Chapter 191 Accept Treatment Positively

Paulo’s words dealt a hard blow to Erin.

Instead of living beautifully in her prime years, she had to hide from her family and friends in order to

undergo treatments for her severe burns. She would have to endure a long and arduous healing

process that would be physically and mentally taxing.

Although the two culprits. Tessa and Jack had ultimately met the bad end that they rightly deserved,

Erin couldn’t let go of the profound and deep hatred she fell toward them yet.

“Erin, I can honestly tell you that even if you go to another hospital, they’ll tell you that you’ll need an

even longer time to recover,” Paulo informed in a calm tone that carried a sense of unchallengeable

authority.

Looking at him, Erin said, “Paulo, thank you for being willing to help me. I believe in the medical

technology here. Besides, your secretary briefly told me about the Garden of Eden and what kind of

place this is. An ordinary person like me is fortunate enough to be able to stay

here for treatment.”

The Garden of Eden had treated distinguished individuals who were either rich or were famous

celebrities from all over the world. They would come to the Garden of Eden for scar removal due to a

myriad of injuries they’d suffered in their lives. Meanwhile, some came for cosmetic surgery, either due

to accidents or to achieve their desired appearance.

As such, the Garden of Eden was renowned worldwide for its excellent medical skills and high costs.

The enormous profits it generated made Paulo a billionaire at a young age, allowing him to invest more

resources into various medical research projects without the need to seek investments elsewhere.

“I saved you, Erin. I only have one request for you–be proactive in undergoing the treatments, and do

your best to recover quickly. That’ll be the best way you can repay me.” As his words fell, Paulo had

already stood up and was preparing to leave.

Taking in his confident figure as he departed, Erin couldn’t help but ask, “Paulo, why are you so willing

to help me? According to what Jenny told me, you never lend a hand to others easily-”

Paulo turned around, gave her a casual glance, and smiled helplessly. “You coincidentally appeared in

my territory, and on top of that, you were alive when I discovered you! I guess fate guided me to you.

After your appearance is restored in the future, you can become a spokesperson for the Garden of

Eden if you’re willing to. I believe you’re going to be the biggest challenge I’ve encountered in recent

years.

Only those in the same industry would be able to understand that faint sense of excitement in his eyes.

If he could surpass the limit of his previous professional skills, it would undoubtedly be something to be

proud of.

Erin smiled softly at him. “If you can truly restore my face, I’m more than happy to become a

spokesperson for the Garden of Eden. If I

hadn’t met you, I’d probably be dead by now=”

Indeed, she would have died in solitude on a deserted island filled with dark memories.

“Alright, Erin, I must remind you that the extended period of treatment itself is the most mentally

challenging aspect. For sure, you’ll experience pain so badly that you’ll feel like giving up from time to

time. But don’t be disheartened. I’ll accompany you through it, and we have doctors who can help you

overcome psychological trauma. I hope you don’t resist and accept each day’s challenges with.

equanimity. Over the years, I’ve seen too many patients whose emotions fluctuated greatly during their

treatment. Except for one patient I couldn’t save, I’ve made every effort to help them return to their

normal lives. I hope you can be one of them, and I have high expectations for you. Don’t disappoint me,

okay?”

For the first time, Paulo displayed a commanding expression that was tinged with a hint of a plea. This

caused Erin to respond instinctively, “I won’t disappoint you! You’re providing free treatment for

someone like me, who’s basically a nobody. If I don’t strive to live positively, I feel like I would be

squandering all the good fortune God may have in store for me for the rest of my life.”

Paulo smiled. It was a faint smile that came from his heart, exuding purity and gentleness.

Erin’s eyes took in Paulo’s peerless beauty wordlessly for the first time as a great sense of hope

started to surge within her heart. Her mindset improved significantly, and the people and things she

saw started to emit a ray of goodness in her eyes.

Thinking that her son was by his own father’s side, and that her parents had another biological

daughter to accompany and care for them, the heavy burden Erin had been feeling was lifted. What

she needed to do now was to get better, stop evading reality, and break free from the vicious cycle of

depression, anxiety, and mental breakdowns.

a blessing sent to her from the heavens in her turbulent life. The helping hand she needed was already

extended to her. Therefore, she should accept it graciously and not waste this window that fale had

opened for her.

Just as Paulo was about to walk out of the ward. Erin blurted, “Paulo, has anyone ever told you that

you look even more beautiful than

women?“”

Paulo had just stepped out of the ward when he suddenly turned around to see the automatic door

closing at a steady pace. Erin thought he would leave, but to her surprise, Paulo stepped into the ward

once again. His footsteps were rapid and a little imposing, and he had a chilling look on his feminine

but handsome face.

His strong reaction made Erin retreat subconsciously while thinking in puzzlement, “It was a genuine

compliment from the bottom of my heart. He can’t be angry because I praised him, can he?”

As she was pondering that, Paulo had already arrived in front of her. He looked down and leaned

closer to her. His face was just inches away from her face which was covered in gauze.

They stared at each other. A wave of emotion flashed across Paulo’s attractive eyes. Before Erin could

say anything, he’d already turned around and left once again.

Paulo’s actions left Erin feeling puzzled. She was at a loss as her exquisitely beautiful eyes trailed after

Paulo’s retreating figure with bafflement.

She thought Paulo wouldn’t say anything else, but suddenly he turned around with a cool, satisfied,

and somewhat smug smirk. “I deliberately took a close look at your eyes just now and found that you

weren’t lying. However, my dear Erin, I must warn you not to describe my appearance like that again.

I’ll make you regret it so much that you’ll cry. Don’t forget that you still need me to fix your face.

Depending on my mood, I may decide to make you look like me. Will you feel aghast or thrilled to have

that happen?”

His words didn’t sound like a threat, but there was certainly a faint hint of a warning. Despite the

teasing and joking tone, Erin could clearly pick up on the displeasure in his voice.

“I’m sorry. I lack the vocabulary to conjure suitable adjectives to describe your beauty- Erin fidgeted

nervously, and her eyes were slightly lowered, not daring to meet his gaze.

“Beauty?” Paulo’s gaze turned even colder.

This made Erin lose her patience a bit. “Damn it! Why do I feel like I’m blundering through a minefield

while talking to you? I might be blown to pieces if I’m not careful. I’ve noticed that you have quite a few

issues. You don’t like others touching you! I can’t say that you’re beautiful! Like, come on! Why don’t

you just tell me what other taboos there are, so that I, an ignorant and clueless person, won’t offend

you again-”

Paulo smiled mysteriously. “Everything about me is taboo.”

Erin was rendered utterly speechless.

Then, he said in all seriousness, “Erin, honestly, you’re the strongest patient I’ve ever seen. I hope

you’ll become my proudest creation!”
