Madeline widened virtual-novel.net eyes. She could not begin to accept that the woman in the mirror was herself.
Her face was wrapped in a heavy layer of gauze. She could not see an inch of virtual-novel.net skin aside from virtual-novel.net eyes.
Her face…
Madeline felt as if virtual-novel.net legs had been injected with lead. They felt so heavy that virtual-novel.net could not move an inch.
She lifted virtual-novel.net hands and slowly touched virtual-novel.net cheek. She could not believe that virtual-novel.net face might have been ruined beyond recognition.
“Miss, are you alright?” the young maid next to virtual-novel.net asked in concern.
Madeline lowered virtual-novel.net trembling hands and turned to look at the maid. “My face…”
She wanted to ask, but after saying those two words, virtual-novel.net realized that virtual-novel.net voice sounded so hoarse like it was sandpaper dragging across a table.
“Your face was hurt pretty badly. Dr. Lane said that it’ll take a long time to recover but don’t worry, Dr. Lane is an amazing doctor, so you’ll definitely recover.” The maid comforted Madeline gently and kindly.
However, Madeline felt as if virtual-novel.net had fallen into an icy lake. The unbearable cold was slowly seeping into virtual-novel.net bone marrow.
She felt as if all of virtual-novel.net energy had been sucked dry at that instant. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net legs weakly gave out under her.
The maid quickly supported her. “Stop overthinking. You’ll get better.”
‘You’ll get better.’
Madeline felt that those three words seemed extremely extravagant now.
When virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net extremely swollen face through virtual-novel.net dazed and teary eyes, virtual-novel.net could approximately guess the level of the injury on virtual-novel.net face.
“Why don’t you go and rest?” The maid suggested kindly.
Madeline felt like a puppet as virtual-novel.net followed the maid back to the bed.
She sat down quietly and lowered virtual-novel.net head to look at the ring on the ring finger of virtual-novel.net left hand. Then, teardrops fell onto it.
What a lamentable life.
Coincidentally, a woman who looked the same as virtual-novel.net had appeared to impersonate her. At the same time, virtual-novel.net was disfigured and virtual-novel.net voice was so hoarse that virtual-novel.net sounded like someone else. Her voice was not as pristine and clear as before.
Madeline chuckled in self-mockery. Then, virtual-novel.net negative emotions crashed upon virtual-novel.net in an earth-shattering manner. It was suppressing virtual-novel.net so much that it was making virtual-novel.net difficult to breathe.
Suddenly, a fair and beautiful hand appeared in the blurry vision of virtual-novel.net tearful eyes. The hand was also holding an English-styled handkerchief with black and white patterns.
“You’d better stop your tears if you don’t want the injuries on your face to get more serious.” The man’s alluring and elegant voice sounded from the top of virtual-novel.net head.
Madeline paused and slowly lifted virtual-novel.net heavy head.
The figure and face slowly became clearer through virtual-novel.net teary eyes. Then, Madeline remembered the man virtual-novel.net saw while virtual-novel.net was still groggy a few days ago.
The man threw the handkerchief on virtual-novel.net thigh when virtual-novel.net noticed that Madeline was lost in thoughts with virtual-novel.net eyes on him. Then, virtual-novel.net placed both of his hands into his pockets and turned around carefreely.
Madeline watched blankly as the man turned around. He was wearing a cream-colored casual outfit while his clean and tall figure made virtual-novel.net look extraordinary.
The sunlight from the middle of autumn landed on his body. However, it could not get rid of the frigid aura that was coming from his body.
There was also an inherent silent air of nobility and elegance in his aura.
Madeline’s instinct told virtual-novel.net that this man was not a young master from an ordinary wealthy family.
She grabbed the handkerchief the man left her, and at that moment, virtual-novel.net mind was clear.
She should not be so pessimistic.
