Every time he leaves me alone, doesn't answer my calls or reply to my messages on purpose, he uses this sentence to shut me up.
I put down my hands, took out my phone that was charging under the script and turned it on in front of him.
"See? I didn't mean to ignore it. It's just that the battery is out."
When I showed him my phone, I inadvertently revealed the bright red scar on my face.
"Why did you put on makeup like this? It's so scary!"
I laughed at myself, thinking he could see it!
"It's not makeup. I haven't got the technology yet."
Hearing the mockery in my tone, Louis moved closer to see it more clearly.
"Cathy, what's wrong with your face..."
"Didn't I tell you that my car is in front of you?"
Louis's face suddenly changed, and he tried to touch my scar with his trembling hands, but I moved away.

When he said the latter part, he was a little afraid to look at me.
He probably had no idea why I overtook him.

"I was already at the supermarket entrance yesterday, but the two dogs were traumatized by the accident and became severely stressed even at the slightest noise. Michelle couldn't handle it alone, so I broke my promise. You know that Michelle treats those two dogs as her own babies..."
I lifted my eyelids lightly, and Louis couldn't continue.
Don't mention that I can't compare to his first love, but even their two dogs. How ridiculous is that?
He touched his nose guiltily, knowing that it was inappropriate to compare me to dogs.
"No need to explain, I know you are their father."
I have always loved beauty and would never allow myself to have scars. Now half of my face is disfigured, but I am so calm.
The contrast in my attitude made Louis open his mouth slightly, and after a while he said, "Medical technology is very advanced now. I will ask someone to buy you some good scar removal cream. Then you can get some cosmetic surgery and it should be back to normal."
"Don't worry about it. I know what's going on."
Louis looked me over carefully, and after confirming that only my face was injured, he breathed a sigh of relief:
