Chapter 232 Chapter 232

Noelle's wound wasn't very serious. So, after the final checkup, she was discharged from the hospital. However, her wound hadn't fully healed yet, and there was a bandage on the corner of her forehead. The doctor

said it would leave a scar.

Well, Noelle didn't care.

She was in the restaurant now, and the people kept giving her second glances. She just sat there silently. Outside the window were the busy streets of Vinton.

She had known him for many years-so many years that Noelle had forgotten when she first began secretly paying attention to him.
