Chapter 63 Omnipotent but Modest
When Natalie gripped the steering wheel and pursed her lips into a straight line, her mind was racing at
high speed to judge the current situation.
If she immediately turned on the emergency braking system to stop the car, it would take 1.7 to 2
seconds. But it did not include the time she would spend slamming the brakes. Sudden braking at a
speed of 120 mph would cause a sideslip. And according to the speed of the truck, it would crash into
their car in 3 seconds.
So, Natalie turned the steering wheel to the right without hesitation and tightly pressed her right foot on
the accelerator, not daring to let go in the slightest.
Maggie was the heroine of this novel. Please have some Character Shield!
Three seconds later, the truck passed behind them and blocked the car following them.
Maggie almost vomited, and her head banged heavily on the car window. When she looked up, she
saw another car coming over and shouted, "Be careful!"
Natalie let go of the accelerator, lightly tapped the brakes to evade it, and turned the steering wheel.
Then, their car merged into the traffic flow of the rush hour.
It was not until then did she dare to relax a little. She had been too nervous, so her brain was rapidly
secreting dopamine, and her forehead was beaded with sweat.
So, she took out a tissue to wipe off her sweat and said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay now. We have
gotten rid of that car."
Maggie's pupils dilated when she leaned back in the passenger seat and kept holding on to the
armrest. After a while, she said, "Are you sure?"
Then, she looked back and saw the sun was setting. The evening glow dyed the sky crimson like the
rouge on a girl's face. Now, she felt like a lucky survivor from a holocaust.
Three seconds later, she screamed in the passenger seat like a groundhog.
Natalie resisted the urge to roll her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
Maggie replied loudly, "I was so scared. I thought the truck would crash into our car. I didn't expect we
could survive. You are amazing!"
Natalie smiled, "Am I cool?"
"Yes!" She gave Natalie a thumbs up with an admiring face.
If she hadn't met Nat, she would have gotten into big trouble. Fortunately, Nat had saved her.
Natalie thought, "I am not only being the villain but also doing what the hero should do."
Maggie asked in confusion, "Why are you so good at driving? I've never seen you drive before."
"I'm modest, so I don't like to show off. But I'm omnipotent!"
Maggie was speechless because she had not expected her to praise herself like this.
After calming down, Natalie asked, "Who have you offended recently?"
Maggie had never revealed her relationship with the Ramsey family in the entertainment circle because
she wanted to succeed with her efforts. But sometimes, people could not succeed no matter how hard
they worked.
She replied sullenly, "I don't know!"
Hearing this, Natalie looked sideways at her with sharpness in her eyes.
Maggie leaned back in the passenger seat and said, "My drama has been launched recently, and many
people are scolding and threatening me in various places every day. Maybe that man is an anti-fan?"
Natalie shook her head and sighed, "The man said someone hired him to teach you a lesson, right?"
While driving, she raised one hand, circled it near her ear, and continued, "Think about it carefully.
Maybe some of your peers in the entertainment circle are jealous of your role?"
Maggie nodded thoughtfully.
Suddenly, she raised her head and asked, "Are you injured?"
When Natalie bowed her head, she saw her calf bleeding profusely.
Under the high nervousness, she had forgotten about the pain just now.
Looking at the wound worriedly, Maggie said with a deep frown, "Let's go to the hospital!"
"No need!" Natalie refused and asked, "What if you are photographed?"
"But you..."
"How far is your home? Do you have a first-aid kit?"
"Yes, I have one. But my home is twenty minutes drive away."
Natalie pulled over and said, "Let's go to your place. You will drive."
Then, she got out of the car, sat in the spacious back seat, took a pair of scissors out of the storage,
and cut off a piece of fabric from her pants, intending to tie it on her calf to stop the bleeding. Anyway,
the trousers had been damaged by the man.
Maggie's apartment was in Grande Garden where a lot of celebrities lived. Every day, many people
went there to take pictures.
After parking the car in the underground parking lot, Maggie helped Natalie out of the car and asked,
"Nat, can you walk?"
"No problem."
"The elevator is over there." Maggie carefully held her arm and asked, "Should I send for a doctor?"
Natalie pursed her lips and then replied, "No need. I'll handle it myself!"
Seeing her so firm, Maggie didn't know how to persuade her.
The elevator went directly to the apartment. After entering Maggie's apartment, Natalie sat on the sofa
and examined the wound.
Fortunately, she had quickly stepped aside. The wound was not big, so there was no need to suture it.
She just needed to stop the bleeding. But it would hurt for a while.
"I need medicinal alcohol, cotton balls, povidone-iodine, tweezers, bandages, and gauze." Natalie
asked, "Do you have antibiotic ointment?"
Hearing this, Maggie directly moved the first-aid kit over. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Natalie disinfected her hands with alcohol pads, soaked the cotton balls in povidone-iodine, and then
cleaned the wound.
As soon as the cotton balls touched the wound, she felt a burning sensation and gasped in pain.
Maggie hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, Nat. You would not have been injured if I had not bumped into
you."
Natalie blurted out, "It's okay. I volunteered to help you."
After finished speaking, she felt something wrong because it sounded like a hero's line.
Maggie stood aside and watched her calmly deal with the wound. It must hurt very much, but Natalie
didn't even frown. So, admiration suddenly arose in Maggie's heart.
What a strong woman!
"How are you going to deal with this matter?" Natalie raised her head and asked while treating the
wound, "Will you leave it to your agent?"
"Yeah!" Maggie nodded, "I'll talk to her later."
"She will ask you to pretend nothing happened," Natalie said with a frown after recalling the plot of the
novel.
Now, Maggie's agent was still an extremely unreliable woman.
Maggie wanted to succeed in the entertainment industry with her efforts, so few outsiders knew she
was the princess of the Ramsey family.
"Who has competed with you for the role in this drama?"
"Stella Oliver!"
Natalie had a little impression of this name. In the novel, she was a villain who won some acting
awards. She was good at acting and hypocritical. And she was Maggie's good friend in the early stage.
"Guard against her."
"Ms. Oliver is gentle and kind. She wouldn't do such a thing to harm me," Maggie said.
Natalie fell silent, but anger was burning in her heart. However, she resisted the urge to scold Maggie
and decided to forget it.
Now, Stella hadn't shown her true colors yet, so she was a kind person in Maggie's eyes.
"Come here. Help me hold the gauze." Natalie instructed, "Press the edges. Don't put your whole hand
on it. Otherwise, I cannot bandage the wound."
Maggie's eyes suddenly turned red.
Natalie had rolled up her loose pants to her thighs, so Maggie saw the red spots like needle holes from
her knees to her thighs at a glance when walking over. So, she asked, "Nat, what's wrong with your
legs? Why are there so many red spots?"
