Picking up his cup, Sunny chuckled, “I raised Cam as a son for more than 20 years. She had a fiery
temper before I sent her to the military school.”
Nick did not say anything.
After a long while, Sunny looked at him and continued. “Nick, although you’re my disciple, I’ve long
treated you as my son. My wife passed away early, and now Cam is married. I think I’ve already lived my
life to the fullest. Now, I’ll just have to wait until death comes and claims me.”
Nick’s pupils flickered, and he said, “You are in good health and are still far from the end of your life.”
Sunny chuckled. “I still have about 20 to 30 years left, but it’ll come sooner or later.”
Nick took a sip of tea.
“When are you getting yourself a wife, then?”
Nick froze for a moment when he heard the question. However, he soon regained his.composure and
replied, “It isn’t the right time yet. I’ll just go with the flow and wait for the right person to show up.”
Sunny drank the tea and said, “You’re right. You don’t know when the right person will appear, but they’ll
eventually appear anyway.”
Four months later…
The Honorary Gold Award Film Festival was held in Asperia. There were plenty of stars and celebrities
sitting in the audience seats.James, Hannah, and Howard sat together. The rest of the celebrities and actors had their own
designated seats while Amy sat beside them.
The host stood on the stage and read out loud, “The following representative works have been
shortlisted for the Honorary Gold Award Film Festival, The Twins, Back to 1980, You’re My Spring, Battle
at the Murray Sea…”
After the host finished reading the list of works, he paused for a few seconds before continuing with a
smile on his face. “And The Fog, the major hit this year. First of all, congratulations to all the winners!”
A round of applause rang from the audience seats.
Hannah went closer to James and said, “If you still didn’t get the award after participating in this movie,
Daise and Mr. Johnson would be so disappointed.”
James clicked his tongue and said, “It’s none of your business, right?”
She snorted. “I’m just caring about you.”
After that, the winning director was announced, and as expected, Shannon got the honorary award for
best director with The Fog.
Shannon got on the stage to receive the award and delivered his speech. “Thank you to all of you who
are here, all of the guests, and the actors I worked with on The Fog. All of you are the best!
“Without you, I wouldn’t be able to stand here. Of course, I’d like to thank my production team and two
other people, both of whom are familiar to you, Ms. Vanderbilt and Mr. Knowles.
“When we were shooting in Coralia, we encountered a blizzard and were left in the snow because our
car broke down. It was Daisie and Mr. Knowles who gave their car to the production team so they could
evacuate with their equipment while they stayed with us through the blizzard.”Everyone in the audience’s seats fell silent.
Shannon gripped his trophy tightly and continued. “Although we faced a lot of problems during the
shooting, we still made it in the end and were able to get such a positive response from everyone. This
isn’t my own effort but the joint effort of all the crew members and cast. I would like to thank everyone for
that.”
After he finished speaking, he made a bow at the audience, and a thunderous round of applause
erupted. After the other director awards were announced, it was time for the actor awards. There were
more than ten nominated actors. Some of them were veteran actors, while others were experienced
actors. Even Howard and Daisie, who couldn’t attend the festival because of her pregnancy, were
nominated.
The host flipped to the last page and said, “Seems like we still have one more winner, and this is
surprising. This nominee will receive an award for the first time. He’s able to get approval from the public
for his first movie, so I’m sure he must’ve put in a lot of effort.”
