MasukTime flew by. The day of the skin graft surgery arrived quickly.
Even though Elena viewed Luana as a rival, her professional ethics and skill were excellent. She didn't sabotage Luana at all during the procedure.
To ease Luana's pain, she even used expensive medicine during the post-op care.
Luana stayed in the hospital bed for another two months. After surviving countless sessions of extreme pain, her body finally started recovering.
On the day she was discharged, Luana stood in front of the bathroom mirror. She turned sideways to look at her back.
She still had some scars, but most of the skin had healed pretty well. It wasn't as shocking to look at as before.
She was satisfied with the result. She turned on the faucet to wash her hands, then walked out of the bathroom.
Clarissa was packing the luggage. She saw Luana come out and asked, "Do you want to take the clothes in the closet with us?"
Luana looked at the rows of men's

Eva walked over. She opened the door. When she saw the person outside, Eva froze for a second. Then a joyful smile spread across her face."Dr. Elena!"Elena wore a white women's suit. Her bright, pretty face held an elegant, poised smile."Dr. Woodward, I heard you have a patient with severe acid burns on her back. I came to see if I could help.""That is WONDERFUL! I've been trying to call you constantly, but couldn't get through. I can't believe you came to our hospital on your own."Compared to Eva's excitement, Elena seemed quite calm. "Take me to see the patient first."Eva nodded gently. She led Elena into the room.Eva was about to introduce Elena to Luana. But Elena walked straight to Luana. She held out her pale hand."Miss Hammond, hello. I'm Elena."Luana and Clarissa were both stunned. Eva was confused too. How did Elena know Luana?Out of politeness, Luana reached out. She briefly shook Elena's hand.
Clarissa was still angry. She searched her phone for Erasmus, wanting to see what right he had to be so arrogant.But after reading Erasmus's resume, Clarissa decided to let it go. It wasn't worth arguing with such an expert.She put her phone down casually. She asked Luana softly, "Luana, are you hungry? I can grab you something to eat."Luana gently shook her head. Her vision was starting to blur. Clarissa's figure looked less and less clear. "Clarissa, I brought a box of medicine when I moved to your house. Could you bring it next time you come?"Clarissa instinctively looked at Luana's chest. She asked nervously, "Are you skipping the anti-rejection meds? Is your heart hurting?"Luana blinked her tired eyes. "After crying a few times, my vision got a little blurry."Clarissa heard that. She touched Luana's forehead with worry. "I'll go back and get your medicine right now."Luana wanted to tell her to take her time, but Clarissa w
Eva scoffed inwardly, but kept a polite smile on her face. "Yes, she is. And you are?"He pulled a business card from his inner jacket pocket and handed it to her. "My name is Erasmus Atkinson."Eva's lips curled slightly when she saw the gold-embossed card that read "Erasmus Atkinson, Chief Designer, Veridian Architecture Inc." "Hello."Erasmus took her hand. He pressed the card into her palm. He smiled charmingly. "If you need a house designed, you can contact me. I'll give you a twenty percent discount."He quickly turned toward the room. The moment he faced away, the smile vanished.Erasmus stopped at the door. He put the smile back on and knocked. "Miss Hammond, may I come in?"Clarissa was massaging Luana's legs. She looked up at the man outside. "Who are you?"Erasmus leaned one hand on the door frame. He smoothed back the perfectly layered hair on his forehead. "Erasmus."Luana heard the name. She remembered Dorian had mentioned sending someone to teach her about architecture.
He saw the caller ID. He didn't want to answer, but he had requested a favor from this person. He reluctantly hit accept.He frowned and used a long finger to slide the unlock button, his voice cold, "What do you want?"A gentle voice answered from the other end. "Cline, shouldn't I be asking you that?"Cline's expression was icy. He clearly didn't want to talk.The person knew his temper. She didn't beat around the bush. She went straight to the price, "You want me back in the country to reconstruct her burns and repair the damaged skin. Agree to one condition."A flicker of annoyance crossed Cline's eyes. "Name your price in cash. Don't give me conditions."She chuckled. Her tone remained soft, "I could. But I'm the only person globally who can take this kind of deep chemical burn and make it nearly perfect. If you want to negotiate, we talk. If not, I'm hanging up—"She was about to disconnect. Cline's voice cut in, cold and
She always thought Cline wasn't interested because she wasn't good enough. That was why she went abroad and worked hard to reinvent herself.Who would have thought that a man usually so cold to romance would secretly keep a girl who looked vaguely like her after she left?She planned everything, but she never saw this coming. The woman looked like her. So shy was he not interested in Runa?The thought of a germaphobe who wouldn't even touch her, yet held another woman while doing that, drove Runa insane.She glared at the emotionless Cline. She screamed hysterically, "Cline, no matter what, you promised Cohenli you'd marry me! You CAN'T break your word!"The smile on Cline's thin lips became colder. "You tried to get close to me. You deceived Cohenli. And you want me to marry you? DREAM ON!"He hadn't known the reason before. He might have married Runa for his brother's last wish. But now...Cline raised a long hand. He crooked a fing
