Chapter 129 Injury
The girl hurriedly returned to the restaurant and grabbed a piece of bread, ready to watch the show while having breakfast. After thinking about it, I chose a safer location - the entrance of the restaurant.
In less than a minute, with Drew craned his neck in anticipation, there were several quick quarrels from upstairs.
"Eric Williams, I'll never forgive you again, you bastard, big bastard!"
In this voice, Aniston stepped down the stairs and rushed down the second floor, glared at Drew, who was watching the lively, and pulled up the suitcase to leave.
"Jenny, wait for me, don't be impulsive."
Eric's voice rang out, and then a figure in only a pair of trousers appeared at the corner of the V-shaped stairs. Seeing Aniston pulling up his suitcase and about to leave again, Eric didn't pay attention to his feet in a hurry. As soon as he stepped on the air, he rolled down the stairs with a few puffs.
"Wow," Drew opened his mouth and saw Eric rolling down the stairs. He was not too worried, but rather gloated, because this section of the stairs was only less than two meters high.
And Aniston saw this scene and scolded it with relief.
Unfortunately, things seemed a little unexpected. Eric rolled all the way down the stairs and collapsed on his back to the ground. Immediately afterwards, blood began to pour out of his forehead, and he remained motionless.
The atmosphere stagnated for a while, and with a snap, the porcelain bowl containing the porridge fell to the ground and shattered, and the girl rushed up with a look of horror.
"Eric, are you okay? Hey, talk to me, you... don't scare me!" Drew rushed to Eric's side, calling Eric's name and wiping the blood on his forehead. However, he found that the more blood was wiped, the cuffs of the girl's pajamas were dyed red. After careful inspection, he found that there was a wound of about one centimeter on his forehead. Blood was gurgling from the wound, and Eric The whole person has also fainted.
Aniston originally wanted to leave angrily. Seeing this scene, he hesitated and put down his suitcase and walked up. Going around Drew's body and seeing the blood that kept spilling from Eric's forehead, he panicked.
"How...how could this be?"
The girl held Eric's head in her arms a little helplessly, and pressed the wound on Eric's forehead rusty. A large amount of blood was smeared on the pajamas in front of her, her eyes were red like a bunny, and she raised her head. He shouted at Aniston: "Bichi, call an ambulance. If something happens to Eric, I'll kill you, I swear!"
Alarmed by Drew's hysterical threats, Aniston rushed to the phone and hurriedly called 911. At this time, Virginia, who was dressed hastily, also walked downstairs and saw this scene, and hurriedly rushed over.
"Drew, let me come, I will."
"Go away, go away, you Bichi, it's all your fault, otherwise Eric wouldn't be hurt, you Bichi, Bichi..."
Although she was insulted like this by Drew, Virginia felt very uncomfortable, but she was a mature woman after all, and she knew that now was not the time to worry about this: "Dru, it is not easy to stop the bleeding like this, there is a first aid kit. Can you tell me where the first aid kit is?"
"Eric's bedroom, on the closet," Drew said without hesitation, and Virginia quickly got up and ran upstairs.
"It seems... he should be laid flat on the ground..." Aniston, who had finished the call, leaned over again and saw Drew kneeling on the floor and hugging Eric in his arms.
I couldn't help but suggested according to some plausible medical common sense I knew.
Drew glanced at Aniston coldly, carefully pressed the wound on Eric's forehead, and placed Eric on the floor. After thinking about it, he took off one of his cartoon slippers and put it on Eric. back of the brain.
Aniston looked at Drew, and unknowingly felt a little pantothenic in her heart. She was Eric's real girlfriend. Why does it seem like she is the third party in this scene now. Looking at Drew's maddened female leopard now, Aniston was instinctively frightened. It seemed that if she got closer, she would be eaten alive by a beast.
Virginia quickly returned with the first aid kit: "Drew, let me come, I have learned some first aid."
Drew backed away silently, watching Virginia skillfully bandage Eric's bleeding, then he was relieved a little, and glanced at Aniston who was standing beside him: "Didn't you say you want to leave, Now you can get out, and don't come looking for Eric in the future."
"I..." Aniston finally got angry: "I'm Eric's girlfriend, why do you order me! You're just a pet he keeps!"
