Chapter 1757: Chapter 1760 Complete Disfigurement
One night passed, and Tara Hammond finally awakened.
When she woke up, she found her right eye covered with gauze. As she slightly tried to move her lips and make a sound, the entire right side of her face felt as if it was being cut by a knife.
“Uh…” A painful and hoarse sound escaped Tara Hammond’s throat.
“Mom, mother… you’re awake!” Evelyn Lucas was lying by the bedside, and when she heard the sound, she lifted her head.
“Eve…lyn…” Tara Hammond felt her throat was very dry, making speaking difficult.
“Mom, don’t worry, I’ll call the doctor.”
Soon, the doctor arrived.
After examining Tara Hammond, Evelyn Lucas gave her some water to drink, and only then could Tara speak again.
The first thing she said wasn’t to ask about Theodore Lucas, who harmed her, nor about the injuries on her face, but instead she asked, “Where’s your father? I was injured and admitted to the hospital; why isn’t your father here watching over me?”
Tara Hammond was always a sensitive woman.
She was completely different from Emily Taylor; even the slightest change in a man would make her wary.
“Mom, don’t worry… Dad went to catch Theodore Lucas; he said he wanted to catch him to avenge you and ease your discomfort.”
Upon hearing this, Tara Hammond’s anxious heart finally settled a bit.
Indeed, Theodore Lucas slashed her face; if they didn’t capture him and torture him to death, it would be too lenient on him.
“Evelyn, how’s my face? Was it cut by a knife? Quickly help me contact a hospital in H country; I want to go for cosmetic surgery restoration.”
Tara Hammond felt the wound on her face, and with the right side being covered by gauze, her first thought was that her face had been disfigured by Theodore Lucas.
Theodore Lucas, that useless old fellow, fallen from grace and still wanting to drag her down too!
Fortunately, medical technology is advanced now.
Tara Hammond wasn’t worried about her face at all; as long as she could go to H country for plastic surgery, it would be fine.
“Mom… you, you can’t go abroad temporarily…” Evelyn Lucas hesitated, knowing how much Tara Hammond cared about her appearance and demeanor.
However, that slash had turned her into a ghost.
The truth was too cruel, and Evelyn Lucas didn’t know how to tell Tara Hammond.
“Why? Hiss…” In her urgency, she tugged on the wound on her face, and Tara Hammond gasped.
“Mom, you… don’t get excited.”
“Evelyn Lucas, why, tell me why? What’s wrong with my face, speak—”
Tara Hammond couldn’t remain calm.
The more cautious Evelyn Lucas acted, the more anxious and afraid Tara Hammond felt.
“Mom, I…” Evelyn Lucas knew she couldn’t hide it, pursed her lips, and reluctantly told Tara Hammond, “It’s not just a disfigurement; the dagger punctured your eyeball. Now… now your right eye is damaged, and there’s temporarily no way to perform a restoration surgery.”
“You… what are you saying…?” Tara Hammond felt dizzy, wishing she would just pass out.
“Mom, the most important thing now is to save your right eye, preventing the eyeball from shrinking. We’ll figure out the other things later. Rest assured, with today’s advanced medical technology, there will definitely be a way…”
Tara Hammond couldn’t hear anything Evelyn Lucas was saying anymore.
“Disfigured… completely disfigured…”
“Can’t return, can never return…”
Tara Hammond muttered to herself, and as she spoke, her vision suddenly went black, and she fell back.

Meanwhile, Theodore Lucas was fleeing for his life.
Robbie Bright was incredibly powerful in B City, especially with his underground forces, which were so vast that they could block out the sky.
Finding a beggar who couldn’t move was as easy as turning a hand for him.
In less than half a day, Robbie Bright captured Theodore Lucas and threw him into a small broken factory building.
