After Tan Ron left, Xue Lin wanted to chase after her, but she couldnât walk at all. She could only crawl out of the door.
The middle-aged womanâs heart ached. âMiss, donât move anymore. Letâs go and settle the hospitalization procedures quickly! Youâre going to have surgery tomorrow. Donât hurt yourself more.â
Xue Lin sat on the ground in a daze. She said in a hoarse voice, âAunt Juan, why am I so unlucky? Itâs fine if that idiot Hu Cheng was killed by the explosion, but why must I suffer along with him? My face, my legs, and the skin on my body are all scarred. Itâs too ugly!â
Aunt June gently hugged Xue Lin, âMiss, letâs not think about this, okay? Weâll go for the surgery tomorrow. Itâll definitely be effective this time.â
âItâs useless.â Xue Linâs eyes dimmed. âMy face hasnât recovered at all after so many surgeries. The doctor already said that thereâs no hope. What else do I have to think about?â
Aunt June had watched Xue Lin grow up. When Xue Lin was born, Aunt Juan had been the nanny of Xue Linâs house. She didnât have her own child, so she had always treated Xue Lin as her own daughter.
When Xue Lin was in trouble, her parents came to see her and helped her find the best doctor. Xue Linâs life was saved, but her throat was damaged. Her face and skin were all burnt and could not be recovered.
Xue Linâs parents no longer spent time on her and turned to raising other children. Aunt June was the only one who stayed by Xue Linâs side. Every two months, she would come to the hospital with Xue Lin and then undergo surgery to repair her face.
It was useless. They were just wasting money here but Xue Lin and Aunt June didnât give up. It was as if Xue Lin would lose the will to live if they gave up.
Aunt June pushed Xue Lin into the familiar ward. There was only Xue Lin here, so she didnât have to worry about being seen by others.
His own face. The room was dark, and the curtains were custom-made, so not much light could enter.
Xue Lin was a little tired after crying and making a scene. She lay on the bed to rest. When she closed her eyes, her mind started to go muddled and she suddenly returned to the day of the explosion.
She saw Hu Cheng, her team members, Tan Rou, Shang Jin, and the others. Tan Rou carried Shang Jin out. Xue Lin begged Tan Rou to take her out with her, but Tan Rou only glanced at her and kicked her aside.
âIâm sorry, I donât have time. Iâm in a hurry to pick up my brotherâ¦â Xue Lin heard Tan Rouâs words.
Then, Tan Rou said, âI want to send Senior Shang Jin to the hospital. I also want to give her the ointment that I just made. That ointment is very effective. As long as I apply a little, the injury on her face will recoverâ¦â
Then, she dreamed of her parents and others. Some said that she was hopeless, some laughed at the injury on her face, and some took off her mask and put a clear mirror in front of Xue Lin.
Xue Lin saw Tan Rou and then herself. Tan Rou was too beautiful, and he was too ugly.
âDonât look, I donât want to look!â Xue Lin woke up in shock. Sweat seeped out of her normal pores, wetting the white bedsheets.
Aunt June heard Xue Linâs voice and immediately came to her side, âMiss, did you have a nightmare again?â
Xue Lin changed for a while and then said calmly, âTan Rou, Tan Rouâ¦â Iâll definitely make her pay the price!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The depression and pain made Xue Lin unable to differentiate between reality and a dream. She seemed to have really seen Tan Rou not saving her when she saved Shang Jin and the others.
In fact, when Tan Rou saved Shang Jin, Xue Lin was already unconscious in the laboratory nearby. She had not seen Tan Rou since the beginning. However, she was already a little delirious, so she took those dreams seriously.
âAunt June, youâre the one who loves me the most, right?â Xue Lin took Aunt Juneâs hand, âYou will help me, right?â
Aunt June thought Xue Lin was talking about the treatment of the face, so she said, âMiss, I will always be by your side until your face recovers.â
Xue Lin shook her head and a strange smile appeared on her scarred face. âNo, Aunt June, Iâm not talking about that.â
âWhat do you mean by that?â Aunt June asked.
Xue Lin touched her face and said, âI want her to have a taste of being burned by fire. I want her face to be as ugly as mine!â
