Su Zijing listened to the entire conversation but remained confused.
She even turned to the equally silent Fang Zhihan and asked, “What is she talking about? How is Lin Jiayu unwell?”
“It’s her face,” Fang Zhihan replied calmly. His voice was cold and foreign, but he spoke at a steady pace.
Su Zijing was a little surprised. She was just asking him casually and did not expect him to actually respond.
This was the first time that Lin Guofeng heard Fang Zhihan’s voice, so he subconsciously glanced at the cold and quiet assistant. But, he suddenly realized that the man looked very familiar...yet, he couldn’t quite pinpoint where he had seen him before.
Yu Gangan turned and looked at Su Zijing in surprise, “Sister Su, you didn’t know that there was something wrong with her face?”
If Su Zijing hadn’t warned Yu Gangan not to remove Lin Jiayu’s mask, she wouldn’t have taken the woman’s face into consideration to begin with. That’s why she thought Su Zijing knew.
“If I had known about it, I would have told you directly before you came.”
All Su Zijing knew was that Lin Jiayu was unwell and had a bad temper because of it. She also knew that Lin Jiayu stayed at home every day and always wore a mask when she stepped out. Moreover, she was cold to everyone; if anyone asked her to remove her mask, she would immediately lose her temper.
Su Zijing simply warned Yu Gangan because she didn’t want her to provoke Lin Jiayu.
“Dr. Yu, do you already know what condition Jiayu has?” Lin Guofeng asked as he stared at Yu Gangan emotionally. After seeing so many doctors, Yu Gangan was the first to point out her frostbite.
“I guess so. Her condition is a result of her frostbite,” Yu Gangan replied.
“What kind of condition is it? How is it related to her frostbite?” Su Zijing asked.
She was so curious. Lin Jiayu had frostbite, but how did it completely alter her personality?
“In extreme cold, frostbite can be categorized into 4 stages: 1st degree, 2nd degree, 3rd degree, and severe frostbite. 1st degree is the mildest case; we often see it in the form of a blister, but damage only occurs on the surface of the skin. 2nd degree frostbite is a little more serious because it penetrates into the dermis. Then, there’s 3rd degree frostbite, which damages all layers of the skin. Lastly, we have severe frostbite, which can affect, the skin, muscles, tissues, tendon, bones and can even lead to necrosis 1 .”
As Yu Gangan spoke, she looked at Lin Guofeng, “Apart from her hand, Miss Lin also had frostbite on her face. To be exact, it was on her mouth and it caused facial paralysis. Am I right?”
Lin Guofeng furiously nodded his head, “Yes yes yes, because her mouth is so crooked, she appears disfigured, so she wears a mask every day to prevent anyone from seeing it. At first, her mother and I didn’t know about it. We simply thought she was suffering from a breakup or something. We only found out what happened later and discovered the facial paralysis caused by her frostbite required the help of Chinese medicine. Thus, we invited a whole heap of famous doctors to treat her, but she refused to see them. It took a lot of convincing for her to finally come to an agreement, but she requested not to remove her mask and to not mention her frostbite. She wanted the doctors to figure it out themselves. If they managed to diagnose it properly, then she would accept their treatment. If not, then she wanted to be left alone.”
After saying this, Lin Guofeng’s eyes began to turn red.
“We know it was wrong to do this. Even the most famous doctor needs a proper diagnosis to provide accurate treatment. But, my daughter has a strong ego; she’s always been an attractive person. If an outsider was to find out about her face, she would not be able to handle it. I was honestly afraid that she would take her own life, so I decided to follow her request...”
