Chapter 413
“Not serious? It’s turned blue!” Weston growled even as he stared at the large patch of bruise over Stella’s back. The blood in the middle had clotted into blackness with only small tinges of red visible in between.
However, the red somehow made her injury appear even more gruesome.
“Doing this to yourself… Are you an idiot?”
Unable to look anymore, Weston lowered her blouse.
Nonetheless, Stella appeared upset at his accusation. “It’s my job-and like I said, it’s not serious.”
Weston grabbed her by the arm and spun her around right then. However, he did not know that she was injured over the arm as well, and he promptly let go when he heard her gasp in pain, even as he withheld all the harsh words he was about to throw at her while watching her reaction.
“Did that hurt?”
Stella nodded.
Weston had to restrain his flaring rage right then, and gently moved Stella so that she was seated in a comfortable position. Then, he helped her take off her jacket and carefully rolled up her sleeves.
It turned out that her arm was the part where she was hurt the most-because she was falling headlong to the ground while being suspended with high-tension wires, she had shielded her head by instinct in the urgency of the moment.
Even if he was the cause, he would protect her without regard to the consequences.
It was an irony that left Stella feeling even worse.
Perhaps because it had been a long time since anyone had protected her, anyone who showered her with the slightest warmth and affection would stir her emotionally.
However, she would tell herself that Weston’s tenderness was no love, but simply possessiveness.
On the other hand, Weston watched as Stella kept quiet and moved off to a corner, he thought that she was upset, and noticed then that his tone had indeed been a little too overbearing. His expression turned mild right then. “If I remember correctly, I’ve told the film crew not to let you shoot sequences on high-tension wires.”| Realizing that Weston might be pursuing the matter, Stella quickly said, “I volunteered-I’d rather not slow the film’s shooting progress.” “But I remember that your parts are finished, “Weston countered, not about to give in on the issue. “I don’t want to see you get hurt.”
