Chapter 962 962 Silent Call

Hugo jumped up quickly, dodged Charlize's pillow attack, trotted all the way to the phone with a smile, and picked up the phone, "Good evening, who's talking on the phone?" Considering Charlize's mother Jere Da may call, but now Hugo and the others use this anonymous method to answer the phone, and directly ask who the other party is.

There was silence on the phone, as if Hugo was speaking to the air. This made Hugo glance at the receiver curiously, then put it to his ear, and asked again, "Who is talking on the phone?"

There was no busy tone in the receiver, just silence. This is a typical situation with poor signal. The other party may be yelling, but it can't come through at all, so Hugo has no sound here. Generally, in such a situation, you have to hang up the phone and dial again, and there will be no problem.

Hugo thought it was a little strange. This kind of thing happens more often on mobile phones. Because of the distribution of signal towers, the signal is strong or weak, so it will always fail to receive calls. However, because the fixed phone is wired, the signal will be relatively stable.

Hugo recalled that this kind of situation always happened at home from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, and looked back at Charlize, "Is the phone signal at home often bad recently?"

Charlize looked at Hugo suspiciously, "No, the phone signal has always been good." After she said that, she also responded, "It's a phone call without sound again?" Hugo nodded, and Charlize was puzzled. He said, "I haven't received a silent call at home for a long time. You can call after you hang up with the other party to see if the other party can hear you."

Hugo didn't think about it, and said into the receiver, "Hello, who is talking on the phone? I can't hear you here, I'll hang up, and then you can call again." After speaking, Hugo waited again. After a while, there was still no sound, and he planned to hang up the phone, but at this moment, a faint sound of wind came from the receiver.

Hugo stopped the action of taking the receiver away from his ears. He wondered if he heard it wrong or if he really heard a strange sound, because the wind sounded like a signal, and it was like the sound of breathing... The sound of breathing? The sound of breathing! Hugo suddenly had an incredible idea in his mind.

Hugo held the receiver and didn't hang up. He looked back at Charlize again, "Do you remember when you started getting calls with such bad signals?"

Charlize didn't think much, scratched his head and thought, "Uh...I'm not sure, it seems like around Christmas? Or...oh, by the way, during Halloween, didn't you start promoting Schindler, I I remember it should be that paragraph, and it's very frequent, Alex and I have received it many times, haven't you received it too?"

"Yes, yes..." Hugo murmured in a low voice, "Schindler's publicity period..." A little smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, bitter and helpless.

Hugo's memory also came back. This kind of phone call without a voice should have started to appear during the promotion period of "Schindler's List", and it has been frequent in the following months. Hugo once wondered if Joseph was calling, but the problem was that Charlize and Alex also received a lot of them, so he rejected the idea, because a person without a suitable suspect can only blame on the signal problem.

"And then... May, or after April, there will be no more. Ah, yes, after the Oscars, anyway, it's probably about a month or two, and then it doesn't show up." Charlize is still trying hard Recalling the situation, since the three roommates living in the same house are her most leisurely and most of the time at home, she also knows best, "What's the matter, it appeared again today? Damn it, I must call customer service to complain. , every time there is a problem with the telephone signal, then why do we install a landline phone, and now the signal is even worse than the brick, even if the signal is not good, the brick can still be heard intermittently..."

Charlize's words rang in Hugo's ears, but his thoughts were already drifting away. Starting with "Schindler's List" and ending with Oscar. Doesn't this awaken any memory?

Hugo remembered James Franco, and Lena fell into a state of anxiety during the promotion of "Schindler's List", and was finally discovered by James, which revealed the truth; and Oscar... Hugo was on stage to receive himself When he was the Golden Man, he thanked his father Adam, and shortly after that, James and Lena had a showdown, and then the "Road to Glory" tour began, and James told Hugo all the truth.

All clues are connected.

Although this is just Hugo's illusory conjecture, maybe it's a signal problem at all, maybe it's Jerda on the other end of the phone, maybe it's the wrong call, maybe Lena doesn't know their phone number at all; but at this moment, Rain But there was no way to calm down his boiling thoughts, he felt ridiculous, he felt ridiculous, he felt bitter.

