Damien gazed at her astonished expression, and a small smile formed on his lips. "It looks like you're pleasantly surprised by this gesture."Jane remained silent.She was not surprised or happy, and definitely not content.Anxious that someone might see her, she quickly entered the room and shut the door behind her.Damien muttered to himself, "They say that having flowers in the room can lift one's spirits."Jane's eyes landed on the coffee table, where she saw pink flowers and her favorite sunflowers.She approached the bed, running her fingers over the petals which felt delicate to the touch.She looked at Damien and inquired, "Did you purchase these?""Yes, it's my first time buying flowers. I wasn't sure if you would like them.""I do. Sunflowers are my favorite."Jane sensed something amiss.First time buying flowers? She looked at him with surprise, wondering if he had never given flowers to a woman before.Damien didn't seem to notice her expression and spoke considerately, "
The final act was recorded on the city rampart. Princess Rivera indicted Benjamin of treachery, terminated their relationship, and jumped off the tower to sacrifice her life for her nation.Quintessa had already scrutinized everything, and Jane had filmed this type of scene earlier, so she was not anxious.The princess was garbed in red, with ebony hair cascading down her frame like a waterfall, on the city rampart.Below the city tower, legions of soldiers waited for an opportunity to attack, led by Benjamin in his war attire.Benjamin persuaded Princess Rivera, who was guarding the city, to surrender, but the princess vowed not to give in.Aware that the situation was hopeless, the princess scaled the tower and inquired, "Benjamin, did you ever love me?"Benjamin hastily replied, "I love you, Rivera, come down, don't do anything foolish."The princess suddenly smiled, "You love me, but love your homeland more. Just like I love you, but love my royal honor more."She raised her head,
Jane pursed her lips and spoke softly, "My legs are feeling weak at the moment, but if I rest for a bit, I'll be fine."She gazed into his eyes and added, "Why don't you head to the hospital? I want to finish filming and return to the city."Damien held her in his arms, observing her delicate and gentle voice, her lips moving as she spoke, and a pleading expression in her clear eyes.Was she trying to act spoiled towards him?Just then, Gwen Dominic, Kurt Marshall, and others rushed over."Jane, are you okay?"Upon seeing the others, Jane immediately pushed Damien away.She turned to Kurt and reassured him, "Director, I'm fine."Kurt examined her and nodded, "You seem okay, but let's take a break today."Jane refused, "No, let's just finish filming the rest."She didn't want to delay the crew's progress and also wanted to return to New York to see Jonathan as soon as possible.Kurt gave in to her insistence, "Alright, take a 3-10 minute break and then we'll reshoot.""Thank you, Direc
Jane's facial expression shifted slightly, causing her to pause in her tracks. However, upon turning her head, she caught sight of Matt striding away.Was someone plotting against her? If she had a strained relationship with any crew member, it would be him. But there was also an outsider involved...although their reach wasn't that far.In the dressing room, Olivia let out a sigh as she helped Jane remove her makeup. "Thank goodness you're safe and sound."Jane smiled in agreement. "I was quite scared too.""You seem to be taking it all in stride, but you still have to keep filming." Olivia chided.Jane smiled wryly. "The entertainment industry is full of risks. I've encountered similar situations before when I was a substitute.""All the same, you must remain cautious." Olivia warned. "It's much darker than you think."Jane was surprised by her words. "Olivia, do you think someone wants to harm me?""I don't believe so, but it's possible. And because it's possible, we must be on guar
Jane promptly made a phone call to the hospital ward.In no time, there was a response."Jane, are you alright?" Jonathan's frantic voice sounded.Jane breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his voice and replied with a grin: "What's up?""I have watched all the videos on the internet. I was frightened to death. You didn't answer my calls earlier. I..." Jonathan got emotional.Jane quickly reassured him: "I am fine, don't panic. I was on the plane and my phone was switched off. I will come to the hospital to meet you later.""Alright Jane, I will wait for you." He sniffled."Okay." Jane hung up the phone, with anxiety in her heart.She was afraid that Jonathan might not be able to manage his feelings, which might impact his health.Beside her, Seth questioned, "Do you share a close bond with your brother?""Yes.""However, to my knowledge, you are not biologically related." Seth mentioned.Jane looked at him, scrunched her eyebrows, and asked: "Is biological connection crucial?"Seth
Jane's heart raced when she met Jonathan's gaze filled with self-reproach.It appears that the fire is still raging beyond the paper's limits.Jonathan's heart is delicate and susceptible, possibly due to a weak constitution since childhood. After their parents' passing, the siblings relied on one another for survival."I shouldn't have hidden it from you. I didn't want you to worry," Jane sighed."But if something happens to you, what am I supposed to do?" Jonathan retorted.He shut his eyes and suddenly became choked up. "Jane, you don't owe me anything. Even if you did, you've already paid it back. Now I owe you!"Sometimes, he despises himself for not dying and dragging her down with him."What nonsense!" Jane's expression darkened, and she scolded, "We're family. No one owes anyone anything. If you say that again, you're denying our siblinghood."Jonathan sniffled, refusing to turn his head or speak.Observing his stubborn demeanor, Jane grinned. "So, you really don't plan on ackn
Jane acknowledged his concern and set the poster aside.She smiled and said, "I don't impose myself. I enjoy acting. This time, I even acted with Oliver."Jonathan hesitated, "Are you really not painting anymore?"Jane glanced at her hand and shook her head. "You know I can't hold a pen.""Jane, the doctor said...""Let's not talk about it," Jane interrupted, looking at him with pity. "I don't have any fans now. It's so pitiful."Jonathan laughed and said, "Then I'll be your first fan, sis!""Deal!" Jane extended her pinky finger.Jonathan also reached out his hand and hooked his pinky finger with hers, sealing the deal.Afterwards, the siblings sat on the bed admiring the poster of their idol.Jonathan asked, "How's Oliver doing?""He's very easygoing, caring, and has great acting skills.""I wish I could meet him," Jonathan said, looking forward to it.Jane looked at him with a strange expression. "Other boys like fair-skinned, beautiful female stars, but you like men. I have some d
Right at that moment, her mobile phone rang once again, but it was from an unknown number.As soon as she answered, Duke's voice greeted her."Madam, I'm downstairs. Do you want me to bring it up for you?"Jane quickly declined, "No, I'll come down and get it myself."After hanging up, she descended the stairs.Duke handed her two plastic bags, to which Jane expressed her gratitude."Madam, my pleasure. I'll wait for you downstairs. Just give me a call when you're leaving," Duke said courteously."I'm sorry for the trouble," Jane nodded, turned around, and headed towards the gate.Suddenly, a male voice called out, "Jane!"She turned to see Peter Tuchel approaching her, and exclaimed, "Peter!"Peter came closer and greeted her with a smile, "I thought I was mistaken. It's really you. When did you arrive?""I came here this afternoon.""What's in those bags?" Peter inquired, pointing to the two plastic bags in Jane's hands."Oh, it's dinner," Jane responded.Peter nodded and looked tow
