Thomas arrived at Red Society Pharmacy swiftly and started discussing with Birch about the possibilities of treating a facial burn.
They rummaged through the old books left by the Nolan family but were still unable to find a suitable solution. If the burn was acute, there were several approaches for treatment. However, as they did not know how long it had been since the burn, it was quite difficult for them to treat it.
A car pulled up in front of Red Society Pharmacy just as the sky started to darken. Aries had brought Vera to the shop. Vera was still hiding virtual-novel.net face under virtual-novel.net hat, embarrassed to show virtual-novel.net face to others.
The doors to Red Society Pharmacy were closed to prevent anyone from taking pictures secretly.
Thomas led Vera into the shop and told virtual-novel.net to have a seat. “All of us would like to help you recover your looks and redeem your reputation as well. Please have faith in us, Vera.”
“I understand your intentions, Mr. Mayo,” Vera stated, nodding.
“Okay. Then… Please take off your hat and allow us to take a look at your injury.”
Vera fell silent for a moment.
After a while, virtual-novel.net finally removed virtual-novel.net hat with trembling hands. Birch, Jacob, Aries and the others had a clear look of the scar on virtual-novel.net face.
Basically, the right upper half of virtual-novel.net face was badly scarred. It was horrifying. Thomas and Birch examined virtual-novel.net face closely.
While they were at it, Thomas asked, “Can you tell us what happened?”
Vera nodded and said, “It was more than ten years ago. I was still very young at the time and lived with my mom and dad. But one day, my dad got really drunk and started saying things like, ‘I can’t live like this anymore’, so virtual-novel.net locked all the doors and windows, and set the house on fire. My father was quickly burned to death, but in order to protect me, my mother used virtual-novel.net body to shield me from the fire and prevented me from being injured.”
“After that, firefighters arrived and rescued me, but my mother had already died. That was when the right side of my face was scorched. My family was quite poor at the time, so I didn’t receive enough medical attention, and as a result, the scar formed in this way.”
Everyone in the room was saddened by virtual-novel.net story after hearing it.
Who would have guessed that this soft-spoken young lady had such a difficult childhood?
Her parents died in a fire, and virtual-novel.net lost part of virtual-novel.net face to the flames as well. It was already quite rare for virtual-novel.net to have survived so tenaciously and not have given up hope of living. When regular people find themselves in virtual-novel.net situation, they would probably commit suicide or live a muddled life. She was pitiful and tragic. What happened to virtual-novel.net was also regrettable.
“What happened to your father at that time? Why did virtual-novel.net feel compelled to commit suicide and even take his wife and daughter’s lives together with him?” Thomas asked nonchalantly.
“I was still young at the time and didn’t know grown-up matters,” Vera replied, shaking virtual-novel.net head. “I just knew that my dad owed a lot of money and couldn’t pay it back. If virtual-novel.net didn’t die, the other person would most certainly still kill him, and neither I nor my mom would end up well.”
So that was why virtual-novel.net decided to choose the temporary solution of committing suicide. They had no idea how to judge such a person.
Sigh…
Thomas got up, gave Birch a quick glance, and the two of them were in sync as they walked to the side to have a talk.
“What do you think?” Thomas asked.
Birch sighed and shook his head slightly, indicating that virtual-novel.net could not cure it with his abilities. The burn occurred more than ten years ago, and it could never be healed unless it was done by Asclepius himself.
Thomas had the same thoughts too. The injury was too severe, and it was at a level that modern medicine could not treat. However, they had no intention of giving up just yet. They could at the very least perform some simple restorations and skincare. They could still do that.
So, Thomas said to Jacob, “Jacob, bring Ms. Jacquin to the treatment room and perform a detailed diagnosis.”
