Chapter 624 624 The Wheel of History
After the lunch party, Samora drove Hugo home in a car. Samora was obviously interested in the cooking at the lunch party today. "Do you know? There are many dishes that the chefs brought to the office with ingredients and came out on site using simple kitchen equipment. I talked with those chefs for a long time. Although they all said that many cooking methods were secrets, I still learned a lot. This is really wonderful..."
Hugo couldn't help laughing, "No wonder I almost didn't see you. It turned out that you went to the kitchen. I wondered why I didn't see you next to the buffet table."
"That's because I always find the best source of food. You didn't eat caviar, I ate it in the kitchen, haha!" Samora said proudly. If he hadn't been driving, he would have probably danced.
When Samora was about to be excited, Hugo's cell phone rang. Hugo smiled and asked "What does caviar taste?" while searching out the phone in the direction of the ringtone, and then picked it up, "Hello, Hugo Lancaster."
"Hey, Hugo, it's me, Michael." Michael's usual slender and weak voice came from the other end of the phone, but I don't know if it was Hugo's illusion. He always felt that Michael seemed to be even weaker today, and the voice seemed to be cut off at any time.
Hugo patted the driver's seat cushion and said to Samora, "Pull the car over." Then he picked up the microphone again, "Michael, are you planning to call me to congratulate me on the New Year, there are still ten hours left before 1994."
Samora also noticed the tension in Hugo's voice and quickly pulled the car over and stopped. Fortunately, he had not yet driven on Santa Monica Avenue, otherwise it would be troublesome to park. After stopping, Samora sat quietly in place, even trying to make himself breathe, for fear of disturbing Hugo.
At this time, Hugo was indeed completely tense because he heard Michael say, "Hugo, I can't hold on, I'm sorry." This made Hugo feel like a bolt from the blue in an instant. He worked so much and persisted for so long, but in the end he still couldn't change history? Did the wheel of history still roll forward ruthlessly? So does this mean that Michael Jackson could not avoid the fate of falling in sorrow and pain after all; does this also mean that "Hugo Lancaster" actors who no one has ever heard of in the future will be buried in the long river of history?
"Why!" Hugo could not imagine, and he could not believe it. The questioning voice blurted out, but after he spoke it, he realized that he was still too excited. He took a deep breath, adjusted his tone and said calmly, "Michael, you know you are innocent, and everyone knows that Chandler and his son are disgusting liars. Why don't you continue to persevere? Maybe hold on for a while, all the truth will be revealed, right?"
"Hugo, I'm sorry, you believe me so much and are even willing to bet on your career for me, but, but I don't think I can continue to persevere." Michael's voice was filled with countless fatigue. The reason he called Hugo was because Hugo's previous actions moved him. A rising star with a prosperous career was willing to stand on his side at such a critical moment. This is not a task that ordinary people can complete. Now, Michael wants to give up. He feels that he seems to have let Hugo down, so he decided that he should say to Hugo, at least not let Hugo know the news from the media.
Hugo heard the almost desperate gray in Michael's voice, and all his words were stuck in his throat. Hugo knew that he would never know how terrible Michael had experienced, and he would never know whether he could hold on like Michael for so long when the whole world poured water on him. He even more did not know that if he was stabbed in the back by the only person he trusted in life like Michael, he could still insist on "Holding hope"... He could understand all this, but he was not Michael, he was not the person involved, and all "I understand" was nonsense, nonsense without any power.
So, Hugo was speechless, his clever words stuck in his throat, and was blocked by Michael's desperate voice so much that he couldn't even say a word.
Michael seemed to have noticed the mixed emotions that Hugo had heard through the microphone. He believed that Hugo was not weaker than himself at this moment. As long as he had seen Hugo's amazing speech when facing reporters, few people would not be willing to believe the young man's remarks. This is also an important reason why Michael has won breathing time in the past two weeks. Both the media and Chandler and his son were shocked by Hugo's momentum.
