Although from a medical point of view, Jenny has been in a coma for more than 20 days, and did not fully regain consciousness until yesterday, which can be defined as completely awake from a medical point of view, it is said that she should now have a relatively weak recovery period, and has no spare energy to care about work matters, and should take recuperation as the first priority, but only Jenny herself knows her current situation, she is indeed extremely curious about what is happening in the outside world, and she can even be said to be impatient - this is mainly because, in the entertainment space, She has spent more than 60 days, and what is even more terrifying is that she is basically in a state of sobriety for more than 60 days, and can only pass the time by watching movies and simulating performances, and even watching movies for more than two months, even people who love acting will vomit, Jenny is like this now, she is temporarily in a state of contentment for performance theory and acting career, and therefore she is particularly concerned about the changes in the real world, just to re-establish the connection between herself and the world, otherwise there is still a feeling of still dreaming, Just like the characters in "Inception", you can't tell whether this is reality or a dream.

- Maybe it's because of this, although she suffered a lot of injuries in the kidnapping incident, but to say how much psychological trauma, at least I can't see it now, Jenny's own memory until she rolled down the stairs, and then I can't remember clearly, when she woke up again, she was in absolutely safe acting space, and vaguely guessed that the reason why she was here was because of brain trauma, which is being repaired, and when the brain is restored to the extent that it can carry consciousness, it can return to reality. Since she doesn't feel pain, and she doesn't worry about death, she really doesn't feel any negative emotions except for the irritability of waiting, but it wasn't until the last ten days that she began to return to reality from time to time, but she couldn't stay long, and she returned to the performing arts space in a coma, which is still quite annoying. Therefore, although she returned to her body yesterday, she didn't know when she would 'die' back, and it wasn't until she lasted a night, and now that it has been 24 hours, she can be sure that she has really woken up and will not be kicked off the line and forced to run away.

Of course, it is also because every time she wakes up, she can feel that her body has improved, and after waking up this time, except for fatigue and dizziness, there are basically no adverse symptoms, Jenny will have the confidence to say "I know that I am not in danger", and she is not qualified to eat solid food at all - she knows that her recovery process is somewhat abnormal, from the speed at which the blood is absorbed, the disappearance of the bleeding point, and even the fact that she has been in a coma for more than 20 days without any signs of muscle atrophy, etc., have aroused the strong interest of the doctors. With Cesare's intervention, she was not tested as a laboratory animal, and top doctors from all over the United States could only accept the explanation that Jennifer was superb, but Cesare may have had a number in his own mind, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why he would sneak in a cheeseburger to eat her, even if she demanded it strongly.

However, for now, although she has preliminarily agreed with Judy's decision, or has read her report hastily, Jenny still feels that she has not really established a connection with the world, she still has a feeling of dreaming, from waking up to the present, she is basically constantly being pushed to a new consultation room, doing all kinds of scans and tests - this is really difficult to establish a sense of reality, even the food has become liquid, or the taste of cheeseburgers has become completely unfamiliar, If it weren't for the familiarity of tonight's Ballon d'Or - the pretentious atmosphere, the familiar faces - and the constant typing of the keyboard by Cesare beside her, Jenny would never have had the feeling that she was waking up, and she really needed some information to bring out that familiar thought pattern in her mind.

"The first thing you need to know is...... GE's investment is yellow. Cesare said, his tone inaudible to anger. Of course, in that case, GE's choice is understandable. ”

Venture capital, the main thing to look at is people, in the case of the life and death of the core character, it is reasonable to temporarily postpone the decision, Jenny already has a feeling of being re-immersed in reality, she frowned, "Is it completely canceled?" Not a pause? ”

"GE is not very satisfied with our crisis management capabilities." "That's a big reason why they decided to give up on investing or to go back to consideration, and your accident is just one of them, but of course, concerns about your long-term health are also part of the reason." ”

Without waiting for Jenny to ask, he took the initiative to explain, "After the accident broke out, we did not contact GE in time to explain the reason, and GE could not find anyone to confirm the matter, they believed that this exposed the company's internal management chaos and lack of emergency plans." ”

"But it's not fair to Big Dream, first of all, it's just me and you, it's top secret, and no one knows the whole situation without the two of us, and has the contact information, and second, Zad's accident has involved you too—not that you're not being held hostage-" Jenny said defensively, sitting up straight unconsciously, and her dizziness was much better. "-- Forget it, these considerations are really just an excuse to step down, and GE just doesn't want to say the phrase 'I may not wake up' -- which can be regarded as a kind of self-cultivation."

