Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2460

"What's going on with the rain?"

Polley had noticed something was off. As she hurried over, the surrounding crew members looked equally astonished and uneasy.

Just then, a figure emerged through the curtain of rain. His deep, calm voice rang clear even in the downpour. "Rainwater is filthy. If a wound stays soaked for too long, it can easily be infected. An actor's physical well-being should be considered even during filming."

Olivia snapped her head around and saw Skylar walking toward her with an umbrella. Rain splashed mud around him with each step, yet he remained spotless as if the umbrella had created an untouched space around him.

Through the mist and rain, his figure grew clearer until he stood right in front of her. "Sorry for interrupting your work."

He spoke in such a serious tone, and for some reason, Olivia felt her nose sting. She wanted to say something, but for fear of giving herself away, she quickly turned her head to avoid looking at him.

Skylar glanced down at the scraped wounds on her palm with a solemn expression.

Polley had been on the verge of losing her temper from the sudden disruption. But when she noticed who it was, her anger was forcibly suppressed.

She was Shannon's fan, not because of Sixth Sense but because she'd once witnessed Shannon and other mystic masters risking their lives for Crisea. That was how she'd come to love Shannon.

For some reason, she held reverence for mystic masters sharing the same dedication like Skylar.

"Skylar, what brings you here?" she asked, looking at Skylar before turning to Olivia, who now seemed to be sulking.

As a director who'd worked on countless romance dramas, she immediately sensed that the two had an unusual relationship.

In a flash, it all made sense where Olivia's explosive performances since returning to the set came from.

Meeting Polley's sharp, knowing gaze, Skylar's composed expression stiffened slightly. Still, he braced himself to say, "I'm sorry. Could I have five minutes? I'll leave right after."

After realizing they were blocked, most people would let it go without making a scene. But he just had to drag it out into the open and make it a thing!

Skylar wanted to argue with her and explain himself thoroughly, but he'd promised Polley five minutes. Seeing that she remained silent, he reached out to take her hand.

Her rain-soaked, ice-cold hand was suddenly warmed by his touch. Olivia flinched and instinctively tried to pull back.

He hesitated briefly but still held on and pulled it closer. "I just want to treat your wound," he murmured in a deep voice.

He never intended to disrupt her work. The first time he saw her on set during a shoot, she was completely different from any version of her he'd known. He admired her professionalism and hadn't meant to interrupt her.

But when he saw her doing a rain scene with an untreated injury, he couldn't hold back from interfering. And now that he'd stepped in, he would see it through. That was his principle.

He gently took her hand to reveal her soft palm lined with cuts and scrapes. Though someone had cleaned them and applied medicine, the rain had washed away the treatment and soaked the wound.
