Wenzi was lying in the ambulance. Sirens kept ringing beside my ears.From the non-stop bumping of the car, Wenzi knew that it was galloping on the road at high speed.The night scene flying back from both sides of the car has nothing to do with me. Wenzi felt burning pain from face to neck.The relentless jolt of the car made the pain worse.After the nurse in the car made emergency treatment, her eyes were covered with thick gauze. Father stood by.Nurses are taking Fumiko's wrist to check her pulse. One face was destroyed and ugly.The skin was burned and bloody.Even when healed, scars remain.In her mind, the images of keloids on the faces of atomic bomb victims she had seen in the past could not help but pop up.

If it is not done well, there is a risk of blindness.The eyeballs burned like sparks bursting into them.From now on, I will bid farewell to ink painting.The press will be dismissive of itself.Who would favor an ugly woman who couldn't draw anything?She knows better than anyone that one of the reasons why she has become the darling of the press is her beauty. Of course, she would never admit this in front of others.She even scorns and ridicules those who think so.The harder she tried to deny it, the more it showed that she deeply understood this point. The face of her opponent Kazuko Takimura appeared before her eyes again.She had a nonchalant, cold and indifferent look on her face.If she knew about it, she would laugh at herself loudly.Because from now on, Ke Shouzi will be alone in the world.

She seemed to hear the ridicule of newspapers, weekly magazines, monthly magazines, and all the propaganda tools. Heitaro's hesitant figure is still in her memory. When sulfuric acid was sprinkled on her face and she lay down in pain, Heitaro was the first to come up to take care of her.He was extremely embarrassed, and asked kindly in a trembling voice, are you okay?Are you okay?The angry father came up and pushed him away. Heitaro walked back and forth in front of the house as she was carried into the ambulance.At first it seemed that he decided to get into the car, but in the end he avoided it.

"You are so vicious!" the father said, "I want to sue you! The child has been destroyed like this, I must not remain silent! Appearance is the lifeblood of a woman, and destroying a woman's appearance is as serious as murder!" The former lieutenant general, with a trembling white beard, cried out in despair. "Can't sue!" Wenzi stopped his father.Her eyes were covered with gauze, and her eyes were dark. "Never report it to the police." This is not because she sympathizes with Heitaro, nor is it because she cannot forget his past kindness.

Once the police were reported, word spread quickly.It's just too scary.Now you can still think of a way not to spread it.When the ambulance came, the mother said to the people who came, "She was going to clean the toilet and slipped and fell in the hallway with the bottle of acid. At this time, the bottle cap came off and the acid spilled on her face." Mother is pretty smart.Yes, we must always insist on what my mother said. You can't let Heitaro follow you.This incident must be described as an accident from beginning to end, caused by my own carelessness.The pain intensified, as if a red-hot poker was directly placed on the face, and a ball of fire seemed to be burning in the eyes.

The car stopped, as if to the hospital.There was a lot of voices in my ears. Although it was late at night, it seemed that they had called beforehand, and immediately heard the footsteps of many people.Wenzi was put on a stretcher.She was still blindfolded, lying with her legs bent. She felt her body leaning, as if she were walking up the stairs.She was carried into a ward on the second floor. She felt the doctor's hands undo the emergency bandages.The skin became more painful under the stimulation of the cold air. Occasionally, the doctor's fingertips touched it like a needle prick, and the gauze was removed.The bright light cast a ball of fire on the face as well.

"What happened?" It was the voice of a young doctor, and the father beside him replied: "I slipped and fell, and the cork of the bottle in my hand fell off..." He said the same thing as my mother said. There were many people around the bed, it seemed that they were all nurses.When they moved, Wenzi felt the wind blowing on his face.Sensation in the face becomes extremely neurotic. Wenzi heard the voice of a woman snickering.It must have been her father's answer that made her laugh. The fact that the liquid was flowing on half of her face and neck proved that her father's answer just now was a lie.Wenzi felt an unbearable humiliation.

"Doctor, are your eyes okay?" father asked softly. The doctor rolled up the eyelids with two fingers. "ow!" Wenzi blurted out.Tears prevented her from seeing the doctor's face clearly. "Ah, maybe it doesn't matter." The doctor made a general pledge. "Wash your eyes right away." The doctor immediately issued an order, and the guards walked around in slippers. "Will there be scars on the face?" The doctor didn't answer right away, looking carefully at the burned skin. "Probably not in the way... Surgery is very advanced now."

"Operation?" In the end it was necessary to have surgery.A feeling of despair brought Wenzi into the dark abyss. Heitaro is so hateful.It was unreasonable for this uneducated man to put himself in such a situation.A few days ago, Heitaro had sent someone to threaten him with a bottle of sulfuric acid, but at that time he always thought that he would not do such a murder.This time he lay in wait for him to return home late at night, probably because it was too late and he was so angry that he fainted. She thought again, Ichizawa Yongliang, who had just broken up, didn't know anything about the accident, which was too unfair.He suffered so much, but he returned home to sit back and relax.He is also half responsible for falling into this situation.It would be abominable that he should not have come here.

"How long will it take to fully heal?" Father questioned the doctor. "Well, it will take about a month." "Is the face still as pretty as it used to be?" "Well, I think it can be recovered to a certain extent." The doctor was afraid that the patient would hear it, so he answered with some apprehension.Wenzi chewed on the meaning of the phrase "to a certain extent".Even saying that in front of the patient, it is conceivable that the injury is quite severe. "In short, we will conduct emergency treatment immediately. Formal treatment will be carried out tomorrow."

The father expressed his sincere request to the doctor.Wenzi called his father over. "Don't call anyone while I'm in the hospital." She whispered in her father's ear, "Change the name of the hospital for me." Father nodded yes. "Besides, I want to find someone. Can I meet Mr. Ichisawa tomorrow?" She thought that the only person she could rely on now was Ichizawa Yongliang.Regarding Heitaro Nagamura, she told her father, "Never sue him for this."
