Jayden Maguire hadn't turned on the lights, so the house was pitch-dark, but his eyes shone like stars, the darker it got, the brighter they appeared.
The only part of his face that could still face people was these eyes.
What he worried about the most was that Nana Monty would not despise him out of sympathy now, but she might regret it in the decades to come.
Even with surgery and skin grafts, his former appearance couldn't be restored.
Looking at such a face every day, even he himself would get irritated and loathsome.
Jayden Maguire sat in the living room for a long time before going upstairs. His figure was still as tall and straight as a pine, his footsteps firm and steady.
In the past, he loved to talk and laugh, but now, laughing had become a luxury for him.
Facial nerve damage made even moving his lips difficult.
Jayden Maguire turned on the bedroom light and saw that the food on the bedside table hadn't been touched at all, his brow furrowed.
