The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 90

After successfully convincing Faye, Vivienne took the diagnostic and medicine fees paid by Bertha and left.

Clara followed closely behind.

"Vivienne, it's lunchtime. How about treat you to a meal?" " Clara said.

Before Vivienne could respond, Clara continued, "I've been wanting to treat you for a meal. You've always been busy. If I don't do it now, I'll feel guilty."

"Clara, I'm sorry, I can't have lunch with you today. I've already informed my nanny to prepare my meal," Vivienne replied.

Clara looked disappointed, but Vivienne suddenly suggested, "If you don't mind, you can come to my place for lunch. We have many people at home, and the atmosphere is pleasant."

Including the Ellington family of four, occasionally Leopold, and members of the Hawthorn family, there were at least nine people at every meal.

"I can come?" Clara's eyes lit up.

She found her days boring, and she got along well with Vivienne. The location of the meal didn't matter as long as she had company.

"Of course," Vivienne said with a smile. "Clara, would you like to come with us, or should you have the driver drop you off?"

She noticed a private car not far away. It belonged to the Redwood family; she had seen it at the hospital before.

Clara then noticed Percival. "Who is he?" she asked.

"He's my fiancé, Percival."

"Oh, he's the one from the Ellington family who is..." Clara was about to say "useless," but she hurriedly swallowed the words.

Percival smiled politely and greeted her, "Hello, Clara."

"Hello," Clara replied. Her gaze fell on Percival's legs, and she immediately understood.

Vivienne was skilled, and perhaps curing a disabled person was possible, but Clara didn't ask further.

"I'll go with you guys," Clara said and got into Percival's car.

After Vivienne and the others left the Baker family, Faye walked out of the room. Although she wasn't used to the bright light yet, she felt much better.

Faye went to the living room and said to Bertha and Doreen, "Grandma, Mom, I'm sorry for worrying you. I'll cooperate actively with the treatment from now on. Even if I can't be cured, I won't immerse myself in pain anymore."

Bertha said excitedly, "Good! This is my good granddaughter! That Ms. Vivienne is truly capable. Your mother couldn't help you recover all this time, but she managed to get you out in just a few words."

Faye smiled, her face marred by scars making her smile seem a bit grotesque. "Talking to Ms. Vivienne made me feel confident. What she said is true; my ugliness isn't my face but my soul. Hiding is what weak people do. I am the granddaughter of the Baker family and the daughter of the Churchill family. I excel academically and have many qualities others can't match. That's my advantage. I can't waste my potential. I must pull myself together. Only when I perform exceptionally well will those mocking voices disappear. They can only look up to me."

"Yes! You're right!" Bertha agreed. "That's how it should be. Even if the facial injuries can't be cured, we need to show those people that my granddaughter isn't someone to be bullied."

Faye nodded, then turned to Doreen, "Mom, can you accompany me to the bookstore? I need to buy books; I want to start studying."
