Chapter 53: Terminal Illness

"Okay, that's all for today, tomorrow for a day off, our progress is going well, this is a reward for everyone!"

Director Rupert Sanders clapped his hands and announced that this was the end of today's shooting, and announced the time of the day after tomorrow. The crowd began to leave the studio.

The studio was mainly used to shoot special effects shots, and the actors and actresses usually had to perform on a blank stage. Then add the special effects synthesis in the later stage, and you can form a dense jungle and what kind of wonderful magic changes.

Christine sat in the dressing room to remove her makeup, to be honest, it was troublesome to remove makeup, the makeup artist and assistant were busy on the side, Christine was calm and relaxed, and did not seem to be in a hurry at all.

A white man next to him looked a little impatient and walked around the dressing room.

"Beck, you're shaking my head dizzy."

Christine complained to the man dissatisfiedly. This man is the Johnny Baker that Zhen Fan met at Billy Foshan, a member of the Johnny family, which is also one of the major shareholders of Universal Pictures.

In fact, today is not the director Rupert Sanders who is kind enough to give the actors a day off, but this Johnny Baker asks the director that he needs Christine to take a day off to attend his father's birthday party.

Sanders hates this playboy the most, doing nothing and sometimes interfering with the filming schedule, so he can only agree, but he secretly warns Christine not to affect the filming progress for personal reasons.

Christine is also very annoyed, he is annoyed by Johnny Baker's entanglement, but he is helpless, because this play was also recommended by this playboy, this is her opportunity, and even the generous salary also makes her tempted.

Although she is very famous after filming the "Twilight Zone" series, and there is no shortage of good dramas to pick up, she still doesn't want to do things that obviously offend the bigwigs of Universal Pictures.

"I'll take you to order a dress today, and tomorrow I'll make you appear at the banquet in the most beautiful image!" Johnny apparently treats Christine like a vase, which disgusts Christine.

"I promise to be your companion, but...... I have my own options, okay? Christine retorted unceremoniously, "I have my own assistants and makeup artists, and they know what kind of image will be suitable for me!" ”

Johnny was stunned for a moment, still unwilling, and wanted to say something.

"Don't talk about this, okay? We didn't discuss this, I don't want to be your puppet, you know, it's a big deal that you kicked me out of this play! ”

Christine really doesn't have a good impression of Johnny, a typical playboy who doesn't have much ability, and only spends his days drinking and enjoying the wealth brought by his parents.

"Okay, okay!" Johnny raised his hands, "So where are we going for dinner today?" How was that restaurant last time? A French meal might be a good choice! ”

"I'm not going anywhere, I'm going home!"

Christine looked at Johnny in the mirror, who was stunned.

"I'm tired from a day of filming, I want to take a break, Baker, you go first, tomorrow I promise to appear at the banquet, don't worry about this, I promised you that I would do it!"

"It's not fair, Christine, I've been waiting for you here for a day!" Johnny's face was ugly, and he was a little angry.

"I didn't ask you to wait for me!"

Christine's makeup had been removed, she had tidied up her clothes, and she was ready to leave with her satchel and assistant.

"Wait!"

Johnny grabbed Christine's arm.

Christine was pulled by him, her arm was a little painful, and she couldn't help frowning and looking at him: "Mr. Baker, I respect you as a gentleman, I can ignore your behavior, but if you do this again, I will protest to the director team and let it go!" ”

"Okay!" Johnny saw that Christine was resolute, let go, raised his hands, and then pointed at Christine, "I hope you can remember tomorrow's banquet!" ”

"I won't forget, if you have someone else, I can quit!"

"See you tomorrow!"

Johnny's face was very unsightly, and then he turned around and walked outside, and then he heard a "clang" and the sound of someone exclaiming.

"Damn, who put the lamppost here? Are you idiots? ”

With the sound of angry shouting, then there was a mixture of footsteps and the sound of scrambling.

"What's wrong?"

Christine looked at her assistant, an Irish girl named Sibella McKinley, whose name was also typical of the Irish.

Sibella went out to take a look, and came back with a look of disgust.

"As Mr. Baker was leaving, he hit a lamppost and fell on the head of the gaffer, Roke Smith, and the scene was chaotic, and the guts guy fled!"

It seems that Sibella doesn't have a good impression of Johnny either.

"Check it out!" When Christine heard that she had hit someone, she quickly got up and walked out.

"God, he fainted! I don't even know what to do? A staff member complained to director Sanders, "Damn it, it's already slipped!" ”

"Call 911," Sanders commanded.

"It's already been fought, and it should be almost there!"

