When Madeline heard this, she could expect what Naomi was going to do next.However, one of her hands was holding Eloise’s hand and she did not want to push Eloise away. When she was about to turn her head away from Naomi, Naomi quickly pretended to get close to her to whisper in her ear when in reality, she did it to rip the mask from her face.Her face was wet from the lake water. Aside from the liveliness and the beauty of her eyes, the hideous scars that were left on her face after she was burned entered everyone’s vision.“Damn! What’s wrong with her face?”“No wonder she’s wearing a mask.”“My gosh, how sad. What happened to her face? It looks like she has been burned.”“Tsk, tsk, how terrifying. Stop looking.”The passersby exclaimed from shock. Some even turned their heads to avoid looking at Madeline’s face.Others had been recording the entire time, so they captured this scene and uploaded it online.When Naomi heard the reactions of the people around her, she was de
Suddenly, Madeline became very pessimistic, especially after she saw Naomi’s arrogant, confident, and pleased face when Naomi was sure that she did not have the guts to face Jeremy. Madeline could not accept this.She clenched her fists and took a deep breath. She kept on telling herself to calm down.However, when she looked at herself in the mirror, she could not keep calm.She turned around and forced herself to not look in the mirror.She stood with her back to the mirror for a very long time. She endured the discomfort on her face when suddenly, she remembered something and there was a glint in her dull, lifeless eyes.Perhaps she should try it.Madeline thought about it and put on her clothes and mask.When she was about to go out, she heard knockings on the door.Madeline walked over to open the door. To her surprise, she saw Jeremy upon opening the door.Their eyes met, and Madeline was slightly taken aback. However, she pretended to stay calm. “How can I help you, Mr.
The moment Madeline removed her mask, Adam and Amy displayed shocked expressions at the same time.Adam was confused. “What happened to your face and voice? No, but during the incident in the park near your house this morning, your face was…”After Madeline heard this, she understood immediately.Someone must have posted the video of that incident online and Naomi was probably in the video as well.Naomi was currently using her identity.Her face had been perfectly captured in the video.Looking at Adam’s confused face, Madeline did not beat around the bush anymore. “That’s not me. The Eveline you saw is Naomi.”“Naomi?”Adam immediately understood. He remembered how Naomi had also followed Ryan to Y Country when he was there and after that, Ryan secretly arranged for Naomi to do something.As it turned out, he had arranged for Naomi to undergo plastic surgery.However, Adam was still in shock. He looked at Madeline’s face in disbelief.Aside from her eyes, there was no plac
“The twins don’t belong to you and Cathy, right?”After Adam heard that, he unfurrowed his tightly knitted brows.He looked at Cathy who was playing with the children before getting up. “Amy, I’m taking the patient to my office. If you feel bored, you can take the children out first. I’ve already made the reservation for the restaurant.”When Amy heard that, she turned around and looked at Madeline before nodding.“Go on with your business. I’ll wait for you.”“Okay.” Adam smiled warmly and pointed to the office. “Come with me.”Madeline nodded and followed after him. She remembered the last time she came here was for Jeremy’s treatment. She did not think that today would be her turn.Adam did not answer the questions about the two children. On the other hand, he helped Madeline check the wounds on her face carefully and considerately.After the check-up, he looked at two reports seriously.“Adam, tell me the truth. Do I really have the chance to recover my face?” Madeline ask
Adam gave her a firm answer. Even though he did not tell her who the man was, Madeline knew who it was in her heart.“Cathy and I were from the same university,” said Adam. When he said this, Madeline could see a youthful bright spark in his eyes.“We were in the same faculty. She was cheerful and gorgeous, so she was the most popular girl in the entire faculty while I was her senior. We always did experiments together and even went to the library to read together. I know the person she loved was Felipe, but that man did not love her.”Adam said calmly. There was no resentment nor repulsion toward Felipe in his words. On the other hand, there was a slight smile on his face.“I was surprised when Cathy suddenly came to find me in Glendale that time. I didn’t know you guys knew each other. I was happy to see her again because she left before she graduated from university. I didn’t have her contact, so I finally had a chance to contact her that time.“I knew she wasn’t happy, but she
“OMG!” Ada exclaimed. She acted as if she had just touched the God of Misfortune and threw the mask in her hand to the floor in disdain.“I thought you were some out-of-the-world beauty and that’s why Carty kept ignoring me. I didn’t expect you to look like this! No wonder you’re always wearing a mask. Oh gosh, you’re so hideous! No, you’re not hideous, you’re horrifying!”Ada did not keep any propriety in her speech at all. She kept on waving her hand.“Somebody come here! Get me some disinfectant! I just touched this person’s mask and I don’t know if I might get infected!”“I think so,” Madeline uttered those three words slowly from her lips.Ada was taken aback when she heard that. “What did you say?”“I was answering your question,” Madeline replied seriously, “My face is so horribly disfigured and there might still be a lot of toxic bacteria on it. You ripped my mask just now, so I think you must’ve touched the bacteria on the mask too. You must be careful.”“...” Ada’s exp
Madeline followed behind Carter and started to feel nervous.This man was still a mystery to her. In addition to that, she had no idea why he wanted to investigate Jeremy.Now, he had said something so weird and Madeline had no clue what was going on.After walking for a bit, Madeline followed him to the French window on the second floor.The window was huge, so one could get a nice view here.When Madeline looked out, she saw a familiar car parked outside the front door of the manor.‘Jeremy!’Madeline screamed out his name in her heart. However, she could only pretend to be confused on the surface.“Mr. Carter, you said you’re taking me to see the actual situation, so what’s the actual situation?”Carter looked at Madeline’s confused face and lifted his dark eyes. Then, his gaze landed on Jeremy’s car.“Do you not see the car parked outside the door?” he asked, his voice sounding nonchalant. “He followed you all the way here. Did you not notice him?”“...” Madeline shook h
When he saw Madeline’s bustling figure, he did not plan to stop her and instead turned around to stand in front of the window again to look at the front door of the manor. Then, he turned on his Bluetooth earphones to listen to what was happening at the door.Madeline went out of the door after a while. She pretended to not see Jeremy but Jeremy stopped his car next to her.She looked over in fake surprise and pretended to be shocked. “Mr. Whitman? Why are you here?”Jeremy did not say anything. Instead, he got out of the car and opened the passenger seat for Madeline. “Get in.”“...” Madeline hesitated for a few seconds and did not know what to do. She looked at the French window where she was at just now with the corner of her eyes before getting into the car.The more familiar she used to be with this passenger seat, the more touched she felt now.She looked cautiously at the rear-view mirror. When she made sure no one was following her, she let out a sigh of relief in secret.
