Chapter 25 Fracture

Book:Pursue Ex-husband after Rebirth Published:2024-5-1

After a dozen of hours’ flight, the plane landed in Country B.
They flew across the biggest ocean in the world.
The crew arranged a sea view villa for Selina, where also equipped with several Chinese maids. Both Selina and Zoe were stunned.
“No wonder the crew is going to film an international movie. I just expect to live in the hotel.”
Zoe walked around and kept praising.
It was not the first time that Selina had been abroad, but it was the most luxurious one.
“Look at that, perhaps we need to live here for a life time…” Zoe murmured to herself.
“No. I won’t keep myself here for too long.”
Selina knew her own faith never belonged here.
She had been abroad to run away from trouble in her previous life, but this time she came to film as the leading role.
In her previous life, she also had a chance to film a role because of Darren’s investment. However, she was the only one in the crew that needed dubbing after filming because of her poor foreign language ability, which made her a big joke.
So she had worked hard to study foreign language for two years.
When Selina saw the food and drinks in the fridge were all bought from the domestic market, she suddenly realized something.
“Zoe, do you know why they select me to be the female leading role”
Selina suddenly realized that it was Darren offered her the chance.
Actually, in her previous life, Darren didn’t like her to be a celebrity. So he barely offered her any privilege except for that film which made her a joke.
However, Selina still could not figure out why Darren tried so hard to make her a chance to develop her career abroad.
“Well, the producer contacted me with the role. And I was wondering if it was your dad that gave you this chance.”
“Do you think my dad could be powerful enough to do so”
Though the Reed Family was also a privileged one, it was still too hard to make it. At the thought of that, Zoe shook her head. But she suddenly exclaimed after thinking about it for a while, “It was Darren”
“Yes.”
“Wait a second. If he wants to make you a popular celebrity, he could just offer you the endorsement deal of his company Why did he choose to send you abroad”
“I don’t know either.”
They were going to film a blockbuster so there would be a lot for both actors and actress to learn. According to the rules here, there would be a train for all roles, which would last for a month.
Since it was the first time to hire an Asian actress to be the female leading role, Selina had attracted huge attention from the public, including the social media in the domestic market.
“Eric, she was your ex-girlfriend, right How did she get such a big role”
Eric, who was exercising, wore a gloomy face. He also had a lot of exciting opportunity during those days. However, he always encountered all kinds of bad lucks when filming.
What was worse, he was informed that his father failed in business and now his family was facing the risk of bankruptcy.
But Eric had never expected that Darren would fall in love with that stupid woman named Selina.
And Darren even tried all means to obstruct his career.
Eric was determined to spend some effort on her again.
Then he heard the ringtone. When he picked up his phone, he noticed it was Cecilia Reed.
Eric frowned and he hesitated for a while. But he still chose to ignore the call from Cecilia.
As time went by, the shoot had started for more than a month.
The foreign crew’s required strict rules. Selina had been tensed to show her best state.
She was required to jump out of a height from the tenth floor for the scene. Though she was tied with wire work, everyone present was quite nervous.
“Action!”
Selina took a deep breath and jumped out of the building.
Suddenly, she felt the force on her back loosened. Her heart was overwhelmed with horror.
“Watch out!”
The wire on her back broke, she fell down immediately. Fortunately, she fell on air cushion but she still fainted out of fear.
“Call the ambulance!”
Everyone was in panic when witnessing the accident. The producer, Wilson, rushed to the director Robert’s side with his pale face, “What should we do Should we inform Mr. Auton”
“Inform Mr. Auton immediately!”
When Selina woke up, she found her own leg was wrapped with plaster and gauze.
She stared at the ceiling blankly.
“How do you feel” Zoe asked.
“What happened”
“You broke your shin and it caused a cerebral concussion. But you are lucky to survive from such a height.” Zoe rolled her eyes at her and handed her a bottle of soup.
“Thank you.”
“Why did you still insist on filming the scene on your own even they told you they had the stand-in for you You are such a fool!”
After the doctor checked her for a while, both the producer and director came to visit her.
Director Robert handed a bunch of flowers to Zoe and greeted Selina, “God bless you.”
“I am fine. But I am worried if I will retard the film.”
“Oh, Miss Reed, please take care of yourself. You can film your scene at the final part of the shoot. Your safety should be the top priority.”
Wilson came forward and said gently, “I have sent people to check all equipment and I guarantee that no accident will happen again.”
“Thank you, Mr. Wilson.”
They left after staying for a while to ease her worry. After all, Selina was still weak and she needed to rest.
When everyone left, Zoe said, “You don’t look like a girl who had just been abroad for the first time. Perhaps you have been here once or you are born to be an actress.”
Selina did not reply but simply smile.
“Miss Reed, I need to bring you to have a physical examination.”
The nurse walked in and helped Selina on wheelchair.
When they passed by a corner, Selina noticed a familiar figure suddenly.
“Stop!” Selina exclaimed.
“What’s wrong”
“I saw Darren.”
Although she only saw him for a short instant, she was sure that she would mistake it.
Selina tried to stand up, but the pain from her waist made her face turn pale.
“Come on, be nice to yourself, okay Perhaps it was just an illusion.” Zoe stopped her from standing up.
“No! It is not illusion.”
“It is illusion! How could it be possible that Darren appeared here! Think about it!” Zoe shouted.
Selina sat on the wheelchair with upset, and then she was taken away.
In the hall, Darren was standing near the gate, with gloomy aura, “You even failed such a trifle. It seems that I have to reconsider whether I should invest your company.”
“I am so sorry for what happen. But Mr. Auton, I can promise you that no accident would happen again from now on.” A foreign old man apologized with a nervous smile.
“I want zero accident instead of compensation after accident!”
In a distance from the hospital, there parked a taxi. And a handsome got off and strode towards the gate.
“Eric…”
Darren’s face turned cold. He squinted at him, “Murray, find out what Eric is up to.”
Eric rushed in and asked a nurse a few questions. Darren hid himself behind a plant.
He noticed that Eric was here to meet Selina.
“Boss, Eric just got the news that Miss Selina got injured yesterday. And then he booked the earliest flight to get here.”
But the most interesting thing was that Eric wasn’t aware that he bumped into the wrong person today.
Darren stared at Eric, and stressed every word coldly, “I need to stay today.”
