Through the VIP passage at Kennedy Airport, Eric, who only brought two followers, got into the car that came to pick him up.

When the car started, Kapoor, who was sitting next to Eric, spoke: "Miss Pakula was taking a Universal action movie. She played a female agent of FBI. Charlie told me that when Miss Pakula took this movie, she asked the heroine to finish filming within one month. In order to adapt to this condition, Universal extended her daily work time..."

Eric nodded simply and interrupted Kapoor: "Kapore, you know I don't care about this."

Kapoor paused and said, "She fainted because she was overworked while pregnant and caused her hypoglycemia. The doctor had already had a test and it was nothing serious. She just needed a good rest.'..." After hesitating, Kapoor added, "The child is fine."

Eric finally took a deep breath and leaned relaxed on the back of the chair.

Looking at Eric's reaction, Kapoor asked tentatively: "Eric, what are you going to do?"

"Let Charlie Walker hand over all Joan's work, and you will take it personally in the future, but don't arrange any work for her before the child is born. In addition, the Universal movie will be rejected, and I will call Michael Eisner to discuss this."

Kapoor seemed to want to ask something, but in the end he didn't say it. Although the two were good friends, this matter was too private after all. However, Kapoor still felt a little strange about Eric accepting the child easily. He thought Eric was rushing back so quickly, making another completely opposite plan.

Half an hour later, the car came outside a private clinic in East City, Manhattan. Eric saw through the car window that the clinic gate was filled with reporters holding long guns and short cannons, and he did not feel any surprise. "Tornado" is still being released worldwide. After more than three months, the box office in North America has easily exceeded 300 million US dollars, and overseas box offices are also rising steadily. As the heroine, Joanna is currently the most concerned moment.

The security guard opened the clinic door. Eric and others drove in without getting out of the car.

"Not many people know about this. Apart from Charlie and Miss Pakula's assistant, there are only the directors and staff who sent Miss Pakula here, and the attending doctors of this clinic." Kapoor said to Eric when the vehicle entered the door: "We won't leak it here. I also signed a confidentiality agreement with this clinic in the morning, but on the Global side, you'd better communicate with Michael Eisner."

Eric nodded, but he could imagine that Michael Eisner might have issued a ban on the crew of Universal. The leak of this matter will not benefit the Universal and will not cause much harm to him. The blockade of the news can instead sell him a favor.

"This is Dr. Robert Bean." Several people walked into the clinic and Kapoor introduced to Eric a middle-aged man in his forties in his white coat.

"Hello, Doctor Bean." Eric politely extended his hand to the other party.

"I'm glad to see you, Mr. Williams," Robert Bean shook hands with Eric and gestured toward the corridor: "Please come with me, Mr. Williams, Miss Pakula is there.

Walking through the corridor, the group followed the stairs to the second floor. Several people sitting on the bench outside the ward saw Eric appear and quickly got up and walked over.

Among the few people, Charlie Walker, who had obvious dark circles, was the first to speak: "Mr. Williams. I'm so sorry."

Eric knew that Joanna must have concealed this from Charlie Walker, and did not mean to make things difficult for the agent. He patted the other party's shoulder before saying to everyone: "I'll talk to Joan first."

Pushing open the door, Eric saw a brown-haired girl with a ponytail sitting by the bed, chatting with Joanna in a low voice. When he heard the door, both women turned their heads.

"You go out first," Eric said to the brown-haired girl, remembering that this was Joanna's personal assistant, but he didn't remember the other person's name.

The brown-haired girl nodded and hurried out of the room with her little head down. When Joanna on the hospital bed saw Eric, her eyes became obviously panicked. She reached out and gently pulled the quilt, covering most of her face, as if she wanted to hide her whole person.

Eric sighed with pity when he saw Joanna's movements, and sat down beside the bed.

"Eric..." Joanna looked at Eric's expression worriedly and shouted softly.

Eric reached out to help Joanna fix the messy hair on her forehead. Seeing the woman's shrunk, she sighed again: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Joan, are you so unconfident in me?"

"No, no," Joanna seemed relieved to feel Eric's gentle little movement, and shook her head gently and said, "No, no, just... Just Vicky said, say..."

"It seems that it's not a good idea to get you together," Eric could almost imagine what Virginia would say, and shrugged helplessly. Virginia had been in Hollywood for too long and was used to breaking up and getting back together between celebrities. In addition, her relatively independent personality, she did not have much confidence and dependence on feelings and men. When Eric and Virginia were together, although women always followed him, he often felt Virginia's casual attitude. It seemed that after the two of them had a happy night, he would completely disappear into her life the next moment, and Virginia would not make a fuss.

Joanna seemed at a loss when she heard Eric complaining like this.

Eric reached out and pulled one of Joanna's little hand, patted comfortably, and said, "Joan, do you remember what I said to you the night I went to San Francisco two years ago?"

