63: Chapter 63 Serena Sumrs, You’ve Really Made It 63: Chapter 63 Serena Sumrs, You’ve Really Made It In the eting room, eerily quiet to the point of being unsettling, a cell phone vibration suddenly cut through the silence.
Everyone exchanged glances, wondering who was so bold as to forget to set their phone to silent during the eting.
As people looked around, Lucas Shaw with his cold visage suddenly picked up the phone from the table.
He glanced at the caller ID, hesitated for a mont, but ultimately pressed the answer button.
“Hello, what’s up?”
The man’s voice was deep and clear with an inherently commanding tone that made one’s heart tremble involuntarily.
Everyone in the eting room instinctively held their breath, daring not to even exhale loudly.
That’s because they saw their CEO’s face grow more and more somber, as if the next second, his handso features could drip ink.
Whatever the person on the other end of the line had said, Lucas Shaw’s expression suddenly changed drastically.
Lucas Shaw, who was normally unflappable even if Mount Tai were to collapse before him, suddenly stood up and strode out of the eting room.
After Lucas Shaw had left, the people in the eting room looked at one another.
They couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, almost feeling as if they’d narrowly survived a calamity.
They wondered which deity had saved them, wishing her a long and prosperous life!
At S University’s office.
School authorities were giving a lecture on proper behavior to the girl who had spilled hot water on Serena Sumrs.
Serena sat there bored, supporting her cheek with one hand, looking sowhat listless.
The wound wasn’t treated with any dicine, and at this mont, the stark redness was spreading across her arm, looking rather frightening.
However, there wasn’t a hint of pain on Serena’s face.
Such a level of pain was nothing to her.
She had endured pain a thousand tis worse than this before.
But others didn’t see it that way.
Professor Parker, seeing her slightly downcast eyes, thought she was trying to bear the pain.
He quickly handed her the ointnt he brought: “Serena, this is an ointnt for treating burns.
You should apply it right away.”
Suddenly presented with the ointnt, Serena couldn’t help but freeze for a mont.
A warm current slowly moved through her heart.
Serena pursed her lips into a smile, “Thank you, Professor Parker.”
Watching Serena’s sensible and obedient deanor, Professor Parker’s affection for Serena deepened.
“You don’t need to be so formal with ; I’m your ntor’s ntor.”
“I understand, Uncle ntor.”
Serena looked up, her pale porcelain face adorned with two small dimples.
Sickly sweet.
It made one instinctively develop a fondness.
Professor Parker chuckled softly, thinking to himself that he should have taken on a sweet and soft apprentice as well.
Just imagining a young girl calling him “Master” tenderly and gently made him feel content.
At that mont, Liam Shaw, who had received the news, arrived in haste, a look of urgency all over his face.
“Serena, are you alright?
Where are you hurt?
Is it serious?”
He approached Serena quickly, examining her from head to toe with great concern.
Looking at Liam Shaw’s anxious expression ward Serena’s heart.
She pointed to her arm and spoke carelessly, “Don’t worry, big brother, it’s just a minor injury!
It’s not serious.”
Brandon Reese, standing off to the side, twitched the corner of his mouth.
This wasn’t serious?
What then would be considered serious?
Even he, a grown man, couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t cry out in pain if he were scalded like that.
Yet Serena remained silent, stubbornly acting as if the injured person wasn’t her.
Her resilience and strength earned a sense of admiration from Brandon Reese, who had struggled through the darkness for years.
He reminded her in a low voice, “Ma’am, you should apply the ointnt quickly.
Professor Parker said your wound is quite serious, and it could beco infected if not treated promptly.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Brandon Reese imdiately received an angry glare from Serena.
“If you can’t speak properly, then shut up.”
Brandon Reese made a zipping motion across his lips and quickly closed his mouth, no longer speaking.
Liam Shaw let out a heavy sigh, his tone filled with helplessness and sorrow.
“Serena, you should not have kept it from .
I’m your older brother, not an outsider.”
In Liam Shaw’s heart, he had long since considered Serena Sumrs to be part of his family, as important to him as his own brother.
Facing Liam Shaw’s dark eyes, Serena Sumrs felt a sense of guilt for so reason.
She blinked, her eyes brimming with innocence.
Seeing the girl with her head down, wearing an expression of having done sothing wrong, Liam Shaw’s heart imdiately softened.
“Forget it.
You’re not allowed to do this ever again.
Liam cares a lot about you; if sothing happened to you, he would definitely be heartbroken.”
He sighed resignedly and raised his hand to gently ruffle the little girl’s fluffy hair.
Just then, Liam Shaw suddenly walked in.
His handso, abstinent face was overcast with shadows.
He strode up to Serena Sumrs, his tone hostile, “Serena, you’ve really grown up, even learning how to fight!”
Upon seeing Liam Shaw, a look of joy imdiately appeared on Serena Sumrs’s face.
However, before she had a chance to speak, she was t with Liam Shaw’s furious expression.
Looking into the man’s cold and profound eyes, Serena Sumrs’s eyes instantly reddened.
When she had hot water splashed on her, Serena Sumrs didn’t even blink.
But now, she inexplicably felt wronged.
“You’re scolding !
You’re actually scolding !” Serena Sumrs was shocked and bitter.
She turned to run out of the office, feeling aggrieved.
But in the next second, a distinctly boned hand grabbed her arm.
The large hand gently exerted pressure, pulling her into a warm and familiar embrace.
Serena Sumrs blinked her eyes, seemingly not yet understanding what had just happened.
She instinctively tried to lift her head but unexpectedly noticed that Liam Shaw’s body was trembling slightly.
It seed that he was afraid, panicking.
Hugging Serena Sumrs tightly, Liam Shaw’s dark eyes were filled with fear.
“I’m sorry.”
His cool voice slowly rose from above Serena Sumrs’s head.
There was a subtle, almost imperceptible tremor in it.
Serena Sumrs didn’t understand why Liam Shaw was apologizing.
But feeling the warmth of the man’s chest, she decided to forgive him this ti.
She raised her hand and gently patted his back as a gesture for him not to be sad.
She had already forgiven him.
Liam Shaw slowly let go of Serena Sumrs, his gaze sweeping over her before finally settling on the large red mark, his eyes suddenly becoming fierce and nacing.
“Who did this?”
The man’s cold eyes had no trace of warmth, like a freshly drawn blade, emitting a bone-chilling aura.
In the corner, the girl in the red T-shirt violently shrank her shoulders, trying to reduce her presence.
However, Liam Shaw still noticed her.
Liam Shaw let go of Serena Sumrs and strode towards the girl.
“Did you spill the water?”
The man’s tall and slender figure towered over the girl, like a king looking down on her.
He exuded a powerful sense of authority unique to those above, engendering an overwhelming fear.
The girl’s lips trembled, wanting to defend herself, but she found that she couldn’t utter a single word.
Seeing this, Brandon Reese could not help but shake his head.
