Chapter 1188: Chapter 1196: Why Not Take to the Hospital

The film crew officially started work the next day, and in James Chip’s own words, it was his first time encountering so many issues as a director after so many years.

After arriving in King Town, the work went much smoother, but for the actors, it became a lot more demanding.

The weather in King Town kept dropping day by day, and after a rain, the temperature plunged into the single digits.

In King Town, Jane Sampson had a scene where the Honored Princess Consort Dawn performs a dance for divine favor. To ensure a good effect, Jane performed personally. After spending a long time learning several dance moves with a dance teacher, she danced in self-absorption at night in the single-digit temperatures, wearing nothing but a thin gauze dance costume.

After shooting the scene, Jane successfully caught a cold.

Lucy Brisk made ginger tea for Jane continuously for a week and used cold medicine to no avail; the cold lasted an entire half a month.

When Bright Sampson heard Jane’s nasal voice while on the phone and learned that she had been sick for half a month with no signs of recovery, he immediately took leave and traveled thousands of miles to King Town alone.

Jane’s body had been weak since she was young. It was only after growing up and taking care of her health slowly that she was able to shake off the nickname of being a ”medicine pot.”

She still fell ill easily during the change of seasons, and when she did, it would drag on for a long time.

When Bright Sampson arrived at the hotel room, Jane was completely delirious with fever.

Lucy Brisk let him in, and he was so anxious that he was on edge.

”Sister~” Bright entered the room and nudged Jane before speaking up, ”I brought the traditional Chinese medicine you used to take frequently when you were young.”

As he said this, he handed the Chinese medicine bag to Lucy, requesting, ”Give this to the hotel waiter and have them help boil it. As soon as it’s ready, bring it here. When my sister had fevers and colds as a child, she mostly relied on Chinese medicine.”

After saying that, Bright reprimanded, ”It’s so serious, why haven’t you taken her to the hospital?”

”When she returned last night, it just seemed like a cold with a runny nose and sneezing constantly. I don’t know how it got to the point this morning that Sister Jane’s entire body is burning up. The hotel arranged for a doctor to come over and give Jane antipyretics, but it seems to have had no effect.” Lucy sighed, ”I suggested taking Sister Jane to the hospital, but she refused, saying that covering up with a quilt to sweat it out would do, and mentioned she still had to go to the film set in the afternoon, not wanting to delay everyone.”

Lucy was anxious as well, but Jane was usually agreeable; however, once she became stubborn, she was truly immovable.

These few days, Jane had been sick, and her condition hadn’t been great. The filming hadn’t been going smoothly, often requiring several takes to get a scene right.

Jane was someone with incredibly high standards for herself, so in these past few days, the film crew was indeed delayed because of her, making her even more determined to keep going.

James Chip also kept advising Jane to rest, and these days he dared not schedule her for scenes too early or too late.

Lucy took the medicine bag and left the room. Jane was awakened by Bright’s nagging and, opening her eyes to see his worried face, she tried to sit up with her strengthless body and waved him over, asking, ”When did you return to the country?”

”The day before yesterday,” Bright replied. ”After the competition ended, we went straight back home. After settling in, I called you yesterday and found out you’ve been sick for nearly half a month without improvement. I went to Grandpa Peterson, the veteran traditional Chinese medicine doctor who treated you when you were young, grabbed more medicine for you, and caught the overnight flight here.”
