Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

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?]

Astrid finished up and stood, glancing at the wound with a slight smirk. She turned to the camera and

said, "Don't worry, folks. It's nothing serious. That bug's bite isn't all that powerful. Once I catch that

little critter, I'll turn it to ash."

Her fans joked, [Cool with the burning, just don't end up eating it, okay?]

Astrid didn't head straight back, but searched the woods for some medicinal plants that could

counteract the poison. Unfortunately, while there were some useful herbs around, the key ingredients

were missing. Yet, she wasn't worried.

She had her ways to make the real culprit hand over the antidote.

"Astar, we're about to head out. I saved some grub for you!" Parrish jogged over, shoving the food into

Astrid's hands. Then, eager for the latest gossip, he asked, "Astar, does Nathan have a thing for you? Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

He seems so nice to you! Oh, how's the hunt for the herbs going? Need my help?"

Astrid shook her head, replying, "No need, I've got it covered."

"Astar, I've got a weird feeling about Karin," Parrish suddenly said.

"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."
