"What gives you such a fit of babyish sobbing?”

Jayson faked not sobbing by kissing her hand and wiping his eyes with his collar.

"How do you feel right now?"

“There's a huge improvement. The nurse just gave me some medication for the pain. When I got an injection, I didn't feel a thing. And the caregiver also took me to the bathroom. They looked after me with great care." Julissa then questioned Jayson, "Does the woman who came to you just now wish to work with you?" while touching Jayson's red eyes and dark bags below them with her fingers and smiling weakly.

Jayson did not want Julissa to be concerned, so he lied and said, "It was about the script."

Having known him for all those years, Julissa saw through him quite easily and shook her head.

"If it's just for the script, there's no need to worry so much about me. I'm not a moron. It's clear to me that she values your talent."

“That's right, she wants me to continue filming The Missing Body." As if he couldn't look at it enough, Jayson stared lovingly into his wife's eyes and didn't take his eyes off her.

Julissa puckered her lips into a soft grin. She was really thin from the illness, but her grin made up for it.

"Since she has made the effort to come to you personally, you should not have any doubt about her sincerity. It's not often that you get a shot at anything, so you should take full advantage of this one."

"But I don't want to leave you alone here!" The 30-year-old guy insisted like a petulant child.

Julissa adjusted her body softly and rested her head against Jayson.

"It's just a shoot. Maybe I will be allowed to go home to recover when this course of therapy is over. You will then be taking me with you to the filming site so that you can accompany me every day.”

Without a word, Jayson bent down and kissed his wife on the forehead.

“This is an incredible opportunity, and I don't want you to pass it up, Jayson. And I can't wait for the film to be out too! Let's give it a shot, okay?" Julissa asked, raising her eyes at Jayson.

With his wife waiting expectantly for his reply, Jayson agreed, "Alright."

Ariana received a call from Jayson in the afternoon.

“I've thought about it, and I'd love to work with you, but I've pretty well used all my savings. If you wish to re-launch the project, you will need to acquire funding."

“Don't stress. I can handle that," said Ariana.

Ariana asked Jayson for more details on the script and the film project.
