Chapter 338 I Won’t Cry Out In Pain
“Ah, it hurts!”
A piece of hot charcoal fell on the back of Alina’s foot, which made her scream.
The men who were chatting in the tent heard the noise and ran over. They surrounded Alina
nervously.
“What happened? Why did the grill fall? Did you two roast skewers or yourselves?”
When Keith saw the chaotic scene, he felt that it was inconceivable.
“Don’t be sarcastic. Can’t you see that my foot was scalded? Hurry up and treat it. I don’t want a
scar!”
Alina held her foot. She winced in pain and almost cried.
Zander took the risk of being beaten up and said with a sneer, “Alina, I didn’t know that you would be so
weak. The charcoal helped us a lot!”
Alina punched Zander and gritted her teeth. “You bastard. How dare you say that? Just wait and see. I
will beat you to death!”
Seeing this, everyone quickly stopped Alina. They were all very nervous about Alina’s injury, and all their
attention was on her.
Karen observed Alina’s foot silently for a moment and said in a low voice, “Alina, you are seriously
injured. You must deal with it.”
“Yeah. Look, the back of my foot is burned. It really hurts…”
“Can you walk?”
“No. It hurts when I move, let alone walk. Which one of you can carry me?”
Alina did not give the crowd a chance to raise their hands. She pointed to Braden beside her and said,
“Braden, Karen and you are the most reliable among these guys. I don’t dare to order Karen around, so I
can only turn to you!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBraden fixed his eyes on Shirley. He still looked cold, but he was quite worried.
When Alina talked to Braden, it was as if he was found cheating on the exam. He hurriedly looked
and then bent down to grab Alina’s arm. He said lightly. “I will take you to apply medicine
away
The other people followed them nervously.
Other than Keith, no one cared about Shirley.
“Shirley, did you scald yourself?”
Keith took a few steps and then turned back, feeling worried.
“No.”
Shirley curled her lips and shook her head calmly.
“That’s good!”
Keith looked in the direction where Braden and the others left and said in a doting tone, “I’ll go to see
Alina. If she is unhappy, we will suffer. We don’t dare to neglect her!”
“Okay. I’ll enjoy the sun here.”
Shirley smiled and let Keith go.
When Shirley was alone, she couldn’t help but frown.
Shirley carefully rolled up her sleeves. She saw that a part of her left arm, which was the size of an egg,
had been scalded. It was as serious as the back of Alina’s foot.
“Damn, it really hurts!”
Shirley gritted her teeth and muttered.
Shirley was in bad luck today. She was inexplicably coerced by Braden to stay for the barbecue. Then,
she inexplicably met the crazy Alina and was scalded!
Sure enough, Braden was the bane of Shirley’s life. When Braden was around, she would not have
had good luck!
Shirley hesitated. Now that everyone had left, she could leave and go to the nearby clinic to deal
with her wound.
Just then, an ointment was handed over from above.
With some expectation, Shirley suddenly raised her head, a little disappointed yet surprised.
“Karen?”
Against the light, Karen looked like a prince in a . He said gently, “The effect of this ointment is
good. Hurry up and treat your wound. It won’t look good if you have a scar
“How did you know I…”
Shirley was a little awkward.
Just now, Shirley forcefully endured the pain and deliberately concealed the fact that she had also been
scalded. It was not because she had good psychological quality, nor was it because her skin was rough
and she was not afraid of pain.
Shirley just did not want to appear to be insignificant when Alina was around, because Alina was the
focus of everyone’s attention.
“I saw that you looked awkward just now, so I thought you were also scalded. But since you didn’t say
anything about it, you must have your own reasons.”
Karen said gently, like a caring brother, giving Shirley a feeling of safety.
Shirley sighed, smiled bitterly, and unconsciously opened her heart to Karen.
“All of you cared about Alina, so I didn’t want to give you additional trouble. I’m not the kind of woman
who will cry out in pain.”
In her early years, Shirley lived in a loving environment, and she was very happy to show weakness.
However, Shirley had experienced a lot over the years. She was already used to being strong. She could
heal herself. She didn’t need the care of others.
“As the saying goes, it’s the squeaky wheel that gets the grease. Girls who are too strong will live a very
hard life…”
Karen sat next to Shirley, making her feel warm. He said lightly, “Alina is fierce, but she is very smart and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmknows when to show weakness. She often tells us her needs. That’s why we all listen to her
and dote on her.”
“I can tell that you all dote on her. I am quite envious of her. She can become friends with others
wherever she goes, but this is too difficult for me.”
“Right. You are very kind, but you make people feel distant. In the years when you were Braden’s wife,
we often met, but it was a pity that we didn’t know each other well.”
Karen was the oldest in this group, so he was more experienced and mature.
Karen usually didn’t talk much, but he could read people’s minds.
“You and Braden are the same. Both of you are competitive. Once you decide, you won’t change your
mind. I think it’s a pity for you to divorce…”
Karen could tell that Braden and Shirley still loved each other.
Shirley didn’t say anything. She unscrewed the lid of the ointment and silently applied it to her
scalded arm.
The ointment was cold and irritated the skin, and it hurt a little when it was applied.
Shirley didn’t say anything and just frowned.
“As I just said, it’s the squeaky wheel that gets the grease. It makes my heart ache to see you pretend to
be strong.”
Karen said with emotion.
Karen had never seen a woman as strong as Shirley. She was in so much pain, but she didn’t even
groan.
“Well, only strong people can protect themselves.”
After Shirley applied the ointment, she stood up and said, “Tell them that I have to go.
Karen didn’t stop Shirley. Instead, he asked, “Have you decided to give up on Braden?”
“Yes, I gave up on him a long time ago.”
“As you can see, Alina has feelings for Braden. She has been secretly in love with Braden for many
years. She won’t give up easily after she came back this time…”
Karen was the only one who had found this secret among his friends.
Shirley shrugged and said nonchalantly, “It has nothing to do with me. Wish her success.
