Elizabeth Thompson looked at Aurora in the eye, her expression resolute.

She was indeed confident in curing Fiona Knight.

Not 80%.

But 100%!

Saying she had only an 80% chance of success was an understatement.

Elizabeth believed that a person should always act humbly.

Aurora stared at Elizabeth, her expression a mix of complexity and uncertainty.

After a moment, Elizabeth continued, “Mrs. Knight, Chinese medicine emphasizes the importance of doctor-patient fate and trust. If you do not trust me, then it could only mean that I do not have the right medical fate with Miss

Knight.”

At this point, Elizabeth stood up, “Your time is valuable, and since Miss Knight and I do not have the medical fate, I will not disturb you.”

This was the dignity of a healer.

If Aurora didn’t trust her, it was her loss.

She would regret it eventually.

Just as Elizabeth was about to leave, Aurora spoke up: “Miss Thompson, please wait!”

Elizabeth turned back and looked at Aurora, still wearing a gentle and graceful demeanor.

“Mrs. Knight, do you have anything else to say?” Aurora looked at Elizabeth, “Miss Thompson, I believe you.”

After all, Elizabeth was Alan Onda’s disciple.

Alan Onda had the title of Bian Que in the world.

Due to Fiona’s disfigurement, in recent years, she had become more and more self-conscious and timid. As her mother, Aurora couldn’t bear to see her daughter like this.

so.

She chose to believe in Elizabeth.

Aurora continued, “Miss Thompson, I entrust my daughter to your care.”

Elizabeth smiled faintly, “Thank you for your trust. As a healer, it is our responsibility to save lives and heal the injured.”

Aurora asked, “Miss Thompson, when can you start treating my daughter?”

Elizabeth replied, “I need to take a look at Miss Knight’s face to determine which herbs are needed.” “I’ll call Fiona in.”

“Alright.” Elizabeth nodded.

It wasn’t long before Fiona came in, “Mom.”

“Fiona.” Aurora walked over and held Fiona’s hand, “Show Miss Thompson your face.

Upon hearing this, Fiona raised her head to look at Elizabeth, her eyes revealing an indescribable expression.

She had gone through too much disappointment.

Now, she didn’t have any expectations left.

Elizabeth approached her and kindly said, “Miss Knight, please remove your mask.”

Fiona was taken aback.

She really didn’t want anyone to see her scarred face.

She couldn’t stand the strange looks from others.

“Fiona dear,” Aurora said softly, “let Miss Thompson have a look.”

Elizabeth continued, “Miss Knight, there is no distinction between beauty and ugliness in the eyes of a doctor. My mission is to heal your face.”

Biting her lip, Fiona slowly removed her mask.

Although Elizabeth had mentally prepared herself for Fiona’s scarred face, she was still shocked when she saw it up close.

Most of Fiona’s face was covered with scars left by burns, grotesque and frightening. It was no wonder it scared children in the past.

Seeing the strange look on Elizabeth’s face, Fiona hurriedly put her mask back on.

She thought Elizabeth wouldn’t be scared.bender

But she didn’t expect…

Aurora looked at Elizabeth, “Miss Thompson, what do you think?”

Suppressing her panic, Elizabeth said, “Miss Knight’s scars are quite severe. I’ll go back and prepare the medicine. It should take about 15 days to gather all the necessary herbs. I will then visit Miss Knight to treat her.”

With just a glance, Elizabeth quickly assessed Fiona’s facial condition.

Any ordinary person would find it impossible to treat such longstanding burn scars.

But who was she?

She was Elizabeth Thompson!

She was 100% confident that she could heal Fiona.

As long as she cured Fiona, she would become Fiona’s reborn parent! By then, whatever she said, the Knight Family would have to obey.

“Miss Thompson, thank you so much!” Aurora was overjoyed.

Elizabeth smiled faintly, “Mrs. Knight, as I’ve said before, this is a doctor’s responsibility.”Aurora Scouts grew increasingly fond of Elizabeth Thompson.

After the consultation, Mrs. Knight and the others exchanged greetings and then left with Fiona Knight.

The topic of conversation returned to Elizabeth Thompson.

“Miss Thompson is so outstanding, and she’s a skilled doctor too. She should be able to find a great husband. It’s such a pity that the Lentz Clan’s…” The words ‘good-for-nothing’ were on the tip of Mrs. Lee’s tongue but she swiftly diverted them, “their third son!”

Although Terrence Lentz is a good-for-nothing, he is still Elizabeth’s future husband, so they have to give him some face in front of her.

