At the moment before opening the door of his house, Theolod was still lamenting that as an old man who had lived for more than 60 years and had long seen many things, he would not be able to see such a simple thing clearly and get close to the edge of danger again, almost jumping into the sea, not to mention, and still need a child in his thirties to wake himself up.

Yes, before opening the door, Theolod focused on being enlightened by a "child", even though the child was a psychiatrist he needed so badly.

Then, the next second after opening the door, Theolod will be faced with another problem - how to explain his whereabouts that night to Maggie and Marshall, who are sitting on the sofa in his living room.

Hey, good morning, grandma, Marshall, you are all here, have you had breakfast? Oh, you ask him where he went that night? In fact, it is just a sign that depression has flareed up again, so he went to the beach to blow the wind, lay on the beach and count the stars, by the way, he almost jumped into the sea, but was rescued by the driver who is a psychiatrist by his second profession, slept in his bed for the night, took medicine and breakfast and came back, unscathed, and the night was quite thrilling.

If he had explained it this way, he would have been picked up by the two of them and escorted to the psychiatrist's office.

Damn, he forgot to call Maggie, causing her to worry all night, she definitely didn't sleep well this night, the old man needs sleep.

Theolod took a deep breath and looked at Maggie sitting on the couch. Although Maggie was relieved to see Theorod return safely, she was still angry that he didn't come home at night and didn't make a phone call, so she was staring at Theorod with round eyes and reproach.

"Sorry, grandma, for worrying you, I just ...... I drank too much at the dinner and it was too late to come back to bother you, so I spent the night at the Hilton Hotel and only rushed back this morning. Theolod did not want to tell Maggie about his illness, because the truth was more worrying to her than not returning at night, and he only wanted her to live her old age carefree and peaceful.

"Why do you drink so much? You have to pay attention to your body, Theo, if this kind of thing happens in the future, you have to call me first anyway, you know?" Maggie frowned and looked at Theorod who was standing in front of her, with a guilty face and sincerely apologized, her heart softened, and she sighed, "I'm going to make you a cup of tea and sober up, do you have a headache?"

"No, no......" Theolod shook his head, "No need to make tea, grandma, you must not have slept well this night, you better go and rest first." ”

Maggie really didn't sleep well, so seeing Theorod say this, she nodded and left the living room to Theorod and Marshall.

"I know you've definitely drunk before, but in front of the public...... You're not yet twenty-one, you know? I remember I told you before, don't touch alcohol under twenty-one. Marshall frowned and looked at Theorod, "And now I'm worried not only about what would happen if the media found out about your hangover last night, but also one thing, you honestly answer me, did you spend last night alone?"

"Yes. Theorod nodded quite naturally.

"No other female celebrities?

"Nope. ”

"You know you can lie to anyone about this kind of thing, but not to your agent, right? Let me ask again, you really didn't get drunk and spend the night with another female celebrity?"

"Really not, Marshall, if I am entangled with a female celebrity, if it is not made up by other gossip tabloids, it is maliciously hyped by the other party. And if there really is such a scandal, I guarantee that you are the first to know. Theolod swore to look into Marshall's eyes, "I won't have any girlfriends, and I won't take the initiative to create scandals." ”

"Okay, I understand that you just want to lay a good foundation for your future at this stage, but I'm not the kind of unreasonable exploitative freak, I won't interfere in your relationship, as long as you don't do stupid things...... You shouldn't be able to do anything stupid, though. Marshall patted Theolod on the shoulder, "It's better to do less of this kind of thing in the future, this time I was not caught by reporters, what about next time? And you can scare your grandmother enough, I have to leave my girlfriend in the middle of the night and come over to accompany your old man." ”

“…… Thank you, Marshall, and, I'm sorry, the fault of this matter is on me. Theorod slowly lowered his eyes, avoiding Marshall's gaze.

But Marshall didn't pay attention to Theorod's small movements. He looked him up and down, and suddenly remembered something: "Wait a minute, where is your trophy?"

“…… Probably...... I forgot about it in the hotel......"

Hell, it must have fallen into Herman's car.

“…… It's the first fucking time I've ever seen a celebrity so disdain their first Ballon d'Or trophy, and that's the Golden Globe! ”

"No, you can actually let Herman go over and get it. The makeshift driver you hired for me, he was a dutiful guy and gave me back this morning for free. Theolod took advantage of Marshall's mobile phone and hurriedly mentioned it.

"Herman? Oh yes, Herman Locke, he's dutiful, you can't call yesterday, he should call me and let me know, and he didn't do anything......!

Theolod looked at him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart - this pot, let Herman carry it for a while...... Let's talk about it.

Eventually, Herman, who was inexplicably questioned by Marshall on the phone, delivered Theorod's trophy to his home in the afternoon. As an apology, Theolod also offered him a long-term contract, and the price offered was very generous - of course, the psychiatrist paid a lot of commission. For this, Marshall was still a little dissatisfied, and Herman had this kind of thing on his first night as a driver for Theolod, and he would of course doubt his ability.

But Marshall couldn't interfere with Theorod's decision, not to mention, he didn't know that Theorod offered Herman a long-term contract because he needed a reliable enough psychiatrist, and from the previous brief relationship, Theorod could see that Herman was quite reliable.

