His Precious Love

Chapter 233

Chapter 233 Speak Against Your Conscience
Rayna released a sigh of relief when she didn’t see any news that tarnished her name and returned to work.
The other person who saw the news was Stephanie, who was still in the hospital.
The acid splash had left visible burn marks on the left side of her face and her arm, which tremendously scarred her psyche.
When the doctor told her no skin grafting technology could hide her scars completely, she broke down.
She had prepared the acid as a contingency. Back then, when she removed the cap of the bottle of acid after being infuriated by Rayna’s words, she didn’t expect Rayna to push the bottle toward her.
She had thought that she, as a victim, could accuse Rayna and have her thrown into prison forever. However, to her surprise, Rayna recorded their conversation.
Everyone now believed she had wanted to use the acid on Rayna. Essentially, she was hoisted by her own petard.
Stephanie smashed any objects with reflective properties in the room and cried for the whole night.
When she saw Theodore arrive in her ward the next morning, she pounced on him and wailed, “My face is ruined, Teddy! What do I do?”
With a firm attitude and a cold expression, Theodore pushed her away. “It’s your fault for attacking her.”
“She won’t let you go, so I asked her to leave,” Stephanie sobbed and pretended to be weak. “I was a little harsh with my words, but she spoke impolitely to me too. Then I got angry…” She grabbed Theodore’s shirt. “I did this because I like you, Teddy! Now that my face is ruined, how am I going to meet other people in the future?”
“If you hadn’t taken out that bottle of acid, you wouldn’t have turned out like this.” The look in his eyes was grim. “I treat you politely solely because of our family’s relationship.”
“Teddy…”
Gripping her wrist, Theodore warned, “I hope this incident will teach you an unforgettable lesson. You know who’s protecting her, and I don’t think you’re stupid enough to want to see your family fall.”

That statement crushed Stephanie even further. Even though my face is now ruined, Teddy is still not standing on my side! He didn’t even spare me any sympathy! ”Why does she get to be fine and dandy when I’m severely injured?”
“You reap what you sow.” Theodore had no intention of wasting his time talking with her any longer.
He summoned two nurses, glanced at Stephanie, and ordered, “She’ll be recuperating in the hospital for the time being. Take good care of her.” Then he left.
Stephanie chased after him like a madwoman, intending to prevent his departure by hugging him. However, the two nurses behind her stopped her, forcing her to watch him leave.
In response, she screamed at the top of her lungs, “How can you be this cruel, Theodore? You b*stard! You’re a sc*mbag!”
I have nothing left! Nothing! As she cried, the nurses released her, letting her fall to the ground.
The ward was a mess. In front of her were a trolley she toppled, a smashed pot, and a small silver tray.
In the reflective tray, she saw the right side of her face, which was still smooth and tender, and the left side, which looked wrinkly. Even the corner of her lips appeared askew.
She let out a loud cry, unable to stand staring at herself, who looked like an old woman now. By the time the nurses noticed something was wrong, she had already picked up a sharp piece of debris lying on the floor and scratched her face with it.
“Ah!” The nurses trembled in fear.
Swiftly, they stopped her self-mutilation by clumsily administering her a sedative shot.
When Stephanie woke up, she felt the left side of her face burning with pain. Noises were traveling into her ears, which she soon realized was coming from the television. The reporter on the news channel was talking about the arrest of all executives of a company because the drugs their factories manufactured had failed to pass the inspection.
The moment she realized the company belonged to her aunt, her eyes widened.
She knew because she had been there many times before.
“Are you awake, Ms. Goath?” A young woman was sitting next to Stephanie’s bed. When she saw the latter had woken up, she turned off the television and spoke. “You don’t look so good, Ms. Goath. Is it because of Theodore?”
Stephanie’s pupils constricted when she heard Theodore’s name. “Get out!” At that moment, she didn’t want to think about him at all.
“Before I leave, there’s something I want to tell you, Ms. Goath.” Dorothy smiled. “Faymon Group orchestrated the fall of your aunt’s company because you touched Mr. Faymon’s people. I must say, you’re quite pitiful, Ms. Goath. Even though you love Theodore with all your heart, your face was disfigured by the woman he had a scandal with. And your aunt’s company is now gone.”
“Rayna!” Fury blazed in Stephanie’s eyes as she gritted her teeth. “It’s all because of her! She disfigured me! She snatched the man I love away!”
The corners of Dorothy’s lips curved even higher when she saw Stephanie getting livid. “Do you want revenge, Ms. Goath? I can help you, don’t worry, and the Sanders family won’t be implicated.”
“Why do you want to help me?”
Dorothy gave a small smile. “Because I pity you. I want to help you out a little.”
Meanwhile, Rayna encountered a problem when she was searching for the information she needed. As usual, she asked Gabriel for help on WhatsApp.
When she got her answer, she relaxed. Then, she asked: Is Old Mr. Faymon feeling better?
Gabriel: Much better.
Rayna: Why did your message become so brief? Did your boss bully you?
