The Hero

Chapter 215 Perfect Actor

On the day Cillian died, she rushed home all night after she finished filming. Then, after he said a few words to the boy and his son-in-law, he admitted he was very tired and wanted to rest for a while.

However, this was Cillian's nap that would never wake up.

Although there was a team of medical professionals with him, they still could not resuscitate the old man and pulled him from the Grim Reaper's own grasp.

Cillian's son had been preparing for this a long time ago. Before Cillian died, doctors had told his son that the old man could leave at any time.Cillian woke up on the third day of his death, and Javier, Lloyd, Mr. Gander, and the others rushed over.

There were many movie celebrities on the scene, but most of them were older veteran actors and actresses who were deeply saddened by the passing of the old man.

Flowers filled his memorial, sent by the country's filmographic organization, air force, and many others who wished to offer their condolences. Cillian had not lived a rich life in the past, and now that she had died, it brought tremendous sadness to those around her, he said, it was clearly visible on the faces of those who attended his resurrection.

Obviously, everyone loved this old man very much.

Later, the Red Cross Association also arrived. In addition to bringing flowers, they also carry a donation certificate. In the end, the 12 million dollars Javier gave to Cillian remained donated.

Cillian's son told Javier, "Dad told me that the money would be used better by building a few more schools for the kids than building our own personal wealth."

As per the agreement, if Cillian donates the money, Javier will stop the filming process completely.

Therefore, the old man deliberately waited for the filming to finish before donating the money. This way, Javier won't be able to stop filming even if he wants to. Javier looked at the black-and-white image of the old man smiling and unable to find the right words to say.

After pondering for a moment, Javier thought that only the title "Perfect Actor" was right to describe the old man.

Not only was his acting skills perfect, but also his professionalism and kindness.

After the funeral ends, Javier meets Cillian's son.

“I heard that you and your wife are translators for Overseas and your son just entered a boarding school abroad. How about this? I'll help you both find work abroad for the sake of you and your son."

Cillian's son refuses to accept Javier's offer whatever happens but gives up on his good offer in the end when Javier raises the 12 million dollar bill, the Cillians are not greedy people. All they wanted was to be able to live their lives in peace and without regret.

Before he left, Javier asked, “Can you sell this old house to me if you decide to do so? Otherwise, could you leave me a set of keys? I want to stop by and chat with the old man whenever I get the chance.”

Cillian's son shook his head.

“I won't sell the house for sentimental reasons, but I can give you a set of keys..”.

That night, when Javier boarded the plane home, his mood was very bad.

He initially thought that he would be able to make a name for himself globally after producing a decent film.

Then, he would show this confession to Cillian and tell her that all their perseverance was worth it and it all paid off.

However, the old man ended up leaving the world even before the post-production process was completed.

This made Javier feel very disappointed and hollow.

Jade knows what's going on, so she can understand Javier's mood.

She gently hid in Javier's arms and hugged him. "You will be able to give Mr. Nolan peace of mind after you win the prize."

Javier just admits this and says nothing more. He just hugged Jade tightly.

Just at that moment, his phone rang.

At first, Javier won't answer his phone, but when Jade sees the caller ID coming in for him, she says, "It's Ciara."

As she answered the phone, Ciara's voice sounded from the other end of the phone. “More Christmas. Are you going home?”

Javier, who initially thought Ciara had gotten into trouble, replied, "No, I'm pretty busy with work now."

Ciara replied with "Oh" and sounded a little disappointed. Therefore, Javier quickly added, "I'll be home soon, maybe in two months."

It was only at this point that Ciara returned to being the cheerful girl she always was.

Then, he started chatting about what was happening in their family.

“Uncle Arthur and Aunt Marjorie have filed for divorce. Zephiel will follow Aunt Marjorie, but I don't know where to go. Neither Uncle Arthur, nor Grandpa seems to be bothered by this, which is very strange.”

This is a little weird. After all, Zephiel was a member of Kerseys, so how could Mariorie be allowed to take him?

It would be understandable if Arthur didn't want to ask about it, but the old fox didn't seem to care? That's very strange…

In fact, Ciara muttered as she said, "Although I hate Zephiel, she is still a descendant of our family in the end!"

Javier chuckles. “The fact that the old fox seems to be untroubled probably means there is something we do not know about this.”

Ciara asked, “What do you mean? I don't understand what you mean."

Javier replied, “Nothing, I just made a random guess.”

Then, Javier and Ciara chatted casually before the two hung up. Now, lying on the bed, Jade lay down in front of Javier and stuck out her chest.

“Seeing from Ciara's tone of voice, she doesn't seem to be just your sister.... She's not your real sister, is she?”

'Err.... How is this woman's sixth sense so powerful?! I didn't say anything, yet he could say so much?'

However, Javier thinks that he does not need to hide this, as it is a secret that will be revealed someday. Therefore, she told Jade, “No, she didn't. I thought he was originally, but I later realized that he wasn't even my half-brother.”

Jade then intimately lowered her head to Javier's chest.

"That's why the big bad wolf finally took him away first, right?"

'How could he come to this conclusion ?! No one could bring him to this conclusion at all!'

When Javier asked about this in surprise, Jade said, “How could I not know? Ciara was flirtatious in front of you, but she did not dare to push her too far for fear that you would get angry at her. Women like her, who are conflicted about wanting to show their funny side but are afraid of being scolded, clearly show that you have done it, but your relationship has not stabilized. Am I wrong? You can't lie about this woman's sixth sense.”

Javier only feels fascinated by Jade's ability to analyze so many things just through Ciara's tone of voice. Most importantly, Jade had analyzed everything properly!

Thankfully, Javier did not choose to lie to Jade, nor did he have to suffer from the immense awkwardness with his lies revealed! As she was thinking about this, Jade suddenly lowered her head and bit Javier's lips hard. It was a bite, not a kiss, and it made Javier clench his teeth in pain.

However, Jade very quickly let go and extended her hand to wipe her lips, feeling heartbroken.

But his mouth said something else. “Serve you properly for falling in love with a woman every time you meet them and make me feel jealous. Worst of all, there was nothing I could do about it. If only you were a little uglier, of course, it would be better if you were a really ugly man so no one tried to take you away from me.”

Javier couldn't help feeling excited at that moment.

"However, do you still want me if I'm terrible?" Jade thought.

“Forget it, I'd rather if you were a little uglier. It's not good if you're terrible and I have to throw up every time I see you.”
