“Why on earth are you still worried about the scars? Are your looks really that important when your life’s on the line?!”
Nathaniel’s eyes flashed fiercely. He growled, “How dare you scold me again?”
Sonny didn’t hesitate. He slapped himself again, causing his cheek to swell up grotesquely.
Nathaniel looked at Sonny darkly. Thinking that his boss wasn’t satisfied, Sonny was about to slap himself again, but Nathaniel finally said, “That’s enough.”
Sonny nodded, rubbing his swollen cheek.
His boss was such a ruthless idiot!
Now that Nathaniel solely focused on his pursuit of Lucinda, he didn’t take Sonny, a man who had gone through thick and thin with him, seriously.
Not knowing what was on Sonny’s mind, Nathaniel was expressionless.
He felt exhausted. Talking to Sonny had taken up the last of his strength, so he needed to lie back on the bed.
He wanted to treat the scars because he found that Lucinda seemed to be into manly figures, especially their abs and back muscles. If there were scars on his back, he would lose an advantage in pursuing her.
After Sonny helped him lie down, a hush fell over the ward.
Sonny stood there quietly, rubbing his swollen face.
Nathaniel lay on his side and soon fell asleep despite the searing pain.

It wasn’t until Abel returned that the silence was broken.
Abel was a little surprised to see Sonny in the ward. He put the food on the table and asked, “Sonny, when did you show up?”
Sonny glanced at him wordlessly.
When Abel approached, his eyes went as wide as saucers.
He was shocked when he saw Sonny’s face up close.
“What the heck happened to your face? I wasn’t gone for that long!
Who beat you?”
As he spoke, Abel glanced at the unconscious Nathaniel in disbelief.
Nathaniel was terribly weak right now. It was impossible for him to beat Sonny like this.
Holding back his anger, Sonny took a tissue from the bedside table and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He said crossly, “No one. I just slapped myself!”
