Chapter 536: Hospitalization
Ye Zhiyun was admitted to the hospital. After an examination, there were no major problems. It was just that a bone was sprained, a joint was dislocated, her abdomen was slightly injured, and her neck was also slightly sprained. She needed to be hospitalized for two weeks. Besides that, there were no major problems. Fortunately, the driver had braked in time, and she had no major problems. It was just a pity about her itinerary. She had originally planned to return to her home country the next day. Now that this had happened, she could only return her plane ticket and then obediently stay in Los Angeles for a period of time.
“There’s no helping it. I can only stay here for these two weeks. I hope the hospitalization fees in America are not expensive.”
Ye Zhiyun was covered in bandages, lying on the bed, her neck also in a brace, a wry smile on her face. It was the first time in her life that she had been hospitalized in a foreign country. She had never encountered such a thing before. Yu Linna was sitting next to her. Seeing her light-hearted look, her heart really ached.
“Why did you have to say that? Don’t you know how dangerous you were? I was almost scared to death by you!”
“Aren’t I fine?”
“That’s not the problem! Why did you have to do that? It’s very dangerous! What if something had happened!”
“I didn’t think that much at the time… I just felt that I should do that.”
Ye Zhiyun wanted to pat her head, but she had twisted her body and it hurt, so she gave up.
Yu Linna’s eyes were filled with water, but she held it back. She held Ye Zhiyun’s hand.
“You big fool.”
Although Ye Zhiyun had not had any major problems, she still needed to be hospitalized during these days. This also gave Yu Linna and Ye Zhiyun more time to have contact.
But Yu Linna still felt guilty. It was originally her fault. If it weren’t for her running a red light, Ye Zhiyun would not have encountered such a thing. It was all her fault, all her fault.
“Zhiyun, does it hurt a lot?”
“It doesn’t hurt now.”
“No, I mean… was it very painful when I hit you?”
“Eh?”
“I’m sorry, Zhiyun. I shouldn’t have done that.”
Perhaps because Ye Zhiyun was lying in bed, Yu Linna had also become very soft now. The plain expression on her face from before was also gone. Her heart was indeed still very concerned about Ye Zhiyun. Seeing Ye Zhiyun risk her life for her, no one would turn a blind eye.
“It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault for running a red light. The one who should have been injured was me. Zhiyun, I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine. It’s not your fault. I did it because I wanted to. As long as you’re fine, these are not a big deal.”
“But…”
“Nana, I didn’t grab your hand before, but I won’t this time. I have to grab you no matter what. That was my only thought at that time. I was indeed sorry to you before, but I swear, I won’t be in the future. I will cherish you even more. I will value you more than anyone else, protect you. Whether it’s today or in the future, it will always be like this.”
Although Ye Zhiyun was lying in bed, when she had said these words, she was incomparably serious. Of course, she knew that it was very shameful to say such handsome words, but she just wanted to say them.
Because she loved Yu Linna.
If she didn’t say it, she felt that there would be no chance in the future.
Yu Linna sat next to her, looking at this former lover of hers. Her mood was really very complicated. A person she had already let go of, now she would actually give for her like this. How could she possibly let go like this?
They were originally people who had already broken up. Shouldn’t they have forgotten each other and then walked on a brand new life? Although she thought so, Ye Zhiyun did not.
Ye Zhiyun still wanted to salvage it, and she was also working hard to do so. Although it was very difficult, she still decided to do it. Just this sense of awareness was already very difficult.
“For me, is it necessary?”
“Of course it is. Because the person I love the most in this world is only one, and that is you, Nana.”
“But you and I have both changed. We can’t go back anymore.”
“No matter how we change, you are you, and I am still me. And now I will love you more than before, dote on you more. I swear, I will not lose you again. If I make another mistake, Ye Zhiyun will be lonely for a lifetime.”
Yu Linna had also not expected that she would say such words. At this time, compared to Ye Zhiyun’s hospitalization, the words she had said were probably even more shocking to her.
Ye Zhiyun had indeed liked her very much before, had given her almost everything, and had doted on her very much. In front of others, she was a majestic president, a great director, but in front of her, she was always very doting on her, very pampering her. At that time, Yu Linna had also enjoyed this kind of life very much.
Later, many things had happened. They had argued, and after that, they could no longer turn back, and had finally broken up.
Now she had returned, and she had said that she would pursue her again. Even if Yu Linna was not willing, she would not give up. And Yu Linna could also see that she was indeed sincere, and the kind that was very sincere. She was serious, absolutely not perfunctory.
“I will come and see you every day, and bring you food.”
Yu Linna could only change the subject.
“You’re going to personally cook for me? Can you make the food you used to often make for me?”
“I can, I can… but do you like my cooking that much? It’s exactly the same as before, with no improvement at all.”
“To be able to eat the food you’ve made for me, I couldn’t be happier. Thinking about it carefully, to have been hit by a car like that was quite worth it… ouch, ouch, ouch!”