If it was really Lena, if these calls were all from Lena, Hugo would not be moved, he would only feel that Lena was sad because she was regretting her decision, she was suffering from conscience, she gave up Hugo chose a happy family life and made Adam's persuasion and Lancaster's insistence a joke, then she should continue to persevere, otherwise it will just make Adam and Lancaster even more pitiful, It also made her even more pathetic.

So, Hugo put the receiver to his ear again.

"Hey..." Hugo said softly, but the turbulence in his heart almost overwhelmed him. He thought he could speak ruthlessly, because he and Lena had no feelings at all, and he didn't want to have any feelings for Li Na. Na has any nostalgia, but when the words come to her mouth, they are so bitter that the nose becomes extremely sour, "I don't know who you are, and I don't want to know."

Hugo took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but his voice was still trembling slightly. Everything was fine, and so was Dad. At the beginning, it was a little difficult, and I couldn't accept... accept the truth, so Dad put the blame on him and made him the object of my hatred, so, I left him, hated him, cursed him. Until I found out the truth, and found that my father was trying to protect me, and found that the person who said he loved me had left me, but said nothing The people who have always guarded me, so..."

Speaking of this, Hugo's voice couldn't help but choked a little, the warmth in his eyes made him take a deep breath, so that the blurred water light in his vision was taken back, "So, I'm fine, so is my father, in the future we will will continue to be happy.”

"I'm not curious about your life, and I don't care about your life. You don't need to feel guilty, and you don't need to worry about me, because it's unnecessary, my world is less and you won't stop turning, your world is less I will only be better." Hugo took a deep breath again, gritted his teeth and insisted, "I hope you are happy, sincerely, because you are happy, your choice is meaningful, if you regret it, or You are unfortunate, not only you will become sad, those who are left behind by you will be even more sad, I don't want that. So, don't regret it."

"If you are happy now, then continue to be happy; if you are not happy now, then please be happy..." There was a long silence, a long... Hugo seemed to hear the soft voice coming from the receiver. The sound of his breathing was trembling slightly, which made Hugo's bitter smile again outline, "Also, don't try to contact me, let alone contact Dad, otherwise, you will regret it, and I will make you change. Regret! Trust me."

Silence, still silence.

Hugo's hand holding the receiver couldn't help clenching tightly, his knuckles began to glow white because of too much force, and he just gritted his teeth to prevent his inner tremor from leaking out. Charlize was sitting on the sofa, all words were cut off, she just looked at Hugo quietly, vaguely, she seemed to understand what happened, but... She didn't want it to be what she thought. matter.

There was a quiet air in the hall, as if there was silence for a century, and there was no sound. Hugo just held the receiver and stood there, wanting to say something, and seemed to be waiting for something, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just took the receiver off his ears and hung up the phone.

Hugo clenched his fists hard. Because he was too hard, his whole body began to tremble slightly. Before he realized it, tears overflowed from his eyes and slid directly down his cheeks, but he never wanted to blink. , and did not want to wipe the tears, because he did not want to be weak. Tears fell down one by one, blooming in the air like flowers, and finally fell to the ground, torn apart.

Charlize looked at Hugo's back, the broad shoulders became stiff due to excessive tension, through the T-shirt you could see the stubborn shoulder line spreading quietly in the night, the slightly trembling muscles seemed to be venting He was unwilling and afraid in his heart, but Hugo's back was strong and straight, revealing an absolutely uncompromising determination, as if no storm could knock him down.

But looking at the back like this, Charlize noticed that Hugo was unprecedentedly vulnerable, even if she couldn't see Hugo's expression at all.

Charlize didn't say anything, she sat quietly in the same place, listening to the sound of the rain drifting outside the window, she didn't need to speak, she just needed to accompany Hugo here and let him know that he was not alone. that's enough.

James Franco stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at his mother, who was slumped in the corner of the kitchen. She was still holding the receiver in her hand. .
