Chapter 241

"Kate's movie didn't do well at the box office, and there were gossip newspapers that teased her about her relationship with you, so I'm embarrassed to come over this time. It just so happened that she stayed in Los Angeles to help us watch the house be built. ”

Inside the elevator, Janet affectionately took Simon's arm and told the story of what happened in Los Angeles.

Simon listened with a smile and said, "Catherine is the kind of director who has a strong personal style, she just hasn't found a genre that suits her yet. ”

Janet asked, "So what type of movie do you think Kate is suitable for?"

"War films," Simon blurted out, adding: "Catherine's realistic camera style is well suited to showing the intensity and brutality of war." ”

Janet tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "That's true, don't look at Kate's sometimes even shy and unsociable appearance, but she is actually full of violent marks in her bones, and when she was in Columbia, many of her paintings were bloody." ”

The sound of the elevator interrupted the conversation, and Simon glanced at the indicator light, which was on the 32nd floor.

The two stepped out of the elevator and down the hallway to an apartment.

Janet took the key out of her bag and opened the door, and after entering the hallway, she threw off her shoes and walked barefoot into the living room.

Simon followed the door, intending to bend down to pick up the woman's shoes and put them on the shoe rack next to him, when a faint woman's scent came from all around, even with some kind of indescribable déjà vu.

It's just that this kind of heterosexual aura that should be refreshing makes Simon feel his head swell slightly, as if something wants to rush out of the depths of his memory. After a brief moment of dizziness, Simon adjusted to the aura and his mind cleared again.

Helping Janet set up her shoes and taking them off herself, there were no men's slippers on the shoe rack, and Simon walked into the living room barefoot like Janet.

Janet handed over a bottle of mineral water and said, "That's all in the fridge, why don't you call Neil to buy something and deliver it?"

Simon took the mineral water and smiled: "Don't toss Neil anymore, besides, this is not your apartment, right?"

Jenny nodded and said, "When I was 18 years old, I wanted to buy my own apartment in the city, but my parents didn't let me, and then I lived in Los Angeles most of the time, so I didn't have to do this, and I came back to live in a mansion in the suburbs." ”

Simon gestured around, "What about here?"

"Iceberg," said Janet, taking off her coat and dropping it on the couch, "but she's been on holiday in England lately, and we can stay here." ”

Simon was confused for a moment, then remembered who Janet was talking about the 'iceberg', and said, "We live in your aunt's apartment, is this appropriate?"

"Of course, I didn't want to listen to the old man's nagging when I went back to Melbourne before, so I came here to rub in," Janet said indifferently, snatched the mineral water from Simon's hand and drank a few sips, threw the bottle away, and wrapped her arms around it: "Little bastard, have you missed me during this time?"

Simon smiled and held the woman's light body and said, "It's too busy." ”

Janet leaned over and grabbed Simon's lips in disgruntle: "Hmm, bite you." ”

After a moment's frustration, Janet snorted and pointed in one direction, and Simon walked over to turn off the living room light and walked towards the bedroom.

Perhaps because of being in an unfamiliar environment, I continued to have all kinds of scattered dreams all night, and many people's memories poured out of my mind. Even, at some point, I know that I am dreaming, but I can't wake up.

In the various torn fragments, a small figure appears again, a very well-behaved child, silent, silent, and perhaps a little autistic.

He is often locked in a dark cupboard.

The child wisely looks forward to someone coming to visit him very early and for a long time, because then he will be able to eat good food, get new clothes, and all the people around him will become kind.

Broken thoughts drifted away, and after all, they couldn't spell out any specific pictures, only some faint breath engraved in the deepest part of the memory.

Later later, later.

The child becomes a complete person, living alone like a stubborn little beast in a strange place.

When Simon woke up, he found that there were obvious tear-soaked marks on the pillow, and he was in a daze recalling last night's dream, but those fragments melted away as quickly as ice and snow in the blazing sun.

