Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1580
“Larry, there’s something I wanna ask you,” stated Joan as she thought of something.
“Go ahead.” Larry looked at her.
“Why don’t you have a single scare on your body even though you were in the special forces for so long?”
Joan had always been curious about the lack of battle scars on Larry’s body, but she had been too shy to ask previously. Now that she had the opportunity, she brought it up.
“You can’t laugh at me if I tell you,” said Larry as he looked embarrassed.
He had been trying to avoid being asked about this by Joan, but it seemed that he had to tell her now.
“Of course, I won’t laugh at you! Tell me,” Joan promised seriously.
That’s if it’s not particularly funny, Joan added inwardly.
“Upon my discharge, I went to the hospital for surgery to remove all the scars.”
Larry stole a glance at Joan, wanting to see her reaction.
“Why did you want to remove them? I thought scars are the medals for men? Why did you want to get rid of them on purpose?” Joan asked, feeling more perplexed.
“Because I’m such a perfect man. I don’t want to have any scars on my body. They are too ugly!”
Larry gritted his teeth and finally told the truth.
“So you’re saying you removed the scars because you’re a neat freak?”
Joan could not help but widen her eyes in disbelief. What a weird reason.
“Yeah.”
