A Graduation Gift

Chapter 230 The Intimate Couple

Rufus turned serious all of a sudden as Cassandra washed his back.

"Why do you have so many scars on your back? What happened?"

Cassandra hadn't noticed all of Rufus's scars until today. While most of them had already faded, they still didn't disappear completely.

She'd never seen his back this close when they were together before. 'Why did he have so many scars?'

"I fell from a cliff and got caught with one of the branches so those are scratches,"

Rufus said nonchalantly. He didn't say more but it was obvious that there was definitely more to the story.

Cassandra scrutinized the scars closely. She reached out and stroked them. The scars were flat on the skin so they couldn't be felt by the hand but the discoloration against the skin was a bit alarming. This was definitely a serious injury before.

"Does it hurt?"

Cassandra reluctantly held the shower head in her left hand and used the other to stroke Rufus's scars. Her fingers brushed the marks carefully, afraid that Rufus might get hurt.

What happened? Rufus wasn't telling her anything—he was mysterious like that and Cassandra's heart longed for him.

"No. Do you feel bad for me?"

Rufus asked with a smile on his face. He cocked his head to the side and gazed at Cassandra.

"Should I?" Cassandra pouted.

Rufus thought she was adorable for caring enough to touch his scars. Did she really believe that Rufus couldn't do anything just because he broke one leg?

"You're not making any sense. If you don't stop, you're going to have to take a shower on your own!"

Cassandra's face reddened as she tossed the shower head into Rufus's hand.

He wouldn't stop making fun of her even if all she was trying to do was help him! Well, if this was how he was going to be then she might as well just leave him to himself.

Cassandra turned around to leave but Rufus grabbed her arm to pull her towards him.

"Come on, let's finish what you started,"

Rufus said, smiling. Cassandra could tell that he was only teasing her.
