Chris was stunned, but his face brightened. "Together? Are you going too?"
Once he was done, he looked suspiciously at Jean and said, "What would you do?"
He just wanted to meet that one little girl. If Jean went with him, wouldn't that mean he's risking something to happen in America?
Hearing this, the man looked at Chris in a strong voice. "Lilia wants to meet her."
"That's all?" Chris breathed a sigh of relief. "Good then. Let's spend Chinese New Year together in the United States."
The Chinese lunar year is a time to gather with families and loved ones. Of course they have to be with their most important person.
The man did not respond. Instead, he looked away and looked out the window.
When Merry called Lilia at the hospital last time, Jean heard their conversation very clearly. He knew his wife missed Merry too.
During that time, she was recently pregnant and encountered a lot of troubles.
Perhaps going to the US during Chinese New Year is a good choice. They can also spend their time temporarily avoiding domestic problems.
At that time, if the opportunity arises, he will consider taking his wife to Parma.
When Vincent insisted on bringing him back, Jean knew something must be wrong with Parma.
Instead of waiting for them, it'll be better if he finishes it alone by himself.
...
At the same time in Minerva Hospital, exactly inside the orthopedic ward, William seems to likely improve a lot. He doesn't have to lie stiff on the bed every day, now he can occasionally lie on his side.
However, it was 11 AM and the nurse had not returned since she left this morning.
William leaned against the head of the bed and looked at the news on the Internet with a gloomy face.
Who the hell released this audio?!
At that time, he had just met the person in charge of the background board with Milia. After chatting a few words, he left first.
The meeting, which lasted only a few minutes, was actually recorded.
He suspected that Milia was behind the scenes, but he thought that was impossible. After all, the cyberattacks against him were more serious than Milia.
The thing he hated the most right now was that he couldn't contact that one girl.
Whether it's a cell phone or a message, she disappeared from earth as if sinking into the ocean without any sound.
William didn't know what else to do and left his cell phone on the blanket. Just as he was about to change his position, the nurse outside knocked on the door and entered.
"Mr. William..." The nurse held a folder in her hand and gave him a disdainful and complex look.
William was good at observing, he noticed the change in the woman's face.
He narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
The nurse saw the folder in her arms and said, "It's time you paid for the hospitalization."
William raised his eyebrows, unable to digest her words. "How much is the hospitalization fee?"
He has been living here for more than a month, and no one has ever asked him about the fees.
Shouldn't this be the responsibility of the company?!
"Seeing that the current balance is less than 3 million, to pay for your advanced ward fees and various medical expenses, your money is not sufficient to pay today's ward fees. When do you want to make up for it?"
William's face suddenly changed, didn't the Gaia company pay for it?!
The man then quickly took his cell phone. Just as he was about to make a call, he looked at the nurse. "Come out first and come back in ten minutes."
"Oh."
After the nurse left, she spat at the door!
She did not think that a famous celeb both here and abroad like William would be such a cruel person.
He planned and played life threatening games. And all just to trap Lilia!
Lesson learned, you can't simply judge someone by their appearance!
On the ward, William quickly called his company, but they told him that his contract had been terminated, and the company was not obliged to pay for his medical expenses anymore!
William was furious at this response.
Before he even finished asking, the other party hung up on the call.
After a while, William took out his cell phone and called Albert.
He had already contacted the man before the accident. Since his company refused to pay him, he would accept the offer Albert had made that day.
William called him, but after three minutes, he found that Albert's cell phone was dead.
After a while, the nurse came in again.
William then tried to call Albert again by borrowing the nurse's cellphone, but his call was still not picked up.
Obviously, it looks like Albert is trying to throw him away too.
By the time the phone connected, Albert's tone was very heavy, and he was in an unpleasant mood. "Who?"
William bit his lip and took a deep breath to hold back his anger. "Mr. Albert, despite all the things that happened, why did you forget my voice so quickly?"
Albert was silent for two seconds. He seemed to be smiling but not really a good one. "William?"
"Yes, it's me!" William sneered. "Mr. Albert doesn't seem to want to answer my call, why is that?"
Albert did not answer his question. "Why are you calling me, what's wrong?"
He pretended he didn't know and didn't want to know!
William looked at the nurse standing in the room. He turned slightly over the bed. Angry, he forgot to disguise himself and moved his feet under the covers.
The nurse clearly caught this scene.
It turned out that William's legs hadn't lost their function!
Right now, the man was still holding her cellphone during the confrontation with Albert, but before he said a few words, he heard that the other party seemed to have destroyed something.
The sound was so loud that even the nurse could hear it.
Albert shouted into the phone. "William, do you want my company to pay for your medicine? Are you crazy? Aren't you in this state because of your own doing? Why did you beg me? Has your company dumped you? You rushed to call me and ask for money now huh? I'll tell you William, I'm not willing to spend a penny on you!"
"Even if you go back to the top now, I won't want to pay an artist like you. Go to hell!" He added.
Albert then angrily hung up the phone.
William's face was gloomy as if a great storm had crushed his head.
He was clutching his cell phone tightly so that the veins on the back of his hand protruded.
Seeing this scene, the nun immediately stepped forward, stretched out her hand to him and asked for her cell phone back.
Then, William pulled out a card from his wallet and gave it to the nurse. He asked her to help process the payment.
He never thought that everything he did would end up harming himself.
And starting today, his reputation in the industry has fallen down.
Even if he wants to film later, he needs to ask for a miracle to play any role.
...
There are still ten days left before the Chinese New Year.
Gaia has released an official announcement welcoming Lilia to join the company.
For a moment, people were happy when they heard the news. They were more focused on congratulating and discussing the topic as usual.
After all, Aphrodite has made a lot of people angry.
Now that Lilia has gone to Gaia, fans finally felt relieved.
Many still continued to mock Aphrodite Agency for their bad management.
When Lilia saw this warm welcome, she was in Chris' office signing her ten year contract.
Harold was there too. Perhaps having seen the contents before, he paid no attention to the details in it and signed his name on the last page quickly.
Seeing that they had signed the contract, Chris laughed. "Lilia, did Jean tell you about going to the United States?"
