Jessica's agent seemed to be implying something. Summer looked at her in surprise and asked, "Did other people working with this organizer ever have any accident like this?"
The agent shook her head. "Never. The organizer is famous for its professionalism, and it respects artists."
Summer frowned more. She got closer to the agent and said in a low voice, "Do you suspect that someone is behind this?"
The agent fell silent, and Summer took it as a yes. Summer got serious. "Has Jessica offended anyone recently?"
"No. She has just finished filming the last drama. The next drama hasn't started filming yet. She went to some events we previously agreed on. She hasn't offended anyone recently." The agent was well up in all Jessica's schedule and interpersonal relationship. Summer believed that she was telling the truth.
Since the agent said so, it meant that she was skeptical about the accident.
Summer said, "Where did Jessica go for the event? Could you give me the address, please?"
"Alright." The agent told an address, and Summer wrote it down.
Before leaving, Summer added, "Don't tell Jessica about this. Let her rest well."
The agent nodded, "I know."
Before Summer left, she went to Jessica's attending doctor. After she was ensured that Jessica would get well with a good rest, she left at ease.
Just as she left the hospital, her phone rang. As she walked towards the parking lot, she took out her phone.
When she saw who was calling, Summer paused for a moment before she laughed and picked up the phone.
Summer said teasingly, "Mr. Carl, why do you suddenly call me?"
Carl knew she was teasing him, but he didn't mind, asking directly, "Summer, did you go to see Jessica? How is she?" He sounded anxious. He had been caring about Jessica.
The more anxious he got, the more Summer liked to keep him in suspense. She said indifferently, "Why don't you go and see how she is?"
"Summer, I know you're the best. Don't do this to me..." Carl began to softly plead with her.
"Alright. Speak properly." Summer could not stand his soft voice. She said seriously, "She makes light of the injury, but she is seriously hurt. Her leg is broken and plastered. Her forehead and arm are injured as well. She has to stay in bed and rest for the time being."
Carl fell silent. Jessica had been careless about herself. She had suffered some injuries when she was in school, but this was the first time she had suffered such a serious injury. Summer felt distressed, let alone Carl.
Summer comforted him, "Don't worry too much. I've already asked the doctor. As long as she rests well, she will be recovered soon."
Carl spoke with a hoarse voice, "How did she get hurt?"
"During the event, a shelf fell on her." Summer told Carl what Jessica's agent had said.
Carl sneered and said with an unusually cold voice, "Tip Top Media has so many artists, and there are at least thousands of events during the year. There has never been such a big accident in recent five years! There are even very few
small accidents."
Carl's words made sense to Summer, who got more certain that Jessica's injury was not simple.
Summer said, "Jessica's agent also suspects that there was something wrong with the accident. I plan to visit the venue of the event which Jessica attended."
