Chapter 346 Red Marks


    Ceres''s heart skipped a beat.


    She seemed to have forgotten the red marks on her face.


    Swedum was aware that Ceres was somewhat different from the beginning, but he didn''t ask until now


    as he just wanted to be with his mommy.


    He finally asked the question just now.


    "Mommy, the red marks on your face are ugly. Can you wash them? They are not pretty. You''re the


    most beautiful mommy in the world!"


    Children were always brutally honest. Ceres felt her heart ached.


    The marks were probably here to stay.


    "Swedum, Mommy is injured. It will take some time before I recover." Ceres did not want to tell him the


    truth now. That would be too cruel.


    "Oh, I see. Does it hurt?"


    Swedum gently touched the marks on her face.


    "It doesn''t hurt anymore. Go to sleep, Swedum." Ceres shook her head.


    "I will, Mommy. Love you. Good night."


    Swedum gave Ceres a big kiss.


    "Good night. Mommy loves you, too." Ceres smiled.


    Swedum quickly fell asleep, hugging his mommy''s arm.


    Ceres touched the boy''s face, unable to fall asleep.


    The scars were her nightmare. Jamie had long wanted to disfigure her. But she failed many times.


    When Jamie finally got a chance again, she wouldn''t miss it.


    So, Ceres guessed that she would never remove the scars.


    Swedum had never seen her this way. So, Ceres asked him whether he could ept her with scars.


    Even if Swedum could ept it, what about his ssmates? What about his teacher? Was he ridiculed


    by his peers because his mom had scars?


    What about Johny? Would his family ept her? Would the employees of the Eagle Group make fun


    of her when they saw their president''s wife was disfigured? Would they point their fingers at her? What


    would Johny''s friends and business partners think of him?


    Ceres was in a panic.


    The door was opened, and a hunky man got in. It was Johny.


    He quietly came to the bed, picked Ceres up, and then left.


    Johny carried Ceres to their bedroom, making no sound along the way.


    The room was dark. Johny didn''t n to turn on the lights. He put Ceres on the bed, threw back the


    covers, and kissed her.


    Ceres didn''t kiss back. His kisses went all the way down.


    Feeling that something was wrong with her, Johny stopped. He looked up at Ceres, who was staring


    nkly out the window.


    "Ceres?"


    Johny''s voice was soft.


    "Johny, I want to see the doctor tomorrow."


    "Can you find the best dermatologist for me? A stic surgeon is fine, too," Ceres said.


    Johny knew why Ceres asked him to do so. "Alright, we''ll see the doctor tomorrow."


    His reply was short. Nofort.

    Ceres turned to look at Johny. "I hope you can be mentally prepared. The scars may never be


    removed."


    Johny smiled. "So?"


    "I just want you to be prepared. Maybe my face will never be the same. If so, you should have a n in


    advance."


    Ceres thought that she had made it very clear.


    "What n are you talking about? Divorce you?"


    What Johny said made Ceres feel bad.


    She couldn''t bear to divorce Johny. But she didn''t want to bring any trouble to Johny and Swedum


    either.


    "Alright, don''t think too much about it. Our priority is having a baby."


    Johny rubbed her cheek.


    Ceres stared at Johny in disbelief. She didn''t know how to exin to Swedum about her face. How


    could there be a second one?


    "You won''t run away from me when you''re pregnant!"


    Johny was a bit crossed when he said that.


    He should find something for Ceres to do. Otherwise, she would overthink, refusing to stay put.


    The next day, Swedum went to school at the request of Johny.


    Johny put aside his work and brought Ceres to the hospital.


    Ceres did many checks. Then, they went back to the doctor''s office. Ceres was wringing her hands


    nervously.


    Johny reached out to hold her hand.


    She nced at Johny, then turned to the doctor.


    "Mr. Johny, Mrs. Winsor''s scars are a bit tricky." The doctor didn''t beat around the bush.


    Ceres had prepared herself mentally that the scars might be with her forever, but she still had a


    glimmer of hope.


    "This drug that left the scars is very potent. Plus, it has been injected into the skin. If treated early, the


    scars might have been removed already. But it''s toote now."


    Ceres lowered her head. Was she going to carry the ugly scars for the rest of her life?


    How was she supposed to live a normal life?


    She was only in her twenties!


    "Is there any way to make the color lighter?" Johny asked calmly.


    "Laser treatment may work. It''s used to remove tattoos when people no longer like them. But there''s a


    catch. Laser treatment may create new scars."


    The doctor sighed softly, "Your scars are on the face, so we don''t really rmend usingser


    treatment."


    Ceres remained silent with her head down. Johny held her hand tightly.


    "Alright, we got it."


    "But I can prescribe you a drug. Apply it to your face. Keep using it. It may work in the long run. It''s a


    drug prescribed to people with birthmarks that are hard to remove. The scars won''t go away, but at


    least they will be lighter, which offers some sort offort."


    Johny asked his subordinate to get the drug before taking Ceres home.


    On the way back, Ceres did not say a word. Johny knew she needed some time to ept the reality,


    so he didn''t say anything.


    When they were back home, Ceres said that she was tired. She told Johny that it was time for him to


    go to work.


    Johny was just about to leave when he realized something.


    He told the nanny, "Look after Madam. Follow her if she goes out."


    Having experienced so many things, Johny was extremely cautious.


    Staring at herself in the mirror, Ceres broke down in tears.
