Chapter 312Chapter 312
The woman that looked worse than a ghost was…herself?
If the background was not the hospital and the woman in the photo was not carrying a bouquet of
roses, also how they were being surrounded and photographed in the hospital a moment ago, Meredith
would not have thought that it was her.
She instinctively raised her hand to touch the left side of her face. She previously felt that something
was off with the left side of her face but because there were no mirrors at the hospital and no one told
her about it, she did not have the chance to get to the bottom of it.
At that moment, she saw the photos. The bumps of her scars on her face was like an electric shock to
her. She immediately retracted her hand. “No, no….” Meredith shook her head. “I do not look like that.
I‘m not that ugly…”
Meredith muttered to herself to console herself, yet she involuntarily turned her head
to look at over at the mirror.
Looking at the huge mirror, she could not muster the courage to walk over to have a
look.
She was afraid. If she was really that ugly, what was going to happen?
However, she did not feel comfortable if she did not look in the mirror. In the end, she got up from the
sofa and walked over to the mirror…
Josiah was on a call when he heard Meredith‘s screams. His expressions instantlychanged. He threw the phone aside and rushed to the bedroom.
Lily heard it too. She rushed upstairs as well.
“What happened?” Josiah furrowed his brows and asked.
Lily shook her head. “I don‘t know. I just heard it.”
Josiah pushed the door open and saw Meredith bending down in front of a mirror.
She was hugging her head with both hands, shrieking.
“Edith, Edith, what happened?” Josiah went over and hugged her in his arms. “Don‘t worry. Don‘t be
afraid. I‘m here.”
For the past few days, Meredith occasionally would go berserk like this, but nothing
as serious as at that moment.
Meredith clutched her cheeks with both hands. She shook her head. “That is not me. That is not me. I
do not look like that.”
“Edith…” Turns out, she has forgotten about her face being ruined too.
Josiah patted her on her shoulders, heartbroken. He tried to comfort her. “It‘s fine.
Your face was ruined because of an accident. It will get better.”
“No! I do not want to look like this!” Meredith looked up with tears streaming down her face.” Joe. I‘m
pretty. They used to say that I was pretty. I don‘t look like this.” “I know. You‘re the prettiest, Edith.” “But
why would I become like this? Why?”Why…
Josiah was at a loss for words. Was he to tell her that he was the one who made her this way?
novelbinIf she knew she was hurt by him, would she lose it even more? Would she be even more upset?
In the end, he did not tell her about it.
“Edith.” Josiah hugged her tightly with one arm while lifting her face with the other hand,” Didn‘t I tell
you just now? Because of an accident, your face was ruined.”
“What accident? Why was there an accident?”
Josiah did not dare to face her questioning gaze. He looked away a little. “A fire.”
“Why was there a fire?”
“Because…” Josiah sighed. “Edith, don‘t worry. I will treat your face.”
Tears fell from Meredith‘s eyes. She looked at him. “When? When will I get better?” “We have to
contact the hospital and ask the doctor to know.“
