Alex stood at the side as he watched Hazel washed her tear-stained face. A few minutes passed and Hazel finally turned off the tap water. However, she did not dare to lift her face and look at Alex.
"What's wrong?"
Even without looking into the mirror, Hazel was able to tell that her eyes should look very swollen at the moment. Somehow, she did not dare to let Alex see her ugly face.
Hazel gently tapped the area around her eyes in hope that she could reduce the swelling around her eyes. However, she knew very well that there was no way that the swell would go down in a short time.
Seeing that the woman in front of him did not answer her question, Alex then grabbed at her hands and pulled them away from covering her face. Hazel continued to lower her head, avoiding his gaze.
Alex placed his finger under her chin and tilted it up so that Hazel would look at him.
