Underneath The Gloves
Sasquatch held his breath. For the first time that day, he was finally about to see Lotus' hands and he didn't know what to expect.
The unpredictable woman slowly slipped the gloves off and placed them on the child's bedside table. She then pressed her left hand to her forehead and put her right hand on the child's cheek with a serious expression.
From the foot of the bed, Sasquatch ran his eyes across both hands and almost choked.
Scars...
Her hands were indeed covered in scars! Just as Halia had said, these scars were left from thin, deliberate cuts, like some kind of branding...
Sasquatch was horrified!
Normally, when Sasquatch caught a criminal, he would feel hatred and disgust, but today...he actually felt pity and sympathy. How did Lotus have these scars? Why did she have these scars? Who gave her these scars?!
