The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 74

Doreen felt a twinge of annoyance when she heard what Arabella had to say.

But considering that Arabella could heal Isolde's severe facial scars, she had to swallow her bitterness.

"Sorry, Miss Arabella, ever since Faye got her face damaged, she's become really self-conscious. She doesn’t want anyone to see her. Hang on a minute; let me try and persuade her."

Arabella gave a nod as her face grew more impatient.

Doreen moved to Faye's side and whispered, "Faye, Miss Arabella is a brilliant doctor. You know, the Ellington family's daughter had even worse injuries than you, and she healed her. Let her have a look at you. Once she's taken care of your condition, you'll be able to step out with confidence."

Faye still kept her head down, still not uttering a word.

"You've already taken a half-year break from school. Didn't you say you wanted to go to university? If you keep taking a break, you won't be able to take the college entrance test this year."

Mentioning the college entrance test finally got a reaction from Faye. She lifted her head, and her fierce-looking facial scars could now be seen, but her eyes were full of tears.

"But... I'm so far behind already. Even if I take the college entrance test, I won't make the cut."

"You've always been in the top ten of your grade every year. I'll find you some good private tutors. You'll definitely get in." Doreen patiently persuaded her.

Faye hesitated.

Arabella, having waited impatiently on the side, said, "Ms. Doreen, Ms. Faye, how about I come back another day? I'm really booked up. Time is money."

Doreen frowned. Considering that she needed her help, she had to subtly say, "Please wait a little longer."

Before she could finish speaking, Faye stood up, walked over to Arabella, and said in a low voice, "Sorry, Miss Arabella, for keeping you waiting. Could you please check me now?"

Arabella finally got a look at Faye's face. Her face was covered in scars and looked hideously ugly.

After seeing Faye's face, she couldn't help but show a disgusted expression, which Faye caught.

Having just plucked up the courage, Faye now felt like shrinking back.

"Sit down; let me diagnose you." Arabella said confidently.

Faye obediently did as she was told.

After the diagnosis, Arabella said, "This condition can be treated. I'll write you a prescription. Take the medication exactly as I prescribe for three days, after which I'll come back for a check-up."

Doreen was ecstatic to hear this. "Really? Faye's face can be restored to its original state?"

"Yes." Arabella replied, "But she must take the medicine as per my prescription. She must first detoxify her body and then apply my ointment."

"Thank you so much. As long as you can cure Faye's condition, I'll give you a generous reward." Doreen was beside herself with excitement.

Arabella made some polite remarks, wrote the prescription, and then left.

Doreen immediately had someone prepare the medicine.

But Faye felt a bit uneasy.

She tugged at Doreen's hand and whispered, "Mom, can I not take the medicine? I don't really trust her."

"Faye, you can trust Miss Arabella's medical skills. At the Hawthorn family's banquet the other day, I heard everyone talking about how she healed Isolde. It's definitely true."

After hearing this, Faye could only nod in agreement.

At the amusement park.

Thaddeus and Isolde were having a great time.

Thaddeus was often bullied when he was with the Hawthorn family, so he developed a timid and cowardly personality. Cordelia had no say in the Hawthorn family, and Dorian was also bullied, so he hardly ever came to the amusement park.

Thaddeus was excited to have the chance to go out and have fun today. He practically tried every attraction he could.
