Ceres turned and saw Roy.
She patted her chest and said, "You scared me so much!"
"Are you trying to slip away?" Roy smiled strangely at Ceres.
"I was caught by you, but according to our relationship, you won't stop me, right?" Ceres laughed.
Roy was instantly at a loss for words after hearing what Ceres said.
From the day Ceres said that she wanted to acknowledge Caleb as her godfather, Roy knew that Ceres would definitely think of a way to escape.
"I can choose not to stop you, but you have to tell me what you did not finish that day."
"What?"
"It's about the red spots on your face."
Ceres then remembered that day in the hospital, she had wanted to tell Caleb about the red spots on her face, but Jamie rushed over, so Ceres did not finish speaking. She did not expect that Roy still remembered it.
"Alright, but you have to keep your word!"
The two of them reached an agreement and sat by the garden.
"In fact, I have nothing to say about this red spot. It is all because of the jealousy of girls. I look very similar to Jamie, right? At that time, she was a bright and beautiful young lady. Her clothes were always more fashionable than mine and everyone praised her for being charming. However, many people said that we looked very similar and just lacked a few beautiful clothes like hers."
"Someone even said that if I dressed up carefully, I would definitely be prettier than her. Of course, Jamie would not allow me to overshadow her, so she secretly took the chemicals in the school home."
"She wanted to disfigure you?"
Ceres nodded.
Roy found that his palm was sweating. Such a young girl was actually so vicious.
I've been working in the Morris's for a long time because I was honest and industrious. An old maid especially liked me and always helped me. She said that my beautiful face would definitely harm me. So that night, she gave me a bottle of potion and smeared it on my face."
"Jamie thought that she had succeeded. My face had been wrapped in gauze for a long time. Finally, I removed the gauze and the red spots were left on my face. I said that these were the scars left behind after my skin recovered and could not be removed."
The servant also gave me a bottle of antidote. After I can live on my own, I can remove the scars on my face."
Ceres puffed up her cheeks as she said this, seemingly a little discouraged.
"Why don't you go on?"
"I don't know what happened after."
"You don't know either?" Roy looked at Ceres with confusion.
"Let me tell you the truth. I was hypnotized and lost all my memories with Johny, so I don't remember what happened after that. I don't remember how I left the Morris family, nor do I remember why I removed the red spots on my face."
Ceres looked so despondent when saying, "Jamie said that the spots on my face were removed because I wanted to marry Johny, but I don't remember it at all. I don't know if she lied to me. She also said..."
Roy did not interrupt but listened quietly.
"Forget it. It's just nothing," Ceres turned to look at Roy. "I'm done talking. Can you let me go now?"
"You haven't finished it yet."
"Hey, you only asked me about the red spots. I have already finished talking about the red spots. Now, you should keep your promise!"
Roy really didn't know how to retort. "Well, since you don't want to say it, I won't force you. However, I think there might be some misunderstanding between you and Johny. You two should talk with each other."
