"Yeah." Melinda sighed and shook her head in dismay. "This lady is prone to scarring, so her looks are destroyed. Oh, dear."

"You mean that her face can never recover again?" Sofia asked with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

"Yes." Melinda checked the information in her hands and pointed at Shirley's scar on the picture. "The injury on the face is severe. Coupled with her skin's inclination to scarring, I'm certain that she won't be able to recover." Then, she suddenly raised her head at Sofia. "Why are you so interested in her condition?"

"Huh? Uh, n-no. I'm just asking because I know her." Sofia put on a plastic smile and changed the topic. Nonetheless, a triumphant smirk spread across her face the instant she had her back facing Melinda.

"Okay." Melinda rose to her feet and said to Sofia. "I'm going to check out what Tijana needs. Take your time here, Sofia."

"Go ahead. I'll take a rest here in the meantime." Sofia leaned into the couch and made it seem as though she was browsing through her phone when in actuality, she had her eyes on Melinda's retreating figure. Nevertheless, she kept up the pretense until Melinda finally left the office and closed the door behind her.

When she heard that the sound of heels clicking on the floor was growing fainter, she slowly stood up and went to the desk. Then, she opened the folder and checked Shirley's information. Her phone made clicking sounds as she snapped a few pictures of Shirley's photos, capturing proof of her disfigurement.

On this day, Veronica's adoptive parents finally arrived at Pinewoods Villa in Bloomstead. After Thomas parked the car, he went to the back and opened the car door. "Mr. and Mrs. Murphy, we're here," he said politely to Tony and Daniella.

The couple climbed out and checked out the huge villa. "This is so luxurious," Tony couldn't help but gush.
