Chapter 129: Injury

The girl hurried back to the dining room, grabbed a piece of bread, and prepared to watch a good show while eating breakfast. After thinking about it, I chose a safer location - the entrance of the restaurant.

In less than a minute, under Drew's along-stretching anticipation, there were several quick arguments upstairs.

"Eric Williams, I'll never forgive you again, you bastard, big bastard!"

In the midst of this sound, Aniston slammed down the stairs to the second floor, glared viciously at the lively Drew, and pulled up his suitcase to leave.

"Janie, you wait for me, don't be impulsive."

Eric's voice rang out, and then a figure wearing only a pair of trousers appeared at the corner of the V-shaped staircase, seeing Aniston pull up the suitcase and leave again, Eric was so anxious that he didn't pay attention to his feet, stepped on the air, and rolled down the stairs with a few pops.

"Wow," Drew said, not too worried when he saw Eric rolling down the stairs, but gloating a little, as the staircase was less than two meters high.

And Aniston saw this scene and scolded in relief that she deserved it.

Unfortunately, things seemed to be a little unexpected, Eric rolled all the way down the stairs and collapsed directly on his back to the ground, and then blood began to gush out of his forehead, and the whole person was motionless.

The atmosphere froze, and with a snap, the porcelain bowl containing cereal porridge fell to the ground and shattered, and the girl rushed forward in horror.

"Eric, are you alright, hey, you talk, you ...... Don't scare me! Drew threw himself to Eric's side, shouting Eric's name while wiping the blood on his forehead, but found that the blood was getting more and more, and directly dyed the cuffs of the girl's pajamas red, and after careful inspection, he found that there was a wound of about one centimeter on his forehead, and blood was gushing out of the wound, and Eric had fainted.

Aniston was angry and wanted to leave, but when she saw this scene, she hesitated and put down her suitcase and walked up. Bypassing Drew's body, he panicked when he saw the blood spilling from Eric's forehead.

"How...... How so? โ€

The girl was a little helpless to hold Eric's head in her arms, and held the wound on Eric's forehead unfamiliarly, there was a large blood stain on the pajamas in front of her, her eyes were red like a rabbit, and she raised her head and yelled at Aniston: "Bichi, call for an ambulance." If anything happens to Eric, I'll kill you, I swear! โ€

Frightened by Drew hysterical threats, Aniston rushed to the telephone and scrambled to dial 911. At this time, Virginia, who was hastily dressed, also walked downstairs and saw this scene, and hurriedly pounced.

"Drew, let me come, I'll come."

"Get out, get out of here, you Bichi, it's all your fault, otherwise Eric wouldn't be hurt, you Bichi, Bichi......"

Although Virginia felt very uncomfortable being insulted by Drew like this, she was a mature woman after all, and she knew that now was not the time to care about this: "Drew, it's not easy to stop the bleeding, is there a first aid kit, tell me where the first aid kit is?" โ€

"Eric's bedroom, on the closet," Drew said without hesitation, and Virginia quickly got up and ran upstairs.

"It seems...... You should lay him flat on the ground......" Aniston, who had finished the call, leaned over again, saw Drew kneeling on the floor and holding Eric in his arms, and couldn't help but say according to some specious medical common sense that she knew.

Drew glanced coldly at Aniston, carefully pressed the wound on Eric's forehead, laid Eric flat on the floor, thought about it, and took off one of his cartoon slippers on the back of Eric's head.

Aniston looked at Drew's appearance, and unconsciously felt a little pantothenic acid in her heart, she is Eric's real girlfriend, why does this scene look like she is the third party. And seeing that Drew now looked like a crazy female leopard, Aniston was instinctively a little frightened, as if if she got a little closer, she would be devoured alive by a wild beast.

Virginia quickly returned with her first aid kit: "Drew, let me come, I learned some first aid." โ€

Drew silently stepped away a little, watching Virginia skillfully bandage Eric's wounds, before he relaxed a little and glanced at Aniston who was standing next to him: "Didn't you say you were leaving, you can get out now, don't come to Eric in the future." โ€

"I ......" Aniston finally got angry: "I'm Eric's girlfriend, why do you order me!" You're just one of his pets! โ€

A sneer tugged at the corner of Drew's mouth: "What about pets, at least they won't be like you, a stubborn and stupid woman, who knows to play some self-righteous little tempers in front of him all day long." โ€

"You're stupid," Aniston retorted frantically, pointing at Virginia, "I'm his girlfriend, isn't he...... Shouldn't I be angry with him like this? โ€

"He's such a good man, what's wrong with playing with a few women?"

