Chapter 705

The instant she fell, Stella instinctively shielded her hands, so only her arm was injured.

Seeing this, Candida rushed over, her face drained of color.

knew this better than anyone.

Stella was in the middle of competitions and about to hold a concert.

If her hands were hurt and it affected her performance...

Candida would never forgive herself.

With Candida's support, Stella slowly got to her feet. "I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

Eyes rimmed red, Candida gently checked Stella's hands.

Stella had the loveliest hands-pale, delicate, almost porcelain.
