NovelAppChapter 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 twitnessing 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.

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.

"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 ret med 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. Hank grimaced. "You're asking for trouble. So many female celebrities are in the industry, yet you are interested in Natalie. It's like you're competing with Jeremy for her.
"I don't think her divorce will be smooth. Even though Jeremy was in the car that day, I could see his possessiveness. He won't let go easily."
For over a decade, everything had been smooth sailing. But now, out of the blue, this previously easygoing man had beca major headache. This rebellion was nothing short of a disaster. Austin's eyes darkened, and he remained silent.
Meanwhile, Natalie stood outside the car. She glanced at the time. 20 minutes had passed, and Austin and Hank still hadn't cout. This indicated Austin's injury was likely serious.
Just then, she noticed a familiar figure standing not far away. She stared expressionlessly at the person standing not far away. The sense of el humiliation she had deliberately ignored in recent days crushing back. Natalie raised her voice slightly toward the car. She said, "Mr. Powell, I need to take a half-hour break for spersonal matters." After a brief pause, Austin's voice cfrom inside the car. He granted permission, saying, "Okay." With Austin's approval, Natalie walked toward the figure.
