Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 493

Trina responded, "Yes."

She then signalled her assistant to bring the nurse.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, she asked Zelena, "Lena, tell me right away, what happened that caused you to fall from the horse?

"How did this happen again?"

Zelena shut her eyes, realising she couldn't even lift her hand without causing pain in her waist.

She said, "I'm not sure. I probably didn't grip the bridle properly. Everything happened so quickly, I couldn't see clearly. D*mn it, I shouldn't have ridden that horse."

Trina gazed at her with concern and said, "Lena, your injury is truly a serious matter."

Zelena asked, "What's the matter?"

Trina replied, "With this injury, you won't be able to participate in any shoots for at least six months, and a full recovery could take one to two years.

"Once the news of your injury is made public, the online comments will be manageable, but there are already people in the industry looking to take over your opportunities, especially Hattie's team."

Zelena clenched her teeth.

She remarked, "Trina, please help me. I don't care who ends up with my projects, just not that Hattie! And definitely not Violeta either."

Trina sighed with resignation, "Protecting your projects isn't as simple as it seems."

Zelena remained silent.

Trina continued, "What can we do to safeguard our projects? Ignoring the schedule isn't an option, and this incident has affected 'Friendly Strangers' as well. Luckily, we are the victims here, and the crew hasn't caused us any further issues yet. They should cover the medical costs, and if we go to court, we might even get compensation for emotional distress and lost income ... "

Zelena quickly responded, "No, we can't damage our relationship with the crew. How will I be able to continue in this industry?"

Trina said, "Lena, we need to focus on protecting our benefits right now. Why are you ... "

Zelena interrupted, "I said no. I'm not going to just wait and suffer. I'll recover as quickly as I can ... Ouch, it hurts so much ... "

Trina gazed at Zelena with a deeply conflicted expression.

She finally asked a question she had been pondering for a long time.

"Lena, what made you decide to become a star in the first place?"
