"What happened? Why is Mia's face bleeding?"
"Oh my, that wound looks so deep, won't it leave a scar?"
"Mia is the most beautiful female in the tribe, if her face is ruined, will her beast husbands still want her?"
...
The crowd buzzed with voices of discussion.
Some were shocked, some gloated, and others sneakily glanced at Luna Sutton with complex expressions.
Maya squeezed through the crowd, and upon seeing Mia's ruined face, a glint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
But she feigned a worried expression, quickly approaching and exclaimed dramatically, "Sister, how's your face? Oh no, there's so much blood, will it leave a scar? It mustn't scar, or your beast husbands will despise you..."
Her words seemed caring, but each one was like a stab to Mia's heart.
