The burn really hurt!
Yesseca cried out in pain.
Tremaine rushed over in an instant.
When he saw Yesseca pull back from the stove, he knew what had happened.
He quickly grabbed her uninjured arm and walked her to the sink. He turned on the tap and placed her arm with the burn under the cold, running water.
Yesseca was burned so badly that she had a blister on her arm.
Tremaine quickly called the hospital.
Twenty minutes later, Yesseca was brought over to the top private hospital in the city.
The doctor that evaluated Yesseca's condition said that it was very serious.
Even though Tremaine had managed to treat her burn with cold water, the hot soup had spilled over a large area of her arm. Because of this, Yesseca was in a pretty bad state.
Montez was terrified to hear this.
He began to cry. "It's over. I can't bear to live if
Yesseca has to suffer. If she can't be saved, then bury her with me. Although I wasn't lucky enough to be born on the same day as her, I'm willing to die with her."
Tremaine looked at Montez and said, "Stop crying! She's not going to die!"
Montez kept his mouth shut.
He sniffed. "I'm just so scared right now!"
The doctor was preparing some medicine for Yesseca.
"Miss Cowell, this may leave a scar. You'll have to be mentally prepared for that," the doctor explained to Yesseca.
Yesseca's face went pale.
She spoke with a trembling voice, "It's quite a large burn. Will it really leave a scar?"
The doctor nodded.
"Bring the medicine over." A man's deep voice suddenly spoke from behind her.
Tremaine had stepped in.
The doctor hesitated and said, "Alright."
"I'll get someone to bring some medicine over and apply it to her wound. For now I'll give her some anti-inflammatory cream."
The doctor could see that Tremaine wasn't an ordinary man, and since he had commanded it, it wasn't wise for the doctor to say otherwise.
The doctor left to get an intravenous drip for Yesseca.
Tremaine was about to leave but Yesseca stopped him.
Yesseca looked at him with a pitiful face. She was like a baby deer that had found its way deep into the forest and couldn't find its way back. "Mr. Quartley, do you think there will be scars on my arm? It'd probably look very ugly."
Tremaine was just about to speak when Yesseca added, "If my arm has such a huge scar. I'm afraid I won't be able to get married."
"Who told you that?" Tremaine whispered.
Yesseca bit her lip. "My whole arm will be scarred. People will be scared to death if they saw it. Who would dare to marry me then? They'll have nightmares every night."
Tremaine looked deeply into Yesseca's eyes and said, "If no one dares to marry you, I will."
Boom!
It felt like a bomb had exploded in Yesseca's brain.
She was frozen on the spot.
All she could do was stare blankly at Termaine.
He then walked out of the room, leaving her inside.
Tremaine called Noel, his housekeeper, and instructed him to send over all of the Quartley family's special reserve ointment.
The special reserve ointment was designed to rejuvenate skin and heal scars. It was extremely precious.
The butler hesitated, "Mr. Tremaine, there are only three boxes of the ointment left, and one of them is with Madam Quartley. Did you want all of them?"
