After sending Angela back to her room, I cursed myself like every time.

However, this time I could not control my heart. I was in pain and started to feel suffocated with my fake identity…

Because now I start to feel irritated whenever I see this plaster. Because of this, I don't have anything to do and just sit on my bed like a sufferer…I hate this plaster on me.
