บท 184: MHS - Chapter 182
//DreamNote//
I think there is a misunderstanding amongst you after what you read at the end of the yesterday's chapter and in the overall arc. Here are some points which should answer some of your questions.
1. No, there is no supernatural stuff in this whole book. No cultivation shit. No young mater template. We don't that here.
2. No, the reflection he saw was not of his body's original soul. And no, no one is manipulating anything. MC is free. He can choose to stop making movies today and the system can't force him.
3. No, the mc will not enter politics. This is a showbiz fanfic and will always remain showbiz.
4. The character's reaction was human. He was too reliant on his system and he got the reality check. If you think it's all because "author wants it", then this argument would stand even if Will overcame this problem.
5. Uncle Ben was never the target.
6. Although the reflection talked about "beyond Hollywood", it will not come in play in 'this' fanfic. You're free to interpret this statement however you like.
As for the arc's bad execution, well, I agree with it. As I write this note and look back, I find so many things I could have done better. And that, I will. After all, I write this book to improve myself. I make mistakes, I do experiments, and I learn from them. I don't like drama in this fic either, but I did this arc as an experiment, and it failed because of lacklustre execution.
Please continue reading this because there's so much for me tell and for you to be amazed by.

Margaret Ellis was a middle-aged woman, who had been a nurse at the City hospital for almost seven years. Ever since she started working here, things have always been rough.
There was not even a day which went by making things easier for her. In relation to some surgeries, the possibilities were always higher of the patient not making it out alive.
But at the same time, an equal number of cases make it to the living world yet again. The whole point of being a nurse was, how they had to assist for everything and when sometimes things got messy they were overworked. A job related to physical health was never easy.
During her work time, she had come across so many cases that every case felt more or less something that she had encountered before. But the case that arrived three weeks ago was undoubtedly special.
It was the case of Will Evans.
The name of Will Evans was not something that she had never heard of. He was someone who most people in the United States would recognise unless one was six feet under the ground.
His popularity clearly showed in his movies where people would go to watch it even if the main lead isn't famous. They would call it a Will Evans movie and just go to the theatre, not worrying if the movie is good or not.
For everyone's contentment, not once were they disappointed.
Another thing that had made him famous was him becoming a multimillionaire in such a short time, and how he handled the fame and even dealt with the top brass of Hollywood and founded his own company which was quickly becoming a global corporation.
It was unfathomable for anyone as to how he had achieved so much from nothing at a young age. That's why people called him a genius.
She was surprised when Will was suddenly brought over to the hospital in a bad state.
Someone had stabbed him and he was in a critical situation. The surgeons were able to save him, but he went into a coma. It was practically a story out of a novel.
Because of that, the days in the hospital kept getting chaotic ever since he was admitted.
Paparazzi were trying their best to get details one way or another about Will as it was all over the news for weeks now. Some of them would even stay outside the hospitals 24/7 and sleep in their vans, trying to take photos of every famous person that would come to the hospital.
They had already tried to break in even though it was clearly notified that no paparazzi was allowed inside the hospital. No one was even allowed to take photographs.
The paparazzi tried to break in for the exact reason. Some wanted to take pictures of Will lying on the bed, while some simply wanted to gather more information.
The worst part of it all was how they were making deals with the hospital staff, nurses and even the residental doctors. For any sort of information, they were willing to pay money in huge amounts.
Due to not being able to resist the temptation of the money, some gave in while giving out different information of how Will was in the coma and how his condition was. What was the name of the doctor and who had to meet him till now and how did they behave?
Those sorts of information were added to the tabloids.
The saddest part of it all was how even June crying over Will outside his hospital room, made it to the headlines. Being the girlfriend of Will also made her a target of the media.
The nurse who saw June crying, had mentioned it to the media right away.
The good thing was that she was found out and had to face a warning by the board of the hospital and was nearly fired.
Since Magaret was one of the very few assigned to treat and take care of Will, she was high in-demand with the reporters and paparazzi. The cash offers she got were her salary worth seven months. The benefits included how her name won't be included anywhere and would remain anonymous.
But Margaret was aware of the situation inside where she works. There was a high probability of her losing her job and main income source if she gave in and distributed the information the paparazzi asks for. Yet, the whole thing was still in the back of her head.
