Chapter 313 Do Not Mind It
Upon entering the consultation room, Lucian saw Aubree’s exposed shoulder, along with a bandage
around her shoulder.
Gina and Sonya were standing next to Aubree, staring at the doctor. “Doctor, how’s Aubree’s injury? Is
it serious?”
The doctor took a nce at Lucian, who had just arrived at the door. Then, he turned back to exin to
thedies. “Apart from fracturing a bone in her arm, Ms. Pearson is all right. She just needs to rest for a
period of time and let it heal. By the way, there’s quite a bit of abrasion on her shoulder, and some
wounds are slightly deep. I’m afraid some scars will remain on the affected area.”
Everyone was stunned at his words.
Gina was the first to recollect herself. She hung her head low and gazed at her daughter’s bandaged
shoulder in disbelief. “Is the injured area big?”
The doctor nodded.

Aubree, on the other hand, sat quietly on the chair. Despite her unfazed expression, she was filled with
frustration.

She indeed had intended to put on a ruse to garner sympathy. Never in a million years would she have
thought that a severe mishap would befall her.
During the check-up, the doctor had already informed her about it. She also witnessed her open
wounds before they were swathed in gauze. It was a downright ghastly sight!
With things havinge to this, there was no way she could turn back time and change the oue.
The only thing Aubree regretted was letting the doctor cover up her wounds too fast. She was hoping
that Sonya could see thecerations suffered with her own eyes. This was so that Sonya would feel
extremely terrible about it.
Although Sonya did not get to see Aubree’s wounds, she was stricken with guilt when she heard what
the doctor said. “Don’t you have a way to ensure that no scars are left behind? Please do so,
regardless of the cost.”
The doctor was put in a difficult spot. “Actually, there’s one solution. However, it may require Ms.
Pearson to bear some hardships.”
“What is it?” Gina asked hastily.
“Ms. Pearson can consider going through a skin transnt surgery once her wounds are healed. I can
refer you to a hospital that guarantees a perfect oue,” the doctor suggested.
Gina sulked when she heard that. “What’s the point? The surgery will only cover up the scars. What
about the areas where the skin is reced? Won’t there be scars too? My daughter was perfectly well
until this happened, leaving so many scars on her body—”
Aubree’s brows snapped together upon noticing that her mother got all worked up and started to argue
with the doctor. Hence, she cut Gina off, “It’s okay, Mom. It’s just a few scars. Anyway, they aren’t
located on my face. I’ll just have to wear clothes with sleeves more often. It’s not a big deal.”
Thereafter, Aubree’s gaze swept across Sonya’s face.
Thetter’s guilt turned more and more intense as she realized how understanding Aubree was.
“Aubree got hurt because she wanted to save me. Don’t you worry; I’ll bear all the consequences.”
It suddenly dawned on Gina that Aubree had a hidden agenda. Immediately, she yed along by
putting on a sorrowful expression andmented, “I’m not too worried about the scars. What bothers me
the most is how other people will view Aubree. She’s not getting any younger. With those scars on her
body… Will she be able to get married? Will her future partner ept her?”
Gina’s eyes gradually turned red as she got emotional.
At that moment, Aubree was relieved. She pretended tofort her mother. “Don’t worry, Mom. I
believe that the person who truly loves me won’t mind these scars. It’s just like…”
Then, Aubree instinctively nced at Sonya and disyed a dejected expression.
Even though she did not finish her sentence, the others knew exactly what she wanted to say.
It’s just like my unrequited love for Lucian over the years. I don’t mind that he has never paid any
attention to me.
Sonya was moved to tears. She turned and stared at her son. Then, she said to him earnestly, “I
caused Aubree to get injured. During her recovery, you ought to take good care of her on my behalf in
order to repay Aubree for her kindness.”
