Chapter 385
Ariana declined, “It’s not what you think.
I was initially just intrigued by the script.
However, after closely examining Jayson’s work last night, my curiosity about him grew.
“His work is genuinely fascinating.
” Horace sincerely complimented Jayson as well.
While investigating Jayson the previous day, he had briefly skimmed through his work.
It was clear that Jayson was incredibly inventive and possessed a unique, indefinable quality in his filmmaking.
“That’s why I want to speak with Jayson face to face.
I won’t know what’s happening until 1 meet him.
As for any potential collaboration, we can discuss that after our conversation.
” After a brief pause, Ariana continued, “If I truly decide to produce this movie, I’d still prefer Jayson as the director.
There may be countless exceptional directors, but only the creator of this work can accurately convey the teal story and essence behind it.
It’s akin to raising a child.
”
“T understand.
If you want to meet with him, I know a place where you might find him.
”
The private hospital of the city was bustling with people early in the morning, with the in-patient department’s corridors almost too crowded to navigate.
Amidst the commotion, a trolley chimed its way out of the elevator, propelled by a nurse in a blue uniform, sporting an indifferent expression.
The trolley was brimming with medicine and injection needles, headed toward the third ward of the corridor.
The door opened, and a woman’s high-pitched scream assaulted the nurse’s ears.
On the bed, a woman who had lost almost all her hair due to illness writhed in pain, her retching sounds reminiscent of death’s scythe steadily hollowing her body.
The woman looked tired and emaciated.
Despite this, traces of her former elegance were still visible in her refined features.
Beside the bed, a man was also in agony, witnessing his wife’s condition that seemed worse than death.
He attempted to console her with words, but they did nothing to alleviate her physical suffering.
With a glimmer of hope in his eyes, he asked the nurse with a sense of urgency, “Is there any other medication that can alleviate my wife’s pain?”

The nurse set down the medicine and a bill and spoke in a flat tone.
“Mr.
Spears, you still have outstanding treatment and hospitalization fees that need to be paid before we can dispense any more medication.
This is the last batch of medicine.
If you wish to continue the treatment, you’ll need to settle your outstanding balance.
”
“Please, make an exception.
I’ll be selling my house soon.
As soon as I receive the funds, I’ll pay the bill.
” To prove his sincerity, the man even showed the nurse the property listing information.
The nurse furrowed her brow and impatiently replied, “In that case, come back to purchase the medicine once you’ve sold the property and cleared your debt.
The hospital has already made numerous exceptions.
We genuinely can’t accommodate you this time.
If you don’t settle your debt by tomorrow, please leave the hospital.
”
The nurse sounded annoyed and was ready to leave.
She pushed her trolley and added, “Also, a new patient will arrive soon and need the room.
Since you have overdue fees, you’ll have to move out of the room and spend the night in the corridor.
I hope you can understand.
”
Jayson tried to plead further, but the nurse evaded him and left swiftly.
As he rushed out to find the nurse, Jayson heard a heavy noise from the ward, like the shattering of glass.
He felt a sudden knot in his chest and rushed back to the ward.
There, he found his wife holding a broken glass shard to her wrist, ready to harm herself.
“Julissa, what are you doing?! Stop it!” Terrified, Jayson quickly restrained his wife.
