A Beauty With Multiple Masks
Henrick had no clue what was going to happen to him.
The doctor slapped something unidentified on all his limbs and head, with wirings of different colors
attached to it.
“What are you doing? Are you trying to dismember me?” Henrick quavered.
“Dismember?” The doctor wiggled his finger. “No, no, no. This is just your first day. Progression matters.
I’ll go easy on you today.”
The doctor maneuvered with the equipment before pressing the red button with the start label on it.
After that, he covered his ears.
“Ahhh!” an ear-splitting scream reverberated around the room.
Henrick was shrieking in pain, his face pale as paper, and his body was trembling intensely.
The pain in his stomach was unbearable!
It was as if his stomach was rotting.
However, nobody had laid a finger on him. He was just tied on the bed.
Right!It‘s caused by the wires!
After what appeared to be forever, the pain subsided just as Henrick was about to convulse.
The doctor let go of his hands from his ears and walked toward him with a smile. “How does it feel to
have stomach cancer?”
“Stomach, stomach cancer?” Henrick was dumbfounded.
The doctor nodded. “Today, you will go through three rounds of this. This is the special privilege of a
newcomer. Things will get intense tomorrow. Get ready-here comes round two. Each interval will last
for ten minutes. Stay strong. It will pass very quickly.”
His tone was gentle, but his speech was heinous.
At that moment, Henrick understood the purpose of all those equipment.
The equipment could replicate different types of pain, just like how many tried to experience the pain of
childbirth.
The thought of going through something even more intense caused Henrick to break down in fear.
“Let me go! I don’t want to stay here!” he begged.
Though, no one cared.
The second round started soon after.
Little did Henrick know that the torture awaiting him would intensify as the days went on. Endless days of
torture would befall him for the rest of his life.
The next afternoon.
Arielle went to visit Nigel and Josee in their temporary accommodation. It was located near her previous
school.
The house was filled with warmth and happiness. When Arielle entered the place, she noticed the smell
of fried chicken.
“Fried chicken?” Arielle looked toward Teddy, who was having a rapacious appetite.
Teddy immediately brought a drumstick to her. “Sannie, here’s a drumstick for you!”
Arielle ruffled his hair and responded, “Thank you so much, Teddy. But I’m good. Where is your daddy?
Why are you alone at home?”
Teddy obediently replied, “Daddy is visiting Mommy in the hospital. He said that the meals provided by
the hospital are not yummy. Hence, he brought some homecooked food for Mommy.”
“Do you want me to bring you to the hospital to visit your mommy?” Arielle asked.
“Yes!” Teddy beamed with excitement. “I have not eaten the two drumsticks. I’ll bring them to Mommy!
This is my first time having a drumstick. Daddy mentioned that he has money now, and I can have a
drumstick every day.”
Arielle smiled. “Just have the drumstick for yourself. Your mommy cannot consume oily food. You should
also avoid eating too much of it as it’s bad for your health. Next time, I’ll cook some food for you.”
“Yay!” Teddy cheered.
Shortly after, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the Rocher Private Hospital.
Coincidently, Arielle met someone familiar when she got out of the car.
“Oh! It’s Ms. Moore!” Queenie scornfully headed toward them.
She had just returned from Jadeborough University and bumped into Arielle.
She noticed Teddy and asked, “Who is this? Is he your illegitimate child? An illegitimate daughter giving
birth to an illegitimate son, does Mr. Nightshire know about this?”
