This topic made me feel a sharp pain in my heart. And I nodded my head slightly.
Shelton glanced at me out of the corner of his eyes and seemed to realize that he had said something wrong. Then he said, "I'm sorry."
"No, it's not worth it to grieve over such a person." I shook my head, "My life is parallel to his. I felt that we were so close before. But it was just an illusion out of my wishful thinking."
"Now that I think about it, Patrick and I are destined to have no future."
"Based on the current circumstance, I don't want to speak up for him anymore. In any case, I don't think a man should hurt the woman he loves."
Shelton looked ahead.
His eyes were a little dim.
"Mr. Shelton, you are wrong. He has never loved me."
Patrick probably only loved himself from the beginning to the end.
Shelton didn't say anything else.
Soon, the car arrived at a plastic surgery hospital. He took me upstairs. After a while, a nurse led the way and took us to an office.
Inside the office sat a female doctor in her forties.
After she checked my face, she said, "You can do facial skin restoration. But the recovery period is relatively long. And it's impossible for you to completely recover."
The female doctor's words were almost the same as those of the doctor Patrick had found for me.
After that, the female doctor conducted a series of comprehensive examinations on me.
She roughly told me the risk, the preparation I needed to make, and how many times the whole operation would be carried out as well as the recovery time.
"Yes, I accept all of them." I agreed after hearing her out.
The doctor nodded and said, "Okay, I'll stay here for a few days. Then I'll come up with a treatment plan. You come back here the day after tomorrow. And we can get the first step started."
Originally, I wanted to agree after I heard her words. Suddenly, I thought of one thing and asked the doctor, "I have to attend a quite important occasion next month."
"Of course, you can't show up there, unless you don't put on any make-up."
The female doctor got my point as soon as she heard my words.
"Without any make up?"
"No, I can't."
"I have to put on makeup. Moreover, I want to put on makeup to make myself look beautiful. At any cost, I have to cover the wounds on my nose and wear a good-looking mask."
"After that, I will hand over the red packet with gift money and the secret to Patrick in person."
After thinking about it for a moment, I said, "Can I come to you and get the treatment started next month?"
"It's up to you."
The female doctor didn't seem to care about it.
By the time Shelton and I came out of the hospital, he had guessed my intention. And he asked, "You're going to attend Patrick's wedding, aren't you?"
"That's right."
I nodded.
Shelton nodded slightly and thought about it for a moment, "How about you go there with me? If there is something wrong, I can take care of you."
I looked at Shelton.
I thought of how Patrick had treated him and asked, "Did Patrick invite you there?"
It was somewhat impolite for me to ask Shelton like this
"Yes." Shelton seemed to know what I was worried about. He smiled and said, "After all, I am his uncle. He still has to send me an invitation card ceremonially. I originally didn't intend to go there. But since you want to go there, I will accompany you."
"But..."
"It's okay. Don't worry. He won't fight with me on his blessed date."
Shelton seemed to have completely guessed what I was thinking about.
On the way back, Shelton asked me, "Are you going home? Or where will you head for?"
I knew that the home he mentioned was referring to my house in Unit No. 1, City Y.
Although I had cleaned it up, all my things were at Lisa's house.
I told him the address of Lisa's house.
