Hearing this, Linda’s expression immediately brightened up, and she said to the housekeeper, “Quick! Invite Miss Thompson in!”
She’s here.
Viola Thompson had finally arrived.
Linda knew that Viola would not run away.
At this moment, Linda’s excitement was beyond words.
Edith Bennett thought she was hallucinating, so she stopped crying and looked towards the door.
Then, a slender figure entered the room from outside the door.
With her long hair over her shoulder, her face was free of makeup, yet her natural beauty was breathtaking.
“Miss Thompson.”bender
Edith called out.
Viola Thompson walked over with her medical box, “I apologize for the delay, there was an issue on the road that held me up.”
Mrs. Wilson looked over as well.
With just one glance, she was stunned and couldn’t help but think of a poem.
A beautiful lady in the north, unrivaled and independent. One glance can topple a city, another glance can topple a country.
Mrs. Wilson never imagined that the rumored Miss Thompson would be this beautiful.
Even movie stars did not have her appearance and temperament.
Seeing Viola, Harriet Bennett was also stunned.
Didn’t Viola run away?
How could she dare to come back?
Could it be that she really had the confidence to restore Edith’s appearance?
Linda walked to Viola’s side and smiled, “It’s alright. Miss Thompson, did you encounter any trouble on the way here?”
“It’s already taken care of,” Viola replied.
“That’s good,” Linda continued. “If you need any help, just let us know, don’t be polite.”
Viola agreed with a smile, and then took Edith’s pulse.
After a moment, she released Edith’s wrist and asked, “How did you feel last night?”
“At first it was very uncomfortable when I had a fever, but after I fell asleep, I couldn’t feel anything, ” Edith replied.
Viola nodded faintly, “We’ll do one more acupuncture treatment, and then we can remove the gauze.”
“When?”
Viola took out an acupuncture bag from her medical box, “Right now.”
“Let’s go to the room.”
“Okay.”
Linda and the others also stood up and followed.
Viola looked back and said, “You guys wait in the living room. We’ll be out in about half an hour.
“Alright,” Linda nodded.
Just as Viola’s figure was about to disappear into the distance, Harriet suddenly asked, “Miss Thompson, how confident are you that you can heal Edith’s face?”
“Eight out of ten,” Viola answered.
“I thought Miss Thompson would say ten out of ten.”
Viola didn’t explain further, only saying, “Mr. Bennett, please be patient and wait for the result.
With that, Viola turned around and left.
Harriet looked at Linda, “She said she had eight out of ten chances to restore Edith’s face, how much do you believe her?”
Linda replied, “Ten out of ten.”
Harriet said, “In my opinion, even three out of ten isn’t believable. If she were really that capable, she wouldn’t have left herself a way out.”
Viola’s tardiness had shown a guilty conscience, and now she was leaving herself an escape route.
How could such a person really have any skills?
“Can’t you tell that Miss Thompson was just being modest?” Linda retorted. Harriet turned to look at Angus Wilson, “Angus, what do you think?”
“I also believe in Miss Thompson,” Angus was a hardcore fan of Viola.
Harriet shook his head helplessly, sighing, “You two siblings really won’t turn back until you hit the wall.”
In the room.
Before the acupuncture, Viola lit a stick of incense.
The fragrance was quite unique, with a sweet citrus scent, a touch of sandalwood, and a faint hint of lime.
Edith curiously asked, “Miss Thompson, what kind of incense is this? It smells so good.”
“This is Jiazhu Fragrance.”
Edith nodded, “The name itself sounds nice.
The aroma of Jiazhu Fragrance soon filled the entire room, and without even realizing it, Edith fell asleep.
Half an hour later, she was awakened by Viola again.
Gazing at the clock on the wall, Edith exclaimed in surprise, “Miss Thompson, has it been half an hour already?”
“Yes.” Viola nodded slightly. “Let’s go to the living room.”
Edith covered her face with her hands, “Miss Thompson, can we remove the gauze right away?
“Yes.”
Immediately, Edith got up from the bed, “Let’s hurry to the living room.”
Soon, the two arrived in the living room.
At the moment, Edith was very nervous.
She felt the gauze on her face being slowly peeled away by Viola, layer by layer.
As Viola removed the gauze, a faint fragrance emitted from her fingertips wafted to Edith’s nose.
Very subtle.
Linda, Harriet, Angus, and Mrs. Wilson all stared intently at Edith.
Finally, the last layer of gauze was removed.
However, seeing Edith’s face, everyone was taken aback.
Harriet had a ‘I knew it all along’ expression on his face.
Edith smiled at her parents, “Mom, Dad, do I look good?”
Linda covered her mouth, her eyes filled with panic, not knowing how to answer her daughter’s question.
Harriet looked at Viola, “Miss Thompson, my daughter originally only had a problem with half of her face, but now her entire face has changed. Please explain!”
They saw that Edith’s face, instead of improving, had turned black, thick as if she had put on a black facial mask.
“What happened to my face?” Hearing this, Edith immediately stood up from the sofa.
“Mr. Bennett, please calm down,” Viola said, then turned to Edith, “Edith, go wash your face first, then come back.”
“Okay.”
Edith immediately went to the bathroom to wash her face.
In a short while-
A sudden scream came from the direction of the bathroom.
Harriet’s heart skipped a beat.
Edith must have had an accident.
Before they could react, Edith ran out of the bathroom, with a mix of tears and laughter, unable to contain her excitement. “Mom, Dad! Look at my face! My face is healed!”
From the accident until now, Edith had never been as excited as she was at this moment.
Harriet stared at his daughter, whose face had completely recovered, and was completely dumbfounded.
His face was full of incredulous disbelief.
She’s healed.
It really is.
Linda hugged Edith, almost bursting into tears, “Edith!”
Linda had never had a good night’s sleep since Edith’s disfigurement. She had only her one precious daughter, Edith.
Mrs. Wilson came to Edith’s side and examined her face carefully, exclaiming in surprise, “It’s really healed!”
This was truly a miracle.
Remember, Edith’s face was initially declared incurable by doctors.
“Miss Thompson, thank you,” Edith looked at Viola with gratitude in her eyes.
Linda wiped away the tears on her face, “Miss Thompson, you are the savior of our Bennett family.”
With that, Linda pushed Harriet.
Looking at Viola, Harriet felt some guilt.
After all, just moments ago, he was doubting Viola.
If it weren’t for his wife and daughter insisting on letting Viola treat Edith, she would have missed the chance to heal.
Apart from guilt, all that was left was regret.
Shortly after, Harriet walked up to Viola and said, “Miss Thompson, thank you for giving our Edith a new life. I shouldn’t have questioned your medical skills earlier.. I apologize to you here and now!”
