Chapter 157: This body was too beautiful for that
Okay, welcome to my little classroom where I will explain some different kinds of burns.
Hm, no, let’s not do that. I don’t think any of that is important right now.
Let me just go straight to the point.
The kind of burn I suffered as a result of gradual exposure. Since I started with hot water, my skin was already family with the sensation of the water... Is that the right word? Let’s just go with that. And since my skin was already familiar with it, it didn’t pick up the increasing hotness on time, and so before I realized how much hotter the water was, I had already been scalded a great deal on my back, not just my neck.
And the reason I thought it was just my neck was because that was where the water hit most and that part was more severe than the rest of my back.
At present, I had my entire back swelling with a thick dark red shade that made it seem like I had been going under physical abuse for a very long time.
The sight... Was sickening.
"I... I didn’t know it was this bad." I said, turning my face away.
I couldn’t bear to look at it. It was too much.
If I knew it was this bad, I would’ve asked for help sooner. But it seemed like my prolonged stubbornness to keep it hidden just because I wanted to have baths on my own in the future had caught up to me.
This is why stubbornness never yields good results.
