Tina tried to block Cecilia, but Cecilia restrained her from behind. Cecilia wasn't afraid, she believed she could escape, so she was willing to endure it.
Cecilia closed her eyes. After a while, Cecilia didn't feel the boiling water at all. Has he gone numb? Or is there a problem with his sense of taste?
However, Cecilia could feel her waist being grabbed by a pair of hands
"Oh, Lord!" Susan screamed. Rima was also shocked to see it.
"Mark, what are you doing!" When he poured the hot water, Rima didn't expect that Mark held Cecilia in his arms to protect Cecilia from being splashed by her mother's hot water.
The water was boiling because Mark had just tried it and it was very hot.
"Mark" A frightened Susan came over to Mark, "You're all right, right? Auntie must be unintentional. Let me treat it."
Susan's kindness made Cecilia feel displeased.
"Mark, what are you doing protecting this bitch? What magic did he give you? You're fascinated with her when you don't know how many men she's slept with?" Rima was so shocked, and she didn't expect that her son would protect her from hot water in such a precarious situation.
Mark released Susan's grip from his arm, "Isn't that bothering me enough?" Immediately Mark gave a very cold look, and his tone made others afraid of him.
"Son" Rima knew that her son was very angry at this time. He immediately motioned for Susan to stand beside him.
"Enough! No matter who the first person Cecilia was in life, there is no one better than me." Was Mark's words like this not clear enough? He confirmed that the first man for Cecilia was him.
"Mark, don't help this woman!" Rima continued to stare intently at Cecilia.
Susan didn't dare to say anything.
Mark's whole body ached from the hot water. Mark couldn't imagine what it would be like if the hot water hit Cecilia's smooth skin.
Cecilia was very surprised. He didn't say a word and just stared intently at Mark's back.
"Is Mark in pain?" Cecilia wanted to stop the water from spilling out of the glass. Still, Mark was willing to sacrifice for Cecilia's sake at a critical moment.
Mark felt his back so hot, and it felt like he was being stabbed to the heart.
"Don't test my patience again, or..."
Rima knew what her son would say. Mark wouldn't allow Susan to stay here if there were more trouble.
"For the sake of my son, today I will let this bitch off the hook." Rima glared at Cecilia as if to tear her body apart.
"Susan, let's go!" Rima raised her head arrogantly while glancing at Susan behind her.
"Auntie, how's Mark's injury?" Susan looked at Mark and turned to her aunt.
"He's okay, don't worry," Rima understood Mark's condition well, so she knew that her son was okay.
"There is medicine and a personal doctor for him. Susan, get your suitcases ready now."
"Suitcase? For what, auntie?" Susan did not understand the meaning of Rima's words.
"Next Monday you'll know what that means." Rima and Susan left the villa.
Susan understood the meaning of Rima's words. She was the daughter of a prominent family, so she must not lose her charm. She nodded at Mark with a smile, then went after Rima to leave the villa.
The moments looked like the empress returned to the palace.
"Young Master, I, I will get some medicine for you!" when Rima and Susan had left, a frightened Tina reacted. She ran to the cupboard and took the medicine box.
Upon hearing the news of the incident, Aunt Ann rushed over to them. Seeing the messy kitchen made Aunt Ann let out a long sigh. She already knew this would happen.
"Young Master, are you all right? Should I call the family doctor?" Aunt Ann asked Mark in a worried tone. Compared to his mother, Rima, Mark, and Aunt Ann's relationship are very close.
"No need." Mark shook his head. According to him, this burn is not a big problem for him.
"See, the water soaks all over your body. Are you sure you're okay?" Aunt Ann still doesn't believe Mark.
"Mark, are you all right?" After a long time, Cecilia finally spoke to Mark. The maids scattered around her. Her eyes kept on looking at Mark's back for a while.
"Do you care about me, Cecilia?" Mark said as he stretched his thin lips.
