The waiter and chef were both stunned and didn't expect this to happen.
Especially the man who was holding the pot. Looking at the pot that was almost empty in his hand, he was stunned.
At this moment, Beryl did not care about the distinction between men and women. She unbuttoned his shirt with trembling hands and said, "Take off your clothes. Let me see the wound on your back."
When she spoke, her voice was still trembling. The calmest person in the room was Marcellus himself.
Although the wound was very painful, it would not make him collapse or be unable to bear it at all. No one in this industry was completely clean. Human revenge was very common in the past, some succeeded, and some failed. In short, it was not surprising for him to be injured.
Although this kind of burn was painful, there was no risk at all. He would be fine if he made it through. He didn't care at all.
On the contrary, it was Beryl's reaction that surprised him.
She was usually full of disdain and unwillingness. Why would she be so nervous at a time like this?
Marcellus suddenly felt that the burn was worth it.
However, he must not let Beryl know about this. After thinking for a while, he pretended to be in great pain and bent down slightly. He adjusted his voice and said weakly, "It... hurts..."
Seeing that he was acting so seriously, Beryl immediately believed him. "Does the wound hurt? Hold on a little longer. I'll lift it and take a look."
As she spoke, she carefully unbuttoned her shirt. Just as she was about to take it off, she was stopped by Marcellus.
She thought that he was not feeling well again, so she quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
