The more he denied it, the guiltier he seemed. The more he explained, the more obvious that she guessed it correct.

She stared at his tightly wrapped face and asked, "You conceal your face so well. Are you disfigured?"

Carl didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Jessica, you have filmed scenes of being burned. If my face was burned, would I still be able to stand in front of you and talk to you like this? Where is your head?"

Jessica was just concerned about him, but she didn't expect he would rebuke her instead.

She sneered, "Then why do you wrap yourself up so tightly? Are you afraid that others would hit you when they know you burned your apartment while cooking and made so many neighbors freeze for so long?"

Carl's thoughts were more or less like that.
