Ste was surprised.
Then, Marshall exined, "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 zer earlier.
Ste gulped.
''Why do I feel like I''m always reminding him of his dark past? ‘I hate myself!'' Ste 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 Ste.
Ste 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 Ste''s finger made on his
arm.He stared at Ste''s brows and gulped uncontrobly.

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 simr color clothes
today.I know he cares about you."
Ste paused.She replied without looking at him, "The design of what we''re wearing ispletely
different and our body shape doesn''t look simr at all.How blind does he have to be to make that
mistake?"
"It''s probably too chaotic just now..."
Ste 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."
Ste was done applying the petroleum jelly for Marshall after a while.
Marshall looked at his arm, and he was speechless.
Ste applied an extremely thickyer 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 imed that it could do that."
Marshall pursed his lips again.
"Do the scars look ugly?" Ste kept quiet.
She suddenly felt like giving herself a p!
"Mr.Moore, that''s not what I meant."
She quickly tried to exin herself.
"The box says that it can remove burn scars...I don''t think that they''re ugly.They''re kind of beautiful, ptui
—I 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 Ste got while trying to exin herself.
"I know.I was just joking with you."
Ste kept quiet.
"Ste, 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."
Ste 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, Ste said jokingly, "Maybe it''s because you''re awyer.Anybody would be extra cautious around
lawyers because awyer could send them to jail if thewyer ever got something against them, right?"
Marshall chuckled.
"Awyer can also send somebody else to jail for you."
