I'll take care of it

"Finally!" Lina said as he dried her hand with the towel.

"Yeah, now it's all clean. Now let's brush your teeth." Henry agreed.

"I can do that."

"Here, try it." Henry said as he handed her the toothbrush with toothpaste on it already.

Lina, being right-handed struggled to properly brush. But she did a half decent job. Soap suds are all over her mouth even after rinsing with water.

Henry turned her around to face him and wiped her face with a wet towel.

"Can you wash your face?" He asked.

Lina's arm actually started hurting just by brushing her teeth, it strained her shoulder already. Before she can answer, Henry wrapped a towel around her neck and started wiping her face with a wet towel with face wash soap on it.

"Don't get hurt again, Nana." He said as he lightly went around the wounds and bruises on her face. Lina tried really hard not to wince, but she can't help the stiffness in her back every time he accidentally touches or presses on a bruise on her face.

"It was an accident. I'm okay now."

"I'm not okay though. Not until you're a hundred percent fine." Henry said as he wiped her face clean. "Let's go and eat." He finished.

When they were seated at the table and started eating, Lina tried to use her left hand to eat. Henry cut her meat in bite sized pieces so she can use her fork easily. But her would still feed her the soup himself.

Jenny and Sam came in and sat down.

" Hey guys. Eat with us."

"Thanks, I already ate." Jenny answered. "But I have some news."

"What is it?" Lina asked, looking fully towards Jenny now.

"Smith Productions decided to cancel the contract with us. We'll have to pay the penalty."

" What? Why?" Lina asked, alarmed by the news from Jenny.

"Zhang Yong will be in touch with your agency to handle the penalty." Henry calmly said.

"Henry, what? I don't understand. What happened, Jenny?"

"We requested to adjust the schedules as Henry asked so you can heal properly. They said they can't wait that long and will cast a new actress for the role."

"It isn't that long. I just need 4 weeks and then I can start shooting again." Lina said, upset that they can't even wait for her for a month to heal from the accident.

Jenny remained silent and looked towards Henry.

"I asked her to free up two months for you to recuperate and another month to do just work in Asia." Henry informed Lina.

" What? Why? The doctor said in 4 weeks my fracture will be fine."

" He said it may take 4 to 6 weeks but we're not sure of that yet."

"But Henry, I really want to do this movie."

"It seems that they don't need you to finish it since they can replace you that quick. I'll take care of the penalty."

"It's not about the money. I really like this material." Lina insisted.

"I prefer that you heal and rest well. We can't force them to wait for you. I'm sure you'll have a better movie that will be offered to you in the future."

"But that's not how it works. They already waited a year for me."

"Exactly! They already waited and yet they can't give you another three months to heal from an accident." Henry emphasized. "Did you inform them that she had an accident?" Henry asked Jenny.

"We did. They said the investors are also pushing them to finish the movie as soon as possible so they can't delay it anymore." Jenny informed them.

Henry looked at Lina's dejected face. Her sadness written all over her pale face.

Henry raised his hand and caressed her unhurt cheek. " Do you really want to do this film?" Henry asked her softly.

"Yeah." Lina replied without looking at him. She started playing with her fork.

"Stop sulking then. I'll take care of it." Henry said.

"Okay." Lina replied, but it sounds like she just gave up on it. Not expecting anything more out of it.

Just then Wang came in to say that the therapist has arrived.

"The living room should be fine." Henry informed him.

" Do you want to eat some more?" he asked Lina.

"No, I'm full." Lina said and looked towards Jenny and Sam.

"You should take the rest of the day off today. We'll just be at home anyway an there's really nothing that can be done at this state. Better have fun." She informed them. The two just nodded.

When Henry and Lina reached the living room, the therapist stood up from where he was sitting at.

"Hello, CEO Wu, Mrs Wu. I am Shen Mu, I work on the same hospital as Dr Jin and will be checking Mrs Wu while in Miresa."

"Hello, nice to meet you. You can call me Lina."

Henry sat down next to Lina on the sofa. " What are you checking today?" He asked the therapist.

"I'm just checking today if the swelling is going down properly. CEO Wu, are you helping Mrs Wu with her sling?" Shen Mu asked as he moved closer to the seated couple.

"Yes."

"For the first week, please lower the sling like this." Shen Mu informed him and showed him how to adjust the angle of the sling. Henry listened carefully.

"I need to check her clavicle." Shen Mu informed Henry directly. Shen Mu must have been warned before coming, he's not agitating Henry.

Henry reached towards the top button of Lina's dress. Unbuttoned the top two buttons and moved the cloth away from her shoulder.

When Shen Mu reached to touch the exposed skin. Henry was surprised with the rage that bubbled up in him. He kept it in by trying to think rationally.

"The swelling has gone down a lot. Make sure that she wears the sling properly. She should be able to start therapy in another two weeks. I'll inform Dr Jin how she's doing. He will be here tomorrow." The therapist told them and then to Lina.

"Please don't force yourself to do anything until you start therapy. Listen to your body. If you do something and you feel tension or pain, stop immediately. Fractures are delicate. We need to be sure that the bone heals properly. That's it for me. Everything looks to be healing properly." He finished.

Shen Mu said goodbye and left as Henry buttoned Lina's dress again.
