Chapter 94: A different face
''What..... are you…'' Victoria stammered with shock while she pulled her hands away from his and tried touching her face, but it was bandaged.
''Calm down Victoria, we will take it off once you are calm.'' One of the doctors spoke up
''Bernard what have you done.'' Victoria yelled with anger. She just couldn't believe the fact that her face was no longer the same.
''What have you done to me.'' She murmured in tears as she moved her hands all over her face in panic.
''Take this off, I want to see my face.'' She panicked while she tries to take off the bandage, but Bernard held her hands.
''Stop it Vicky.''
''Don't tell me to calm down, what have you done to me, what have you done to my face.'' She blurted out in tears, which broke Bernard's heart into pieces. This was what he feared, this was what he never wanted to happen, but he just can't let Victoria live with a disfigured and damaged face.
''Loose this up.'' She yelled angrily,
''Fine, they will, just calm down.'' He pleaded as he tried to touch her, but she shoved his hand away.
Taking a deep breath, he stared at the doctor and gave him a go ahead nod before standing on his feet.
''I will take off the bandage.'' One of the doctors sat on the bed beside her and began losing the bandaged.
With fear, Victoria closed her eyes and wondered what kind of face she was wearing and wondered how she was going to get used to this strange face.
After few minutes the bandaged was loosened off and the doctors all wore big smiles on their faces at the perfection of their work.
''You can open your eyes, Vicky.'' Bernard pleaded, and slowly she opened her eyes.
''Do you feel pains or discomfort anywhere.'' The doctor asked, but got no response from Victoria.
''I want to see my face. Someone get me a mirror.'' She murmured in fear, waiting for the worst to happen.
''Show her the mirror.'' The Doctor said those words to the nurse, who was already holding a big mirror in her hands. She stood before Victoria and placed the mirror before her.
''Woah.'' Victoria exclaimed at the reflection of her new look on the mirror, indeed, this was not what she was expecting.
Her red long hair was no longer red, but rather she has thick naturally curly hair that hangs a little bit below her shoulders. Her v shaped face was no longer there, but rather it was replaced with a wide round face and pointed chin. Luckily, for her, the color of her eyes were still the same, but the nature of her nose was no longer pointed, but rather it was short, and a little turned up at the end.
In as much as she was angry that she lost her face, but she was a bit relieved that the face she was putting on has a striking appearance.
Slowly, she placed her hand on her face and gently ran her fingers from her nose down to her lips and to her cheek.
''You like it.'' Bernard asked with relief as he noticed the look on her face.
''Whose face am I wearing.'' She asked, wanting to know the personality of the person she was wearing.
''She is late doctor, Agustina, she works here in this hospital and died few days after your arrival, four months ago.'' A doctor spoke up
''What killed her.'' She asked, getting curious, she really wants to know the face of the woman she was carrying.
''A hole in the heart, she has a hole in her heart and She knew she has little time on her, so she decided to give her face to you once she is dead. It was her decision to give her face to you, and her sister is aware of this.'' Another doctor added.
Hearing this information from the doctors Made Victoria gulped and stared at the mirror one more time as she took a lock of her hair and strokes it
''The hair is yours, we just cut it down and dyed the color.'' The Doctor explained, as he saw the confusions in her eyes.
''You are lucky to have this face, scientist Agustina was an amazing doctor, friendly and a Very good person.'' The doctor praised as he wore a sad look on his face, while Vicky just nodded her head and stared back at the mirror.
The surgery was done so perfectly that you will never know she was the one unless she tells you
''My voice, how did you do it?''
''It's a magician's touch.'' One of the doctors spoke with a big smile on his face, and all Vicky could do was to nod her head.
''Alright, we will be back to examine you.'' The doctors smiled at Vicky, who gave a weak smile in return before they left.
The room was quiet, and Bernard or Victoria did not know what to say, there were so many things to talk about but didn't know who will speak first.
''Thank you!'' Victoria spoke after several minutes of silence
''I know this must have cost you a lot.'' She murmured,
''It's nothing, I would do anything for you.'' He spoke sincerely with a big smile on his face, which made Victoria wanted to smile back, but then she remembered alpha Derick and a big frown platter on her face.
''I thought he loved me, we were supposed to be mates, but he handed me to them so easily like I meant nothing to him.'' She murmured those words both in pain and anger as memories of that day played in her head.
''Let's not talk about that.'' Bernard pleaded and pulled her into a tight hug.
He knew he should tell her the truth, he knew there was a secret she was supposed to know, but then he was scared he was scared that he would lose her the minute he says those words to her, and he was damn right.
''I'm going to make him pay.'' Victoria murmured in his arms as she sniffles deeply.
''I will kill him, he will die a slow and painful death.'' Victoria said those words as a promise to herself.
