Chapter 3

Upon hearing my words, Henry was first stunned before he snickered.

“Your father wanted me crippled forever. Violet has already given me the first seven doses. She has always been the one who’s saving me.”

Violet teared up in “sadness.” “Luna, you can choose not to forgive me, but you can’t lie to Henry.”

I glared at her. “Swear it, then. If any of what you said is a lie, you will die.”

The sound of a slap rang out. Then, Henry grabbed my swollen face and said, “Do you really hate the idea of me getting better? You’re just as selfish and snobbish as your father.”

Henry then forced me to slap myself in the face while apologizing to Violet before shoving his phone into my face. “You care about your father’s work, don’t you? I’m going to ruin him right now.”

Henry had gotten someone to falsely claim that my father stole Violet’s research results.

The only way to prove my father’s innocence was already burnt to a crisp.

I stared at the ashes of the papers, and as the embers died, the last remaining bit of love I had for Henry died as well.

Once the video was uploaded, it led to a major commotion in the scientific world.

Many people who looked up to my father started insulting him with the vilest words. Some even gathered together groups of people to throw trash at my father’s grave.

I was so furious that I started crying.

‘I’m sorry, Dad. I’m a bad daughter. I can’t protect anything you value,’ I thought.

Henry had also dragged me to the operating table. I felt him touch my face and say to the doctor, “Transfer the skin here to Violet’s hand.”

“Sir, your wife is allergic to anesthesia.”

“Then, don’t use it. Remember. No matter what, don’t leave behind any scars on Violet’s hand.”

There was no emotion in Henry’s voice.

The pain in my face made me drift in and out of unconsciousness. I could feel someone using a knife to cut my face.

The pain jolted me awake, and I felt as if every part of my face had been cut by a knife.

I heard Henry’s angry voice.

“How is she supposed to show her face now that you’ve ruined it?”

Violet sobbed sadly. “I was just worried that you wouldn’t want me anymore. I was just so jealous of Luna that I went mad. I’m sorry. I’ll cut my face up as an apology to her.”

Henry grabbed her hand with resignation in his eyes. “That’s enough. I’m not blaming you for this. Just don’t do it again.”

I staggered over to the mirror and saw that my originally smooth face was covered in ugly scars.

In my despair, I grabbed a pair of scissors and lunged at Violet, but Henry just frowned and shielded Violet while comforting me. “Violet was just throwing a tantrum. Don’t hold this against her. I’ll get the best doctors to treat you. Put the scissors down.”

The doctors and nurses also stood in front of me and shielded Violet.

Rage burned in my eyes, but I suddenly started laughing like a maniac.

“You’re going to suffer the consequences for your actions, Henry.”

When he saw my crazed state, Henry just looked annoyed. “Stop throwing a tantrum already, Luna.”

He then had the medical officers inject me with a tranquilizer.

As I started falling unconscious, I heard Violet’s smug giggles.

“Violet, even after I made you so ugly, Henry still refuses to blame me. It looks like he loves me. Do you really think that I can’t make the last dose after your father died? Tomorrow, I’m going to ask Henry to divorce you and marry me. We’re going to have a grand wedding. When that day arrives, I’m going to make you watch.”
