According to Hong Kong media, the 26-year old actress came to the filming location feeling unwell. However, her condition seems to have been aggravated by the hot weather. The actress reportedly broke into a cold sweat and felt dizzy.

When her co-stars Joe Ma and Kate Tsui noticed Tracy's condition, they took her to the service van in order to rest. Other than Kate, who stayed with Tracy, the makeup crew also took care of her, wiping her sweat and continuously fanning her.

Joe Ma, on the other hand, volunteered to have his scenes filmed first in order to give the actress some time to recuperate from her condition.

Tracy's condition did not improve throughout the day, so the producer decided to end filming, letting everyone off earlier than usual.

Tracy, who has now recovered from her temporary illness, expressed that she felt very touched at how the crew and her co-stars expressed their concern for her, stating that they have been very considerate about her situation.

As for the drama, Tracy plays the role of Kate's younger sister. In the scene they were filming, Joe is supposed to help her with her car which had broken down. Kate, on the other hand, who plays the role of a conservative woman, enters the scene to kick the actor on the shin, thinking that he was harassing Tracy's character.

It looks like Kate's sisterly affection towards Tracy isn't just limited on cam as she took care of the latter when she wasn't feeling too well.