"You ......" Aniston was dumbfounded by Drew's powerful logic.

Virginia carefully bandaged the wound on Eric's forehead, touched Eric's chest and felt the other party's heartbeat before relieving her heart slightly. Listening to the arguing between the two girls with incorrect and illogical views, they were about to stop it in distress when the doorbell rang.

"The ambulance is coming," Aniston whispered, and Drew immediately forgot about the argument and rushed out to open the door.

Virginia didn't get up and hide upstairs until the ambulance drove to the door of the villa, she didn't want outsiders to find out that she was here, after all, she and Eric were not in a glamorous relationship. Aniston saw Virginia's actions and subconsciously wanted to hide upstairs, but caught a glimpse of Drew waving his little hand and eagerly explaining something to the medical staff who came by, and stopped again.

The paramedics re-treated Eric before carrying Eric, who was still unconscious, into the ambulance, and Aniston couldn't help but get into the ambulance when she saw Drew following him. The ambulance pulled out of Eric's mansion and roared all the way to the nearest hospital.

A paparazzi guarding the door of Eric's house was crazy when they saw this scene, and keenly felt that something big must have happened, so they started the car and followed.

Within an hour, news of Eric's injury and coma in the hospital spread through the news media in Los Angeles.

"This morning, the young director Eric Williams accidentally fell down the stairs and is still unconscious, this is the reporter of this station in Beverly Hills Cormier Surgical Hospital sent back the live report, "The TV screen switched to the exterior shot, in front of a hospital, there were forty or fifty reporters from various media, and the hustle and bustle almost completely blocked the entrance of the hospital, and the camera just appeared Al Pacino wearing sunglasses and walking off the business car with a stern face, and was quickly surrounded by a large group of reporters to interview.

A young blonde reporter stood in front of the camera and said with a microphone: "Eric has been in a coma for three hours now, and according to the information that has been revealed so far, Eric Williams has different contusions to his back, elbow and knee, but the most severe is a violent blow to his head and a large amount of blood loss. It is not certain whether this injury will lead to more severe consequences. It is well known that brain trauma is one of the most difficult injuries to estimate the consequences. โ€

Inside the hospital, Jeffrey and Capper were the first to arrive, followed by Al Pacino, Tom Hanks and other actors close to Eric, and the two directors also rushed over, Eric was sent to the ward after a series of examinations, and everyone gathered in the office to listen to Eric's analysis of his condition.

"CT and MRI results showed that Mr. Williams had no symptoms of skull fracture or internal bleeding in his head, so there is no need to be overly concerned at this time."

"Dr. Duncan, when will he wake up?" Drew, who was at the front of the crowd, asked eagerly.

Dr. Duncan hesitated for a moment, and said, "I think I'll wake up in eight hours." โ€

"Why should it be, doctor, aren't you sure?"

Dr. Duncan nodded truthfully.

"How so, you're a doctor, how can you be sure, aren't you the best doctor here?" Drew was so excited that he almost pounced, but was stopped by Jeffrey: "Drew, don't be polite." โ€

Dr. Duncan looked at the wolf Bรจi who was barefooted and the chest of his pajamas was still stained with blood, and did not mind the girl's rudeness, but patiently explained: "Miss Barrymore, Mr. Williams's injury should have woken up by now according to past experience, but he did not wake up according to common sense, so I can't give you an accurate answer, and I need to watch and wait patiently." โ€

Drew waved his hand irritably: "No, I'm going to a transfer, I'm going to the best hospital in Los Angeles, I'm ......"