Joanna was stunned. When she remembered some scenes that night, her face turned red at first, and she wanted to imitate Virginia's expression to glar at Eric, but in the end she just lowered her eyes and nodded slightly.

"I wasn't kidding you that night. So don't worry, give birth to the baby, I will raise it with you."

"But," Joanna raised her head with some concern: "You..."

"If you are worried, I can hold a press conference now and announce to the public that I want to be a father."

After hearing this, Joanna finally felt relieved. What she was most worried about was that Eric refused to admit the child, or had been hiding the child's identity from the outside. If this were the case, the child would definitely not have a good growth environment. Because if a child wants to grow up healthily, it is definitely not enough to just protect the material things.

"Eric. As long as you accept this child, forget about the press conference. I don't want it to be watched by the media so early."

Eric saw that Joanna finally showed a relieved expression on her face and felt relieved: "Okay. Do whatever you say, you can do whatever you want, now you are the biggest."

Joanna chuckled softly, with a little sweetness, caressed her abdomen through the quilt, with a little awkward act of coquettishness: "Eric, I'm hungry."

"I'll make it for you with my own hands."

“You don’t make delicious.”

"Well, okay, I'll call your assistant in. If you want to eat, please let her do anything. I'll talk to the doctor and Kapoor and others about something."

Joanna nodded and said, "Eric. My shots in that movie will be finished in another week. I plan to..."

"Let the movie go hell, you can take care of your baby and leave the rest to me."

Joanna watched Eric get up and leave, and she struggled slightly. She wanted to enjoy Eric's doting moment alone. But she felt that she shouldn't be so selfish. In the end, Joanna grabbed Eric's hand: "Eric, Vicky is also filming, right in Philadelphia."

The woman Eric felt seemed a little nervous again, and grabbed Joanna's little hand and said comfortingly: "Well, I understand. When she finishes the filming, I will let her be your nanny and sew her talking little mouth on it."

"No, I don't mean that, I mean..." Joanna looked up at Eric, shook the corner of her lips gently before making up her mind, and said, "I mean, she is pregnant too."

"Ah..." Eric staggered and almost fell.

...

Philadelphia is less than two hours away from New York. Eric arrived in New York when it was almost noon. After getting the news from Joanna, he had to rush to Philadelphia immediately. Although the two women were pregnant at the same time, Eric felt a little surprised, but Joanna was already lying on the hospital bed. Eric didn't want another woman to have an accident.

As Virginia's agent, Kapoor also sat in a car with Eric in the tens of millions of Philadelphia. At this time, he was talking to Eric about Virginia's filming information: "I have contacted him. Virginia's crew is now filming on the Ivy Tree Street in the old town of Philadelphia. We can go directly. This is a drama film from Carlock Films. The script I talked about myself has some thrillers, but there are definitely no thrilling scenes."

Eric nodded with confidence.

There was no GPS navigation in this era. After arriving in Philadelphia, Eric and others took a while to find the destination. After getting off the car, they walked into the set under the leadership of the crew members and almost got shocked by the scene being filmed.

In the middle of the set surrounded by crew members, a two-story bus was parked on the side of the road, and a sponge pad with a thickness of one meter on the right side of the vehicle was placed on the ground. Virginia, wearing a red dress, stood on the roof of the bus with her back facing Eric and Kapoor, bargaining with the middle-aged man sitting on the raised boom, holding a high-rise boom: "Mr. Pine, this is definitely this time. I won't fall for the second time. If you can't take a good shot, you'll use a stand-in next time."

The middle-aged man who was debugging the camera was also a cheerful person, and waved his hand decisively: "Don't worry, Miss Madson, I personally operate the camera, and there will definitely be no mistakes. Okay, pay attention to all departments, the actors are buried, and the scene records..."

Eric suppressed the urge to rub his forehead. Is a little girl really pregnant standing on the roof of the car? It's too unrestrained, although it's basically impossible to make any mistakes when she fell from a two-meter high on a sponge mat that was one meter thick.

But you are a pregnant woman!

But pregnant women!

It's a pregnant woman!

Pregnant woman!

Is this considered child abuse?

While a series of complaints appeared in his heart, Eric couldn't help but shout out loud: "cut!"

“…”

Everyone was stunned. The middle-aged man sitting on the crane arm had already narrowed his eyes and looked at this side, roaring: "Who, haven't started calling any cut yet, don't want to do it anymore, right?"

Standing on the roof of the bus, Virginia, who was ready to hear this voice, turned her head and looked over with some surprise. After seeing Eric, she immediately threw everyone away, walked down the bus roof along the escalator next to her, and ran towards Eric.

"Kapole, let me leave the rest to you," Eric looked at Virginia approaching, said to Kapoor, then took the woman's little hand with a dark face and walked out.
