Chapter 125
Fortunately, Selene’s reflexes kicked in, allowing her to avoid hitting her head on the ground. However, she paid the price with a twisted ankle, a sacrifice for her safety.
Everyone gasped in shock while Selene gritted her teeth together, as she tried to suppress the pain that shot up from her leg.
Immediately, everyone gathered to help her out. She was taken to the medical bay and a doctor in charge attended to her as quickly as possible.
“She’s so weak,” the director spouted in a low volume so that people around wouldn’t hear him.
He feigned concern by instructing the doctor to provide proper care for Selene and ensure she was treated well.
Due to the accident, the scene couldn’t continue until further notice. Everyone packed up and left.
Meanwhile, Kael couldn’t help but feel a pang of pity for Selene. Despite her efforts to avoid a hard fall, she still ended up with a broken ankle, all because the stunt harness had failed.
He glared at the director who was smoking and chatting with other people. He suddenly felt the urge to walk up to him and give him a punch that would send his fat ass to heaven and down to earth.
But that wasn’t the most important thing at the moment.
He couldn’t understand why he was worried about a stranger, but he ignored his feelings still and walked into the medical bay.
He sighted her through the transparent glass of the door. Her ankle had already been bandaged, but he didn’t fail to notice how tightly her fists were clenched.
Even though Ezekiel didn’t find anything dirty on Selene, he still instructed Kael to keep a close eye on her. If possible, he should befriend her.
Just when he was about to open the door to go in, he saw a lady with white hair swoon past him and open the door. He recognized her to be Selene’s make-up artist.
“It’s a good thing someone is here, I better go,” he told himself. But he didn’t forget to complete one important task.
He walked towards the director, who was still laughing hysterically at a joke, his face flushed red as he struggled to regain composure.
“What’s so funny?” Kael demanded, delivering a hard punch to the director, causing those nearby to gasp in shock. “It’s because of you that Selene has a broken ankle. If you had just hired a stunt double, this accident could have been prevented!” he shouted, landing another punch across the director’s face, who was now starting to see stars.
Kael took a few steps back when they tried to separate him from the director. He had already done what he thought was right, and he didn’t care if an article about him hitting his director was released the next day.
“It was an accident,” the director managed to say despite the dizziness he felt.
Kael gritted his teeth in anger as he glared at the director. He decided not to spend any more time with the director and departed. No one could dare to call the police on him, or else they wanted their throat to be slit.
In the medical bay, Allison gave Selene her phone and she quickly sent a text to Xavier.
“Ms. Selene, are you sure you are okay? Are you thirsty? I could bring you some water,” Allison offered. She had been frightened when she saw Selene falling, she thought she would lose her life, but seeing her alive surprised her.
“I’m fine,” Selene replied with a smile on her face.
Natalie arrived with Selene’s clothes and they quickly helped her change into it.
They kept Selene company until Xavier arrived.
When he barged into the room looking as intimidating as ever, both Allison and Natalie immediately slipped out of the room as if their lives were counting on their escape.
“Are you okay?” Xavier asked Selene with concern laced in his tone.
He’d been so frightened when he read her text, saying she injured her ankle on the set.
“I’m fine p>
“Are you sure? Your ankle looks quite swollen,” he complained. “Where’s the doctor? Shouldn’t he be here checking up on you? Doctor He yelled out.
Selene quickly placed her hand over his mouth to shut him up for once.
“I’m fine. The doctor has already checked up on me. He said it was normal for my ankle to swell up like this p>
Xavier stared at her ankle.
“Who did this to you?” He questioned.
Selene flinched slightly at his tone. He sounded like he was going to murder whoever it was that’d hurt her.
“It was an accident,” she mumbled. “Although it could have been prevented if the director had hired a stunt double. I told them to do so, but he refused, saying the actors must do their stunts,” she narrated.
As if on cue, the director entered the room, pretending to act concerned about what had happened to Selene.
“Ms. Selene, I just wanted to p>
The poor director didn’t get the chance to complete his sentence when he felt his face getting slammed against the wall of the room.
Xavier had used so much force the walls cracked.
The director whose head was kissing the wall immediately regretted entering the room. He’d just recovered from Kael’s punches when he saw Xavier entering the medical bay.
Due to the rumors, he concluded Xavier was there to look for Selene, so he prepared himself to act like a caring director even though he didn’t want to.
But he didn’t expect to get his face slammed on the wall so hard that his skull nearly broke.
“When she asked for a stunt double, why didn’t you call for one?” Xavier questioned the director who was already starting to tremble. Both his eyes and body shook in fear.
“I—I didn’t know t—that this would h—happen,” he managed to respond although he stuttered. He needed to save himself from Xavier. He could already feel the bloodthirsty emitting from the latter. His life was in danger.
Selene, who had been watching the scene, was shocked by Xavier’s strength, but she nearly lost her life due to the director’s carelessness. So, she didn’t bother to meddle. The director deserved the beating he was getting right now.
