Chapter 17

Of course, Daphne remembered none of that.

However, she was good at observing and reading other people's expressions. She noticed how peculiar Tristan was behaving that day and how he had kept looking at her arms when she had gotten there.

"You've got no idea how gruesome the scars on my arms were after the wounds healed. Fortunately, I had a surgical procedure after that to have them removed."

Daphne vividly remembered the wounds on Yvette's arms. She had met Yvette the day of the accident and had also asked about the scars.

Had it been in the past, Tristan would have undoubtedly believed her words. But he had his reservations now.
