Chapter 625
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.
Her fingertips felt chilly when she touched Marshall's skin, and it made him tremble inwardly.
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.
