Somehow, Lucas' cold yet handsome face had reappeared in her mind.
Right then, Naomi, who was done with her scene, waved at her. “Ashlyn!”
Her voice was crystal clear, and the smile on her face made her seem like a lively girl.
Moreover, the clothes she was wearing for the character made her seem cheeky and adorable.
Ashlyn pointed at the bottles of water beside her and said, “Come and have a drink.”
Right as Naomi took a step forward, a wave of dizziness struck her.
She halted in her tracks and tried to shake away the dizziness. However, her vision blurred even more, and slowly, she lost focus on the sight in front of her.
She swayed to the side and began falling to the ground.
The moment Jonathan, who was behind her, saw that, he quickly reached out to grab her waist. With a tug, he pulled her into his arms.
“Naomi, what's the matter?”
“I...” Naomi panted. Just as she tried to reply to him, darkness crashed into her, and she passed out.
By then, Ashlyn and Greg had already hurried over to them. “What's the matter?”
“I don't know. She suddenly passed out!” Jonathan said, an anxious look on his face.
A bad feeling settled in the pit of his stomach, and something in the back of his mind told him that her condition was related to the drug Helena had given to her.
But it's already been so long... When we went to the hospital for a checkup, the doctor said that there was a dormant period before the drug took effect. Is it now taking effect?
Ashlyn lowered her eyes and crouched down beside Naomi. She then reached out her fair fingers to gently press down on Naomi's wrist.
Almost everyone was staring at her. It was the first time the members of the film crew saw Ashlyn in her other role as a doctor.
She was serious when she was working, and her demeanor while taking Naomi's pulse somehow convinced every anxious person at the scene to calm down.
A moment later, she uttered, “Send her to the hospital. There's poison in her. It must have taken effect.”
Jonathan's heart sank. So I was right...
