Chapter 6

Author: Flying Crayon Pig
Riley used her influence to secure one day of bail. As for Leo, she brought him back with her as well.

Back at home, the first thing Riley did was walk into the room and insert the USB drive I had given her into the computer. Almost immediately, an audio file popped up, and Riley frowned because it was Leo’s voice.

“Carter, I deliberately ran over your child. Why should you get to be with Riley? Why do you get to have a happy family of three while I watch from the sidelines? You hate me for it

  • A Face For A Face   Chapter 9

    On the anniversary of Andy’s death, I was finally allowed to remove the bandages. Suzanne carefully unwrapped them layer by layer before handing me a mirror. My hands wouldn’t stop trembling. However, under everyone’s quiet encouragement, I took a deep breath and slowly reached for it.After six long years, I saw my own face again and broke down crying. Suzanne pulled out a handkerchief and wiped my tears gently.“Don’t cry. You just recovered.”Then, from behind her, she brought out a bouquet of flowers.“Come on. I’ll go with you to the cemetery. Andy should see his father smiling again.”I looked at her, feeling deeply moved, and nodded firmly. At the cemetery, Andy’s photo on the gravestone showed him smiling happily. I wiped the dust from the stone and talked to him for a long time. I also placed many toys in front of his grave.“Andy, I will never forget you, but don’t you forget me, too. When I see you someday, I hope you’ll remember me.”My eyes were red and swollen fr

    It turned out that after witnessing the bloody scene and hesitating for a long time out of fear, one of the servants finally called the police. Just like that, Riley was taken away by officers, while Leo was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.By the time I received the news, everything about what happened to me had spread online. Countless people sympathized with me. Some even sent their condolences for my late child and parents.Riley’s business rivals took advantage of the situation and fanned the flames. In a short time, Riley’s cosmetic surgery clinic was drowned in negative press. The funding chain collapsed soon after, and she was pushed to the brink of bankruptcy. It was not long after that the clinic shut down.Leo, on the other hand, survived after three days and nights in intensive care. However, he lost the ability to ever be a father. The injuries on his face and body drove him to attempt to take his own life every day, until the police intervened and stoppe

    “Riley! It’s my fault! I didn’t mean it! I just wanted to be with you forever! I’m sorry, Riley! I’ll go apologize to Carter, okay? I’ll apologize to him! Riley, please don’t be angry!”All the crying had covered Leo’s face in tears and snot. However, Riley’s expression remained dark. She motioned for her men to restrain him before she walked into the room and brought out a set of surgical instruments. It was the first set of surgical tools I had ever given her, and she had always kept them in perfect condition.Seeing Riley picking up the handle and fitting the sharpest blade onto it, Leo collapsed on the floor in fear. His body trembled uncontrollably as he kept begging for mercy.“Riley, please, forgive me… I won’t do it again. I really won’t! Please let me go!” Suddenly, as if remembering something, Leo screamed even louder, “Wait! Riley, we have a child together! For the sake of the child, please spare me! Once you give birth, I’ll leave. I’ll disappear, I swear! Please, Rile

    Riley used her influence to secure one day of bail. As for Leo, she brought him back with her as well.Back at home, the first thing Riley did was walk into the room and insert the USB drive I had given her into the computer. Almost immediately, an audio file popped up, and Riley frowned because it was Leo’s voice.“Carter, I deliberately ran over your child. Why should you get to be with Riley? Why do you get to have a happy family of three while I watch from the sidelines? You hate me for it? So what? All I did was cry a little, and Riley believed me. She thought your son ran onto the road himself, and she sent you to prison for five years. Hahaha!“I heard when your parents died, their bodies weren’t even found for days. You were in prison at the time, weren’t you? No one went to collect their bodies.”Following a rustling sound, Leo’s voice suddenly turned sharp. “Ah! Carter, why are you hitting me?”At that, the recording cut off.Riley froze. She couldn’t believe that the i

    Inside the operating room, I was already long gone. All that remained on the operating table were stains of blood.Riley’s heart skipped a beat. When she looked up again, she saw a group of police officers standing inside the room. They were restraining Leo and several nurses.The moment Leo saw Riley, he looked as if his savior was here. He immediately started shouting, panic written all over his face.“Riley, save me! I don’t know why Carter called the police. They rushed in and detained all of us!”Riley’s hand trembled as she turned and shouted at him, “Then where’s Carter? Where is he? And whose blood is on the operating table?”The anxiety and fear on her face were plain to see. Startled by her reaction, Leo froze and couldn’t bring himself to respond.A police officer stepped forward and showed her his badge.“Ms. Riley, we received a report from Mr. Carter Quince. He claims that you and Mr. Leo Ferdinand fabricated evidence and sent Mr. Quince to prison in place of Mr. F

    Three days later, Riley came to pick me up exactly as promised. This time, Leo did not come with her. Maybe he had finally learned his lesson and was too afraid to provoke me.Riley drove me straight to her cosmetic surgery clinic.“Trust me, Carter. I’ll restore your original appearance. After that, we’ll go back to how things used to be. We’ll live our lives together again.”I wanted to say, ‘Unfortunately, Riley, we could never go back to the way we were.’Still, I didn’t refuse because I could no longer walk around with the face of the murderer who killed Andy. I would scare Andy so much.I lay down once again on the operating table. With the cold metal pressed against my back, memories of the past came flooding back, and my whole body trembled uncontrollably.Riley gently tried to calm me. “Carter, don’t be afraid. It’s all in the past now.”I handed her a USB drive.“Riley, make sure you listen to this.”She nodded. “Alright. I will.”Then, she instructed the nurses to
