Chapter 53 Terminal Illness

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

Director Rupert. Sanders clapped his hands, and then announced that today's filming is over, and announced the time of filming the day after tomorrow. A group of people began to leave the studio.

This studio is mainly used for shooting some special effects shots, and actors and actresses usually have to perform against a blank stage. Then add the special effect synthesis in the later stage, and you can form a dense jungle and some kind of wonderful magical changes.

Christine sat in the dressing room removing makeup. To be honest, removing makeup was very troublesome. The makeup artist and assistants were busy on the sidelines. Christine was calm and did not seem anxious at all.

It turned out that a white man next to him seemed a little irritable, walking up and down in the dressing room.

"Baker, you're shaking me so dizzy."

Christine complained to the man dissatisfied. This man is the Johnny who Zhen Fan met in Beverly Hills. Baker is 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 showed kindness and gave the actors a day off, but this Johnny At Baker's request, he told the director that he needed Kristen to take a day off to attend his father's birthday party.

What Sanders hates most is this kind of playboy, who has nothing to do and sometimes interferes with the shooting progress, so he can only agree to it, but he secretly warns Christine not to affect the shooting progress due to personal reasons.

Christine was also very troubled, he was very angry with Johnny. Baker's entanglement was tiresome, but there was nothing she could do about it, because this drama was also recommended by the playboy. This was her chance, and even the generous salary made her tempted.

Although after filming the "Twilight Saga" series, she has a high reputation and there is no shortage of good shows to pick up, but she is still unwilling to do something that obviously offends the boss of Universal Pictures.

"I will take you to order a dress today, and tomorrow I will make you appear at the banquet in the most beautiful image!" Johnny obviously regarded Christine as a vase, and such words made Christine very disgusted.

"I promised to be your companion, but... I have my own choice, okay?" Christine retorted unceremoniously, "I have my own assistant and makeup artist, and they know what kind of image comparison they will give me. suitable!"

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

"Stop talking about this, okay? We didn't discuss this, I don't want to be your puppet, you know, at worst you kick me out of this show!"

Christine really doesn't like Johnny. A typical playboy, he has no skills, he only spends money and drinks, and enjoys the wealth brought by his parents.

"Okay, okay!" Johnny raised his hands, "So where are we going to have dinner today? How about the restaurant last time? French cuisine might be a good choice!"

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

Christine glanced at the stunned Johnny in the mirror.

"I'm very tired from filming for a whole day. I want to take a break. Baker, you go first. I promise to show up at the banquet tomorrow. Don't worry about it. I will do what I promised you!"

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

"I didn't make you wait for me!"

Christine's makeup has been removed,

She tidied up her clothes and prepared to leave with her satchel and assistant.

"etc!"

Johnny grabbed Christine's arm.

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

"Okay!" Seeing that Christine was determined, Johnny let go, raised his hands, and pointed at Christine, "I hope you can remember the banquet tomorrow!"

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

"See you tomorrow!"

Johnny's face was extremely ugly, then he turned around pretending to be graceful, and walked outside, and then heard a "clang" and someone exclaimed.

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

Following the sound of angry shouting, there was a mix of footsteps and hurried sounds.

"Is something wrong?"

Christine looked at her assistant, a man named Sibella. McKinley's Irish girl has a typical Irish name.

Sibella went out to have a look, and came back with a disgusted expression.

"When Mr. Baker was leaving, he bumped into a lamppost and fell on the head of lighting engineer Luke Smith. The scene was chaotic. The guy who had no guts escaped!"

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

"Go and have a look!" Christine heard that she had hit someone, so she got up quickly and walked out.

"God, he passed out! I don't know what to do?" A staff member complained to director Saunders, "Damn it, he has already slipped away!"

"Call 911," Sanders ordered.

"It's already been called, and it should be here soon!"

"Better hurry up, Henry, send another lighting engineer over tomorrow, you bloody bastard!" Saunders snarled, even if the movie ends for a day, but such a problem still arises, I don't know if this damn sentence is scolding Who, maybe it was the timid and troublesome playboy, but it could also be Christine who provoked that playboy.

