The determination in James' eyes was not lost on both Nina and John. They took this as a sign to take him seriously.
The prodigal son who returns is unmatched—more precious than gold.
Likewise, the lazy who works hard progresses more than anyone else.
From then, James would fill his days by either filming for the movie or sending out gifts to prominent directors in the industry. Every time he came back, he would share his day with Chester.
Chester would then listen patiently and occasionally give him some advice as if he was a teacher.
John had been discharged from the hospital earlier than planned. He went back to North Yard so he could recover.
During the day, Nina would take Chester to class. The beautiful pair looked stunning as they took Nine for a walk around the campus.

"Let me have a look." John walked over, lowered his head as he gently wrapped his arms around her waist.
