Chapter 605
Liam grabbed Celeste’s wrist, his face serious as he looked her up and down, his voice anxious, “Did any of it splash on you?”
Clair followed closely behind, panicked, asking with concern, “Ms. Campbell, are you guys okay?”
Seeing Celeste not replying. Liam grew more anxious. “Did you get burried?”
Celeste lowered her head to free his hand, “No.”
Just as tam was about to heave a sigh of relief, he heard Celeste continue, “I’m lucky as hell. Even sparks take a detour when they see me How could I get burned?”
Liam was about to say something when Steven also hurried over.
Checking Celeste first and confirming she was unharmed, Steven turned to Clair, “Clair, how are you doing?”
Clair answered softly. “I’m okay. Liam pulled me away, or else the fire would have splashed me.”
Liam frowned
Hearing this, Steven glanced at Liam, “So you do have some decency
Ignoring Steven’s sarcasm, Liam turned to speak to Celeste
But Celeste turned to Mason and said, ‘Mr. Fletcher, let’s go somewhere brighter and check if your arm got burned”
With a glance at the anxious Liam, Mason smiled, “Ainght”
Liam wanted to follow, but Steven grabbed his shoulder, “Handle the scene first. There are a lot of people with burns. Don’t let it affect the Reed family’s reputation.”
Liam, displeased, could only watch as Celeste walked away with Mason
The fire hadn’t been put out completely, and cries could still be heard as Liam turned to coordinate the scene.
Steven draped his coat over Clair.
“Why are you so impatient with Liam? He just saved me. You’re not like this with Ms. Campbell.”
Steven scowled. “Can he be compared to Ms. Campbell? She risked her life to save you. Anyone could have pulled you away”
Clair retorted softly, “I think Liam is a good guy, very responsible.”
Steven grimaced, “If he were responsible, would he have divorced right after Ms. Campbell lost her mother? Stay away from him.”
Clair pouted, looking toward Celeste, “Brother, Mason seems to care about Ms. Campbell. Does he like her?”
Steven ruffled her hair, “Don’t talk nonsense”
Liam doesn’t deserve Celeste, and Mason needs to be evaluated.
If Celeste wants to date, he can help her find someone, if not, they can hire more young and handsome men in the company for her to choose from.
If she wants to marry, she can, if not, the Garcia family can support her for a lifetime.
Mason unbuttoned his cuff and rolled up his sleeve.
The burn on his arm was still shocking, but Celeste was prepared, not scared but feeling sorry
There was a burn hole the size of a ping pong ball on the elbow of the shirt, Celeste looked closely at the skin under the burn hole, the burnt skin deeper in color
“Does it hurt? Celeste asked.
Mason paused, then whispered, “I can’t feel it‘
Celeste blinked
Mason explained, “The burn hit the nerve endings, where there are scars, the sensation is very dull, whether it’s hot or cold, or pain, there’s not much feeling.”
