Chapter 1136hapter 1136 Dr. Quirk watched as Weston‘s figure receded into the distance. He wiped the blood smear
off the corner of his mouth and said nothing.
As he struggled up to his feet, Joan rushed over to his side, asking, “Are you alright, Dr. Quirk? Should I
call a doctor?”
“No,” Dr. Quirk shook his head and told her, “I‘m not sure if I‘ve persuaded him just now, but if he still
hasn‘t changed his mind after this, then I‘m really out of ideas
...”
After speaking, he let out a heavy sigh.
Joan was very concerned too.
“Who else in this world could knock some sense into him now?” she asked.
Meanwhile, inside the room, Weston placed Stella on the bed and covered her under a blanket. Then, he
leaned down and gazed intensely at her.
He was in a hurry just now, and her hair had become a little messy. Thus, he reached out his hand and
smoothed the wild strands of hair on her head.
It a rough sensation through his fingertips and uddenly realized that Stella‘s hair was getting drier and
drier. No matter how much essential oil of the highest quality he used, he simply couldn‘t restore it to its
original luster.
Even Stella‘s skin was gradually drying up. No matter how many methods he tried, there was no way he
could maintain her appearance when she was alive.
The air–conditioning in Stardust Mansion had been turned to the maximum lately. Joan even had to wear
her winter coat inside just to keep warm.
Yet it seemed as if Weston couldn‘t feel the chill. He stroked Stella‘s face and asked her in an extremely
raspy voice, “Is what Dr. Quirk said true? All you‘ve always wanted was to leave me? And even after
your death, you still refuse to leave behind any memories…?”

He pressed her hand against his face while rubbing her palm, but he could no longer feel any warmth
from her. Instead, there was only icy coldness on her skin.

His eyes suddenly turned red, and he buried his face in the palm of her hand,
Her hand was so small that it felt like he could break it without effort.
“You‘re not willing to stay with me even after death...” “Stella, how can you be so cruel...?”
Bradley Lane‘s film was released the next day.
With one scandal after another plaguing the film, it was released quietly with little to no publicity in the
beginning. Even Guinevere Cohen, the star of the film, paid little attention to it. Feeling it was not worth
her time, she was already in talks with new investors , with plans to shoot a new palace drama.
Over the years, Guinevere had been known for her strong heroine roles, but as the audience was
starting to get sick of seeing her portraying similar characters over and over again, she had to transform
herself in the hopes of garnering another grand award.
Palace dramas were nothing new, though; it would be hard for such flicks to stand out among the rest.
This was why a well–written script was absolutely paramount.
But what took Guinevere entirely by surprise was that not long after the film was released, it suddenly
gained traction and even garnered a good reputation
It had surprisingly done very well for a film that did not have much marketing behind it. Many who
watched the – premiere were so impressed they began to recommend it,
and heap praises on it.
