"Is that hurt?" Nicholas pointed to the bandage stuck to Rissa's cheek.
"Not really," said Rissa.
Nicholas looked at the bandage, then pulled the loose tape off. It made Rissa gasp.
"What the—" Rissa snapped while snatching back the bandage. Hastily, she looked at the mirror and put the bandage back on her cheek.
"The wound has healed. Why are you still covering it with a bandage?" Nicholas looked at Rissa in surprise. "If you don't open it, then your wound will fester. It's better not to cover it with a bandage."
Nicholas was about to remove the bandage again, but Rissa held his hand.
"Don't touch me! I don't want anyone to see the scar on my cheek."
