Shirley was more sensitive to pain compared to ordinary people; a tinge of pain could consign her to agony.
The seriously injured girl was simply putting up with the pain, but the physical agony overwhelmed her. Streaks of tears streamed down her cheeks, soaking the bandage and dissolving in the wound.
The pain was that of someone rubbing salt on it.
Matthew hurriedly went out of the room to call for the doctor, who soon rushed over. The doctor asked the nurse to bring over a pair of scissors and urged, "Make way, please."
Skyler could not understand the hidden tongue, but he could grasp the situation thanks to the miniature translating device. He and Veronica made way for the medical staff.
The nurse stepped forward to bind Shirley's hands, whereas the doctor cut the bandage around her face to prevent the tears from infecting the wound.
The slitted bandage exposed her wound right in front of others.
Shirley's fair skin had always been flawless. In addition to her delicate and sweet features, she was definitely a looker; her engaging smile alone was enough to have one at hello.
Now, there was an appalling scar that stretched from her left cheek to her nose bridge. Even her brows were scratched!
The stitches sewed her red wound, turning it into a red and plump centipede. Her face was barely discernable; where had the pretty girl gone to?
Everyone was aware that Shirley received eighteen stitches. However, they could not help the goosebumps at the sight of the wound on her face.
With clenched fists, Skyler reined in the stirring turmoil in him. Meanwhile, Veronica and Matthew exchanged looks before he hugged her shoulder to push her into his embrace.
