When the doctor peeled the gauze off, the wounds were already recovered, so more dressing was unnecessary.Adina looked at the wounds in the mirror. They did not look as disgusting as she imagined, but the wound on the left cheek recovered much better.She gently touched her right cheek. It did not sting like the night before.She asked, “My right cheek gets into sudden pangs of pain, but this won’t happen to my left cheek. What is going on?”The doctor carefully examined the wound. “The trauma on the right is bigger and deeper. It’s recovering, so you will feel stinging pain. You must not scratch it with your hand so that the wound won’t be infected again.”“Is there no way to get rid of the pain?” Adina asked again.The situation last night seemed to happen after her right cheek was in stinging pain and her mind went blank.Duke also said, “Can you prescribe some painkillers?”The doctor advised them solemnly, “Painkillers are usually taken after a major illness or surgery. F
[No wonder Duke would have an affair. This face looks so disgusting. It’s not Duke’s fault for wanting a divorce.][Oh yeah, what about the divorce between Adina and Duke that happened some time ago? Why is there suddenly no further information?][Duke was already having affairs when she was not disfigured previously. Now her face is so ugly. I think this settles their divorce.][Men are visual animals. They will not accept a disfigured wife.]When Adina read the strange comments online, she chuckled before she shut down her phone.She did not understand why such a trivial matter could become a hot topic online when she was not even a popular celebrity.It looked like she had to put on a mask like Duke when she went out.Duke controlled the steering wheel while he asked her, “What happened?”“The netizens said my face is disfigured, and I was despised by my husband, so I’m abandoned and divorced,” Adina purposely said in a joking tone.Unexpectedly, this man said in a serious
All the four kids in the room looked at each other at a loss.Harold’s eyes became teary. He sniffed and said, “I thought Mommy was just mildly injured. Why would this happen?”“Mommy must be very sad…” Melody gloomily said. She was a girl who loved to be pretty and loved to dress up, and so did Mommy.If her face was ruined, she would be so sad that she cried every day. Mommy should have also cried. It was just that she did not cry in front of the four of them.“No matter what has happened to Mommy, she is still our Mommy,” Alden indifferently said, “Don’t act like this in front of Mommy, or she will think we despise her.”Harold quickly wiped his tears off. “Okay, I will not cry. I want to wait for Mommy to come back happily.”George pursed his lips before he softly said, “Mel, don’t you have toys for makeup?”Melody nodded. “Yes, Grandma bought it for me.”Grandma bought all the toys that girls loved, and she had a special dollhouse.George fell into contemplative silence
Melody followed. “Mommy, did we hide very well this time? You and Daddy could not find us!”George and Alden also walked out from behind the curtains.Adina subconsciously chuckled.In the past, George and Alden disdained playing this kind of peekaboo game that children liked to play, but they actually played with Harold and Melody today. It looked like kids were easily assimilated among each other.When Adina was about to speak, she suddenly became stunned.When the light outside the window shone on their faces, there were a total of scars on the four faces.They were clearly red lipstick marks. With the eyeshadow and foundation as finish-off, they looked like very deep wounds.“Mommy, Mel put this makeup on for us,” Harold proudly said, “Georgie said this makeup is called Scar Makeup. It’s very popular on the internet now. Does it look good?”Adina’s eyes suddenly became watery.The kids must have seen the online news, so they put two scars on their faces.How fortunate she
Harold appeared surprised, and so did Melody.Meanwhile, Alden and George looked relatively calm as if they had already known about it.“This is slightly complicated. In short, Dillon is my biological father, and my biological father is your biological grandfather. You can just call him Grandpa,” Adina smiled and spoke.Harold jumped up high. “Awesome! I finally have a grandpa!”He used to hate Dew, so he refused to call Aaron “Grandpa.”He had met Dillon with his mommy a few times. Dillon treated his mommy really nicely and even gave him some pocket money. Most importantly, Grandpa would guide him in drawing. He enjoyed having a grandpa.Melody’s eyes also lit up. “I have Mommy, Daddy, three elder brothers, Grandma, and Papa Brown. Now I have a grandpa. I’m so happy!”“You still have an uncle,” Adina said as she smiled.Alden took a look at Adina and realized that his mommy’s smile was not fake.It looked like she sincerely accepted the Jones family and also wanted them to ap
Adina smiled faintly. “Let’s start trying on the dresses now.”The shop assistant pushed a row of dresses over.There were two custom-made dresses. One was a pink waist-length tassel dress that looked elegant and ladylike, while the other one was a snow-colored lace dress that looked pure and unworldly.There was a similarity between the dresses: they were very conservative. Her arms and legs would be covered up.They looked like dresses that an eighteen-year-old girl would wear.Adina chuckled.It seemed that daughters were always little girls to their fathers.She took the two gowns into the dressing room and put them on.The dresses appeared simple, but they were actually complex. There were layers on the hem of the dresses, giving the dresses a dignified, vintage, and elegant air.It took Adina about eight minutes before she could put the pink dress on. When she buckled the belt on her waist and was about to walk out of the dressing room, she heard some people whispering o
Seeing that the dressing room was closed, Harold took Melody to the dress section on the side.He spoke like a professional, “Mel, I think your white dress doesn’t look very nice. Should we change your dress?”A service assistant immediately came over from the side and respectfully said, “Which one would you like, Miss? I can bring it over for you.”Melody glanced in the service assistant’s direction before she held out her chubby finger and said, “I want that beautiful ma’am to get the dress for me.”The female assistant whom she pointed at felt somewhat flattered.Adina would likely divorce Duke, but these kids would still be the young masters and the lady in the Winters family. Even if their parents were divorced, it would not change their status in the family. It was a great honor to be personally appointed to serve the little princess.Most importantly, the little girl even called her “beautiful,” while Adina had implied that she was ugly.Clearly, the children had the most
Harold was speechless.George was right, but why did his point sound a little strange? Why did he have to compare him to a dog?“The surveillance camera will have your proof,” Alden said. “Even if we go to court, you’ll still need to pay for these losses. Someone should calculate how much money she needs to pay in total.”A shocked female service assistant at the side immediately took a calculator and approached them to calculate the cost.There was a total of seventeen dresses. The cheapest was $180,000 while the most expensive was nearly $500,000. The total came to about $5,000,000.The female service assistant’s face turned pale in response to the huge blow.She could not even afford to compensate for one piece, much less so many pieces.“What happened?”Halfway through fitting her fitting, Adina heard the noise outside. She immediately put on the dress and walked out to see the mess in the lobby.Harold seemed to enjoy the person’s misfortune as he described it. “Mommy, th
