The next morning, Jenny came the moment we came downstairs. Seeing her, my initial happy emotions intensified, and I went forward excitedly. "Dr. Jenny, did the medicine succeed?" I looked at her expectantly.
Jenny gave me a sweet smile and then replied, "Yes, it finally worked."
"That's great." I turned around and took Theo's hand, unable to control my joy.
Nicky also came down at this moment, and she had a smile on her face. "Wanda, you look very happy. What happened?"
I walked up to her and told her the good news. "Dr. Jenny said that the trial for the special medicine is successful. The scar on your face will soon be gone."
After I said that, Jenny also stepped forward and showed us the small bottle of the medicine. "You just need to apply it for three days and the scar will fade away."
"That's too great! Thank you, doctor. Thank you, President Grant. And thank you, Wanda." Nicky's pretty face was filled with excitement.
After that, Jenny passed the medicine to Nicky. She explained, "You'll feel a little itch when the medicine takes effect.
Remember to bear it and don't scratch it, got it?"
Nicky nodded. "Okay, thank you, Dr. Jenny."
"I'll keep an eye on you and not let you scratch it." I sat next to her and smiled.
Thanks to the special medicine, my tense heart finally relaxed. I became more efficient at work.
At noon, I received a call from someone I had not heard from for a long time.
However, since I was busy with work, I did not take a look at the call record and immediately answered, "Hello."
"Wanda, it's me."
"Shannon?" I was surprised and happy.
Why would she think of calling me? "Why did you call?"
Her voice was much more mature and stable than before. "I've come to Whaldorf City. Do you want to go out and have a meal?"
"Of course. Tonight?"
