Chapter 731

The problem was that from Liv's point of view, there was no better choice. To be honest, Liv was still a little young for the movie, but he really couldn't find a more suitable movie. It was either lacking in acting skills or temperament, unless Adriaan was given enough time to recall.

Oh, "The End of the World" seemed fine, but Michael Bay was still directing his first movie, and there was still a movie waiting for him. It would be fine if it was someone else, but the producer wasn't Bruckheimer, so Adriaan was worried.

After thinking about it, only "Decapitation Valley" was the most suitable. He couldn't let her shoot a movie about Bertolucci, that old pervert, right? Did that old guy shoot anything other than his sexual fantasies?

Therefore, although Liv was a little young, it wasn't a big problem. It didn't matter if the effect of roping her in was not the best. At least it was better than nothing at all.

You know, little Liv, I've spent a lot of effort on you. Adriaan thought as he slowly drove the car onto the street. During this time, he had some interaction with Liv, but because his energy was spent elsewhere, he still hadn't figured out the girl. Sometimes she was very naive, and it was inevitable that she spoke and did things a little childish. Sometimes, she was very cunning, and always kept a distance from everyone. But it didn't matter. When "Decapitation Valley" started preparing, there would be plenty of time.

Just then, his attention was suddenly attracted by the situation at the entrance of an alley. Nothing much, just a person lying on the ground. This situation was too common. There were often drunk people lying down wherever they went. But for some reason, Adriaan felt a sense of familiarity.

It must be an illusion. He retracted his gaze and muttered to himself. The next second, he stepped on the brake. Although the speed of the car wasn't high, the inertia still sent the two forward.

"What happened?" Charlize, who was shocked, asked angrily.

"It's Rui Fan. I recognize his clothes." Adriaan unbuckled the safety belt, opened the door, and jogged over to the person lying on the ground. He didn't know why he wanted to do this. Was it because he liked the young man?

He squatted down and turned the person over. It was indeed the young man named Rui Fan from the club. His eyes were closed, and his face was pale under the dim street light. His lips were slightly purple, and his body was twitching slightly. His breathing was very weak, and he seemed to be in shock or could die at any time.

It was obvious that he had fainted from a drug overdose, and he must have been lying there for a while. Adrian looked around. There was no one on the deserted street, only the noise from the club in the distance. Occasionally, there would be cars passing by, but they didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. No wonder no one noticed him.

"What?" Adriaan shouted.

"What's the matter?" Charles, who was sitting in the driver's seat, drove the car to the side of the road and stuck his head out.

"Call the directory service and ask them where the nearest hospital is." As Adriaan spoke, he placed Rui Fan's hands and feet on his body. He placed his hands on Rui Fan's chest and began to press rhythmically. "Then call them and tell them that there's a guy here who fainted due to a drug overdose. Ask them to prepare a stretcher and prepare for emergency treatment!"

"Got it." Charlize replied briefly, and then began to make the phone call as instructed. Adriaan squatted down on the street and pressed Rui Fan's chest again and again. CPR was a simple first aid method, and almost everyone knew how to do it.

"The nearest hospital is two streets away. I've already informed them." Charlize quickly poked his head out again. Adriaan leaned over Rui Fan's mouth and nose to listen. Rui Fan's breathing was much louder than before. First aid was obviously effective. However, there was no need for CPR. It wasn't that there was any rejection of two men mouth-to-mouth — okay, it was a little. But the main reason was that CPR did not work on drug-induced shock.

"You drive. We'll go there right away." Adriaan carried Rui Fan and sat in the back seat.

Because it was already a little late, there were still some people partying on the street, but it was much fewer than before. Therefore, it only took about eight minutes for the car to arrive at the entrance of the hospital.

Carrying Rui Fan into the hospital, the doctors and nurses who had received the call were already waiting there. Fortunately, this was a private hospital, which was much more efficient than public hospitals. Soon, he was resuscitated.

"Charley, you go back and rest first. I'll wait here." After making the call at the front desk, Adrian came out of the ward and happened to see Charlie yawning in a very ungentlemanly manner.

"You're waiting here?" Charlize, who forced his sleepy eyes open, asked in confusion.

"Yes, I just called his agent based on the business card in his pocket — I didn't expect him to be an actor. His agent said that his parents live in Texas, and he only has two younger brothers in Los Angeles, who live in Long Beach. It will take a lot of time to rush here. I can't just leave before they arrive, can I? " Adriaan shrugged, then sat down next to Charlize, and tenderly held her face.

