Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 53

Selena could feel the blade of the scalpel pressing harder on her neck. Her face was becoming paler by the second.

Everleigh said, "Selena, you know how short-tempered I am. Until you apologize, I won't play along with you any longer. Now, if this scalpel makes a cut on this beautiful face of yours, could you still be an actress?"

Hearing this, Selena's heart sank, and she said in a panic, "I'll apologize. I'm sorry."

"Call me 'sister.'"

Selena gritted her teeth and said, "I'm sorry, sister."

"That's more like it." Satisfied, Everleigh put down her hand and let her go.

As soon as Selena was released, she immediately retreated behind the door and kept a safe distance from Everleigh. She covered her neck with one hand and said breathlessly, "Everleigh, you're mad. I'm going to report you to the police. I'll have them throw you in jail for manslaughter."

"Go ahead." Everleigh crossed her arms and raised her chin, motioning towards the scalpel on the table. She said calmly, "I've left all the evidence for you. I hope the police can use this blunt scalpel as evidence." "What? Blunt?" Selena was shocked. Then she looked at the table.

The scalpel was just a prop; it couldn't even cut an apple. It was obviously not the scalpel that Everleigh frequently used.

"Are you kidding me?" Selena almost went mad with rage.

"I was just trying to scare you." Everleigh pulled out the chair and sat down. "You've also apologized, so I'll let bygones be bygones. Do you still want to learn?"

Knowing Selena's temper, she wanted to stomp out of there. However, Crystal stopped her. "Selena, you have to learn. The director specifically stated that you had to be the one in the scene, so we can't use a double."

Everleigh gave her a calm and collected look, and Selena felt bitter, just looking at her.

"Fine, I'll learn!" She almost gnashed her teeth and said, "Get the crew to sign me up for some insurance. If not, I won't continue filming. Who knows when I'll die on set."

Everleigh had always kept her word since she was young. She was the first daughter of her father, the apple of the Trevino family's eye. Not only that, but she was also gifted and was able to do pretty much everything.

She did not need extra tutoring and was always top in the class. She was good at the piano and art. On the other hand, Selena went to dancing classes at a young age. Even when she was just observing the class on her holiday, she could immediately master the steps. The teacher could not help but praise her.

Selena hated her sister. When she was a child, she often wrote in her diary that she hoped that Everleigh would disappear one day.

Seven years ago, that wish finally came true. However, after seven years, she was back again. It was like a continuous nightmare.

"Like this. When you're suturing, you'll need both hands."

"Wait, there's something wrong here." Everleigh tried to guide Selena's hand, but Selena snatched her hand away. Everleigh saw that Selena was trembling, and she lifted her head to see Everleigh's face in horror.

Seeing her like that, Everleigh suddenly felt a little guilty.

She was furious about what had happened yesterday. All she wanted was an apology from her. She only wanted to scare her with the scalpel, but who knew she was terrified. That only worsened the misunderstanding between them.

There was a knock on the door. It was a crew member. "Dr. Trevino, the director would like to know how things are. If you're almost done, we can try one take."

"Not very good." Everleigh looked at the knot that Selena tied on the human model and frowned.

"What, why?" Selena felt displeased at what she said. She shoved the props away. "I'm not a professional doctor. Isn't this just for show?"

She had been practicing the whole morning and was running out of patience.

The crew member could only scratch his head.

Everleigh hesitated for a while and said, "How about this? Let's try one take, and I'll guide from the side. Then, we can see what the director wants and practice more."

"You could've said that earlier." Selena did not appreciate her effort at all. She moved her wrists in circular motions and stood up, "What a waste of my time."
