Chapter 41 The Frightened Horse
“Go and save her, why are you all standing there?” Mel was the first to return to his senses and shouted loudly.
Adam was closest to Eva and reached out to tug her, but by now the horse had gone completely berserk and was desperately trying to throw Eva off.
Eva’s strength alone could not control the spooked horse, and the rest of the crew had absolutely no way to get to her.
The whole crew was in chaos, and the young girl who had just been pushed away by Eva was in a state of fear, looking at Eva who was in danger on the horse, her tears were falling down.
A minute passed as if it were a century long, and Eva eventually failed to hold on and was thrown off by the horse, but the horse did not run further into the crowd and ran off towards the woods.
Adam reached out in time to catch the falling Eva and stumbled before he could stand still.
Gemma, Mel and Ethan rushed around and asked Eva, “Are you oaky? Did you get hurt?”
Mel said angrily, “Just duck out of the way, why did you get on the horse? There is horse trainer!” But there was a strong worry in his eyes.
“I’m fine.” Eva said with a slightly weak voice.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Fine? Look at your hand.” Adam said helplessly as he placed Eva on the stool.
Having been reminded by him, she felt a vague pain in her palm, and when she lifted her palm, surprised to see a handful of blood.
“Hurry up and get the medical kit!” The crew had war scenes, so they kept doctors and medical kits on hand at all times, for fear that something might happen to these big stars.
Eva wanted to refuse, but the words simply could not come out, the people around her chattered and blocked all her words.
In fact, Eva didn’t care about this small injury, she had suffered a more serious injury than this in Italy, and had almost died, but now she was still alive and well.
Compared to the gunfire, this small injury was really nothing, but the people around her all looked at her as if she had a terminal illness, she could only silently swallow the words of refusal.
And the girl who had just been saved by Eva, at this moment, no matter how much the staff urged her, stood at the periphery of the crowd looking at Eva’s hand, not leaving a step.
Eva was amused seeing that her hand had been wrapped into a dumpling by the crew, but more than that, she was warm and touched.
This feeling of being cared for and loved had not been felt for a long time.
Because of an unexpected situation, Eva’s scene had to be temporarily stopped, and Director Mel even came to instruct her to go back early.
Eva knew that she was not fit to continue filming in her current state, so she thanked Mel with great apologies and went back first.
Mel grew to like Eva even more, and as he watched Eva’s leaving figure, his eyes were filled with appreciation.
Mel was a man who cherished talented people, and after spending some time with her, he was impressed by Eva’s acting skills, and as she was not arrogant, and having witnessed her sacrificing her life to save others, he was even more impressed.
Here, as soon as Eva entered the door, a soft thing came up on her lap, and when she looked down, it was William who greeted her. She knelt down and hugged the little boy and gave him a kiss.
William was painting upstairs. When he heard the car’s sound, he looked down to find that it was Eva’s car, immediately dropping his brush and running downstairs impatiently.
William was surprised that Eva came back so early today, and played on the sofa with Eva, and in the middle of the play, he found that Eva’s hand wrapped like a dumpling, and heartily took her hand and stared at it with tears in his eyes.
Eva immediately panicked, “I am fine, it doesn’t hurt at all, it will be fine tomorrow, good boy, don’t cry.”
With that, she took William in her arms and waved her injured hand deliberately.
In the face of William’s tears, Eva was still defenseless.
As soon as Caleb entered the door, he saw Eva’s wrapped hand waving in the air, his eyes flashed with fluctuations, his footsteps paused, his face was terribly gloomy, his eyes coldly staring at that hand.
How did she get hurt? And it looked so serious.
When Caleb approached, Eva suddenly felt her wrist being grabbed by a warm and strong hand, reflexively trying to struggle, but after attempts, it was completely useless. Looking at the slender fingers on her wrist, she was stunned.
“Ouch, it hurts, it hurts.” Eva felt that Caleb’s strength not only did not weaken, but even got harder.
William, who was sitting next to him, watched Eva scream out in pain and hugged Eva’s leg in a hurry, raising his eyes to glare at his father, accusing him of his evil deeds.
Caleb was pulled back to his senses by Eva’s voice, his hands loosened their strength and his voice was cold as he asked the woman shrinking on the sofa, “What’s going on?”
“It’s nothing, just that I accidentally I got scratched on the set.” Eva didn’t know why, but when she felt the low air pressure of the big boss, she spoke softly. It was obvious that she was the one who was injured, but now she looked like the murderer was being questioned.
“From tomorrow onwards, you are not allowed to go back to the set, stay home and recuperate.” Caleb ordered as he removed the gauze from Eva’s hand.
He had to see for himself if her hand was badly injured before he could rest assured.
Eva, who was still dumbfounded, immediately got irritable, almost jumping up from the sofa, but was held down by Caleb.
“What? Not going to the set? Why? I haven’t finished filming my scene yet!” Eva had thought that she had already delayed the whole crew’s progress today because of herself, and this person still wouldn’t let her go to the set tomorrow.
“I think I’ve already made it clear.” Caleb was already re-dressing and bandaging Eva.
“Mr. Livingstone, as you can see, this injury is not serious, there is absolutely no need to recuperate at home.” Eva did not want to affect the whole crew because of herself, after all, she was new, in case she displeases the director… everyone knew that Mr. Pommer hated those pretentious actors the most and would scold them without mercy.
“I will ask Luke to give a word to Mr. Pommer.”
“Don’t bother, because I’ll be going there tomorrow.” As soon as Caleb’s words fell, Eva immediately retorted.
“Mr. Livingstone, I’m just a minor actress, I still have to support myself, so don’t bother with my affairs.” Eva got up angrily and went straight upstairs.
Caleb was helpless as he watched Eva’s exasperated look, obviously her hand was injured, but she did not take care of herself.
William sat on the couch, still angry that his dad had upset Eva.
Caleb had a headache for the two ignored him. He sat down helplessly and began to reason with his little boy.
