Chapter 555
The scene was explosive and intense.
On set, Austin completed a dangerous explosion scene in one take. Many in the industry fear the risks and injuries involved, so they often opt for stunt doubles.
But Austin rarely used a stunt double and tackled the dangerous scenes himself.
This was Natalie’s first time witnessing such a perilous stunt up close. She stood by and held her breath, and her heart pounded uncontrollably.
The scenes were terrifying. Seeing it in person was even more shocking.
After the director called cut, Natalie immediately rushed over to Austin. With concern, she
asked, “Did you get hurt?”
The special effects makeup made it hard to tell if he was bleeding or injured. Austin smiled reassuringly. “I’m fine, no injuries. Don’t worry.”
Hank approached with a serious expression. “Did you injure your leg? Let’s get you to the
car and check it out.”
Hank had known Austin for many years and had been together almost daily. Hence, he could spot an injury instantly, while others might fail to notice.
Austin glanced at Hank with a wry smile. He was surprised that Hank could notice it at first glance.
Then, he glanced at Natalie, whose face had gone pale. “It’s probably just a scraped knee! A bit of iodine for disinfecting will do.”
“Should we go to the hospital? The scene is over, and there’s no more filming today until the afternoon. We have time,” Natalie said quickly.
As a woman, she couldn’t assist Austin in the car, and she still didn’t know the full extent of his injury.
Natalie was deeply concerned about Austin’s injury as an assistant and a fan.
“It’s not that serious, don’t worry,” Austin said in his gentlest tone.
It was hard to tell from his expression that he was injured. Natalie nodded in relief.
Hank noticed Natalie’s worried glance and then boarded the car. Austin followed closely behind.
Natalie noticed that Austin seemed to favor his left leg when he got into the car. It looked like the injury was on his right leg.
Inside the car, Hank examined Austin’s bloodied knee with a grim expression. “You injured this badly and still saying you’re fine? Austin, what’s going on with you and Natalie?”
2/2
Hank was no stranger to seeing this level of injury.
The first aid kit in the car was professional–grade.
Hank had learned from medical professionals how to handle such wounds. He treated Austin quickly and efficiently.
However, it must have been quite painful as Austin’s brow furrowed in discomfort.
“She’s going through a divorce with Jeremy. Even if I had feelings for her, it would be after she’s officially divorced,” Austin‘ explained.
Hank’s hands paused, his face filled with shock. He finally blurted out, “Damn it! I knew my instincts were right. She never mentioned a divorce. How did you find out?”
“She’s been different these past few days. She hasn’t been in touch with Jeremy and hasn’t returned to the Hughes Residence. Instead, she’s staying in an apartment. It’s obvious what’s happening,” Austin said. He knew Natalie’s situation well.

The readers' comments on the novel: My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul
Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
