Chapter 634

"The sun is too strong out here. Let's go inside." Vivian Laurent shielded her eyes from the glaring sunlight.

Emily Garnache pulled Fiona Grandelle's hand eagerly. "Quick, let me see your face!"

Fiona took a deep breath and slowly removed her face mask.

The once scar-ridden face now looked flawless. Her porcelain skin glowed like pearls under the sunlight, blue eyes clear as mountain lakes.

"Oh my God!" Emily gasped. "Fiona, you look like a princess from a fairy tale!"

Fiona's ears turned pink. "Don't say that... I'm just glad I can finally go outside like a normal person."

Her fingers brushed against her cheek where scars used to be. No more strange stares from strangers.

Vivian smiled warmly. "Congratulations, Fiona. You're truly beautiful now."

"All thanks to you, Vivian..." Fiona's eyes grew misty. "Without you, I'd still be that monster afraid to look in mirrors."

"Don't say that." Vivian shook her head gently. "I only removed the scars. Your features were always lovely. But remember, appearance isn't everything. Some people won't like you regardless - don't let it bother you."

Emily suddenly interjected angrily. "Exactly! Even someone as perfect as Vivian gets accused of killing patients!"

"What?" Fiona looked at Vivian in shock.

"The Bianca Semona incident." Vivian shrugged calmly. "Grieving families say irrational things. I don't take it personally."

"But..." Fiona bit her lip.

Changing the subject, she asked hesitantly, "Will Dr. Fairsprene be coming today?"

Vivian's eyes twinkled with amusement. "Missing him already?"

"I-I was just asking casually!" Fiona's face flushed deeper. "Does he... not want to see me?"

"Of course not." Vivian patted her shoulder. "He's swamped at the hospital. If you want to see him, we can visit directly."

"Really?" Fiona's eyes instantly brightened.

Emily immediately raised her hand. "I'm coming too!"

When they arrived at the hospital, Fiona unexpectedly ordered afternoon tea for a hundred staff members.

"Someone's using hospitality as an excuse?" Emily teased, poking Fiona's side.

Fiona buried her face in her scarf. "That's not it at all!"