After all, it was a huge sum and not everyone had been caught.
Thinking about all of it, she went inside where Will was in. It was time for a routine inspection.
She started doing her job and kept checking up on different stats.
It was then that she noticed something strange in the corner of her eye. Turning around, she noticed how Will's fingers moved.
Her eyes widened in shock and she kept looking at the hands for a few more seconds. Nothing made any sort of movement for the next forty-five seconds.
But then with a low-groan Will's eyes opened. The stare locked upon the nurse, and she smiled with a slight nod, trying to stop herself from shouting or any strange behaviour.
"I will get a doctor,"
She said and ran away as quickly as possible to call a doctor to inform that Will Evans had woken up.
***
Will was finally awake. The doctors who rushed to the ward on the call of the nurse, checked everything to make sure he is doing really fine and lastly confirmed, Will Evans was out of coma and was better.
With that being confirmed, the hospital informed people closer to Will to come and meet him.
Currently, Will's face was filled with so many questions as Benjamin and Jeffery came in.
Benjamin came running in Jeffery's office as soon as he heard the news and they both got into the hospital together. Benjamin had a huge smile and Jeffery had a strange yet happy look on his face the whole time they were in the car.
As soon as they walked in and saw that Will was seated on the bed and his gaze locked onto the wall in front of him, Benjamin and Jeffery felt at ease.
Suddenly, Benjamin had tears pooled in his eyes and Jeffery was so close to crushing Will's bones with a tight hug.
They sat, took a little break and started talking. Will had questions inside him yet took time to ask, because he still had a slight headache.
"What happened after that?" Will asked.
"Well, Matthew Collins is under arrest. The police say that he might probably end up in a mental asylum considering how he keeps repeating his hatred for you, the level is unhealthy," Jeffery explained.
Hearing the words coming out of Jeffery, Will understood that the stab was always for him and not for Benjamin. He had mistook it due to how blurry the vision was. In the end, he had never expected Matthew Collins to do something like this. There was also the matter of bodyguards but he would look into it later.
"How are you, Will?" Benjamin asked after a while.
"There's a slight headache and body pain. Doctor said it's normal, how have you been?"
"I was feeling pretty guilty about the whole situation, now that I know the stab was always for you, I feel like I could have even saved you, I mean you are closer to me and I can't believe Matthew would go crazy to-"
"Nothing happened, everything is fine now. Let's stop talking about it, shall we?" Jeffery said while patting Benjamin's shoulder.
"Yeah, uncle. As Jeffery said, Matthews must have really despised me to do something like this. Don't think anymore about it, how are things going?" Will asked.
His voice was hoarse and Will looked messy than ever. Although his body was clean, his eyes, hair and the normal behavior of 'Will Evans' was nowhere to be found.
It was like he had gone through some kind of trauma and became a bit different.
"They are kind of halted due to you not being there, but there's exciting news too," Jeffery answered.
Hearing that a slight smile came to Will's face.
"For how long was I out again? And, what's the exciting news?" Will asked, adjusting the pillow that was on his back. Jeffery helped him.
"You were out for three weeks. [Friends] released yesterday. Both Dream Vision and RBO wanted to delay but Amanda said that you wouldn't like it if it was delayed. Due to your name being behind it and you being in a coma, it became international news. Just in the first episode, [Friends] broke records. A lot of people watched it thinking it would be the last project you would work on." Benjamin said with a smile.
Will tilted his head listening to the news, and questioned, "I became an international news? And people thought I wouldn't survive?"
"Yes, you did. The media and everything has been going crazy ever since you were in coma. You know, they even tried bribing people inside the hospital to get things about you, and the paparazzi was craving every news. A lot of tabloids have started exaggerating your conditions and now, a lot of common people think that you won't survive this, so [Friends] publicity is next level." Benjamin explained the whole situation and Will wasn't able to stop himself from laughing.
[Friends] became too huge because people thought it was his last project. It was a very weird but effective marketing, even if they were not going for it.
At that moment, the door opened suddenly, revealing June who came in with tears in her eyes.
"Hey," She said, panting. It seemed like she had run all the way here but there was a smile on her face.
"How have you been?" Will questioned.
After a few seconds, Jeffery and Benjamin walked outside to give some space to June and Will who haven't talked to each other for three weeks.
