A Replacement Bride

Chapter 388 Disfigured

Thinking that this was the manual he wanted, Jayden happily opened it up, but then something unexpected happened. The moment the special bottle hidden inside came in contact with the air, it burst open, and shards of glass flew everywhere, slivers of white smoke unfurling into its surroundings.

Jayden froze for a moment. The shards sliced through his face, but the pain didn't register, and then a burning sensation held him. A moment later, his face felt like it was on fire, and the pain made him scream. He tried to cover his face with his hands, but then the burning sensation spread to his hands as well, turning his screams into shrieks.

Hansel was making arrangements for the mercenaries outside, but when he heard Jayden's screams, he jumped and quickly ran inside. When he saw what was going on, his legs buckled, and he was at a loss. The smoke slowly dissipated, but the air was still filled with a rancid stench, yet Hansel didn't care. He was staring at Jayden in horror as if Jayden was a monster. "S-Sir… Y-Your face…"

Jayden couldn't even open his eyes, but with sheer determination, he opened his right eye by a fraction, then he curled on the sofa, basking in agony. He roared, "What's with my face?"

Beset by shock, Hansel trembled, unable to even make a coherent sentence. He stammered. "Burn… It's burnt…"

The pain was torturing Jayden still. He felt like he could pass out at any second, but he gnashed his teeth and stayed awake. He roared, "Don't just stand there! Take me to the hospital!"

Hansel snapped out of it and quickly whipped his phone out. He wanted to call an ambulance, but then he decided against it. He tucked his phone away and held Jayden up, then he led him outside. A short while later, Hansel drove Jayden to the hospital.
