Love in the Limelight

Chapter 385
“Robb, don’t leave me hanging.” Dale awkwardly chuckled as he swam in his clumsy way towards Robb, complaining out loud,
“I’m really lonely without you around!”
Listening to Dale’s whining, Robb scowled and kicked Dale away with a stretch of his long legs.
How heartless.
While Robb and Dale were enjoying their vacation, Astrid was stuck on a deserted island under the scorching sun, hunting for
herbs.
Parrish and Clyde followed her around like shadows, barraging her with questions. “Astrid, are you sure you know what kind of
poison she’s been hit with? Are you really going to save her?”
Clyde added, “If you can’t pull it off, don’t take the responsibility. If you fail, the netizens will forget all your past efforts and just
slam you.”
“Yeah, and what if there are poisonous bugs or snakes in this forest? What if you get bitten? Let’s go back! Dr. Foster might be
annoying but his medical skills are top–notch. We should let him take Joana back for treatment,” Parrish kept rambling on,
brandishing a stick in his hand.
“Ha, found it, this is the one!” Astrid exclaimed excitedly as she darted over and dug up a grayish herb with her dagger. She
turned to the trio, “See this clearly? Start looking for this, the more the better!”
“Alright.” Parrish was more than willing to help Astrid out.
Astrid took out a small spray bottle from her bag and sprayed everyone with it. “This will keep the poisonous bugs and snakes
away, but still, be careful and don’t stray too far from me.”
“Got it.” Clyde didn’t know what had gotten into him, but he found himself compelled to obey Astrid whenever she spoke.
It was as if she was the leader and he and Parrish were her sidekicks.
Elio had been quiet the whole time, but he was efficient. Before long, he had gathered a large pile of the herbs Astrid had
specified.

By then, Astrid had found several other herbs.
It was sweltering hot, and sweat was pouring down Astrid’s face, but she didn’t stop for a moment.
The netizens felt a mix of emotions upon seeing her so serious.
In the comment section, they wondered, “Do you think Astrid is really a doctor?”
“Stop kidding around. She’s so young, there’s no way she could know everything. It takes years to master such a complex
subject!”
“I get it. The production team must have been bribed to play along with Astrid’s act. Joana is just a guinea pig.”
“Can you guys be less pessimistic?”
“That so–called Dr. Foster also said he isn’t sure he can save her, but if he takes Joana away, will she be saved?”
“Anyway, I believe in Astrid. She wouldn’t have agreed to save Joana if she didn’t think she could.”
The majority of Astrid’s fans chose to believe in her, but most of the other viewers and fans criticized her.
If Astrid hadn’t told Chad and the others not to pay attention to the comments before she left, they might have already used their
hacking skills to shut off the live streaming.
While the netizens could see what Astrid was doing through the live stream, Dr. Foster couldn’t, which made him even more
distrustful of her.
Astrid hadn’t returned after two hours, so he started making sarcastic remarks. “Mr. Maddox, it’s been so long and she still hasn’t
come back. Do you think she ran away because she knew she couldn’t do it?”