Drew sneered at the corner of his mouth: "What about pets, at least not like you, a stubborn and stupid woman who knows to play some self-righteous petty temper in front of him all day long."
"You're an idiot," Aniston retorted frantically, and pointed to Virginia again: "I'm his girlfriend, shouldn't he... I shouldn't be angry with him?"
"He is such a good man, what's wrong with playing with a few women?"
"You..." Aniston was speechless by Drew's powerful logic.
Virginia carefully bandaged the wound on Eric's forehead, and then touched Eric's chest to feel the other's heartbeat, and then she felt a little relieved. Listening to the irrational and incoherent quarrel between the two girls, they were about to stop in distress when the doorbell rang.
"The ambulance is here," Aniston whispered, and Drew immediately forgot about the quarrel and rushed out to open the door.
Virginia didn't get up and hide upstairs until the ambulance drove to the door of the villa. She didn't want outsiders to find herself here. After all, she didn't have a good relationship with Eric. Aniston saw Virginia's actions, and subconsciously wanted to hide upstairs, but stopped when he saw Drew waving his small hands eagerly explaining something to the approaching medical staff.
The medical staff did a simple treatment for Eric again, and then lifted Eric, who was still in a coma, into the ambulance. Aniston couldn't help but leaned in when he saw Drew follow him into the car. The ambulance drove out of Eric's mansion and roared all the way to the nearest hospital.
One of the paparazzi guarding Eric's house went crazy when they saw this scene, and keenly felt that something must have happened, so they started the car and followed.
In less than an hour, the news that Eric was in a coma and was hospitalized spread throughout the news media in Los Angeles.
"Our station news, this morning, young director Eric Williams accidentally fell down the stairs and is still in a coma. This is a live report sent by our reporter at Cormier Surgical Hospital in Beverly Hills," the TV station said. The screen was switched to the location shot. In front of a hospital, there were forty or fifty reporters from various media, and the bustling almost completely blocked the entrance of the hospital, and Al Pacino just happened to be full of sunglasses in the shot. The scene where he stepped out of the commercial car with a serious face and was quickly surrounded by a large group of reporters for an interview.
A young blond female reporter stood in front of the camera and said with a microphone: "Eric has been in a coma for three hours now. Both elbows and knees were bruised to varying degrees, but the most serious was a severe blow to the head, which resulted in massive blood loss. It is uncertain whether this injury would have resulted in more serious consequences. It is well known that trauma to the brain is a The most unpredictable type of injury."
Inside the hospital, Jeffrey and Kapoor were the first to arrive, followed by Al Pacino, Tom Hanks and other actors closely related to Eric, "Cry on the Island" and "Smell the Scent" The two directors of "Woman" also rushed over one after another. Eric was sent to the ward after a series of examinations. Everyone gathered in the office to listen to Eric's doctor's condition analysis.
"The CT and MRI results showed Mr Williams had no skull fractures or internal bleeding, so there is no cause for concern at this time."
"Dr. Duncan, when will he wake up?" Drew, who was standing at the front of the crowd, asked eagerly.
Dr. Duncan hesitated and said, "I should wake up within eight hours."
"Why should it be, doctor, can't you be sure?"
Dr. Duncan pointed it out truthfully.
"How could this be, you're a doctor, how can you be so sure, aren't you the best doctor here?" Drew almost rushed over in excitement, but was pulled by Geoffrey: "Drew, don't give salute."
Dr. Duncan looked at Drew's embarrassed appearance with one bare foot and blood on the chest of his pajamas. He didn't mind the girl's rudeness, but explained patiently: "Miss Barrymore, Mr. Williams is so rude. Injury, according to past experience, it is time to wake up now, but he did not wake up according to common sense, so I cannot give you an accurate answer, and you need to observe and wait patiently."
Drew waved his hand irritably: "No, I'm going to be transferred, I'm going to the best hospital in Los Angeles, I..."
Jeffrey pressed Drew's shoulder and said softly, "Drew, stop making trouble, this is already the best brain hospital in Los Angeles."
Dr. Duncan added: "Perhaps, at this time, you can try to speak in the patient's ear, which may have a wake-up effect."
