The Hero

Chapter 209 Lifetime Achievement Award

To be honest, Javier's worried about Cillian's health. He can try to get Osbom at any time, but Cillian will be gone forever if he dies. Nevertheless, Cillian pleaded not to agree.

“I don't care about this at all. I have to die sooner or later, so delaying my life for a few more years will make no difference. This is the only dream I have left in my life. Because heaven made it happen, it was like fulfilling my dream for me. I have to take this chance. There's no way I'm gonna let go.

“So consider this a request. I don't need to be paid. I can even pay to shoot. Give me the script. Let me act in this movie, okay?”

Javier had no way of describing his inner turmoil. He really has mixed feelings now. She has complicated emotions, as she wants to fulfill Cillian's wishes but she must take responsibility for Cillian's life. After all, he was not the son of Cillian—he could not make such a decision on his behalf.

She's sad. This was originally a pretty happy opportunity. If Cillian was healthy and fine, it would be a joyous thing. Everyone will be be beaming from ear to ear. But now…

Cillian was still pleading, hoping to act in the film. His son was crying on the side, as were his daughter-in-law.

Dana wipes her tears with the back of her hand and tells Javier, "Let him do it!"

Cillian's son nodded afterwards. "Dad, you got my support."

After receiving everyone's support, Cillian rejoiced and hugged the manuscript tightly in her arms as if it was a jewel.

This is what a real actor looks like. He would give up on the rest of his life for a brilliant script. He would give up on the payment for such a script. In comparison, other actors seem to fail, regardless of whether they are talented or popular.

They had lunch at Cillian's place during the day, and Chad rushed in the afternoon. He did not carry a contract of employment but a certificate of honor awarded by Reivaj Media. It was a Lifetime Achievement Award for the players.

Perhaps this award is not so honorable, as given by Reivaj Media itself and not recognized by others, but the prize is astounding. Not only was Cillian and her family shocked, Dana was too. The prize is 12 million dollars.

When a cheque worth 12 million dollars after the tax cut was put on the table, Cillian waved her hand.

“No, no, I can't accept this. I'm just doing my job. I am not entitled to take this money.”

“People say that doing your best to do a task is something honorable. Mr. Nolan, you are such a person. Please accept the money. And you can't donate it in any way.

“If not, our company reserves the right to terminate its contract with you. I hope you understand."

The money was Javier's gift to Cillian and her family. He did not want the man to donate it or use it for anything else.

At Javier's insistence, Cillian accepts the money.

After saying goodbye to Cillian, Javier disembarks with Cillian's son, who escorts him away.

Javier told him, “Bro, don't worry. I'll contact the best team overseas and get him to join the production team and handle your father's care. I will be making contacts overseas for my next treatment plan as well. You don't have to worry about that.

Cillian's son looked very grateful. The 12 million dollars Javier gave them almost knocked him unconscious. He knew that his father was not so valuable no matter how much he could be paid. This was purely a personal gesture from Javier's side.

Therefore, he did not know what to say in response to Javier's kindness and could only hug him to express his emotions.

After this phone call, Chad who was in another car called Javier.

"Trs. Kersey, the point of contact has been received by Lloyd's company and the press conference will take place tonight. It will be held at Seven Stars, and Lloyd will be in attendance. Are we going?”

Javier at first did not want to leave and had planned for Chad to leave and spoil the conference with a bomb. But after pondering about it, he told the latter, “Yes, we will leave after returning to Medb. Prepare the info first.”

“Don't worry, Mr. Kersey. The info is on the laptop that I carry everywhere. Can be printed anytime.”

Javier's always been convinced by Chad's way of doing things. He was much more reliable than that cowardly Luca.

After hanging up the phone, Javier told Dana who was driving, “I will drive. It's not comfortable for you when you wear heels.

Dana, who was wearing sunglasses, turned her head towards him with a smile. "Don't worry, we're in cruise control."

The sunset rays that shone on Dana's pretty face made her shine. Her oversized sunglasses, in particular, add a sense of puzzle to her and make her full of seduction

Unable to hold back, Javier leaned forward and kissed her cheek.

"You're so pretty. I'm afraid I won't let you leave me if I spend more time with you.

Dana blushed. He knows that Javier is telling the truth and he feels the same way. She is afraid that she doesn't care if her husband is cured or not if she spends more time with Javier.

She had already started betraying her husband physically, but she felt she would do it emotionally right now.

It was fortunate that Javier just grabbed his hand and rubbed it gently without saying anything more.

Dana took a deep breath as she drove down the highway. He wondered how much fun it would be if the sunset remained and the highway did not end…

Upon his return to Medb, Javier breaks up with Dana and gets into Chad's rental car. Both of them speeded up and arrived at the Seven Star Hotel.

There was still half an hour before the press conference, so the two ate first. Only after eating alone did they go to the press conference venue.

Reporters from various publishers were already there, while Lloyd's staff was ready. Not long after Javier and Chad were seated, the official press conference began.

After a few words from the host to warm up the audience, four celebrities with a large fan base, two men and two women, performed.

Cheers erupted from the venue, sounding more hysterical than would have been possible had the audience's parents died. Everyone waved the LED board saying "We love you", "You're the best", and the others.

It's hard to understand what these fools, who keep posting "My prettiest wife" or "My most handsome husband" on their social media accounts. Of course, they could also be hired by Lloyd to pump atr Chad chuckles from the side. "Let's see if they'll yell and cheer happily when all the nonsense about their 'idols' is revealed later!"
