Charles was amused by the joke. After laughing a few times, he spoke again, "I know I look terrible right now, but there's no time to deal with this. Once everything settles down, I'll figure out a way to heal myself. Please bear with me for a while."
"Whatever. It's not like I look much better. But if you go see other women looking like this, they'll definitely be disgusted by you."
As Anna spoke, she suddenly thought of something. A thin crevice split open on her forehead, and a black and red Spider crawled out, then burrowed into Charles's shriveled right eye socket.
"Phew… Thanks, that's much clearer," Charles said, rubbing his eye.
"Be careful with that. These are rare in the Abyss-Sea. If you use up all the Spiders on Redwood Island, you really will end up a one-eyed freak."
Charles gazed at Anna with a smile, lightly running his hand over her shoulder. "Anna, are you hiding something from me?"
