Chapter 146: Why did you believe me so easily?
"About my mask," Micheal suddenly said, "The reason I wear it is because I have so much to hide."
"Hide? What are you hiding?"
"A scar. I... I have a very huge scar on my face and that is why I never take it off for any reason. I don’t want people looking at my scar."
Alice went silent. So, he was trying to hide his scar? What kind of scar?
"Was it a fire accident?" She asked but Micheal went silent.
"I don’t... Remember." He said, his arms squeezing tightly around her. "But it was dark and boiling. I’m certain I barely made it out alive, yet I don’t know how. It was before the apocalypse so..."
"Well, have you considered treating it now?" Alice asked him and broke the hug. "You could try using my elixir. I’m sure it would..." She stopped talking and pursed her lips.
Something told her he had tried it all, and none of them worked, and that was why he was always wearing the mask. It was so well made that no one could take a peek at what was behind it.
Micheal always looked so confident and was unbothered when people talked about his mask. He must’ve felt it would’ve been far more discomforting if they talked about his scar and preferred they talked about his mask.
In the first place, she thought he didn’t care about what other people had to say. But it turned out, he cared a lot.
This was rather... Sad.
