Yvonne didn't expect Sue to say something like that.
For a moment, she didn't know how to respond.
When Sue saw her in a daze, her old eyes grew brighter. "Because Miss Smith, you care about me, right?"
"Ah, what?" Yvonne's eyes flashed as she pretended not to understand.
Sue laughed and said, "Madam, stop pretending, I know it's you."
Yvonne's pupils trembled slightly, and she pursed her lips. "Sue, you..."
"Stop telling me that I have made a mistake." Sue interrupted her. There were obvious signs of aging on her face, and she said with a serious look, "I know I didn’t make a mistake from the beginning. You're madam, because only madam wouldn't try to lie to me and would care about an old lady like me."
Yvonne opened her mouth and was suddenly speechless.
Had she been exposed?
It was all because she did not want to lie!
"Madam." Song Auntie stretched out her hand to hold Yvonne's hand. "Just admit it. Your expression says everything." 1
Yvonne sighed and pulled her hand away.
Sue smiled.
She knew that sigh meant madam was admitting it.
"Madam..." Sue called Yvonne as she choked up.
Yvonne's nose twitched as emotions flooded her. "You got me, Sue. You win. I admit I am Yvonne."
"I knew it, I knew it!" When Sue heard Yvonne’s confession with her own ears, she couldn't help but embrace Yvonne excitedly. "Madam, you're not dead! You came back."
"Yes, I'm back." Yvonne hugged Sue back.
Sue cried, "Madam, where have you been for the past six years? Since you're alive, why didn't you come back?"
Yvonne patted her back lightly and didn't answer her questions.
Sue cried for a while, and then finally stopped. After releasing Yvonne, she held Yvonne’s face and looked closely. "Madam, what’s the matter with your face?"
"I made some changes," Yvonne replied casually, touching the mole at the corner of her eye.
But Sue noticed the hatred that flashed in her eyes.
Sue felt distressed. "It's not that simple, right? I know you well, madam. If it weren't for an accident, you wouldn't have done anything to your face."
"Sue..." Yvonne smiled bitterly. "Sure enough, you know me best."
"So something really happened?" Sue raised her voice.
Yvonne nodded lightly. "Yes. Six years ago, my face was disfigured, and it was reconstructed to this face."
"What?" Sue was surprised by her words and stood up. "Disfigured? Madam, what happened?"
Yvonne hesitated for a moment and got up. She took off her top, revealing her pale waist.
Sue didn't know what she was doing until Yvonne turned around. Sue's eyes widened suddenly, and her eyes were filled with horror. "This... This is..."
"It's a burn!" Yvonne said calmly.
Sue reached out with her trembling hand and touched the large scar on the back of her waist.
The scar was a dark color. It was dark red, distorted, and it felt uneven when she touched it. It looked so horrifying that one would get goosebumps seeing it.
But Sue did not find it ugly, she was just concerned. "It must’ve hurt, right?"
