Thinking of what she did to Cindy Leigh, I instantly realize that the liquid is sulphuric acid!<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s too late for me to dodge away.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t want to be disfigured! And I don\u2019t want to go blind or anything like that.<\/p>\n<p>I block with my arms and close my eyes in fear.<\/p>\n<p>But the pain and feeling of burning doesn\u2019t come as expected.<\/p>\n<p>A deep and painful man\u2019s voice is heard beside me.<\/p>\n<p>And the surrounding crowd exclaims.<\/p>\n<p>What happened?<\/p>\n<p>I open eyes confusedly, only seeing that one of the men sent by Steven is blocking in front of me.<\/p>\n<p>He silently takes all this for me.<\/p>\n<p>With his back facing me, although I can\u2019t see his expressions, I can feel he is painful and miserable from his slowly crouching body and wailing.<\/p>\n<p>I know very well that what Whitney splashes is sulphuric acid. That is to say, the man saved me is disfigured or even worse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sorry. I\u2019m so sorry. You shouldn\u2019t have done this for me. I\u2019ll send you to the hospital soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I walk up and hold him, full of guilty and shame.<\/p>\n<p>Although I know how horrible sulphuric acid is, but I\u2019m still deeply shocked when I see his badly burnt face beyond recognition.<\/p>\n<p>But Whitney blocks my way. She tugs at my hand and says coldly, \u201cJane, you won\u2019t feel it\u2019s lucky that you just hurt your ear. Frances always pursues perfection. Even the slightest flaw is fatal to you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even now all in her mind is how to calculate between me and Frances. She is really hopeless!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you insane?! I have nothing to do with Frances now. Why can\u2019t you just get out of my life?! Getting married or divorced, it\u2019s your business. What does it have to do with me? Can you please stop involving me between you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHave nothing to do with you?! If it\u2019s not for you, how can he divorce me?! And now you are still playing nice and angling for sympathy? You\u2019re nothing but a shameless bitch that stole my husband. Everybody\u2019s here, I hope you all can see clearly what kind of person this woman is. Be careful that she would seduce your husbands!\u201d she sneers and speaks to the surrounding crowd.<\/p>\n<p>It seems that they\u2019ve forgotten how horrible Whitney was just now when she splashes sulphuric acid, and they shoot their sight at me in disgust.<\/p>\n<p>This is the society. The one steps into others\u2019 marriage is always to be condemned.<\/p>\n<p>But of course I will never say that I\u2019m completely innocent or virtuous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-294","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
