Chapter 341 Irreversible
Realizing the truth, Christian’s expression grew even darker.

Naomi, sharp–eyed, caught the shift in his face and instantly lunged forward, yanking him by the collar. “Is there something wrong with that synthetic skin? Were you trying to hurt me?!”
Her already ruined face looked utterly grotesque now.
Christian, of course, couldn’t admit the synthetic skin was faulty. So he quickly deflected, “Your face just had surgery–it was never suitable for synthetic skin. You ignored my warnings. That’s why it ended up like this. This is exactly why I didn’t want to give it to you in the first place!”
With just a few lines, Christian managed to deflect Naomi’s suspicion.
Naomi didn’t know medicine. All she could do was look at Christian pleadingly. “I’ll behave this time! Just help me. I can’t let my face rot like this.”
A jagged scar on her left cheek had already started to fester, and the infected area was spreading. The wounds on her body were rotting too, the stench of pus and decay clinging to her like a cloud.
Even though Christian was disgusted, Naomi quickly pulled out a bank card and shoved it into his hand. “There’s enough in here for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life! Just help me fix my face–take me home first!”
Christian stared at the card, tempted once again. With this kind of money, he wouldn’t even need to work at the hospital anymore.
So he led Naomi to the car.
On the road, Naomi finally calmed down a bit, but Christian kept shooting her looks of disdain.
He’d just bought this sports car, and now his passenger seat reeked from Naomi’s festering wounds.
He gritted his teeth the entire ride, silently switching the airflow to external circulation, hoping it would reduce the stench.
Naomi didn’t notice. All she cared about was fixing her face.
Back at Christian’s apartment, he gave her a quick examination and found traces of medicinal powder stuck to the synthetic skin still clinging to her face.
Poison powder.
The dosage wasn’t high, but applied directly to healing wounds, it was more than enough to cause irreversible necrosis.
“What’s wrong with my face? Say something!”
Naomi’s tone grew sharp when Christian remained silent.
“Is something seriously wrong with me? Tell me–when will my face heal?!”
She clutched at his sleeve, panic rising.
But Christian couldn’t bring himself to tell her the truth.

“Your face can’t handle another surgery. Even if you gave me ten million, I wouldn’t be able to fix it.”
Naomi’s face went completely pale.
“What do you mean it can’t be fixed?”
“I gave you all that money, and now you’re telling me my face is beyond repair?!”
“If you’d just listened to me and rested for one full month, nothing would’ve happened. But you had to steal the synthetic skin. Now, even I can’t do anything.”
Christian sighed helplessly.
When the truth sank in, Naomi shoved him away violently. “Useless! If you can’t fix my face, then give me back all my money!”
She’d already given Christian several million dollars.
With that much, he could’ve shaved off ten years of hard work.
The card she’d just handed him had six million on it.
Altogether, she’d given him ten million.
Christian, watching her try to take it all back, suddenly snapped. He tossed the cards at her. “Take it. All of it. But I’m telling you, there’s nothing I can do about your face.”
Naomi had no idea just how much damage she’d done to herself.
The human face was fragile to begin with, and she had destroyed it twice–once right after surgery.
At this point, no one could save her.
