Chapter 4
That was not a human face anymore! The criss-cross scars distorted his facial features, which made his face looked so creepy that no one dared to look at him directly.
Although Lita had gotten herself mentally prepared for this on the way to the Selmy Family, she was still in a panic when she saw the real person.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?" The voice sounded old and hoarse.
The woman's reaction made Alex despise her even more. How dare she, a girl as timid as hare, have an axe to grind in the Selmy Family?"
Alex felt that the woman's scream was not horrifying enough. He got off the bed, bent over to approach Lita, and raised his ghostly hand. "Lita, don't be afraid... Come on, let me hug you!"
Seeing the hands with scars crisscrossing like centipedes, Lita drew back in extreme fear. "Don't come over... don't come over!"
That was an instinctive fear of human beings. Lita was really not able to face it calmly. It was really horrifying. The ghostly man was like a zombie or an evil beast and stood in front of her. He was a real person.
"Lita, tonight is our wedding night... Don't be afraid... If you think I'm ugly, I can turn off the lights." Alex admired the real fear on the woman's face. He wanted her to clearly feel that she had to pay the price if she dared to sign the marriage certificate with him at will.
Did she have an axe to grind with the Selmy Family? It would depend on whether she had the guts or not!
"Don't... don't turn off the lights! I... I don't dislike you." The voice of Lita trembled. Turning off the lights would only increase the fear in her heart.
"Since you don't dislike me... Let's do something on the bed!" Alex approached Lita again and pushed her to the corner of the wall. There was nowhere for her to step backward.
"Ethan, please don't do this... I will take good care of you... But I'm really scared now."
Two lines of crystal clear tears rolled down her beautiful face. She tried hard to suppress the fear in her heart. But when she looked at Alex creepy face, she was still frightened to tremble.
Alex stopped for a moment when he heard Lita call him Ethan. Did this silly woman still think that Alex was his elder brother Ethan?
It was understandable. He sought someone to marry in the name of his elder brother, Ethan. It was not surprising that the woman regarded him as Ethan!
While Alex was still, Lita quickly escaped from Alex raised arms like a cat. She hurriedly opened the door of the room and stumbled out...
The lingering fear surged in her heart. In the empty corridor, Lita choked with sobs. When she saw Alice looking up in the living room downstairs, she seemed to find the last straw and hurriedly run toward her downstairs.
"Alice... I'm so scared!" Lita suddenly threw herself into Alice's arms and sobbed.
Anyone would be more or less scared when seeing that face. After all, it was different from those horrible monsters in the movie. It really could move and pounce on you, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." Alice patted
Lita back and comforted her. "Mrs. Selmy, your good days have just begun."
Good days? Was what Alice said the truth or the irony? She was almost scared out of her mind. What kind of good day was it?"
"Alice, shall I sleep with you tonight?" Lita was really scared. She held Alice's hand tightly, afraid that she would disagree.
From time to time, she looked at the second floor in panic. She was worried that Ethan would come out to find her.
"You want to sleep with me? On your wedding night..." Alice was a little embarrassed. After all, it was the wedding night of Lita and the Second Young Master. The bride wanted to sleep with a servant. Would the Second Young Master agree?
For the Second Young Master, who was dressed like that at his wedding night to frighten his bride, Alice did not dare to be angry and dared not say anything. She clearly knew the temper of the Second Young Master. If she told the truth to Mrs. Selmy now, everyone would be in trouble. Also, Mrs. Selmy would live a more miserable life!
However, when she saw Lita crying so hard, Alice couldn't bear it. She couldn't leave her in the lurch, could she?
"Well, then make do with living here tonight." Alice finally agreed.
It was impossible for her to persuade Lita to go back to the wedding room. If she forced Lita to do so, Lita would only return back to the Bishop Family. It would be worse.
"Thank you, Bishop." Lita followed closely behind Alice and entered her room downstairs.
In the medical room on the second floor.
Looking at Lita who was crying miserably in Alice arms on the screen, Ethan sighed slightly. "This guy was pretending to be me to scare Lita again! Lita is now his wife.... This guy really ought to be beaten!"
Ethan paused for a moment and took a deep breath. "Cole, call Alex over. I need to talk to him."
But Cole Owen shook his head in disagreement, "I think it's good for them! Considering the temper of the Second Young Master, the more you force him, the more he does the opposite, and the more Miss Lita will suffer!"
"But it's not good to let him pretend to be me to scare Lita as will!" Ethan was a little angry with Alex behavior, "He will scare Lita away!"
"They have to communicate with each other in a certain way." Doctor Owen glanced at Lita on the screen, who was going to go to the room with Alice, "Lita chose to stay at the Selmy Family. It's really difficult for her. In fact, this girl is quite clever and knows to ask Alice for help."
"No, I can't just watch Alex scare her away! What a good girl!" Ethan wanted to sit up, but he was trapped by those instruments.
Doctor Owen quickly stepped forward and pressed him down, "Eldest Young Master, Lita must experience such a process! If she can accept the Second Young Master's fake appearance and stay here, the heart of the Second Young Master will definitely start to be warmed by her! Also, she is worthy of the love of the Second Young Master in the future!"
Ethan was silent for a while. Finally, he nodded his head. He agreed with what Cole said.
The next day.
Lita woke up on the sofa in Alice room. Alice had already not been on the bed. She should have gotten up early to do housework.
The scene last night was vivid in Lita mind. She really wanted to treat it as a nightmare. But the unfamiliar environment of the Selmy Family reminded her that everything that happened last night was real.
Lita slightly. Since she chose to marry the disabled Ethan, why couldn't she accept his appearance calmly? However, his appearance was really terrifying.
Take things as they come. She had to face this cruel fact. Even if she didn't want to have further intimacy with him, taking good care of him was always what she should do as a wife.
After washing up, Lita wanted to go to the kitchen to find Alice to see if there was anything she could do.
But she saw a man sitting in front of the big dining table. He was eating a sumptuous breakfast alone.
Because Alex was preparing skin grafting surgery for his elder brother Ethan, he had been paying great attention to his diet recently. Food could provide comprehensive nutrition and be conducive to the maintenance of his skin.
Lita involuntarily walked toward him. The man had a strong back and a healthy physique. His hair was short and black, which looked bright and healthy. His exposed wheat colored arm was strong, which made him look full of strength....
