The court date for the divorce proceedings was set for a month later.

At the arrangement of a friend, I enlisted the best cosmetic surgeon in the country.

Under the joint consultation of doctors, I underwent three facial repair surgeries.

Although the facial burn scars eased somewhat, my previous appearance was restored.

But the long-standing scars on my body, the doctors regretfully said they were powerless to help.

The layers of injuries accumulated over seven years had long rendered my body in an irreversible condition.

Unable to return to normal, though somewhat regrettable, I didn't mind.

In fact, having these scars on my body is good, for this way, I will never forget the pain this unhappy marriage brought me.

The month flew by in an instant.

I appeared at the plaintiff's seat in court as scheduled.

Before this, my friends advised me not to appear, suggesting that a lawyer could handle everything.
