Chapter 625Stella was surprised.
Then, Marshall explained, "My nerves were all damaged after being burned back then, and the parts of my skin where there areburn scars became very unresponsive. | can't really feel hot, cold, or even pain."novelbin
That was why he did not respond at all even though there was a hole burning in his blazer earlier.Stella gulped. 'Why do | feel like I'm always reminding him of his dark past?
‘| hate myself!’ Stella thought before she said, "I can't really see if you're burned or not. Anyway, | should just apply somepetroleum jelly on it for you, just in case.”
Marshall did not reject Stella.
Stella took the petroleum jelly from the medic and scooped some of it out with her fingers. Then, she looked down and apply it onMarshall's arm carefully.
Her fingertips felt chilly when she touched Marshall's skin, and it made him tremble inwardly, iHis skin was supposed to be unresponsive, yet he felt every movement that Stella's finger made on his arm.He stared at Stella's brows and gulped uncontrollably.
Then, he gazed downward before looking up again. His eyes looked bright." Keegan has probably mistaken Miss Saun for youbecause both of you wore similar color clothes today. | know he cares about you."
Stella paused. She replied without looking at him, "The design of what we're wearing is completely different and our body shapedoesn't look similar at all. How blind does he have to be to make that mistake?’ "It's probably too chaotic just now..."
Stella got a little annoyed. "It's none of my business. | don't need him to save me anyway!"Marshall stopped talking after seeing how upset she looked.
"It's done."
Stella was done applying the petroleum jelly for Marshall after a while.
Marshall looked at his arm, and he was speechless.
Stella applied an extremely thick layer of petroleum jelly all over his arm.
Marshall pursed his lips and said, "There's no need to apply so much of it." "It won't harm you anyway. Who knows if it's going tomake your old scar fade away, right? | read the instructions and it claimed that it could do that.
Marshall pursed his lips again. "Do the scars look ugly?"Stella kept quiet. She suddenly felt like giving herself a slap!"Mr. Moore, that's not what | meant." She quickly tried to explain herself." The box says that it can remove burn scars... | don't
think that they’re ugly. They're kind of beautiful, ptui- mean, no. It's not beautiful. Um... | just want to let you know that | didn't saythat because | thought that your scars looked ugly. | don't think there's anything wrong with having scars. | have them too..."
Marshall suddenly chuckled after seeing how nervous Stella got while trying to explain herself. "| know. | was just joking withyou.
Stella kept quiet.
"Stella, do you know?" Marshall lowered his gaze and said, "You're always very restrained around me, and you would alwaysspeak very politely. | thought we were already friends with each other.”
Stella replied drily, "We are.”
Marshall lifted his eyes and looked at her gently. "Friends don't speak like that with each other. You'd always want to return thefavor twofold after | helped you. That's not how friends should be. You can joke around with me and say whatever you wantaround me. | hope that we can be closer to each other. | don't want you to be just... my client."
And, that was the truth. She would be very restrained around Marshall. She could joke around with Vermont and treat him like agood friend. However, she just could not find herself doing the same with Marshall.
Then, Stella said jokingly, "Maybe it's because you're a lawyer. Anybody would be extra cautious around lawyers because alawyer could send them to jail if the lawyer ever got something against them, right?”
Marshall chuckled. "A lawyer can also send somebody else to jail for you."
