Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 359

As soon as Manley and Yuna stepped out, Teresa and Hayes returned to Hayes’ room, their hearts pounding with anxiety.

Suddenly, Teresa noticed something odd about the way Hayes was walking. He moved as if he was treading on thin ice, as if he was injured somewhere.

She quickly rolled up Hayes' sleeves and pant legs to look for any wounds, but found none.

Hayes, feeling uncomfortable, pushed Teresa aside, his neck stiff and silent.

Teresa was frantic, "Hayes! Are you hurt? Are you in pain somewhere?"

Hayes, his face flushed, awkwardly covered his bottom.

Teresa, quick to notice Hayes' furtive motion, rushed forward and pulled down Hayes' pants—His buttocks were covered with red marks! In some areas, blood was still oozing!

Caught off guard by Teresa yanking down his pants, Hayes was mortified. He instinctively wanted to pull his pants back up, but Teresa held on tight. For a moment, he didn't know whether to cover his front or his behind. He could only stand there, legs clamped together.

His movements were hilarious, but Teresa couldn't find it in her to laugh. She was so heartbroken that she burst into tears, "Little mute, I'm so angry! I'm furious! Why did they have to bully you?"

Hayes turned around and hastily wiped Teresa's tears, but as she cried, he too shed tears.

Yet he still tried to console Teresa, "Don't cry...Don't cry..."

Every time Hayes spoke, it only made Teresa cry harder, "Little mute, you can talk just fine, so why do you clam up when it matters most? You should have told your dad!"

Hayes turned around to grab a writing board to explain, but fearing his father might see, he ended up pulling out his phone to quickly type, "Mom was just looking out for me, and I shouldn't be so selfish. If I told Dad, he'd be stuck in the middle."
