    Chapter 1241


    As Felicity listened to Marshall’s response, she could not help but admire his professional and


    commanding presence as awyer. “Mr. Moore, what we just did earlier, was it considered self-


    defense? We won’t be held responsible for that abusive man’s injury, right?” she asked.


    Marshall smiled and said, “With me here, don’t worry.” His eyes then shifted to Ste, who seemed lost


    in thought. He softly called her name. “Ste? Are you okay?”


    Ste nodded and turned to see blood seeping through the tie that Marshall had tightly wrapped around


    his hand.


    Felicity also noticed the blood and eximed, “You’re bleeding a lot, Mr. Moore. It’s like you hit a major


    artery or something.”


    Marshall was amused by her statement and replied, “It’s just a cut. My blood doesn’t clot well, but I’ll be


    fine.”


    “Felicity, can you apany Marshall to the hospital to stop the bleeding while I head to the police


    station and make a statement?” Ste asked. She knew that Marshall had hemophilia, and things might


    get serious if the bleeding continued.


    Initially, Felicity thought of pointing out that she and Marshall were not that close and Ste should


    apany him instead. However, she recalled that Keegan had entrusted her with the task of


    preventing them from getting too close to each other. So, she decided to cooperate and


    said, “Sure.”


    “That’s okay. We can give our statements together. I’m fine,” said Marshall.


    “No. Your well-being is more important right now,” Ste replied.


    Marshall fell silent for a moment and said, “I’m sorry for bringing you two into this.”


    “There’s nothing to be sorry about. We’re friends, and friends help each other out,” Felicity quickly


    waved off his apology.


    Marshall smiled upon hearing that. He then turned to Ste and said, “Thank you.”

    Ste paused for a moment and did not respond. She felt guilty because she did not intend building if


    Felicity had not rushed up first. Instead, she was scared for Felicity’s safety.


    Keegan had advised her to prioritize herself when helping others since she climbed out the window on


    the 12th floor of a hotel to save Jaylene. But, Ste was not the kind of person who would feel


    compelled to save everyone. She understood that climbing out a 12-story window was dangerous, but


    it was a situation she could handle.


    However, things were different this time. Ste found the circumstances to be much more risky with a


    knife involved. Not only she might fail to save the person from the assant, but she could also end up


    losing her own life.


    Ste knew that she was not as fearless as Felicity when it came to standing up for justice. Before


    jumping into rescue, she would assess her abilities and the likelihood of sess.


    She felt undeserving of Marshall’s gratitude, and she also could not ignore the frequency of unexpected


    events happening whenever she was with Marshall.


    ‘First, it was the horse racing incident with Keegan. Next, it was me being sshed with hot water by


    Aurora. Then, I was surrounded by Be’s fans at the mall. And now, this?’ Ste did not know if she


    was just overthinking, but these incidents were too hard to ignore.


    Sensing Ste’s gaze, Marshall turned to her and asked, “Is something bothering you?”


    Ste shook her head and said in a warm voice, “No. Just take care of yourself, and try to avoid getting


    hurt again.”


    Marshall smiled and replied, “Okay.”


    With that settled, Felicity apanied Marshall to the hospital while Ste headed to the police station


    to give her statement.
