"Your face will probably feel itchier for two more weeks. It happens when the wounds are healing. The traditional medicines are working their charm. But never scratch with your hand. You need to bear with it."
"Yes, I understand."
After she removed the gauze, Anna Xu prepared a few large-sized face masks that could totally cover more than half of Linda's face. It helped that her face was small.
Once she wore the face mask, Linda realized she could go out without attracting much attention. The only visible marks are the two scars on her forehead.
But Anna still found the two scars on Linda's forehead unnerving.
Linda put on a face mask, as well as a jacket with a hood. Everything seemed fine.
"My Lady, let me introduce you to the Nalan clan and show you around the mansion!" Nelson Li said.
In the last few days, Nelson Li had been following Lord Nalan on his visits to Linda. Linda has heard Richard Nalan calling him young Nelson. At first, she assumed that he belonged to the Nalan clan and was of her same generation. So she called him Nel.
But she found out later that Nelson was the butler of the Nalan clan. He had always been at Richard's service. Nevertheless, she kept on calling him Nel. For Linda, status was not a big deal.
"Ok, Nel. Sorry to trouble you."
Nelson smiled. He liked Linda even more now. He felt that she was very different from the other ladies of the clan, who were were haughty, temperamental, unruly and obnoxiously arrogant.
When Linda stepped outside, she still felt the chill. It might be because of the thin clothes. Besides, she was still in recovery mode and her body was still sensitive to the cold temperature. So Linda asked Anna for a coat.
"Anna, do you have something warmer to put on? I feel a bit cold."
"My Lady, my coat is in the laundry now. I only have a cotton coat usually worn by the Nalan clan's servants. Do you want it?"
"That's fine. As long as it's warm."
Anna then went inside and fetched a white coat which had a hood attached to it. Linda put the coat on along with its hood. Now she felt warm. She then followed Nelson.