“Didn’t I tell you not to move around? Look at you, so excited, like a fool!”
“Hahaha…”
Although it was very painful, Ye Zhiyun was smiling very happily. She was really very happy.
The last time she had eaten the food that Yu Linna had made for her was how long ago? She had never thought that she would still be able to taste it. So good.
Seeing Ye Zhiyun smile like a child, Yu Linna was also speechless, but she also smiled. This Ye Zhiyun actually had a side to her that she didn’t know. It was really a rare sight. That Ye Zhiyun with an extremely strong self-esteem, who would never admit defeat, would also show such a cute smile. Not to mention that her appearance was quite similar to Ye Zhiyun’s mother, Li Yuexin.
Mother and daughter were both the same.
Yu Linna had chatted for a few sentences, and then she had gone back. She had also said that she would come and see her every day. It was just that it was hard on Ye Zhiyun. The days in the hospital would be very boring, but Ye Zhiyun could only endure it.
But it was worth mentioning that Yu Linna had finally received news from Hollywood. The Hollywood side had called her, asking if she was free to discuss the matter of a script cooperation. This meant that Hollywood had already begun to recognize her. Before, her movie had been released in England. Now, the total box office was heading towards thirty million pounds, and Hollywood’s Warner Bros. had already bought it, preparing to introduce it to the American cinema circuit. It was just a pity that Yu Linna had sold the IP early on. Strictly speaking, she did not have the right to control this copyright. But she was also open about it. She felt that as long as the work was good enough, these things were nothing.
After all, if the IP was gone, she would just create another one.
This time, the one who had found her was Hollywood’s Lionsgate. They had found her and had talked to her about the relevant matters of cooperation. If Yu Linna wanted to make a name for herself in Hollywood and to gain a firm foothold, first of all, she had to have a work. Lionsgate was her first sincere partner. They also wanted to see what kind of creativity this little genius from China had.
“Although this is our first time talking about cooperation, I hope we can have a pleasant talk. Miss Yu, if you are to create a script, what kind of treatment do you hope for?”
“Mr. Williams, for me, I hope more that your esteemed side can show sincerity. Our cooperation is based on an equal relationship. First of all, I hope you don’t mind that I am not an American.”
“That’s no problem.”
“And then, I want to talk about myself. I hope that this script will be written entirely by me alone. Is this condition okay?”
“I can also satisfy you on this.”
The two sides had started the first round of negotiations. In recent years, Lionsgate was not a strong player in Hollywood, especially in an era where Hollywood was dominated by the five major companies. Lionsgate had been poorly managed for many years and was now in a not-so-optimistic state. They had found Yu Linna, hoping that Yu Linna would write a script for a horror film, because the cost of a horror film was very low, and as long as it was filmed well, the box office would be very high. Plus, Yu Linna’s previously written work, Demon Child, had been released as an R-rated film when it was released in England. There were a lot of bloody and violent scenes in it, and it could be completely seen as a horror film.
Lionsgate had its eyes on Yu Linna precisely because of her ability to create dark and bloody scripts. Although Yu Linna was essentially not willing to write a horror film, although she loved to write dark and deep things, and also liked to kill people, she rarely wrote horror-themed scripts. The original work of that drama, Demon Child, was not originally aimed at a horror theme, but was simply described as an anti-hero. But the movie had been filmed very well, like watching a horror film.
There was no helping it. Yu Linna still wanted to take it on first, and then to slowly consider how to solve it. Although she had not done much with horror film themes, if she worked hard, there should still be a way. And the other party had also shown sincerity, had given her the right to freely revise the script, and had also let her write the script alone. And when the movie started filming, she would also enter the set to supervise. For her, this was already quite good.
She now had a chance.
“Congratulations. This is also a good thing. At least you have a goal now.”
When she was visiting Ye Zhiyun, Ye Zhiyun had learned of this matter. She had seemed very happy. Yu Linna’s days in America had finally begun. This was just the first step.
“It’s hard to say yet. I hope everything will develop in a good direction.”
“Mmm… by the way, Nana, are you sure you want to feed me?”
“Or do you want to eat by yourself? You’re injured now. It’s not convenient to eat. I’ll do it.”
“Mmm… come on. I’m already in heaven.”
“If you’re like this, I’m not feeding you anymore.”
“No, no, no! I’ll be very obedient! See? I’m not making a fuss anymore.”
“Really.”
The two of them smiled, and then in a peaceful atmosphere, the hospital room was filled with warmth. The distance between the two of them had also slowly been pulled closer. In short, everything was developing in a good direction.
Yu Linna’s days in America had had a turning point. Just as she was preparing to go all out, a lot of things had also happened in her home country. The first to bear the brunt was the question of whether Yu Linna’s new movie, Demon Child, should be released. And then, when the new movie with Yu Linna as the screenwriter was about to be released, it had also brushed up on its presence in the country.
