Chapter 778
Haley held Ivan's trembling fingertips and smiled, "It's just a bit of blood, nothing serious. I'll go to the hospital and get it bandaged."
Ivan scooped her up and quickly headed to the hospital.
The doctor cleaned the blood from Haley's face, leaving her with two facial scars on each side.
Seeing the pain and regret in Ivan's eyes, Haley said lightly, "You have one scar on your face, I have two. From now on, neither of us is allowed to dislike the other."
Ivan hugged her tightly in silence.
He would rather be disliked himself than have her face ruined.
Haley, a woman who loved beauty and adored looking in the mirror, often took pride in her face. How could she possibly accept having her face disfigured?
"Haley, this will never happen again. I promise." Ivan's deep voice sounded in Haley's ear.
Her eyes grew moist.
Actually, she felt it was okay. Having been a beauty for so long, being an ugly woman for a while might be an exciting experience.
If she really couldn't stand the strange looks from passersby, she could always get plastic surgery.
However, the scars crossed her nose, making cosmetic surgery likely quite tricky.
Luckily, she didn't care that much.
There were many more important things in her life.
After applying medication to the scars on Haley's face and wrapping them in gauze, she was ready to be discharged.
As soon as she reached the hospital entrance, she felt the wound itching a bit.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Ivan asked worriedly.
"A bit itchy." Haley touched the wound through the gauze. "Is it healing already?"
"The doctors here aren't very professional. We'll get it checked again when we get back to Watertown," Ivan comforted her softly.
Haley didn't attend to the wound extensively and left the hospital with Ivan for the airport.
The kids were waiting obediently in the lounge.
After learning that Haley had been rescued, the kids relaxed and chatted happily with the security guards in the lounge while one of the guards brought over a pile of snacks.
Sometimes, his son would come to play here, so he would buy a lot of snacks to keep him entertained. Now, he brought them all out and placed them in front of Angela.
"Thank you, sir!" Angela thanked him generously, looking cute and sweet.
The guard's heart melted. He started to think his own son wasn't cute enough and wished he could have an adorable daughter like her.
"Your gun looks so cool. Can I touch it?" Owen asked curiously, pointing at the gun on the guard's waist.
The guard quickly cradled the gun to his chest and said, "This is very dangerous; you can't touch it."
"But it looks so cool." Angela blinked her eyes. "I want to touch it too. Can I?"
Under Angela's glassy gaze, the guard couldn't refuse. He extended one finger and said, "Just one touch. Only one."
Owen thought, 'Why can't I touch it? Angela was using her cuteness to bribe the guard!'
When Haley and Ivan arrived at the lounge, they saw Angela playing with a gun in her arms. It caused Haley's heart to nearly jump out of her chest.
