The guest room on the first floor was next to the hall. Su Yayan brought Li Annan in and looked at the open windows in the room. She asked in a low voice, “Do you need me to close the windows?”
Li Annan pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
Su Yayan did not mind. She walked over to close the windows and pulled the curtains as well.
Fortunately, the sky was not completely dark yet. The curtains in the room were gauze and transparent.
Even if they were all closed, they could clearly see the furnishings in the room and the faces of the people around them through the weak light.
Su Yayan pulled the curtains and returned to the bed. She heard Li Annan say with her head slightly lowered, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. Do you want to do it yourself… Or do you want me to help you…”
Hearing this, Li Annan’s body stiffened slightly, and her hands subconsciously tightened.
The two of them were in a stalemate for quite a while before Li Annan’s hands trembled as she slowly removed the bandages covering her face and neck.
When the last layer of bandages fell, Su Yayan realized that the burns on the person in front of her were much more serious than she had imagined.
The excessive burns left scars and pink scars on her face. There was slight atrophy in the depths of her cheeks and chin, making her facial features look strange.
If it was at night and she was not mentally prepared to see such a face suddenly, she would most likely be frightened and have nightmares.
No wonder she had such a big reaction when she said that she wanted to see her injuries.
If it were her, she would not want to be seen by others even if she had turned into such a ghost-like appearance.
No, to be precise, if it were her, Su Yayan was not even sure if she would have the courage to continue living.
After a short moment of surprise, Su Yayan took the initiative to walk to Li Annan’s side and asked in a low voice, “Can I touch it?”
Li Annan clenched her fists tightly and resisted the urge to wrap the bandage back. She nodded her head indiscernibly.
She did not even dare to look Su Yayan in the eye. She was afraid to see fear, disgust, and other emotions in the other party’s eyes. She was even more afraid to see her ugly and twisted face in the other party’s eyes.
Su Yayan obtained Li Annan’s consent and reached out to touch her face. She carefully felt the bumps on her fingertips and some small scars that were not quite flat.
“You also have it on your body?”
“Yes.”
“It’s all so serious?”
“Yes.”
Su Yayan muttered, “It’s a little tricky.”
The already weak light in Li Annan’s eyes instantly dimmed.
Su Yayan did not hide or give the other party empty promises to comfort her, she said truthfully, “With these injuries of yours, I won’t be able to do it on my own. You have to undergo surgery. From the scars on your face, I can see that after you were rescued back then, you had undergone skin grafting surgery quickly. This was a correct move. Your burns are too serious. If you don’t effectively stop the wound from festering, you won’t be able to keep your life.
“However, skin grafting can only repair your external injuries. If the burns are too deep, skin grafting alone will not be able to restore your looks to its original state. The only choice you have now is… plastic surgery. Fill this part back in and stretch the external skin.”
Li Annan was silent for a moment before mumbling, “I know, it’s useless.”
All these years, her family had never given up on finding a better treatment for her to save her injuries and her face.
Li Annan had heard what Su Yayan had just said from several doctors.
