellie asked worriedly from the side.

Nico smiled brightly at Ellie and said, "Fortunately, it looks terrifying, but it doesn't hurt that much."

Vincent, who was also in the room, snorted coldly and said unhappily, "It doesn't hurt. Why doesn't it
hurt? His bones get injured too. You would cry out if it were you."

Ellie snorted at her as well. She asked Nico, "Why does she interject? How annoying."

"To avoid leaving scars, you should pay attention to your diet these days. Don't drink, smoke, or eat
spicy food."

As the director spoke, Ellie nodded seriously, as if she was Nico family.



Nico smiled bitterly, "It's fine not to drink, but it's a little difficult not to smoke." Cigarettes were the
spiritual food of men. It was all up to them to make movies day and night and to have good spirits. It
was worse to keep him from smoking than to keep him from sleeping.

The chief of surgery looked at Nico's bandaged arm and kindly advised, "You should pay more
attention. It will only take a few days. It's not going to be that hard."

Ellie righteously complied with the doctor's words, "Nico, listen to the doctor. Don't smoke for a few
days."

Nico looked at Ellie affectionately, "Okay, baby, I'll listen to you. I will do whatever you ask. Even if you
ask me to quit smoking, I'll listen to you too."

What did it mean for a man to quit smoking for a woman? It must be true love.

Vincent frowned. Did Nico really take a fancy to this girl?

The doctor laughed and said, "You are indeed as loving as the outside world says. I really envy
you."
