Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 941:

Paul’s reluctance to show his face wasn’t due to a decline in his looks. Rather, he found it difficult to confront his family with a face that wasn’t his own.

Since regaining his memory, Paul had felt strange each time he gazed into the mirror.

Even after living as Paul for more than ten years, he still preferred his former self. Though his face remained hidden, Paul’s voice filled the room promptly. He greeted his family warmly.

“Dad, Sergio, Hannah, how are you all?” Regrettably, even his voice had been altered. It bore no resemblance to its former timbre.

When he jumped off the Rose Cliff into the crocodile-infested lake years ago, he sustained grave injuries. His face, limbs, and even his throat had been severely damaged. Despite multiple surgeries enabling him to speak, his voice had irreversibly changed.

Balthasar and Sergio exchanged wary glances upon seeing the silhouette and hearing the strange voice.

Unsure how to react, they remained silent.

Their anticipation had been to reconnect with Brian, with a familiar face they fondly recalled. Instead, they saw only a silhouette accompanied by a raspy, unknown voice.

Landen’s eyes were glued to the screen, filled with eagerness to finally see his Uncle Brian’s current appearance.

The last time he was aboard the Sunrise, he hadn’t had the opportunity to meet Paul. Now, with Paul becoming his uncle, Landen was thrilled about the prospect of interacting with him as his nephew.

Sadly, Paul’s face remained hidden.

A brief silence enveloped the room.

Hannah was the first to break it. She peered intently at the screen and tentatively called out, “Brian?”noveldrama

“It’s me.” Paul’s response came.

Hannah cast a quick look at Balthasar and Sergio before turning her attention back to the screen. In a gentle tone, she inquired, “Why aren’t you showing your face?”

“Didn’t Marissa explain everything?”

Paul began, his voice tinged with hesitation.

“I’m not the person I once was… Now, I…”

His voice faltered, turning mournful as he struggled to continue.

Balthasar and Sergio cast puzzled glances at Marissa, while Hannah asked, “Marissa, is there something else we don’t know?”

Left with no other choice, Marissa shared the terrifying tale of how Paul had been coerced into jumping into a lake teeming with crocodiles, leading to his severe disfigurement and subsequent extensive surgeries.

Silence enveloped the room once more as she finished her story, everyone’s eyes brimming with tears. Paul remained quiet, his face hidden, yet his silhouette betrayed his tears.
