Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio) novel Chapter 515

"Not a big deal. I must've been bitten by some bug in my sleep last night. I'll look around the woods today to find some herbs to take the edge off the poison," Astrid said with a nonchalant expression. But Elio knew all too well that this poison was not going to be so easily remedied.

She was holding back the truth to avoid panic.

The cameraman, overhearing the conversation, chimed in, "Ms. Irvine, what kind of herbs do you need? I can ask the crew to prepare them. We don't want the poison to get worse and affect your health."

Astrid shook her head, "I'm fine for now. I know my limits, but thanks for the offer."

She grabbed her toiletries and headed to the nearby stream to freshen up. Recalling the events of the last night, she tried to pinpoint when she could have been poisoned.

Normally, the cameras would give guests their privacy during such times. But today, the cameraman followed, concerned for Astrid's well-being.

The camera inadvertently captured Astrid washing her face, and the fans were stunned. [Holy cow, this is the first time I've seen a female star wash her face like that.]

[I've only ever seen male actors do that on TV!]

[Astrid's the real deal, a true goddess, not afraid of the HD lens.]

[Hold up, did you see Astrid's arm? What's that about?]

[Whoa, I didn't catch it before. What's up with her hand? That's a long red mark!]

[Could it be from the bug bite?]

"How so?" Astrid raised an eyebrow, "Did you notice something?"

Parrish replied, "She seems to have a thing for your man, but she's also stringing along Clyde and trying to get on my good side. Isn't that strange?"

Astrid was at a loss for words, then she replied, "She's Elio's sister."

"But not by blood!” Parrish retorted, “Let me tell you. Mr. Lampard, impressive and assertive, is not just someone ladies who can't resist him. Lots of guys can't either! Karin has been Mr. Lampard’s sister in name and she's only a few months older than Mr. Lampard. It’s said that she has stayed in the Lampard family for sixteen years and something happened when she was sixteen, so she moved out of the Lampard family home for good, cut all ties. Maybe that's when their relationship took a dive!"

Astrid twitched her mouth slightly, "Enough with the wild guesses. Let's head back before we fall behind."
