Chapter 658
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âOww!!! It hurts!â A piece of hot charcoal landed on Seraphinaâs foot and she yelped in pain.
The men, who were chatting out in the open, heard the noise, and they all came running. Everyone surrounded Seraphina.
âWhat happened? Why did the grill suddenly topple over? Were you two roasting skewers or yourself?â
Xavier was confused by the chaotic scene.
âStop your sarcasm already. Canât you see that I burned my foot? Hurry up and help me out! What if it leaves a scar?â Seraphina grabbed her foot and clenched her jaws. She was nearly crying.
Moses risked taking a beating and continued to mock her. âItâs rare to see Seraphina in such a weak state. The charcoal has really done justice for us! N Seraphina swung her fist in his direction. âMoses, how could you say that? Just you wait. Iâm going to beat you up!â
Everyone quickly stopped her. They were all worried about her burned foot, and everyone was focused on her.
Christopher silently observed for a moment. âSeraphina, your wound looks serious. You should tend to it right away.â
âExactly. Christopher, it hurts so badâ¦â
âCan you still walk?â
âI canât. It hurts whenever I move. Forget about walking. Can anyone carry me?â Seraphina didnât even give anyone the chance to volunteer. She directly pointed at Stefan. âStefan, you and Christopher are the most reliable ones in the group. I wouldnât dare order Christopher around. Thatâs why youâll have to carry me!â
Stefan was initially looking at Renee, and he couldnât hide the look of concern in his eyes.
It felt like he was caught cheating and quickly looked away. After that, he bent over and grabbed Seraphinaâs arm. âIâll tend to your wound.â
The others nervously followed along.
Apart from Xavier, nobody else asked about Reneeâs situation.
âRenee, are you sure you werenât burned?â Xavier took a few steps before turning around. He was a little worried.
âNo.â Renee smiled and shook her head calmly.
âThatâs great!â Xavier watched Stefan, and the others leave. His tone was somewhat affectionate. âIn that case, Iâll go and check on Seraphina. Weâll all be in trouble if she gets upset. Iâd better move quick!â
âGo ahead. I want to stay in the sun for a while.â Renee urged Xavier to leave.
When she was finally alone, she couldnât help but frown.
She carefully rolled her sleeves up. There was a patch of skin the size of an egg on her left arm that was burned. It was just as bad as Seraphinaâs foot.
âDamn! It hurts like hell!â She exclaimed through clenched jaws.
She was so unlucky today. Not only did Stefan blackmail her into staying for the barbecue, but she even had to meet the crazy Seraphina and get scalded for no reason!
Being around Stefan only ever brought her bad luck!
Renee hesitated. She was thinking if she should leave while the rest were away. Sheâd then go to the nearest clinic to tend to her wound.
Suddenly, she was handed a tube of medicinal cream.
