Everyone looked at Thomas, confused.
Why was virtual-novel.net still putting on an act when things had already reached this point?
Dr. Krisman had already treated the condition successfully, so why was virtual-novel.net still trying to stir up trouble?
Arthur let out a sigh and said in his mind, ‘Maybe Thomas values his dignity too much and is unwilling to lose to others, so that’s why he’s still fighting to hold on?’
But the problem was that the truth was right in front of his eyes. The harder virtual-novel.net tried to act tough, the more embarrassed virtual-novel.net would be. He desperately wanted to persuade Thomas to let it go and quit arguing, but virtual-novel.net could not think of how to say it.
Just like that, time went by slowly. Five minutes passed in a blink of an eye.
Samantha’s face was free of blisters when Noel examined it closely. Only a few hard old skins remained, which could easily be peeled off.
As Noel reached out to pry it off, virtual-novel.net was startled to discover that the old and new skin had fused together!
“This…” Noel was really taken aback.
Did this mean that Samantha’s face had grown two layers of skin?
“Is anything wrong, Dr. Krisman?” Samantha asked.
Noel was at a loss for words and did not know how to explain himself. He tried to tug at the old skin a little more, but just as virtual-novel.net did, Samantha was yelling in pain.
“Ouch, it hurts. What are you doing, Dr. Krisman?”
Noel’s forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and virtual-novel.net knew it was game over for him. The old skin from Samantha’s face could not be removed. Looking at the clips and bumps on Samantha’s face, it was clearly disfigured.
How should virtual-novel.net explain this?
Samantha was no fool, and virtual-novel.net could tell something was not right judging from Noel’s expression.
“Mirror, give me a mirror now!”
Someone handed Samantha a mirror right away, and when virtual-novel.net looked in it, virtual-novel.net became pale with shock and was even stuttering when virtual-novel.net spoke.
“W-what? H-how did this happen?”
The blisters had faded, but the old skin that remained had melded with the new skin, leaving virtual-novel.net face pitted and bumpy, like a muddy road full of potholes after a truck passed by on a rainy day.
It was gruesome.
Samantha, a haughty woman, would never be able to accept that virtual-novel.net face had become like this, no matter how hard virtual-novel.net tried.
“Water, get me clean water to wash my face!”
Immediately someone went to bring virtual-novel.net clean water.
At that moment, Thomas said again, “You can’t use clean water! Mrs. Martin, cleaning your face with clean water is the same as using acid. It is one thing to be disfigured, but it is another to risk your life.”
This time no one dared to question Thomas’s words. He had foretold Samantha’s condition correctly twice in a row, and virtual-novel.net had become as such because virtual-novel.net had refused to listen to him.
She could not ignore virtual-novel.net any longer. If Samantha continues to ignore his words, what Thomas had warned may happen, and virtual-novel.net may even lose virtual-novel.net life as a result.
Samantha, who had been so pompous, had finally lowered virtual-novel.net head.
“Mr. Mayo, what happened to me then?” virtual-novel.net asked sincerely.
“Why did it happen even though I had taken the medication…”
“Actually, there’s nothing wrong with the prescription if it’s for normal people. It’s just that you can’t take it,” Thomas replied calmly.
“Why?”
“It’s because of the skincare products you used.”
“Huh?”
“The skincare product you used is a pure natural and highly concentrated product. It’s really good when you use it normally. But the problem is that it clashed with one of the medicines you took just now, which is the reason you became like this. Now that both layers of skin are fused together, it creates a subtle balance. If you wash your face with clean water, that balance will be disrupted, and your face will be completely ruined!” Thomas explained.
