Cole could clearly see that the areas on Nora's face that the liquid had touched were turning red and festering.
He took a few steps back in fear, then stammered, "Don't be scared, Nora! I’ll... I'll call an ambulance right away!"
The other customers in the restaurant scurried away in horror, and the restaurant's staff hurried over to check on the situation.
Their faces turned pale with terror when they saw Nora's face.
Nora's face was covered in tears from the pain. Through her vision blurred by tears, she saw the fear in the eyes that were focused on her. She removed her trembling hands from her face and looked at them... There was blood... There was also what looked like pieces of flesh...
As if she had gone insane, she let out a blood-curdling scream.
Avery was eating ice cream when she got Cole's phone call.
The restaurant's food was great, and their ice cream was even better.
Avery always watched what she ate, but the ice cream was so good that she could not help but take a few more bites.
"It's horrifying, Avery! My entire body is shaking! I'm sure I'll have nightmares tonight!" Cole's voice was frightened on the other end of the line. "If the person sitting in front of me just now was you... I wonder what you would do."
Avery's hands tightened around her phone. "What happened? Don't tell me... Someone's dead?"
Tammy's eyes shot up to her in alertness when she heard Avery's words.
Over the phone, Cole took a sharp breath, then said, "It's not that, but I think this is even scarier. Nora was disfigured! All it took was a few minutes for her face to be completely disfigured!"
Avery felt a strange stinging sensation on her face.
It was not that she felt bad for Nora, but she was astonished at Chelsea's overly cruel tactics!
"Chelsea is terrifying! You should watch your back from now on, Avery! Don't say I didn’t warn you!" Cole was gasping for breath, then added, "Nora's already been sent to the hospital. I need to go give a statement at the police station now. I'm guessing Chelsea will come looking for me once I'm done.”