Bright light came through the curtains, and Simon reached for his watch on the bedside table and looked at it, it was already 11:55. I wake up at 8 a.m. on weekdays, and although I slept a little late with Janet last night, it's still a bit unusual to wake up close to noon.

Moreover, I usually have a meeting with Cersei Capital's sub-fund trading team in the morning, but no one calls me today.

Maybe Janet hung up the phone calls and wanted to rest a little longer.

Thinking so, after getting out of bed, he took a quick shower and changed into the clothes that Janet had prepared for him, Simon came to the living room, and the smell of food came from the kitchen.

Simon shouted, and Janet leaned out of the kitchen, shook a spoon in her hand, and said, "5 minutes, you can watch TV for a while." ”

Nodding, Simon walked to the refrigerator and opened the cabinet door, which was already filled with all kinds of fruit drinks, it should have been bought by Jenny in the morning, took a bottle of mineral water and drank most of the bottle in one go, Simon was about to go to the kitchen to help, but there was a noise in the hallway.

The security of this high-end apartment is so tight that no one should be able to break in unnoticed.

Suspiciously walking over, Simon saw a tall blonde woman in a beige turtleneck sweater and black trousers appear at the entrance, holding a small suitcase in her hand.

When the woman saw Simon, her face turned pale for a moment, and her eyes were filled with panic and fear, and she stayed there as if she had been immobilized.

Simon guessed the woman's identity at the first time, but when he saw the other party, the dizziness he felt when he entered the apartment last night hit again, and many dream-like fragments began to gather in the depths of his memory.

A severe headache that seemed to blow up the head.

Simon struggled to raise his arm, trying to rub his temples. It's just that before the arm was raised, the whole person had already passed out on the floor.

“......”

"Simon Westeros was rushed to the hospital, and the Johnston family urgently blocked the news. ”

"Simon Westeros is rumored to have a relapse of mental illness. ”

According to insiders, Simon Westeros fell into an unexpected coma at noon today, probably due to long-term fatigue. ”

Amy Pascal and other Daenerys Entertainment executives urgently set off for Melbourne. ”

"Affected by Westeros's unexpected coma, the Japanese stock market fell 226 points throughout the day. ”

"A Los Angeles City City spokesperson asked the Johnston family to release Simon Westeros' condition. ”

"Stanford University is concerned about Simon Westeros' condition. ”

"Once a genius boy encounters an accident, who will own the huge net worth?"

"The bombshell news, after six hours in a coma, Simon Westeros has woken up at about 6:20 p.m., and the Johnston family said that they will hold a press conference at 8 p.m. to report on Westeros's condition. ”

"Batman" producer Joe Sylvou said the crew has been notified that filming will be temporarily suspended for a week. ”

“......”

“......”

When he woke up again, Simon found that his memories seemed to have been integrated again, some completely annihilated, and some clearer.

Lying on the hospital bed, his eyes swept around, mainly to Janet's pear blossom and rainy face beside the bed, Simon felt that he must not faint again.

You can't let the people who care about you be sad anymore.

I also found another figure in the crowd, just swept it lightly, then retracted my thoughts, and tried my best to relax and comfort Janet.

In fact, he knew that there was no problem with his body at all, but at the insistence of everyone, Simon still patiently did a comprehensive examination, and promised to observe in the hospital for at least three days.

Naturally, there were no problems with the results of the examination, and Anthony Johnston personally took the attending physician to the press conference.

The next day was Simon's birthday.

21st birthday.

After some memories were restored, Simon confirmed that the birthday was real.

February 22, 1968, indeed.

It's just that they have to spend time in the hospital, and many people rush over from the United States. Catherine, Sandra, and others, as well as Amy, Iger, James, and Warner's Terry Semel, among others.

Confirm that Simon wakes up, and the brief chaos quickly calms down.

However, I heard that the tabloids in Los Angeles were still discussing what would happen to Simon's billions of dollars in fortune if something happened to him, or if his old illness relapsed and he lost his ability to organize, these people obviously did not know what Simon had arranged with George Norman in advance.

