Chapter 1455
Madeline widened her eyes. She could not begin to accept that the woman in the mirror was herself.
Her face was wrapped in a heavy layer of gauze. She could not see an inch of her skin aside from her eyes.
Her face…
Madeline felt as if her legs had been injected with lead. They felt so heavy that she could not move an inch.
She lifted her hands and slowly touched her cheek. She could not believe that her face might have been ruined beyond recognition.
“Miss, are you alright?” the young maid next to her asked in concern.
Madeline lowered her trembling hands and turned to look at the maid. “My face…”
She wanted to ask, but after saying those two words, she realized that her voice sounded so hoarse like it was sandpaper dragging across a table.
“Your face was hurt pretty badly. Dr. Lane said that it’ll take a long time to recover but don’t worry, Dr. Lane is an amazing doctor, so you’ll definitely recover.” The maid comforted Madeline gently and kindly.
However, Madeline felt as if she had fallen into an icy lake. The unbearable cold was slowly seeping into her bone marrow.
She felt as if all of her energy had been sucked dry at that instant. Suddenly, her legs weakly gave out under her.
The maid quickly supported her. “Stop overthinking. You’ll get better.”
‘You’ll get better.’
Madeline felt that those three words seemed extremely extravagant now.
When she saw her extremely swollen face through her dazed and teary eyes, she could approximately guess the level of the injury on her face.