"You're already very tired, and it's not good for your skin to sleep too late. I don't want my important assistant to take time off because she's not feeling well. You know, I can't leave her." Adriaan looked at her and said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Charlize blinked her eyes blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment. Fortunately, at that moment, the door of the ward opened, and the doctor and nurse came out one after another.

"How is it, doctor?" Adriaan stood up immediately.

"His condition has stabilized." The old man with Mediterranean hair pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Now he's being given an infusion and oxygen, and he'll wake up in a few hours. If there's nothing particularly important, don't disturb him. He's very lucky that you bought him a few minutes for CPR. If you sent it a few minutes later, he would have died. "

"Thank you, doctor. Can we go in and have a look now? Just for a few minutes. "Adriaan nodded and asked.

The young man with a breathing mask was lying quietly on the hospital bed, hanging in a bag next to him, and liquid was dripping down little by little. Adriaan didn't know what it was, and the doctor had said it, but he didn't remember it. Anyway, it was used to neutralize drugs, and it seemed to be effective. At least the young man's breathing had stabilized a lot, and although his face was still pale, at least it was no longer frighteningly pale.

"You saved him, Eide," Charlize suddenly whispered beside him.

"I saved him?" Adriaan repeated, and a subtle feeling suddenly spread in his heart.

"Yes, you saved him." Charlize strengthened his tone, "If you didn't get out of the car, if you didn't do that to him, if you didn't send him to the hospital in time, maybe he would have died."

Indeed, judging from the quiet environment at that time, if he didn't get out of the car, he might have really died. Adriaan looked at the patient's information at the end of the bed, and the young man's name was Revan Phoenix.

"Well, he's really fine now. Let's go out." Adriaan walked out of the ward with Charlize, and then continued the previous topic, "Go back and rest, Charley. I'll wait for his brother to come before I leave. He'll be fine."

Surprisingly, Charlize refused his proposal.

"Forget it. If something happens to you while I'm away, how troublesome would that be?" She said with a sigh, seemingly helpless, giving people the feeling that they had to succumb to reality, but there was always a faint smile on her face.

"But …"

"You just need to lend me your shoulder." Charlize pulled him to a chair outside the ward and sat down. Ignoring everything else, she leaned her head on his shoulder, yawned, and began to take a nap.

With a chuckle, Adriaan adjusted his posture so that she could lean more comfortably, and then closed his eyes to rest.

Revan Phoenix. He repeated the name several times in his heart, and suddenly thought of Emma's parents who died in the car accident more than two years ago. Then he thought of Denis, Laffern, and the countless unknown original screenwriters. Some people died because of him, and some people survived because of him. Some people recovered because of him, and some people might end up on the streets because of him.

Fate is really interesting. Adriaan sighed softly in his heart. Although he always knew that a lot of things would change because of him, whether it was the car accident that killed Emma's parents, or making Monica and Julia his women, none of them made him feel as deeply as he did today. Perhaps it was because he saved a person who was going to die?

After a few seconds of silence, Adriaan closed his eyes and smiled. He admitted that the feeling of saving someone was indeed deep, because it was like controlling someone's life. Especially since he knew what the future was like, the feeling was even stronger. Therefore, the beauty was not saving someone, but controlling!

However, for some reason, he felt that the name Revan Phoenix was very familiar. Perhaps he heard of this guy's name in his previous life? As Adriaan thought about it, he fell asleep until he was awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Is it here, Jaquen?" A slightly childish voice rang in his ear.

"Yes, it is." Then it was a young man's voice.

When Adriaan opened his eyes, two people had already rushed into the ward.

"Don't worry, he's fine. He'll wake up soon. It's better not to disturb him now." After waking up Charlize, who was leaning against him, Adriaan walked into the ward and said to the two people who were anxiously guarding the bed. One was very young, looking less than 20 years old, and the other was even younger, not even 10 years old.

"You are?" The younger one looked at him and spoke first.

"I'm Adriaan, the one who sent Revan to the hospital," Adriaan introduced himself.

"Thank you! Thank you! " The younger one suddenly grabbed him and said excitedly, "God, I can't imagine what the world would be like without Revan!"

"Sorry, he's a little emotional," the older one explained awkwardly.

"I understand." Adriaan smiled and patted the child on the shoulder, then extended his hand to the younger one. "Adrian Kewell, you can call me Adriaan or Eide."

"Joaquin, Joaquin Phoenix, this is my brother, Silver Phoenix," said the young man by way of introduction.

Adriaan raised his eyebrows. He finally remembered who Revan Phoenix was.
