Henry shrugged. “Of course I’m worried, but he needs to show some worth. I’d feel dignified if Peter is even half the man Frank is.”
Peter snapped in annoyance, “Is that what you think, Grandpa? That I’m lacking so much compared to Frank Lawrence?!”
“You’ve really gone senile.” Gina snorted grumpily. “It’s that man’s fault Helen’s face got disfigured.”
Henry frowned. “How could you blame Frank? Moreover, it was him who asked Flora Hall to make an ointment for Helen.”
“Haha!” Gina laughed out loud. “Whatever goes on in that head of yours, really? Does Frank Lawrence have any say in Flora Hall?”
“Then how did Dan Zimmer know that Helen was hurt?” Henry shot back, already.convinced that it was Frank. “Did you tell him?”
Gina folded her arms before her chest and sneered. “Greg Marsh called Dan himself. That’s why Dan agreed to help.”
Henry replied, “Who the hell is Greg Marsh?”
“My former classmate,” Gina said smugly. “He owns a company, and he’s at partner of Riverton’s commerce guild.”
Henry was perplexed–was Frank really not involved in this?
On the other hand, Peter came up with an idea. “Mom, why don’t you ask Mr. Marsh to propose for me?”
Gina actually thought that would work. “I’ll tell him some other day.”
“Great!” Peter exclaimed excitedly.
Henry pursed his lips. “You should be properly working on yourself, or it’d just be fruitless.”
Either way, Henry did not hold out hope for the proposal, since Dan was never going to be interested in his grandson.
Later, Gina brought her son along and hurried to Helen’s ward, not forgetting to call Greg along the way.
“Hello? Gina? What is it?” Greg asked from his office.
“Great news!” Gina could not hold back her excitement. “Mr. Zimmer delivered the medicine. He said that Helen would make a full recovery once she applies it! Thank you so much, Greg!”
“Oh…” Greg was certainly astounded that Dan would work so quickly, but he promptly laughed. “Haha! That’s really great news! Are you going to the hospital too? I’ll be there too.”
He was nervous since he did nothing and had planned to see what Dan’s ointment would do.
“I’m on my way to the hospital right now. See you around,” Gina said, and happily hung up.
They arrived at Helen’s ward at noon, and as everyone watched, Helen applied the ointment that was supposedly from Dan.
“How do you feel?” Gina quickly asked once she was done.
Helen frowned. “It feels a little hot…”
“You’ll be fine soon,” Gina assured her.
By evening, the ointment caked into a layer akin to a face mask on Helen’s cheek, and she peeled it off with Gina’s help.
“Oooh…” Gina could not help gasping when she saw Helen’s face.
Beside her, Greg was staring fixedly at Helen, gulping as he marveled at Helen’s natural beauty… And that she certainly eclipsed her own mother!
At the same time, Helen promptly picked up a mirror to check her face.
Her cheeks were fair and flawless again. If anything, her perfect visage was even more beautiful now!
