Arden was kidnapped at the corner by his house when he was heading home. When he woke up, he had found his face in such a state. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
He vaguely remembered the two traffickers telling him, “We didn’t want to do this to you. You had a nice face, but now, it’s ruined. Don’t blame us. “Blame yourself. You couldn’t keep out of our business. We don’t enjoy hurting people, but you forced us to, kid.”
Arden got to where he was because of his good intentions and desire to help.
But those who judged him had never asked why his face looked the way it did. Would they feel even the slightest bit of gult if they knew the truth?
felt something stir in her chest. She couldn’t deny that at that moment, she felt a pang of sympathy for him.
