Freya hastily defended herself by saying, “Moreover, I had utterly no idea that Miss McKinnon was standing right behind me when I made that remark at the time. I was only venting to my friend without her knowledge. Had I known that she was standing behind me, I wouldn’t have said so!”Kyran felt his head spinning upon hearing that. He inhaled a deep breath, shut his eyes, and thought about what Deirdre had told him yesterday. ‘Her expression and mannerisms were awful.‘So, it turns out that she was implying this.’He clenched his fists without his notice and felt his chest burning with fury. Kyran felt sad for Deirdre too because he knew she would be deeply saddened to hear those remarks.He opened his eyes once again. There was only boundless hatred in his deep, dark eyes. He looked at Freya as if he were looking at an extremely filthy piece of trash.“How dare you still speak so audaciously when you casually criticized and insulted someone’s appearance. Nurse Rene, aren’t yo

Deirdre walked over rigidly while Kyran raised his hand to wipe away the fine sweat on her face with a tissue.“Don’t be scared. I won’t force you to do anything against your will. We won't reconstruct your face if you don’t want to reconstruct it. It’s fine.”Deirdre felt a surge of warmth from the prolonged coldness she experienced and said softly, “Thank you.”She looked as distracted as before as Kyran held her icy cold fingers and tried to warm her up to the best of his abilities.“You have an inner demon, right?”Deirdre appeared to be overwhelmed with emotions.Kyran asked, “Can you tell me why you don’t want to reconstruct your face? What did the face do to you in the past?”Deirdre clenched her fists tightly and also held Kyran’s fingers tighter. After slightly relaxing, she did not answer his question but asked, “Kyran, why do you want to reconstruct my face out of nowhere?”She felt her heart wrench in pain, yet she forced a smile. “You find my face very terrifying a

Deirdre felt her heart racing. Even when she was already calm, she could still feel lingering fear in her heart.She nodded. Dr. Engle asked, “Did you not receive medical care after the injury? It’s apparent that the wounds were swollen and infected previously. Afterward, this resulted in the festering of the face. It’s no wonder that your whole face is destroyed even though there are only a few scars.”Deirdre clutched the hem of her top tightly without her notice and felt suffocated.She remembered being kept in the small, dark room of solitary confinement when she was in prison. The place was not only humid, but it also smelled terrible. The wounds on her face had begun to itch and fester in a few days. She had attempted to seek help because the infection felt extremely unpleasant, yet in return, the prison guard had berated her impatiently by saying, “You returned from the infirmary a few days ago. Why do you want to go again today? You think you’re some hot sh*t, right? Don

Deirdre was under the assumption that the company that Kyran mentioned was that he would keep her company from the bed, and she did not expect him to…She was rather concerned, yet she felt warm and fuzzy inside her. She said softly, “Don’t do that again in the future. The loss outweighs the gain if you get injured.”“Sure, I won’t do it next time.”Deirdre’s expression relaxed. “I’ll help you get back to the room.”One was having trouble walking, while the other could not see. They walked cautiously and ended up sweating by the time they got to the room. Kyran sounded like he was chuckling. Deirdre was confused. “Why are you chuckling?”“Nothing.” Kyran suppressed the urge to laugh and typed, “I felt that we were supporting each other to walk with hobbled steps earlier like how we would when we’re old.”Deirdre was stunned upon hearing the remark. ‘When we’re old? He is thinking about how we will be when we are old… Does he think we will still be together and support each

The man inhaled and said in a regretful tone, “It’s truly a…. You have such beautiful eyes.”Soon afterward, the man said, “Where are you going? Do you need my help to send you to the place you want to go?”“It’s fine.” Deirdre pondered closely and declined his offer. “I am used to this and can go by myself.”“Let me send you. The hospital is crowded. You might get turned around if someone were to knock you over, and you might be unable to tell where you are.”Deirdre was about to decline when she suddenly heard a phone’s mechanical voice coming from ahead of her. “Deirdre.”It was Kyran. Deirdre raised her head abruptly. The man’s arms wrapped around her, and the hug was tightened the next moment to protect her. Kyran seemed to be on guard and exuded hostility. The man did not even have time to react to the situation before Kyran took it upon himself to speak through the phone. “Why did you come back by yourself? I could have come for you.”He seemed to be declaring his poss
