The first, second and third session, Xie Yiman suffered through all of them without the use of anaesthesia. After the surgery was over, her mind was too weak to even answer the doctor's questions. The electrode was removed from her body and she was given antibiotics to prevent intracranial infection. Gu Jun personally applied the ice pack on her face. He asked, "Yiman, do you still feel the itchiness on your face?"
"Itchiness?" Xie Yiman's swollen face could no longer make any expression. She could not frown or pout. Her mumbling voice was no longer incoherent, instead it was filled with a sense of loss and acceptance. The lack of joy was striking. "I… I don't think so, I don't think I can feel anything on my face anymore…" Without skin and working facial muscle, did she still even have a face left?
