NovelAppChapter 683: A Monster In The Shape Of A Human
From the window, one could see the sky outside darkening as rain clouds gathered, covering the bright sun.The woman in the
ward looked as gloomy as the dark sky.She suffered from an inner storm.
"Don't you want to explain yourself?" Brandon's eyes, which were trained on her, were as sharp as an eagle's.
Charis swallowed uneasily.Brandon's question was straightforward.
Apparently, he had already talked to Jbefore they came.
Charis wasn't sure what Jhad told Brandon, but she doubted Jhad any evidence of her past crimes.
Therefore, it was likely that Jdidn't tell Brandon everything.
Otherwise, Brandon wouldn't have been so gracious as to give her a chance to explain herself.
In fact, he might not have visited her at all.
Since Charis had figured this out, she knew what to do next.She pretended to be angry and asked pointedly, "Why don't you trust
me? I've never lied to you! Brandon, I described your relationship with Jonly from the perspective of an outsider.Didn't I tell
you before? You never talked toabout your relationship with her.If you didn't tellanything, how could I have known
whether or not you two had a good relationship? Now, I realize that I must've misunderstood your relationship.иσνєℓєвσσк.
you didn't like her either."
Charis's explanation was somewhat convincing.It was true that Brandon didn't talk about his private affairs with others.
But Charis was an intelligent woman with a discerning eye.She should've seen the relationship between Brandon and Jfor
what it really was.
Which meant that she wasn't telling the whole truth.
Still, it was difficult for Brandon to tell which part of her words was true and which part was not.They had known each other for
years.
Thus he still trusted in Charis somewhat.
As for Janet, Brandon could only feel that there was ssort of a special bond between them.
But every the tried to recall something related to her or their past together, he'd get a splitting headache that would debilitate
his thinking.
"Indeed, I'm not good at expressing myself."
Brandon fell silent for a moment.
After a while, he stood up and said, "All right.Get srest.I have go back to work.I'll visit you another time."
Although what he said wasn't out of character, his eyes were as cold as ice.No matter how hard she tried, Charis couldn't read
him.So she simply forced a smile in response.She could see that although Brandon had stopped questioning her, he didn't trust
Not long after Brandon and Jleft, Charis's attending doctor entered the ward with several nurses.
The doctor glanced at Luke and then said to Charis, "Miss Turner, the gauze can be removed today."
Charis had been in the hospital for a long tnow.Because her burns were severe, the doctor never talked about removing the
gauze until she had calmed down.
After all, in his experience, many burn patients just broke down as soon as they saw their disfigured faces.
Charis was nervous.Her whole face and body had been covered in gauze since she woke up.She couldn't see how bad it really
was and therefore hadn't really mentally prepared herself for the fact that she was disfigured.
Standing beside the bed, Luke said in a fatherly tone, "Only after checking the wounds can the doctor decide the treatment plan
for the next stage."
"Okay."
Charis slowly squeezed her eyes shut and lay still.She could feel the nurses slowly peel layer upon layer of gauze off her body.
Then she heard someone gasping.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмCharis slowly opened her eyes, only to find her mother crying in her father's
arms.The doctor and the nurses also looked at her in shock.
There was even a trace of pity and fear in their eyes.
Charis slowly turned her head to look at the mirror in the ward.
The reflection staring back at her didn't look like human at all.She looked like a monster in the shape of a human.
Not a single part of her skin was intact, and her face was beyond recognization.
The large black scabbing all over her body looked like a pangolin's shell.
In the blink of an eye, Charis's self-esteem was shattered.She started scratching at the scabs on her face like a madwoman and
screamed at the top of her lungs hysterically.
