Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 684

Charis was utterly horrified by what she saw. In a streak of madness, she started clawing at the skin on her face fiercely, as though she could tear the ugly skin off and throw it away.

Seeing that Charis was going crazy, the nurses and the doctor sprang into action and rushed to hold her down.

"Miss Turner, please calm down. This situation is very normal. You can still recover in time." The doctor gritted his teeth as he struggled to hold one of her arms down.

Anyone with a brain knew that he was just trying to console her.

There wasn't a hair left on Charis's disfigured head; they had all been burnt to a crisp. It was nothing more than a fantasy to think that she could ever recover from this and look the same as before.

No one knew where her explosive strength came from, but Charis somehow managed to shove all the nurses off of her and bolted to the door.

She couldn't stay here!

And she didn't want anyone to look at her as though she was a monster.

Just as Charis was about to reach the door, she bumped into Catherine, who had rushed over to block her way.

Seeing her daughter like this, Catherine's heart broke into a thousand pieces. She hurriedly threw her arms around Charis and held her tightly. "It's going to be okay, my baby. Once you've completely recovered, it won't be so bad. Then you can have surgery to remove the scars."

Maybe it was Catherine's gentle and patient voice that calmed Charis down.

She hugged her mother back tightly and burst into tears. In between sobs, she cried, "Mom, I'm a freak now. How can I face the world like this? Even if I have plastic surgery, things will never be the same."

She sobbed hysterically and went limp in Catherine's arms, unable to hold herself up.

Catherine was also grieving over her daughter's misfortune. She didn't have the strength to support her daughter on her own and the two of them collapsed to the ground. The motherdaughter duo held each other and wailed in anguish.

Catherine had always been a dignified and reserved woman who could keep her composure even if her husband's mistress showed up at her doorstep to stir up trouble. But now, she couldn't stop herself from crying hysterically in front of so many people.

"You'll still have Mom and Dad. No matter what happens, you're still our beautiful daughter." Tears streamed down Catherine's cheeks uncontrollably. She patted Charis on the back and comforted her softly, hiccupping in between breaths.

Charis's face was also covered in tears. Her burnt face contorted as she cried, making her look even more ugly. Desperate, she roared at the top of her lungs, "What's the point? Brandon won't love me anymore!"

In the past, Charis had always thought that she and Brandon were the perfect match.