At least he thought so. Johnny Baker was provoked by Christine.

"Damn bastard!"

Christine saw the lighting engineer Luke who was injured and fell to the ground. Smith couldn't help scolding, and of course she scolded Johnny.

Luke Smith is a good middle-aged man, hard-working, and takes good care of Christine, often helping Christine with small favors.

"Why does a small injury lead to a coma?" Sanders continued to question the people around him, "Henry, why hasn't the ambulance arrived yet? God, this place is bad enough, deal with it, I'm leaving first. "Speaking, he left the studio without looking back.

Assistant Henry was left to continue handling the accident.

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

Amidst the piercing sirens, the ambulance finally drove over, and several medical staff walked in carrying a stretcher, and then began to examine Luke. Smith's body, and a simple hemostasis was performed.

"Let's go, let's take him away first, who of you will follow? Is anyone responsible for him?" A medical staff shouted from the side.

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

"And me!" Christine replied without hesitation.

"Miss Stuart..." Assistant Sibella wanted to stop Christine.

"No, I must go! He is my friend!" Christine followed without hesitation and got into the ambulance. Sibella couldn't, so she had to follow.

Seeing Luke being sent to the emergency room, Christine breathed a sigh of relief. Sitting on a nearby chair.

"It's enough to have me here!" Henry said to Christine, "You'd better go and rest!"

"Okay, call me if you need anything!"

Christine didn't force it, she was tired after a day, she was indeed tired, and she just wanted to have a good sleep.

Back at the villa in Beverly Hills, Christine lived with her assistant. She took a hot bath and felt a little tired, so she went to bed early. It was just some things that happened today, lingering in her heart, why? Can't sleep either.

If only Zhen was here! Christine suddenly appeared in the shadow of Zhen Fan. He is a master doctor who treats insomnia. I heard that his clinic opened, but I didn't go to congratulate him. It's really...

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

When she finally fell asleep in a daze, it was already three o'clock in the morning. When she woke up, she saw that it was already nine o'clock in the morning. She couldn't help but patted her forehead. She rarely got up late like this. Habit.

"Sibella, did Henry call?"

Christine was still thinking about it.

"No, no, maybe it shouldn't be a big deal, after all, it was just a small accident!" Sibella shrugged, expressing that it didn't matter.

"I'd better call one and ask about the situation, Luke is a good man!"

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

"The situation is not very good!" Henry's first sentence frightened Christine.

"Did it hit the lamp?"

"No, it's not. The lamp head was just a minor injury, nothing serious, but...in Luke's head, the doctor found a tumor. For the tumor that existed a long time ago, it has reached the middle and late stage. This The second syncope was related to the tumor!" Henry said very pessimistically.

"I'll check it out right away!" Christine put down the phone, and then got ready to go out.

"It's very reckless of you to do this! Miss Stewart!" Sibella had to come out to stop her at this time. After all, Christine is a public figure and it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble.

"What is more important than human life? Sibella!" Christine rushed out the door without giving Sibella a reason to refute.

"The situation is very bad. If the operation is performed, the chance of success is only 30%! Maybe it will be even lower!" The doctor told Henry and Christine the truth.

"That's... really bad!"

Henry shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm going to find someone to replace him again! Damn it!"

Christine looked at Henry and glared at him with some dissatisfaction. These words are very sad. Now these people are not focusing on Luke, but their own movies.

"I'm going to see Luke!"

Christine approached the ward without looking back. Luke was lying on the hospital bed with a tube inserted into his body, his eyes were blank, and he barely smiled when he watched Christine come in.

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

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

"I know what's going on with me. I'm already like this. What else can I say? Maybe God will let me go to heaven. I've been looking forward to it for a long time!" Luke forced a smile, "But thank you, Christine, You are such a kind girl!"

"Are you giving up?"

"What else? While I can still move, I want to leave the hospital tomorrow. Staying in this damn place for one more day will make people feel like they died a day earlier!"

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