Joseph walked forward, suppressing his inner ecstasy, and looked at Hugo's eyes that had returned to clear, "Are you really okay?"

Hugo's lips outlined a light smile, "I'm not sure, after all, my work has not been completed yet, right?" Hugo's teasing immediately changed Samora, who was standing behind, but Joseph laughed. He knew that this was Hugo's cold humor, which really meant that Hugo had completely recovered.

Joseph carefully looked at the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth and let out a long sigh, "You'd better remember this. Your work has been delayed for a long time, and I have been under a lot of pressure on my shoulders." Joseph also made a joke, which made Hugo roll his eyes.

Joseph wanted to say something, but noticed Adam standing aside with restraint. He thought for a while and took the initiative to change the subject. "I think Tim and Steven must know the news as soon as possible. They have a hard time recently." Then he pulled Rick, who stretched his brows a little, and Samora, who was still nervous, and signaled them to leave together, "Cameron, can you come and help? I think Hugo has just recovered and must want to eat something hearty."

Rick reacted first, pulled Samora out first. Cameron looked up at Joseph. She originally wanted to say, "I just brought the porridge," but saw Joseph's eyes pointing at Adam. She also reacted and quickly wiped the embarrassment on her face. "This porridge has nothing to add, it tastes too bad. I should prepare some delicious food."

Cameron lowered his head and printed a kiss on Hugo's lips, then left with Joseph with porridge.

Outside the room, Rick was vaguely hearing the voice of the staff, and then he heard a burst of cheers, but before the cheers could be heard, they were suppressed, and then there was a sequel of low laughter and discussion, as if in a blink of an eye, the clouds that had not dispersed over the heads of the crew of "Death Prisoners Walking" for a long time were torn a crack, and the golden bright sunlight poured down in an instant.

Recently, Tim has been in self-blame. As a director, he has been forcing Hugo, but he has not noticed something wrong with Hugo. This is his dereliction of duty. Although no one has ever thought of throwing the responsibility to Tim, he cannot forgive himself. Steven is also in a heavy mood. A lot of work was waiting for him to deal with in the early stages of DreamWorks development, but he has no mind at all. Not only because something happened to Hugo, but also because of this incident, Steven sighed a lot.

Now, Hugo has finally recovered. Although everyone is not sure whether the damn "split personality" is still harassing Hugo, and does not know whether it will further deteriorate in the future or will come out to make trouble from time to time, at least from Hugo's current mental state, the familiar Hugo has finally come back. This is already a huge improvement.

In an instant, the entire crew felt relaxed, as if even the air became active.

Listening to the trivial noise outside the window, the room became quieter. Adam originally wanted to turn around and leave, but because he was worried about Hugo, his steps did not move forward. He just stood stiffly, looking at Hugo with some concern and awkwardness.

Adam didn't know what he said just now, whether Hugo had heard it. If he heard it... Adam couldn't help but feel urge to escape. He was really uncomfortable with such occasions. "So, just now..." Adam squirmed his lips and said a vague start, but stopped again. He was not sure what he should say.

Hugo looked at Adam in confusion, "When did you come?"

When Adam heard this, he suddenly looked at Hugo. The embarrassment in his eyes suddenly swept away, but then he found that he seemed to be a little too excited. He couldn't help but cough twice and looked away. Then he heard Hugo say, "Why are you here? Is it okay if there is no one to take care of the store?"

Hugo knew Adam, he knew that Adam was not used to expressing himself, and Adam did not want his weakness to be seen by others, even his own son, so Hugo did not expose Adam's protective cloak. Hugo knew that this was his father, who had been silently protecting his father in his way.

Hugo's shifting topic obviously made Adam feel much more comfortable. "With Old Jack here, everything is fine." Adam looked at his son again, "But what happened to you? Why did you suddenly say that there was something wrong with your body? What's going on? Now? Are everything OK?"

Hugo looked at his father in front of him, his eyes kept floating towards him, but he never dared to look at his eyes, just looked at his forehead, and then worried that he would see through his gaze, and looked nervously at other places, and then couldn't help looking at his forehead again. The panic-eyed and anxious voice revealed his true emotions.

Hugo nodded and said calmly, "Yeah, that's OK."