Under Cesare's warning glare, she lay back and waved her hand, "I'll talk about this after I'm discharged from the hospital—it's still going to be discussed." ”

To her surprise, Cesare didn't show any enthusiasm for the matter, at least colder than Jeanne had imagined, and he just gave a brief nod back and moved on to the next topic, "As for the company, it's running pretty well, it was chaotic for a while at first, but then it quickly regained its rhythm, of course, the original work plan must have been affected, but it's not the release and promotion period for the new film, so it didn't delay anything." ”

"Normal." Jenny said lazily, "Originally, I didn't interfere much in the specific operation, I didn't have the same as me, haha......"

Cesare gave her a roll of the eyes, and her laughter faded, "Didn't you delay the payment due?" Strange, I thought Paramount was going to kill them—you know, since I could hang up at any moment—"

"It's only been more than 20 days since I was engaged, and I haven't reached the next settlement cycle yet." "But I know what you're asking -- is anyone taking advantage of this to the detriment of the company?" As far as I know, no, on the contrary, maybe we still owe a big favor to the Big Six. ”

Perhaps because she was in good spirits, Cesare spoke more carefully, basically explaining everything that had happened during this time, "...... So, if you say that Judy saved the world, we found some useful clues on the computer and landed on the mail server that Edward was using - he stored a lot of pictures of Sheff in it, and without her, the second email might have been catastrophic, and it was really hard to predict where things would have gotten then. ”

Jeanne listened to him quietly, this time without commenting, just nodding briefly, and Cesare carefully observing her expression, which made her laugh. “what？”

"I want to know what you think." Cesare said that he showed a rare sign of hesitation, "otherwise my strategy would be a gross dereliction of duty—"

"What do you think I want?" Jenny said, the corners of her mouth curling involuntarily, "Tell me about it?" ”

Cesare didn't speak, just pursed his lips, Jenny's smile deepened, and she said softly, "Yes, this matter, I can only hope for it, it is inconvenient to say it explicitly, and I can't even refuse to cooperate, otherwise, I will be too unprofessional......"

Although vague, this sentence was enough for Cesare to understand her wishes, and his eyebrows stretched slightly, but the gloom between his eyebrows still did not completely dissipate, and he shook his head wordlessly, and was silent for a while before saying, "But you have paid enough - too much." ”

"But I also have the best share of the profits." Jenny said in a relieved tone, "Look—it's a fair game after all. ”

A helpless smile escaped from the corner of Cesare's lips, he shook his head again, and reached out and pressed his hand on the back of Jeanne's hand, Jenny turned her palm over and clasped it with him—there was a slight numbness in her fingertips, as if after many days of deep sleep, the sense of touch had not fully recovered, and only Cesare's body temperature could be faintly felt, and fragmentary memories flashed through his mind, difficult to place in the timeline: pain, cold, his soothing expression in the chaotic and vague perspective-

She tightened her palms and gave Cesare an absent-minded smile, a sudden hint of apology, which should have been the first question she had asked—"Are you alright?" ”

“…… It's passable. Cesare said, looking down at the two men's clasped hands, "Since you're awake now, that's even better." ”

"Really?" Jenny said, jokingly defiant, "Then why don't you look up at me?" ”

Cesare's shoulders stiffened visibly, and he replied after a moment, "Perhaps because I'm afraid I'll get too close, I'll be tempted to take your cheeseburger away—you've already eaten half of it, and I don't think it's a good idea to eat it any more." ”

Jenny couldn't help but sneer, but she only laughed for a moment, because such a big movement still made her feel dizzy, and she squeezed Cesare's palm again, "Seriously, how are you?" ”

“…… I'm really okay. Cesare said, leaning back and looking up at Jenny, "It's just...... It's something that does make you feel a lot, doesn't it? It will make you feel ignorant and vulnerable, how disrespectful you are, how arrogant you are......"

His head hung down briefly, but—Cesare almost forced himself, he quickly raised his face again, maintaining eye contact, and the emotion on his face—almost so foreign to Jeanne—it took her a moment to affirm that Cesare, who never showed weakness and always occupied the high ground, was indeed full of guilt. "I'm just sorry that you were the one who paid for my mistakes."

"But let's not repeat the 'it's a two-person decision' conversation." Jeanne said she grinned at Cesare and tried to temper the mood, though perhaps that might not have worked—Cesare must have known her point, but he probably wouldn't forgive himself for it, "I've said too much in front of Zade, haven't I?" ”

Cesare smiled as he cooperated, collecting the guilt from his face, and the room fell into a comforting silence again. Until Jenny's soft laughter broke the silence - she watched Cesare's expression change, and then laughed unconsciously.

