Elyette look at him and said directly, “You all don‘t need to accompany me.”
Ben scratched his head. “It‘s not only to accompany you. My parent‘s house is too cold. They are on a vacation on a tropical island right now! I don‘t want to be their third wheel.”
Elyette said, “Your parents have such a good relationship, why don‘t you get married?”
Ben sighed. “If I get married, that means I have to bear a huge responsibility. I think being single is quite good. I get to have fun with whomever I want.”
“You still can‘t get over Chelsea, right?” Elyette thought for a while and told him, “Chelsea‘s face is ruined. She should still be in the hospital.”
“I know, I want to visit her, but I‘m afraid she can‘t take it. She must surely not want to see anyone right now.” Ben smiled mockingly. “I used to admire her a lot, but that was in the past. After she used me to go up against Averie, she no longer has a place in my heart.”
Elyette picked his cup of coffee up and had a sip.
“Sometimes, I think that time is cruel. Not only will it change our environment, but it also changes our hearts,” Ben teased, “But don‘t worry, I will never betray you.”
“You got it the other way around,” Elyette corrected him, “It‘s because people change, which is why the environment changes according to it.”
“You‘re right. Thinking that one could be friends forever, yet they become enemies in a blink of an eye,” Ben said helplessly, “At least the terrible year is coming to an end! Next year will be better!”
“Our financial report is not that bad,” Elyette comforted him.
“Haha! Yes! I‘m going to get fireworks! We‘ll have fireworks in your courtyard throughout the entire night!” Ben chuckled and left.
At the hospital.
Charlie was discharged that day. He has decided to head home to recuperate. Chelsea was asked to discharge as well, to leave together with him, but Chelsea was unwilling to do so.
If she could, she hoped that she could stay in the hospital forever. That way, she did not need to face her ugly face.
Charlie sat in the wheelchair. He looked at Chelsea on the bed coldly.
“Chelsea, only your face is ruined. There is nothing to fear,” Charlie said relaxedly, “Let me see what your face has turned into.”
Chelsea‘s injured left face was wrapped in bandages.
She refused to let the doctors unwrap the bandages or even change them.
“No! Charlie! Don‘t force me!” Chelsea‘s tensed body started to tremble.
Charlie glanced at the two bodyguards by the side. “Pin her down.” Then, he instructed the doctor, “Unwrap her bandages!”
The bodyguards disregard Chelsea‘s struggle, pinning her to the bed.
The doctor quickly walked over and unwrapped Chelsea‘s bandages.
Chelsea has been crying every day. She refused to change her bandages, so not only did her face not heal, but it had turned worse.
Disgusting blood and body fluids mixed together. It was a terrifying sight to behold! No one dared to look at it straight!
Charlie looked at the wound on her face. He was stunned for a while before mocking, “Chelsea, oh, Chelsea! Even beggars on the streets are better than you!”
Charlie‘s words broke Chelsea‘s heart. Not only did he humiliate her with words, but he also got someone to bring a mirror over, forcing her to see how scary her face was!
After seeing the wounds on her face, Chelsea was silent.
Then, she let out a maniacal laugh!
Her right face was still smooth and exquisite, but her left face was mulch. It was as if some parts of it were missing, half of her face was caved in!
Her wound was much uglier than she had imagined! A million times uglier!
Her ego was badly wounded. All the grievance she received in the past was not as great as the harm her wounded face brought to her!
No wonder the brother that loved her the most in the past would suddenly have a change of attitude.
Even her mother, Jeanette, could not help but take a step back after seeing the wound on her face.
“Charlie, you get discharged first!” Jeanette retracted her gaze. She did not want to spend another second longer there. “If she wants to stay in the hospital, let her be! You don‘t have to deal with her.”
“Mom, how heartbreaking is it to say this in front of her! Although she is an ugly one right now, I will never forget how pretty she was in the past.” Charlie looked at Jeanette and smiled.
After they left, the doctor cleaned the wound on Chelsea‘s face and wrapped it up in bandages once more.
“Miss Tierney, although your face is ruined, you should be glad you‘re alive.” The doctor took pity on Chelsea‘s situation. “As long as you‘re alive, your possibilities are endless. If you‘re dead, there is nothing you can do anymore. Beauty is not the basis of a person‘s success.”
Chelsea looked at the doctor coldly. “That‘s because the person who got humiliated is not you
“How do you know I haven‘t been humiliated before?” The doctors said politely, “If you want to discharge, I can prescribe you some medicine. You need to change your bandages three times a day.”
“I want to stay here. I don‘t want to go home!”
“You‘ll get sick easily if you stay here,” The doctor said, “I advise you to go home and recuperate.”
“Hehe! Fine! I‘ll get discharged! Are you happy now! Anyway, I won’t dare to die. I have to face reality sooner or later!” Chelsea flipped the covers aside and got down from the bed.
On the way back in the taxi, Chelsea thought a lot. She used to think that Elyette was mean to her. However, at that moment, she missed Elyette a lot. Elyette treated her much better than her mother. He was much better than her brother and might look like he loved her, but he was only after her pretty looks.
She was the foolish one for messing it all up.
When she returned home, she was Charlie and their father happily discussing something. Chelsea was stunned.
Charlie‘s home was set on fire. His legs were crippled. He should be in pain and depression. How could he still laugh?
“Dad, Charlie, I‘m home.” Chelsea walked over to them and interrupted their conversation.
Frank, Chelsea‘s father, cast her a condescending glance. He ignored her.
Charlie saw her and his smile vanished. “Didn‘t you want to come back? What made you come to your senses? Chelsea, although your life is ruined, all you need to do is to care for our parents. I will surely still feed you.”
Chelsea forced her tears back. She said docilely, “Charlie, I will listen to Mom and Dad in the future, and you, too.”
“Hmm. Are you wondering why I‘m in such a good mood?” Charlie could see what was on her mind through her gaze.
“Charlie, I hope that you can defeat Elyette. If not, what if he bullies us again?” Chelsea lowered her gaze and said worriedly, “This time, my face is ruined, you broke your leg. If there is a next time…”
“There will not be a next time!” Charlie barked fiercely. “I have gotten a grip on Elyette! If he dares to do anything, I will expose him!”
Chelsea nodded and returned to her room.
In the evening, at Elyette‘s mansion. After dinner, Elyette received a message on his phone. It was from Mike.
(I‘m taking the kids to Bridgedale tonight. Layla told me to send you a text.)
Elyette read the message. His creased brows relaxed. He replied, (Safe travels.]
