Chapter 894

“They haven’t slept in two nights. The men I sent will make them better men. They won’t be able to perform in front of a pretty girl when he’s finished with them.”

Aiken took two puffs of his cigarette. “It’s still not enough.”

“I know what to do. Don’t worry, Mr. Parkinson. How dare they bully Ms. Parkinson! They’ll be lucky to survive this!”

“Alright.”

He pocketed his phone. Aiken watched the cars and people near the hospital, taking several more drags before extinguishing his cigarette. As he walked back, a text arrived with an attached document. It read: “Mrs. Martin Senior set Skylar up with Joe. They’re not in love. Skylar moved out for a day, a while ago. They probably intend to divorce. Joe likes Vera.”

Aiken stared at the words for a long time.

In Fachington, an intense shooting scene concluded. Natalie rushed to Austin, noticing a wound on his neck.

“Mr. Powell, you’re hurt!”

Austin touched it, his fingers coming away bloody. It wasn’t much; he felt a slight sting. His expression remained unchanged. “It’s just a superficial wound. Nothing much.”

He had a half-hour break before his next scene. Austin had never worried about such wounds, but Natalie considered it serious.

“I’ll get the medical kit to disinfect it. If it’s not treated properly, it might scar.”

Natalie knew Austin; a hardworking actor with great respect for his profession. He’d gone straight to set after arriving in Fachington. Days had passed without a break.

Minutes later, Natalie cleaned his wound meticulously with iodine. Hank arrived to find this scene. Natalie disinfected the wound thoroughly as Austin gazed at her warmly. His affection for Natalie was evident in his eyes, perhaps amplified by his overseas location and foreign colleagues.

Natalie remained somewhat unresponsive to his advances. She might have been listening to Jeremy, but she wasn't paying attention to other men.

“I brought some food from home. Let’s eat.”

Natalie’s eyes lit up. “Clusian food? That’s great! I can finally have a good meal!” She’d initially enjoyed local delicacies, but they’d lost their appeal.

“Ha! You’ve been here a few days and you’ve already slimmed down. Come, let’s eat.” Hank chuckled. She was quite the food connoisseur.

Austin said, “After today’s scene, I’m done filming. We can go to my mansion. There’ll be Clusian food there.”

“Really? That’s awesome! I’m tearing up!” Natalie wasn't exaggerating; homesickness threatened tears.