"How?" Cesare asked, raising an eyebrow at her, his tone deliberately unpleasant.

"I'm just thinking, my God, how much have you changed in the last ten years—" said Jeanne, "think about what the Cesare I had just met would have said in such a situation?" 'This is an unavoidable natural and man-made disaster, and I deeply sympathize with your misfortune, but it is too difficult for me to ask for responsibility for it—'"

She imitated Cesare's tone so vividly that even he was amused, and Jeanne laughed for a moment before stopping.

"That's what all this ordeal is about, isn't it?" "We've been through so much in the last 10 years, Cesare, we've changed so much, we've grown forever, and no one can predict what's to come," she said. Ten years ago would we have believed that one day I would have no objection to telling the truth? Would we have thought that you would prepare a team of lawyers for this? -- Are we so strong that we won't be ruined even if the truth is revealed? -- This was a fantasy 10 years ago, and maybe 10 years from now, our thinking will change dramatically - don't think it's impossible. ”

"There is no such idea." Cesare said that his dark blue eyes looked at Jeanne like a shallow sea in the light.

"—and the only thing we know is that it will not change in the last ten years and in the next ten years," Jenny whispered, "there is no 'anyone's responsibility', without you or me, we face everything together, and we will face everything together." ”

Cesare's eyes curled, and the invisible pressure—the guilt that only loomed in the aura—slowly dissipated.

"Anything." He said, raising his free hand as if to caress her hair—but in mid-air he changed his mind and only adjusted the thin blanket for her. - Do you want to know who visited you while you were in a coma? Mary seems to have made a form—oh, by the way, Josh, Salvi and Heath, Leo, Chris, and of course Lillian all want to talk to you—and if you're in good spirits, they'll probably all be coming to visit you in the last few days. ”

"Where's Robert?" Jenny asked, "Didn't he call?" ”

"And Robert." "Of course he cares about you, too—but you know, to mention him, there's going to be a whole bunch of names to follow." ”

Of course, Jenny knew that they had all been here, in fact, Lillian only returned to Los Angeles when she began to be intermittently awake and the signs of improvement were becoming more and more obvious, after all, she was already a mother, and she always had her own things to take care of, as for the rest of her friends, although they were all very concerned, but now that the visiting time and number of people are strictly limited, and communication and transportation are very developed, it is not of much sense to stay in San Francisco and other news, so most of them return to their daily lives after the visit. Only Mary and Cesare are still in San Francisco, including Jim, who has returned to Los Angeles to take charge of the company.

"Tomorrow." She said, letting out a soft sigh, "That's it for tonight—you're going to stay with me, aren't you?" ”

"Of course." Cesare said without thinking, "Just like last night, I slept outside." ”

"That's good." Jeanne said that she felt a little sleepy, so she pushed the small table aside, and Cesare naturally went to collect the miscellaneous items from his head, and he poured Jenny another glass of water, and got up to go out to do some chores, and Jeanne took the opportunity to pick up the remote control again.

"J.J—" Cesare poked his head out of the bathroom in a little annoyance.

"Just watch it for a while," said Jenny, pleadingly, "you watch TV with me for a while before you go to work." ”

Despite some reluctance, Cesare relented, and he returned to his place, watching the boring evening news with Jenny - the Golden Globes are over, and what is now being shown is a brief review, of course, the biggest headline must be Jenny's sobriety, and the TV station has selected a combination of images of her winning the Golden Globe over the years, which makes more than a dozen Jenny, with different looks and equally bright smiles, 'all together', spectacular.

"I think there must be a lot of fans cheering for this good news tonight, and it can even be said that it is a worldwide carnival." The female anchor said with a smile, "In Akihabara, Tokyo, Japan, fans spontaneously formed a queue typesetting, spelling out Jennifer's initials and congratulating her on her sobriety. Half an hour ago in Los Angeles, unknown people set off fireworks next to Jennifer's avatar, and the topic on Twitter quickly became the hottest hashtag of the day. Jefferson's sobriety and delight—"

"Interesting." Jenny suddenly laughed and repeated the anchor's words softly, "It looks like the whole world is fighting for Jennifer. Jefferson's sober and happy ......"

Cesare cast an inquiring look, Jenny shook her head slightly, and she continued to look at the screen intently, looking at the countless moments when Jennifer took the trophy with a light smile.

She said leisurely, "I'm just thinking about when the whole world is working for Jennifer. Jefferson was happy when I was sober and for Jenny. How many people are there who are happy with Jefferson......"
