At that moment, my heart was broken.
"Come in, why are you standing at the door? Chicky won't bite anyone."
Louis was probably blind, he clearly saw the dog biting my leg.
My shoulder was hurting so much that I went into the private room and sat down with a pale face.
"There's no others here, Cathy, you don't have to cover yourself up so tightly. It's all because of your outfit that Chicky was scared and didn't recognize you."
Michelle just said a few words and blamed the dog bite all by me.
The dog seemed to understand her words and whimpered uneasily in Louis's arms.
Louis stroked the dog's head, extremely dissatisfied with my appearance. "Just take them off. Didn't you see Chicky is scared again?"
My heartache flashed away, and I revealed my face without any sadness or joy.
He knew very well why I dressed up like this.
Everyone loves beauty, and even more, I am a public figure. If I go around in public with a disfigured face, I'm afraid he will scold me for damaging the city's appearance.
After the pain in my shoulder eased, I tentatively raised my hands to take off my mask and hat.
Seeing the strange movement of my arm, Louis was puzzled.
"Cathy, why are you being so shy?"
I ignored him.
He didn't feel sorry for my disfigurement, so how could he care about the three nails on my scapula?
To speak it out would only bring shame upon oneself.
When Michelle saw my face clearly, she covered her mouth and gasped.
"Cathy, you are really disfigured!"
Through her fingers, I saw the corners of her mouth turned up.
It was really a smug smile.
"I'm sorry, it's all because of these two dogs were hurt. Otherwise, Louis would definitely think of you first."
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
Although it was tears of excitement, Louis thought she was feeling sad about my misfortune.
He held Chicky in one hand and took a tissue with the other hand to wipe Michelle's tears:
"It's not your or the dogs' fault. Cathy overtook the car and ran ahead without saying a word. She's lucky to be alive."
Michelle cried even harder. "Cathy is an actress. How can she compare with us? If she is disfigured, won't that mean she will ruin the rest of her life?"
She just wanted me to know that I was not worthy of competing with her for Louis because of my disfigurement.
Louis felt so distressed that he wanted to hug Michelle and comfort her, but because I was there, he did not cross the line.