After Drew heard this suggestion, he immediately turned around and ran to Eric's ward. When the girl disappeared, Jeffrey asked, "Doctor, does this method really work?"
Dr. Duncan smiled bitterly: "I just want to find something for Barrymore to do. She is too emotionally unstable and may collapse."
The scene was silent for a while, and no one said anything. A group of people left the office and came to the door of Eric's ward. When they saw Drew mumbling nervously in Eric's ear, they didn't lean over and could only stand outside the corridor.
Several passers-by watched Al Pacino, Tom Hanks and other stars appear here, and they all wanted to step forward, but when they saw everyone's stern expressions, they all retreated with interest.
The eldest Jeffrey finally said: "Why don't you all go back first, it's useless to be here, I'll just stay here with Kapoor."
After everyone heard it, they all said their goodbyes and left. In the end, only Jeffrey and Kapoor were left, as well as the stubborn Aniston. She also wanted to get close to Eric's bed, but Drew looked crazy. , and a little scared.
Eight hours later, Eric still didn't wake up, and even in the evening, Eric showed no sign of waking up. Drew went crazy again, and like a madman, he transferred his worried anger to Aniston. On the body, two bloodstains were scratched on Xiaoyi Niu's neck before being pulled away by Jeffrey and Kapoor. Aniston also began to regret a little, and even forgot to resist when Drew rushed over.
At night, many people finally couldn't sit still. Fox's Barry Diller and Columbia's Amy Pascal appeared in the hospital one after another in the dark, and a large group of reporters still blocking the door of the hospital excitedly wanted to surround them again. The two interviewed, but were pushed away by the powerful bodyguards.
The two first visited Eric in the ward, and then, as usual, asked Eric's condition to the helpless attending physician.
"Doctor, there's no possibility of being in a vegetative state, right?" After listening to Duncan's explanation, Barry Diller asked the question that everyone wanted to ask but were afraid to ask.
Duncan held the pen in his hand and rubbed it twice, hesitatingly said: "The probability of this is very small, but ... it is not impossible."
Fortunately, Drew is still at Eric's bedside. If he hears this sentence, he will go crazy.
Jeffrey and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Barry Diller and Amy Pascal looked even more worried, not for Eric, but for Fox and Columbia, both of which now have Eric's movies on them Contract, if Eric's next movie project falls through...
Barry Diller and Amy Pascal had to leave after an hour of negotiation.
Maybe everyone will be falsely alarmed by Eric's outburst. At four o'clock in the morning the next morning, Eric, who had been in a coma for nearly nineteen hours, finally woke up. After the doctor's examination, Drew, who had red eyes and scattered hair, took the awakened Eric's big hand, rubbed his face affectionately for a while, and fell asleep on the edge of the bed.
Jeffrey and Kapoor, who had not slept all night, sat beside Eric's bed with relief, seeing Drew's reaction, Kapoor stood up and said, "Eric, shall I take Drew to the next room to sleep? "
"No, just here," Eric said, pulling the girl up and laying down beside him. Then he said to Aniston, who was standing at the door with his hands behind his back, "Jenny, come here."
Aniston approached obediently: "Eric, since... since you're awake, then I'll go first."
Eric reached out and grabbed Aniston: "Don't go, Jenny."
Kapoor and Jeffrey winked and stood up and walked out: "Let's go call and let the others know that you are awake. They must be worried now, and they will be relieved to hear the news earlier."
When the door of the ward closed, Aniston relaxed a little and sat down beside Eric's bed.
Eric strangely touched the two red marks on Aniston's neck: "This is..."
Aniston glanced at Drew lying beside Eric with complicated eyes: "You bastard... If you can't wake up, Drew will kill me."
"Oh, she won't." Eric moved his big hand up and touched Aniston's face.
"No, she definitely will," Aniston took Eric's hand down: "I think... we should break up, maybe... Maybe Drew is more suitable for you."
"I just treat Drew as... as my sister."
Aniston didn't bother about this issue anymore, but said: "But I... I really can't stand your care, Eric, when I saw your news when I was in New York, I could pretend to comfort myself It was all made up by the gossip tabloids, but what I saw yesterday morning made me unable to deceive myself anymore. It was all true. I really couldn't stand it anymore, so, you... Could you let me go? ?"
Eric held Aniston's little hand tightly: "Forget it, Jenny, let's not talk about this issue, I'm planning to make a TV series recently, do you want to play the heroine? I promise that this TV series will make You're more popular than those movie stars."
Aniston tugged hard on her little hand, but couldn't pull it back: "I don't..."
"I really can't think of someone more suitable than you, Jenny, you don't want me to do another audition, so many girls will appear by my side, you know, my will is always weak."
"you……"
"Okay, then it's settled."
"I……"
Aniston is stubborn, but Eric is more powerful. He responded to the sentence "One thing falls for one thing." Under Eric's harassment and harassment, Aniston agreed in confusion, and when he reacted, Xiaoyi Niu found herself lying on the other side of Eric. Like Drew, she hadn't slept all night, so she quickly slept beside Eric.
Although Eric has woken up, it may be that Eric woke up too late, and the newspapers have been printed.
Anyway, the next day, the news that Eric was in a coma for a long time appeared in the newspaper.
"Eric Williams was injured unexpectedly, the shooting plan of "Dark War" will be rejected, and Colombia may lose heavyweight negotiating chips."
"According to inside information, Williams has been in a coma for a long time and may be at risk of a vegetative state. If this situation comes true, then several film contracts signed with Columbia and 20th Century Fox will be aborted. The development of Firefly is good. The future is also uncertain.”
The above two types of news appeared in large numbers in the newspapers, but after the news that Eric woke up was clarified by Fox TV in a timely manner, these sensational reports became empty words, although it caused the stock prices of Columbia and Fox to drop briefly after the opening of the morning. , but quickly stabilized as the news was clarified.
At the same time, some people have focused on other aspects, and this new focus has also attracted the attention of a large number of readers, such as a message in the Los Angeles Metropolis Daily: "As we all know, Eric Williams There are currently no relatives. Although child star Drew Barrymore and Williams have a close relationship, the two are neither related by blood nor have any legal connection. It is said that Eric Williams has not established any relationship before. Will, once Eric Williams has an accident, his huge property worth hundreds of millions of dollars will be uninherited, or will face the possibility of being taken over by the federal government."
In the ward, although Eric felt that he had fully recovered, under the advice of the doctor and everyone's insistence, he had to continue to stay in the hospital for a few days.
Looking at the news in the Los Angeles Metropolis Daily, Eric smiled and said to Drew next to him: "Maybe I should really make a will, girl, how much do you want?"
"Of course it's all mine," Drew flipped through a magazine boredly and glanced at Eric: "Did you forget what our relationship was in "Back to Seventeen"?"
"Uh... I thought you would say that I don't want a penny, as long as you are fine. You want all my property, which makes me so sad."
"Humph!"
When Eric was bored in the ward thinking about whether to make a will, the British paparazzi who were thousands of miles away discovered another thing. Eric's disclosed father was indeed dead, but His mother's identity is a mystery, and the discovery has made many paparazzi ecstatic. If Eric Williams' mother can be found, it must be breaking news.
As the birthplace of paparazzi, the British paparazzi are really good at digging deep. They soon discovered Eric's childhood residence in London, and then visited the neighbors near Eric's house one by one. Some clues.
"That's a very temperamental woman..."
"Even when she goes out, she is always covered with a veil. I have never seen her true face..."
"It's estimated to be a rich lady, but she disappeared after giving birth to the child. Ralph is really lucky..."
Abandoning the power of nine bulls and two tigers, the British tabloids have only found these few words, that is to say, no one remembers the appearance of Eric Williams' mother at all, which makes those tabloids have more room to play. , agreed that this may be a fairy tale of a princess falling in love with a groom, although the ending was not good, but single and a wonderful son.
These fabricated news quickly reached the United States, and Eric saw it without any accident, but he was relieved. This is the best way to find it. If there is a "mother" who has never met, he really doesn't know how to deal with it. It is best to keep this mystery forever.
After April Fool's Day, Eric left the hospital after another careful examination, and this storm was completely over. The preparations for "Dark War" have been completed. In the remaining days, Eric has already begun to run in with Cruise and Hanks, waiting for the official start of the film on April 5th.
