"Oh! Is it like one of those situations? Enemies to lovers?"
Maria's mother suddenly said something very dangerous and this time it was Maria's turn to almost have a heart attack. Immediately her mother mentioned lovers, Maria felt the phantom pain of Arit's hand around her neck threatening to kill her if she even mentioned Mark's name again, and Maria held her heart in shock as she had to sit down. Was her mother mad!? Maria couldn't even think of going after Mark! Not when that crazy bitch was his girlfriend!
Now that Maria was in school, she didn't want the bandage to draw attention so she covered it up with her hair at first. But since she knew that the hair wouldn't be enough to stop someone like Turner from seeing that she was hiding something, she decided that she would take off the bandage and cover the injury with makeup instead.
