Helen was sitting quietly on her bed, her phone put aside in silent mode.
The screen suddenly lit up, and she promptly recognized the caller’s number as Frank’s since she had memorized it.
She hung up without hesitation, thinking herself now a cripple and afraid to suffer Frank’s ridicule.
Frank called twice more after that, but she kept hanging up on him before blocking him.
Just then, Gina entered with Greg, and she promptly asked, “Look who’s here, Helen!”
Helen, who was still depressed, promptly scowled. “Get out.”
“It’s alright Helen. He’s here to help…”
Greg had already walked up to Helen before Gina finished, and he was certainly impressed inwardly with Helen’s pretty face. To think that Gina’s daughter boasted such natural beauty…
What a shame that the facial scar ruined it, leaving her looking gruesome instead.
“Who are you? Get out!” Helen snapped angrily and picked up a pillow to throw at Greg.
“You probably won’t remember me, but I used to carry you around when you were a baby,” Greg replied nonchalantly. “Also, I came with good news–Mr. Zimmer has agreed to treat you. You won’t have that scar soon enough.”
Dan did tell Greg that someone was going to help Helen, and he just had to play it off as his own

Helen turned hesitantly toward Greg, surprised that her mother’s former classmate was such a
successful man.
Gina said proudly just then, “Helen, shouldn’t you thank Mr. Marsh?”
“T–Thank you, Mr. Marsh…” Helen stammered.
Right now, what she wanted most was for her face to recover. She would certainly be grateful if Greg could do that much.
“Don’t worry,” Greg assured her confidently. “Just rest and get better. Your face will soon be cured,

and you’ll still be Riverton’s most beautiful woman.”
Gina wrapped her hands around Greg’s arm without knowing it. “Peter will take care of you tonight. I’ll be busy…”
Helen certainly noticed the strangeness and frowned. “Why don’t you stay here with me tonight,
Mom?”
Gina shot her a glare. “You’re an adult. Do you still need me around?”
Helen was speechless, but she already could guess what Gina was up to tonight.
She would never stop her mother from pursuing her own happiness, but was this not a little too fast?
Meanwhile, Frank gave up after calling Helen a few times–it was clear that she was not going to