Jeffrey pressed Drew's shoulder and whispered, "Drew, don't make trouble, this is already the best brain hospital in Los Angeles." โ€

Dr. Duncan added, "Perhaps, at this time, you can try to speak in the patient's ear, maybe it can have a wake-up effect." โ€

When Drew heard this, he immediately turned around and ran towards Eric's ward, and when the girl's figure disappeared, Jeffrey asked, "Doctor, does this method really work?" โ€

Dr. Duncan smiled wryly: "I just wanted to find something for Barrymore to do, her love is too unstable and likely to collapse." โ€

There was silence for a while, and no one said anything more. The group left the office and came to the door of Eric's ward, where they saw Drew lying on Eric's ear muttering something nervously, and they didn't lean over, but could only stand outside the hallway.

A few passers-by watched Al Pacino, Tom Hanks and other stars appear here, and they all wanted to step forward, but when they saw the cold looks of everyone, they all retreated with interest.

The eldest, Geoffrey, finally said, "Why don't you go back first, it's useless to be all here, just keep Kapoor and I here." โ€

When everyone heard this, they all said goodbye and left, and in the end only Jeffrey and Kapoor, and stubborn Aniston were left, and she also wanted to get to Eric's bedside, but she saw Drew looking crazy and a little scared.

Eight hours later, Eric still didn't wake up, and even in the evening, Eric showed no signs of waking up, Drew went crazy again, and transferred his worried anger to Aniston like crazy, and the little girl was scratched two blood marks on her neck before being pulled away by Jeffrey and Kapoor, and Aniston began to regret it a little, and even forgot to resist when Drew pounced.

In the evening, many people finally couldn't sit still, Barry Diyler of Fox and Amy Pascal of Colombia appeared in the hospital in the night, and a large group of reporters who were still blocking the entrance of the hospital were excited to surround the two again, but were pushed away by the tough bodyguards.

The two of them first visited Eric in the ward, and then asked the attending physician about Eric's condition as usual.

"Doctor, there's no way we're going to be in a vegetative state, is it?" Barry Diller listened to Duncan's explanation and asked the question that everyone wanted to ask the most but did not dare to ask.

Duncan rubbed the pen in his hand twice, and hesitated: "This probability is very small, but ...... It's not impossible. โ€

Fortunately, Drew is still at Eric's bedside, and if he hears this, he doesn't know what crazy he will be.

Jeffrey and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Barry Diller and Amy Pascal had even more gloom on their faces, not for Eric, but for Fox and Columbia, both of whom now have Eric film contracts on them, if Eric's next film project falls through......

After an hour of fruitless discussion, Barry Diller and Amy Pascal had to leave.

Perhaps everyone was going to be alarmed by Eric's play, and the next morning, at about four o'clock in the morning, Eric, who had been in a coma for nearly nineteen hours, finally woke up. After the doctor examined him, Drew, whose eyes were red and his hair was scattered, took Eric's big hand, who had woken up, rubbed his face affectionately for a while, and fell asleep on the edge of the bed.

Jeffrey and Kapoor, who had not slept all night, sat on the edge of Eric's hospital bed with relief, and seeing Drew's reaction, Kapoor stood up and said, "Eric, shall I take Drew to sleep in the next room?" โ€

"No, here it is," Eric said, pulling the girl up and laying down beside him. Then he said to Aniston, who was standing at the door with his hands behind his back, "Jenny, come here." โ€

Aniston obediently leaned over: "Eric, since you ...... Since you're awake, I'll go first. โ€

Eric reached out and grabbed Aniston, "Don't go, Janie." โ€

Kapoor and Jeffrey stood up and walked out, "Let's call the others to inform them that you're awake, they must still be worried now, and I'll be relieved to hear the news sooner." โ€

The room door closed and Aniston relaxed a little and sat down beside Eric's bed.

Eric strangely touched two red marks on Aniston's neck: "This is ......"

Aniston glanced at Drew, who was lying next to Eric, with a complicated gaze: "You bastard...... If you can't wake up, Drew will kill me. โ€

"Oh, she won't." Eric moved his big hand up and touched Aniston's face.

