Chapter 115

• Ellis, sensing the conservative gaze of the lady on her marked body, chose to ignore the judgment and focused on the nausea that hit her at that moment. She tried to hold herself back, fighting the urge to vomit, while the assistant skillfully took her measurements.
• "Oh, my dear, these marks on your body... they are so... prominent, especially on your pale skin. Aren't you afraid that it might compromise your image?" the assistant inquired.