"Are you sure?" Adam interrupted Hugo's words impatiently, questioning with concern and doubt, "Are you really sure? When I came to see you in the morning... I mean, I heard from Qiao that you were so stressed that you needed to see a psychologist. The situation sounded serious. Are you really fine? I mean, you are about to be thirty years old, and you can't bear the pressure. I didn't educate you like this when I was a child... Your career is not developing very well now, why do you suddenly feel stressed? I think you are just not as psychologically qualifying..."

Hugo did not interrupt his father, so he let Adam vent his dissatisfaction like this. This may be the first time that the two fathers and sons have experienced such a situation in history. Hugo did not contradict Adam's accusations and complaints.

Of course Hugo knew that his situation was not that simple. Schizophrenia, psychological stress, and mental illness were not something that humans could control themselves. Although he has recovered now, no one knows when it will relapse again.

The most typical example is Heath Ledger. In order to play the role of the Joker in "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight", he was so involved that his whole spirit fell on the verge of collapse. During the filming, he even showed serious signs of personality splitting. However, before the filming of the movie, he still controlled himself well, and there was nothing on the surface. But in fact, Heath had never been able to completely get out of the show, and psychological pressure had always affected him invisibly, so that he finally took drugs and overdoses and eventually died young.

Although no psychologist can prove that the Joker's performance experience and Hiss' poisoning and drug abuse are directly related, many of Hiss' relatives and friends said that after the filming of "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight", Heath had no way to get rid of the influence of the role of Joker for a long time.

This is a psychological problem, which is invisible and intangible, and even more uncontrollable, but it often has a fatal impact.

The same was true for Hugo this time. He was on the verge of mental collapse and had even completely collapsed for a while. Fortunately, Hugo finally defeated himself, defeated his inner demons, regained his rationality, and regained his optimism. However, no one ensured whether similar things would happen in the future.

But Hugo knew that Adam didn't need to understand this, because Hugo believed in himself. When Adam behind him and his consistent support from his friends, he would be extremely powerful, strong enough to defeat some.

Adam finally noticed something was wrong. He was the only one who was talking nonsense. Hugo didn't refute at all, but just looked at him quietly, which made Adam feel embarrassed and straightened his words. He subconsciously touched the cigarette box in his pocket. He knew that he could not smoke in front of Hugo, but this action could make him feel safe. He shifted his gaze awkwardly and looked at the room.

"Last time I mentioned to you that you would buy a ranch. Do you want to reconsider this proposal?" Hugo suddenly spoke, recalling Adam's mention of buying horse harnesses just now. Hugo knew that Adam had always dreamed of owning his own ranch, and occasionally in his spare time he could participate in competitive cowboys.

When Adam heard this topic, he wanted to refuse directly. In his memory, Hugo's financial situation was always in difficulty, and he was always doing his best to help Hugo. So, when Hugo mentioned buying a ranch, he refused almost without thinking.

But when the words came to his mouth, Adam looked at his son again. He suddenly realized that it might be a good thing to buy a ranch. At least he knew how to run the ranch, and Old Jack could also help. If Hugo no longer works in the entertainment industry in the future, he could also prepare some way out for Hugo. Adam always believed that the entertainment industry could not make much money and could not last. This was completely the job of youth. What's more, the incident happened this time, which made Adam even more alert.

After thinking for a while, "Okay, I'll go back and check out the nearby ranch." Adam nodded and agreed, "How much money can you pay? I still have some savings in the bank. I guess there is no problem buying the ranch, but I need to check the equipment in the future, which is also a big expense. Old Jack is also interested in this area, so I'll ask him for his opinion."

Hugo had no idea about land purchases and sales in the United States, so he didn't know how much money he needed. He just looked at Adam and said hesitantly, "Is five million dollars enough?"

Adam choked on Hugo's saliva and coughed violently. Hugo thought the price was too low. He made an estimate based on the price of his Malibu villa, but when he thought about it carefully, the ranch must be several times larger than the villa. He continued, "If it is not enough, it doesn't matter if it is more."

Adam looked at Hugo with a serious look and said in surprise, "You have so much money now? Didn't you just bought a villa and a new car some time ago?"

Hugo shrugged and said in a little show-off tone, "I'm still doing a good job in this job." It's like a child showing off his certificate in front of his father.

Adam was stunned for a moment, but lowered his eyes and gently pulled the corners of his mouth, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.
