After taking Leon's measurements, Maeve recorded his personal preferences as reference for when she was brainstorming designs. As they were chatting, Paige knocked on the door and entered.
Paige reported, "Ms. Reese, Tom hasn't returned to the studio. No one picked up my call. What should we do?"
Maeve's heart skipped a beat. She wondered, 'Could he have attempted to commit suicide again?'
Tom currently stayed very close to the studio. Maeve reached his place after a five-minute walk.
Maeve did not hesitate. She took out the spare key and opened the door. She called out, "Tom? Are you home? Tom... Oh dear!"
When she saw Tom lying on the living room floor with his face down, Maeve's face turned pale. She took a few steps forward and flipped him over. She said, "Tom? Wake up!"
Just as she was about to call an ambulance, Tom grunted in discomfort and opened his eyes.
He said, "Maeve?"
Maeve heaved a sigh of relief. She asked, "Are you alright? How did you end up fainting at home?"
Right then, she saw the lower half of Tom's face that was not covered by his scarf.
She was taken aback.
The upper half of Tom's face was as handsome as that of an ancient Greek god. His facial features were well-defined. However, the lower half of his face was the complete opposite.
The side of his face was covered in dark brown burn scars that snaked all the way to his chin and neck. The burn scars looked like a ball of knotted thread. There were also densely packed blood scabs that had coagulated on his face. It was so terrifying that it made Maeve's skin crawl.
The scars ruined Tom's supposedly good-looking face. It was like a crack on high-quality porcelain.
Tom met Maeve's gaze and realized that she had seen his true appearance. His expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly pulled the scarf over his face.
