Cynthia was dispirited and only lifelessly greeted Sean when virtual-novel.net came in.
Sean did not take it seriously. He only walked up to Cynthia and reached out to remove the mask from virtual-novel.net face.
There was a flicker of struggle in Cynthia’s eyes as if virtual-novel.net was afraid that removing the mask would kill her.
“How can I help you if you don’t remove this mask?” Sean said with a smile.
Cynthia stopped struggling and let Sean take off virtual-novel.net mask. Her face was covered with wounds. Although they were not deep, it was unsightly.
These wounds would still leave disfiguring scars. The dense scarring and the hospitals’ standard work could not fully heal those scars.
Sean touched a wound on Cynthia’s face. Feeling the pain and warmth coming from virtual-novel.net face, Cynthia’s eyes glimmered slightly for some reason.
“It’s not a big problem. I’ll write you a prescription later, and you can take it and apply it as prescribed… When the wounds heal, come to me at Optimus Clinic or Optimus Security Services, and I’ll make sure you look just like you did before.”
Cynthia heard Sean’s voice.
Hearing Sean’s words, Cynthia’s eyes were finally no longer as gloomy as before. They now had a different glow.
Appearances were important to all women. Even though the Winters family had instilled in Cynthia’s mind since childhood that Millie mattered the most, virtual-novel.net still could not avoid caring about virtual-novel.net appearance.
“Thank… Thank you…” Cynthia thanked Scan with some difficulty. She spoke with a trace of difficulty as if virtual-novel.net had never said those words.
Sean patted virtual-novel.net head and said with a smile, “Don’t mention it.”
Then, Sean sat down at his desk, picked up a pencil, and began writing on a piece of paper.
Cynthia sat blankly in virtual-novel.net chair with twinkling eyes and did nothing.
After some time, Sean handed the paper to Cynthia and said with a smile, “If you don’t want people to see you like this, you may need the mask for a while longer.”
Cynthia took the paper and put the mask back on virtual-novel.net face.
“Cheer up. Everything will pass. It’s refreshing when you wear this mask. Anyone who wants to pester Ms. Winters will be frightened off at the sight of you,” Sean said with a smile.
Laughter gleamed in Cynthia’s eyes when virtual-novel.net heard Sean’s joke. However, virtual-novel.net had forgotten how to smile after keeping a straight face for years.
When Cynthia looked up, Sean had already left the study.
“Mr. Lennon, have you treated Cynthia?”
“It’s not something that will happen overnight, and I’ve spoken to Cynthia about that.”
Outside, Fabian’s concerned voice and Sean’s lazy voice made Cynthia beam beneath virtual-novel.net mask.
“I’I have to go. You can pay me 50 million after Cynthia recovers.”
Sean’s voice rang again. Then, the sound of a car engine starting rang.
Cynthia knew Sean had left.
Just then, Fabian entered the study.
“Dad…”
“Okay, cheer up. Didn’t Mr. Lennon say it’s going to be fine?”
Fabian smiled as virtual-novel.net patted Cynthia on the shoulder and said softly.
There was a soft glow in Fabian’s eyes as virtual-novel.net looked at his adopted daughter, who looked weak but had always acted as strong as a boy.
