However, only 30 million rewards were granted because they weren’t members of the hidden clan. Half a month later. Veronica and Shirley were discharged from the hospital and returned to One Piece Restaurant.
Shirley never dared to look in the mirror ever since the gauze was removed and her discharge from the hospital. Not only that, Veronica and the others did not allow any mirror to appear in the ward. Even the mirror in the bathroom was to be removed.
Skyler wrapped a piece of light pink gauze over Shirley’s face and knotted it behind her head on the day she was discharged from the hospital to cover the scars on her face.
Matthew asked Lazlo to tell the people at One Piece Restaurant not to ask about Shirley’s injuries. Skyler took Shirley’s hand and proceeded straight to his room after returning to One Piece Restaurant. There was no mirror in the room too.
“We’re finally back. Come in and sit down. You should rest for a while,” Skyler said gently to Shirley while holding her hand. Shirley, who had long hair, was dressed in a blue skirt with red and black crocheted cuffs from the hidden clan. She appeared even more mysterious and as beautiful as a fairy because she was dressed in gauze. But her face was scarred and she had lost her usual smile. Her mood was gloomy and taciturn every day as she was no longer confident.
“Okay,” answered Shirley. She nodded and sat on the couch without speaking. “Ah, I’ve been suffocating to death in the hospital for the past few days. Here, I’ll show you something good.” Skyler raised his eyebrows and smiled. He mysteriously closed all the curtains in the living room, and the living room was suddenly plunged into darkness.
He turned on the projector and something was projected on the white screen. It was a domestic movie.
“Ta-da!”
Skyler continued with a comical sound effect, “Look what I brought from home. There is everything-good movies, TV shows, and video games. We won’t be alone for long, I promise. There’s also your favorite variety show produced by the Mango TV channel. Do you want to watch it now?”
He tried his best to enliven the atmosphere and please Shirley. Although Shirley saw it in her eyes and felt it in her heart, she was aware that this kind of favor won’t last. “Okay. Since I’m kinda bored.” She nodded and forced a smile.
“What about the 12th episode? It’s said that this episode has the highest ratings, and it’s also. highly entertaining. Skyler selected the variety. show and left the remote control on the table. Then, He walked to the refrigerator and placed some fruits in front of Shirley. “Here, I know you like apricots and figs the most. I specially asked someone to bring them here since the hidden clan doesn’t have them. You should eat them quickly. They are all fresh.”
The variety show was being shown on the huge screen in the living room, and the light on the screen illuminated the dim living room. Without blinking, Shirley kept her gaze fixed on the busy Skyler in front of her.
She was saddled and in the palm of the Robins Family’s rebellious young master. Her heart felt warm and then a sharp ache as she sensed his love and his fiery heart. Tears fell silently.
“Sky, you are so kind. Thank you.” She chuckled a little, though. She kept all of her sorrow to herself since she didn’t want to put pressure or unpleasant feelings on others. “What do you thank me for?”
Skyler rubbed her head and said, “Try it now. It tastes good. You were in the hospital recovering and were unable to eat. You can eat now that your wound has healed. I permit you to eat unscrupulously.”
“Okay.” Shirley nodded and nibbled on a peeled apricot.. It had a strong flavor and was sweet.
“Delicious?” he asked. Shirley replied, “Yes. Very sweet.” Hmm. It is sweet and fresh, but why does it turn salty after two more bites? Even somewhat astringent? It wasn’t until the tears blurred her vision that she realized that her tears had gotten into her mouth.
