Stella was surprised.
Then, Marshall explained, "My nerves were all damaged after being burned back then, and the parts of
my skin where there are burn scars became very unresponsive. I can't really feel hot, cold, or even
pain."
That was why he did not respond at all even though there was a hole burning in his blazer earlier.
Stella gulped. 'Why do I feel like I'm always reminding him of his dark past?
'I hate myself!' Stella thought before she said, "I can't really see if you're burned or not. Anyway, I
should just apply some petroleum 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 on Marshall's arm carefully.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer fingertips felt chilly when she touched Marshall's skin, and it made him tremble inwardly, i
His 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 you because both of you wore similar color clothes today. I 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 shape doesn'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. I 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 to make your old scar fade away, right? I 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 I meant." She quickly tried to explain herself." The box says that it can
remove burn scars... I don't think that they’re ugly. They're kind of beautiful, ptui-l mean, no. It's not
beautiful. Um... I just want to let you know that I didn't say that because I thought that your scars looked
ugly. I don't think there's anything wrong with having scars. I have them too..."
Marshall suddenly chuckled after seeing how nervous Stella got while trying to explain herself. "I know.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI was just joking with you."
Stella kept quiet.
"Stella, do you know?" Marshall lowered his gaze and said, "You're always very restrained around me,
and you would always speak very politely. I 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 the favor twofold after I helped you. That's not how friends should be. You can
joke around with me and say whatever you want around me. I hope that we can be closer to each
other. I 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 a good 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 a lawyer 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."