"Better hurry, Henry, send another gaffer tomorrow, you damn bastard!" Sanders roared, even if the movie was terminated for a day, there was still such a problem, I don't know who I was scolding, maybe it was the timid and troublesome playboy, but it could also be Christine who provoked the playboy.

That's at least what he thought in his heart. Johnny Baker is the one Christine provoked.

"Damn bastard!"

Christine saw the injured and fallen gaffer Luke Smith, and couldn't help but curse too, of course, the object of her scolding was Johnny.

Rook Smith is a nice middle-aged man, down-to-earth and hardworking, and takes good care of Christine, often helping Christine with a little favor.

"Weishenme: A small injury can lead to a coma?" Sanders was still questioning the people around him, "Henry, the weishenme ambulance hasn't come yet?" God, it's bad enough here, take care of this place, I'll go first. With that, he left the studio without looking back.

Leave assistant Henry to continue dealing with the accident.

Christine helped hold a handkerchief against Luke's forehead, but blood still oozed from time to time.

With a shrill siren, the ambulance finally arrived, and several medics walked in on stretchers, and then began to examine Rook Smith's body and perform a simple stop to the bleeding.

"Let's take him away first, which of you is going to follow? Is anyone responsible for him? A medical worker shouted.

"It's me, sir, I'll follow!" Henry raised his hand.

"And me!" Christine also answered without hesitation.

"Miss Stewart......" Assistant Sibella wants to stop Christine.

"No, I must go! He's my friend! Christine didn't hesitate and got into the ambulance, but Sibella couldn't and had to follow in the car.

Seeing that Luke was taken to the emergency room, Christine breathed a sigh of relief. I sit on the chair of the rest on the side.

"Just have me here!" Henry said to Christine, "You better go and rest!" ”

"Well, call me for something!"

Christine is not reluctant, she is tired for a day, she does feel tired, and she just wants to sleep well.

Back at the villa in Billy Foshan, Christine lived with her assistant, she took a hot shower, felt a little tired, and went to bed early, but some things happened today, haunting her heart, and she couldn't sleep.

If only Zhen were here! Christine suddenly appeared in Zhen Fan's shadow. He is a master doctor of insomnia, and when he heard that his clinic was open, he didn't congratulate him......

Thinking of this, Christine couldn't help but shake her head.

When she finally fell asleep in a daze, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and when she woke up, she couldn't help patting her forehead when she saw that it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

"Sibella, did Henry call?"

Christine was still thinking about it.

"No, no, maybe it's not a big deal, after all, it's just a small accident!" Sibella shrugged her shoulders and said it didn't matter.

"I'd better hit one and ask about the situation, Rook is a good guy!"

Christine dialed the phone, and then Henry's voice came.

"It's not going to be very good!" Henry's first words scared Christine.

"Was it the lamp head?"

"No, it's not, it's just a minor injury, it's not a big deal, but ...... In Luke's head, doctors found a tumor, a tumor that had been there for a long time, and it was already in the middle and advanced stages. This syncope is related to tumors! Henry's words were not optimistic.

"I'll check it out right away!" Christine put down the phone and got ready to get dressed and head out.

"You're reckless in doing so! Miss Stewart! Sibella had to come out to stop her at this time, after all, Christine is a public figure and is easy to cause unnecessary trouble.

"What is more important than human life? Sibella! Christine didn't give Sibella a reason to refute and rushed out the door.

"It's a terrible situation, and if you have surgery, the chances of success are only 30 percent! Maybe even lower! The doctor told Henry and Christine the truth.

"That's ...... It's terrible! ”

Henry shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm going to find someone to replace him again! What a damn one! ”

Christine looked at Henry and glared at him with some dissatisfaction, this is very sad, now these people are focusing on not Ruk, but their own movies.

"I'm going to see Rook!"

Christine approached the ward without looking back. Luke was lying on the hospital bed, with tubes in his body, his eyes blank, and he watched Christine come in, barely smiling.

"I didn't expect the big stars to come back to see me!"

"No, it's nothing, I really didn't expect it......" Christine's face was a little heavy, "Luke, you're going to be fine!" ”

"I know what my situation is, it's already like this, what else can I say, God may let me go to heaven, I've been longing for it for a long time!" Luke forced a smile, "But, Xiexie, Christine, you're such a kind girl!" ”

"Are you going to give up?"

"What else? While I can still move, I want to leave the hospital tomorrow, this damn place, one more day, it feels like I've died a day earlier! ”

"Hah! You're really ......" Christine wanted to make a joke, but didn't have the heart to say it, "Well, if you insist on it, I agree with you!" ”