"Hugo, I underwent a physical examination yesterday." Michael's voice came from the microphone, and then Hugo felt like he was stuck in his throat. Things happened after all. He was unable to stop the wheel of history. This physical examination was a devastating blow to Michael, almost destroying all Michael's self-esteem and confidence, and also destroying Michael's poor health.
Historically, after Jordan Chandler described Michael's genitals, the police accepted the request of Chandler and his son to try to conduct a physical examination of Michael. After hesitation, Michael decided to cooperate with the police to prove his innocence. Immediately, the police and the doctor entered the Dream Manor and conducted a physical examination of Michael for twenty-five minutes. Attorneys from Michael and Chandler, a doctor, a prosecutor, a Jackson's bodyguard and a photographer participated in the examination in the room.
The doctor's examination concluded that Michael Jackson's genital form is very similar to Jordan Chandler's description, including the details caused by Michael's symptoms of vitiligo, but the doctor said that this does not have a decisive effect on the investigation of the case, because it is not decisive evidence and cannot be used in court as evidence of conviction.
However, this physical examination had a great impact on Michael's body and mind, because the doctor and the police conducted detailed examinations on various parts of his body, and took photos and videos of all parts of his genitals, ****, buttocks, etc. This completely destroyed Michael's self-esteem and personality, and since then he became a psychological shadow for Michael.
In fact, the investigation and evidence of the past few months have put Michael's body in a very bad state. He began to suffer from anorexia, had frequent nightmares, and took painkillers in larger doses, including many prescription painkillers. During these months, Michael's weight dropped by nearly ten kilograms, and his spirit gradually became depressed, and even went to London for several months of rehabilitation treatment.
Due to his poor physical condition, Michael had to end his "dangerous" global tour ahead of schedule and cancel his final performance in Australia and the United States. Michael's dependence on drugs caused irreparable damage to his body and was considered one of the causes of his death when he eventually died.
"Hugo, do you remember the topic we talked about when we first met?" Michael said weakly.
Hugo pulled the corner of his mouth and tried to make some noises, but he found that his voice was actually a little hoarse, extremely hoarse, "Yes, we have discussed those hateful crows." Hugo only felt very sad. He worked hard for so long, but he still couldn't stop the wheel of history. Now he was talking with Michael. Is he going to witness the fall of the superstar in his own eyes this time? He doesn't want this.
"Haha, I can imagine you're so imposing when facing crows. Look at the crows, all of which are speechless by you. I think few people can control these damn crows to death. This is really a pleasing." Michael said a rare long sentence, and there could be some faint smiles in his weak voice, but this could not make Hugo laugh.
Hugo tried to pull the corners of his mouth, but unfortunately he failed. Michael continued, "I know very well that the accusations are false, but the crows are unwilling to believe that they are always hype, hype, hype. Even if there is no new evidence, they always find opportunities to attack me. They even keenly discuss when my music career will end. It is really ridiculous. When I create glory, they pursue me; but now, they want to bury me with their own hands. Maybe, this is the vicious cycle in the entertainment industry."
"But Michael, you can't just surrender like this. If you surrender to these crows, that's the real failure." Hugo couldn't help but want to fight for it again. During the Golden Globes incident, Hugo once thought maybe this was the case, but now Hugo knows that this is not the case. "Facing with crows, you can never admit defeat or be weak, because they will never disappear. On the contrary, they will always wait for the opportunity to hit you again, so you must never give up and must not surrender, otherwise these crows will soon swallow you alive, just like judging those witches."
Michael listened to Hugo's words full of vitality, but suddenly a strong resentment burst out, "I know, I know, I want to persist, I also want to prove my innocence, so I underwent a shameful fruit examination and wanted to prove my innocence, because I am completely innocent, I am completely innocent!" At this point, Michael began to cough quickly, as if he was choked because he was too anxious to speak, but he endured it and said helplessly, "But they always don't want to let me go, there is no end, everything in front of him has no end..."