"No, she will," Aniston pulled Eric's hand down, "I think...... We'd better break up, maybe...... Maybe Drew is a better fit for you. โ€

"I just take Drew for ...... When my sister treats it. โ€

Aniston didn't dwell on the question anymore, but said, "But I ...... I really can't stand your heart, Eric, when I was in New York, I saw those news from you, I can still pretend to comfort myself that it was all made up by the tabloids, but what I saw yesterday morning, I can't lie to myself anymore, it's all true, I really can't stand it, so, you ...... Will you let me go? โ€

Eric held Aniston's small hand and tightened it: "Forget it, Jenny, let's not talk about this issue for now, I am planning to make a TV series recently, do you want to play the heroine?" I promise this TV series will make you more popular than those movie stars. โ€

Aniston tugged at her little hand, but couldn't pull it back: "I don't ......"

"I really can't think of a better person than you, Jenny, you don't think I'll do another audition, then there will be a lot of girls around me, you know, I'm always weak-willed."

"You ......"

"Okay, that's it."

"I ......"

Aniston is stubborn, but Eric is even stronger, just in response to the sentence of one thing to one thing, under Eric's nonsense attack, Aniston agreed in a daze, and when she reacted, the little girl found that she had been lying on the other side of Eric, she and Drew did not sleep all night, so she quickly fell asleep next to Eric.

Although Eric had woken up, it could have been that Eric had woken up too late, and the newspapers had already been printed.

Anyway, the next day, the news of Eric's prolonged coma appeared in the newspaper.

"Eric Williams is injured unexpectedly, the filming plan will be postponed, and Colombia may lose its heavyweight bargaining chips."

"According to inside sources, Williams has been unconscious for a long time and may be in a vegetative state, and if this happens, several film contracts with Columbia and Twentieth Century Fox will be aborted, and the future of Firefly, which is gaining momentum, will be uncertain."

Both types of news appeared in the newspapers, but after the news of Eric Waking Up was clarified by Fox in time, these sensational reports became a dead letter, although it caused a brief decline in the shares of Columbia and Fox after the opening of the morning, but quickly calmed down as the news was clarified.

At the same time, some people have also focused on other aspects, and this off-the-beaten-path focus has also attracted the attention of a large number of readers, such as the above news: "As we all know, Eric Williams does not have any relatives at present, although the child star Drew Barrymore and Williams are close, but the two are not related by blood, nor do they have any legal connection, it is said that Eric Williams did not make any will before, once Eric Williams has an accident, Its vast assets worth hundreds of millions of dollars will be left uninherited, or they may be taken over by the federal government. โ€

In the ward, although Eric felt that he was fully recovered, he had to stay in the hospital for a few more days at the doctor's suggestion and everyone's insistence.

Looking at this message, Eric smiled and said to Drew next to him: "Maybe I should really make a will, girl, how much do you want?" โ€

"Of course it's all mine," Drew looked through a magazine boredly and glanced up at Eric, "Have you forgotten what our relationship is?" โ€

"Uh...... I thought you would say I don't want a penny, as long as you are good, but it makes me sad that you want all my property. โ€

"Humph!"

While Eric was bored in the hospital room thinking about whether to make a will, the British paparazzi thousands of miles away found another thing, Eric's father was indeed dead, but his mother's identity was a mystery, this discovery made many paparazzi ecstatic, if the whereabouts of Eric Williams's mother could be found, it would definitely be explosive news.

As the birthplace of the paparazzi, the British paparazzi have a really good digging ability, and soon discovered Eric's residence in London when he was a teenager, and then visited the neighbors near Eric's house one by one, and sure enough, they found some clues.

"That's a very temperamental woman......"

"Even when I go out, I'm always veiled, and I've never seen her for ......"

"I guess it's a rich lady, but she disappeared after giving birth to a child, Ralph really took shit luck......"

The British tabloids only found these few words, that is, no one remembered Eric Williams's mother at all, which made the tabloids more playful, and agreed that it could be a fairy tale of a princess falling in love with a groom, although it didn't end well, but it was single with a wonderful son.

The fabricated news quickly reached the United States, and Eric was not surprised to see it, but he was relieved. If there is really a 'mother' he has never met, he really doesn't know how to deal with it, and it is better to keep this mystery forever.

After April Fool's Day, Eric left the hospital after another careful examination, and the turmoil was completely over. The preparations are all in place, and in the remaining few days, Eric has already begun to run in with Cruise and Hanks, waiting for the official start of the film on April 5th.