Hearing this, Olga’s expression remained unchanged, and she said with a smile, “Mrs. Lee, you must have misremembered! The one who has a marriage contract with the Lentz Clan’s third son is my eldest daughter, Viola

Thompson.”

Eldest daughter?

Everyone remembered that Reg Thompson and Olga had an adopted daughter.

“Right, right,” Mrs. Lee quickly responded with a smile, “It’s my mistake! It’s my mistake!”

Mrs. Lee beside her chimed in, “There are so many people in River City who want to pursue Miss Thompson, that they could line up all the way to Cloud City! What on earth makes the third son of the Lentz Clan think he is worthy enough to be with Miss Thompson? In my opinion, Miss Thompson is worthy of Mr. Terrence!”

Mr. Terrence is a well-known Boss in Sinian Country.

Not only in Sinian Country, but his presence is also fearsome even internationally.

Three years ago, he founded the General Chamber of Commerce, which has occupied a place internationally. All merchants of Sinian Country conduct business under his protection.

At the same time, he is also seen as the guardian and guiding light for these merchants.

However, Mr. Terrence is very mysterious, and has never shown his face in the financial newspapers, so the outside world is very curious about him.

When Mr. Terrence was mentioned, a hint of shyness crossed Elizabeth Thompson’s face.

Mr. Terrence is both her idol and her ideal type.

After all, as the protagonist, she can either remain unmarried or marry the most eye-catching person!

Although she has never met Mr. Terrence yet, she believes that one day he will bow down to her.

Excellent people always attract each other!

The tea party ended.

Olga asked, “Elizabeth, are you sure you can heal Miss Knight’s injury?” “Don’t worry. I can definitely help Fiona Knight regain her previous appearance.”

After hearing this, Olga was very excited, “Elizabeth, our Thompson Clan’s glory will depend on you in the future!”

Not to mention River City, even in the entire Sinian Country, there was no second girl like Elizabeth Thompson who was so outstanding.

“Hmm.” Elizabeth Thompson nodded.

She was confident that she could lead the Thompson Clan to the peak of the wealthy and powerful.

Olga continued, “Elizabeth, if you can really marry Mr. Terrence, your mom will know that her life wasn’t lived in vain!”

After all, that’s Mr. Terrence!

He’s like a deity!

Although Elizabeth Thompson didn’t say anything, her eyes were full of determination to win him over.

Today is the day when Old Doctor Bruce is scheduled to do a follow-up check-up for Edith Bennett.

Three days have passed and Edith Bennett’s facial injury indeed showed significant recovery.

After checking the pulse, Old Doctor Bruce lifted his hand and stroked his snow-white beard, “Mr. and Mrs. Bennett, and Mr. Wilson, you can rest assured that Miss Bennett is all right now! She will be able to see the sun in half a month.’

“Really?” Edith Bennett was very excited.

Old Doctor Bruce nodded.

He had been practicing medicine for so many years, and rarely made any mistakes.

“Thank you.” Linda Wilson took out a bank card, “Please accept a little token of appreciation. ”

Of course, Old Doctor Bruce wouldn’t refuse as he was making a living by practicing medicine, “If there’s any problem, you can have Mr. Wilson contact me.”

“Alright.” Harriet Bennett sent Old Doctor Bruce off.

Inside the house.

Linda Wilson was very happy, looking at Angus Wilson and said, “This Old

Doctor Bruce is indeed as amazing as people say!”

Angus Wilson smiled and said, “Of course! After all, he is a descendant of Bian

Que!”

Edith Bennett touched her healing face and finally showed a long-lost smile,

“Uncle, thank you.”

Angus Wilson patted Edith Bennett on the head, “Silly child!” The next morning.

A shriek shattered the tranquility of the Bennett’s house.

Linda and Harriet Bennett rushed to their daughter’s bedroom immediately, their faces full of worry, “Edith, what’s wrong?”

Edith Bennett covered her face with both hands and cried sorrowfully, “Mom! Dad! What will I do? My face has rotten! My face is ruined!”

“Edith, it’s okay, let mom take a look at your face!” Linda Wilson calmed down and spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, Edith Bennett slowly squatted down on the bed and loosened her hands.

Seeing Edith Bennett’s face, both Linda Wilson and Harriet Bennett were shocked!

Only to see Edith Bennett’s face, which had been gradually recovering, was now actually rotting away. Yellowish-white pus oozed from the wounds, creating a shocking sight. Moreover, there was even a faintly foul smell in the air.

Linda Wilson immediately turned to Harriet Bennett, “Quickly get Angus over here!”