"Batman" has temporarily suspended filming.

This is not a big deal, some big names in Hollywood have stopped filming film projects that can trigger huge investments because of quarrels with their wives, and Simon's current identity is far bigger than the coffee position of any star in Hollywood.

Cersei's capital was taken over by Janet, who had a fight with his father, complaining that Raymond Johnston had deliberately burdened Simon to cause him to be overworked.

Simon has no concerns about Janet taking over Cersei Capital. This hedge fund is positioned to operate as a long-term long, and as long as the Japanese stock market is still rising, it is unlikely to lose money, which is nothing more than a matter of making more and earning less.

What's more, Simon also knows that Janet is lazy and lazy on weekdays, but with what he knows about her since the two have seen each other, it is actually quite appropriate for Janet to be in charge of the specific operation of Cersei Capital.

After a commotion and confirmation that Simon was fine, Amy and the others returned to the United States again.

Having spent two days at the Johnston family-sponsored private medical centre, they planned to do a full check-up tomorrow morning, and to make sure it was correct, Janet and Simon planned to go to the farm they had bought in Tasmania to recuperate, which was quieter.

A boring day.

After dinner and watching TV together for a while, Janet went to rest next door.

Simon also lay alone in bed and quickly fell asleep.

There were no scattered dreams for the past two days.

Maybe.

There will never be one again.

In the haze, I felt a figure appear on the side of the bed, quietly sitting down in a chair and looking at myself.

Simon woke up as soon as he felt a certain familiar breath and silently looked at the woman beside the bed.

After so many years, the image in my memory does not seem to have changed much from this time.

Simon didn't speak.

The woman was silent for a moment, and the tears began to fall in the faint light, and slowly covered her face again and began to sob, mixed with muttered small words.

"I was only seventeen years old and didn't know what to do...... I give Mr. and Mrs. Levinson a lot of money every year, and I hope you can do a little better...... They took you on a tour that year and never returned to Birmingham...... I came to you later...... I didn't expect you to be in San Francisco......"

Simon listened to the woman in silence for a long time before interrupting in a somewhat stiff tone: "Don't cry." ”

When the woman heard Simon's words, she immediately stopped sobbing and covered her mouth to forcibly suppress it, as if she was afraid that if she made some more whimpering sounds, it would displease the person in the bed. After a while, she touched the tears on her face, looked up at Simon, and said, "You, I can give you whatever you want." It's all my fault, you don't hurt the Johnston, and Jenny. Jenny, Jenny really loves you. ”

Simon was silent for a moment again, but his tone was still a little stiff, and said, "I didn't want to hurt anyone, it's all just a coincidence." ”

The woman sat in a chair, looking obviously unconvinced but not daring to disbelieve it.

After a moment, Simon said, "Did you tell anyone?"

The woman shook her head: "No." ”

"I don't want to make things that complicated, and since you haven't told anyone, forget about it. ”

"Huh?"

"Just act as if nothing happened, I don't know you, you don't know me. ”

The woman raised her hand again: "You, really?"

"I'm a little sleepy, you can go. ”

The woman looked at Simon seriously for a moment, then cautiously got up and left the ward silently.

The next morning, another full-body examination was over, and Simon left the medical center surrounded by a large crowd. A large number of reporters, who had been waiting outside the medical center for three days, saw Simon appear, almost causing a riot and following him all the way to the Johnston family estate.

At noon, the Johnston family arranged a luncheon to welcome Simon out of the hospital, and invited some guests.

And so it had to be.

Everyone is very concerned about whether Simon can still guarantee the operation of Cersei Capital.

In addition, Raymond Johnston solemnly introduced his sister Veronica Johnston to Simon at the banquet. Although Veronica behaved a little strangely in front of Simon, fortunately, everyone didn't notice it.

Simon completely treats everything these days as a dream, and naturally he will not show any flaws.