Although Theolod didn't know why Herman had abandoned his well-paid career as a psychiatrist to become a full-time driver, Herman didn't want to say it, and he wouldn't be nosy. Herman was right about one thing, and that was that he couldn't rely on his own perseverance anymore, after all, depression and drug/addiction are very different, and perseverance may play a role, but more often than not, it will require long-term professional treatment, otherwise there is a high chance that the situation last night would have happened.

The most important thing is that as long as Theolod does not give up acting for a day, then his depression will never be cured.

He had a relapse when he played "Strange Boy" before, and his mental state has been on the edge during "Devil's Advocate", and the Golden Globe Award reminded him of the past of that world, and he almost walked into that dangerous place again. Without a psychiatrist by his side, he relapsed more and more often, and Theorod understood this all too well.

He didn't want to tell anyone about his illness, because he knew that once the matter was exposed, he would have fewer and fewer opportunities to perform, and he didn't want his family and friends to worry about it, and he didn't want to get sympathy from anyone, such as Maggie and Nattel. But his concealment caused him to lose a friend.

Theolod sat in front of the TV, but couldn't lift his energy. Tonight was the night of the 69th Oscar nominations announced, and a few seconds ago, he heard his name again, and Maggie screamed with excitement the moment it came out of the hostess's mouth.

"Theo, I heard you right?!Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor!" Maggie excitedly pinched Theolod's arm.

"Yes, you heard it right, Grandma. ”

"Then why don't you seem excited at all?"

"Why be excited? It's just a nomination. ”

"But this is an Oscar nomination, an Oscar!"

"That's right, it's just an Oscar nomination, so what?"

“……”

Maggie glared at Theolod incredulously. Of course, she didn't know that when her grandson was in a parallel world, she didn't know how many times she heard her name on the night of the "Oscar" nomination announcement in that world, and she didn't know that he had long been interested in this academic "reward" award.

Others may not be able to get an Oscar nomination once in their lifetime, but he has become a dispensable name, which is also a realm.

And his friends were much more excited than the nominee, and as soon as the nomination for Best Supporting Actor was announced, the phone rang one after another. There are even crew or staff members who Theolod has worked with before but are not familiar with it at all and have not exchanged numbers, and they got his number out of nowhere, and they called to congratulate him.

Theorod thanked the men gently and politely, but he didn't really take their congratulations to heart. The Oscar is like a status symbol of "aristocrat", even if you haven't gotten it yet, just got a nomination that has anything to do with it, there are countless characters who are swooped up by the desire for profit, and they have a harmonious face like a brother for many years. No matter what the world, such snobbery is the same, just a little more.

Is it true that he is ignorant at a young age, and he is easy to bully?

However, Pacino did call after the nominations were announced. He and Theolod tacitly didn't say a word about what happened at the dinner party before, which made Theorod appreciate his acting skills and have a little more affection for him as a person. In Hollywood, there are always friends who make the right ones.

Harmony seemed to be drunk when he called, slurring his words and yelling that he must ask Theolod to hang out. Listening to the noise on his end, Theolod reluctantly accepted his invitation and put the matter behind him.

Without Natle's phone, it was natural that he had said no more contact.

Theolod sighed, casually put on a coat and hat and went out. He's going to buy wine, yes, because Maggie wants to drink it, saying it's to celebrate, and Theolod doesn't listen to how much she tries to persuade her. When the old man reaches a certain age, he will be a little childish, and he can't resist her, so Theolod has to go out and help her buy wine.

Of course, you can't buy it in a supermarket near his home, and there are many paparazzi in ambush near his house, especially on the night of the Oscar nomination announcement.

And he also needed a driver, and Herman was just the right fit.

Theolod eventually got out of the car at a small 24-hour supermarket seven blocks from his home, found two bottles of low-proof fruit wine, and walked to the cash register.

Behind the cash register sat a young girl, thin, with long brown hair and a shawl, and her big light brown eyes were bloodshot from staying up late, but her smile was sweet, just like the girl next door, and some were familiar, so that Theorod couldn't help but look at her twice.

"Good evening, sir, only two bottles of wine, aren't you?" said the girl to Theorod, who must have said this so many times a day, that her voice smacked of machinery and coping with errands.

However, her voice made Theorod frown the moment she spoke.

"Coria?"

Theorod lifted his face, which had been hidden by the brim of his hat, and looked at the girl behind the counter. She looked like she was less than sixteen years old, just a high school student.

Seeing that the customer in front of her could call her name, the girl who was filling the wine in the bag looked up in surprise, and then at that moment, she felt as if she had fallen into a sea of stars, and her eyes, which were almost rendered dark blue by the shadow of the brim of her hat, were looking at her with a gentle smile and joy.

These eyes are enough to make any ignorant adolescent fall in love instantly.

But Corria didn't feel any pounding, her eyes widened, and she even took a step back in some panic as she recognized who the man in front of her was.

Theolod Lecht, the star who rose to fame in Hollywood, the star poster on the dream lover center and locker that now becomes the after-school chat of his classmates, the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor winner who is called Prince and Angel by his friends, the acting genius who shocked Hollywood as soon as he appeared......

The boy who followed his brother Nattle around in North Las Vegas.
