The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne)

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. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

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.

Isolde, previously disfigured and often scorned, became self-conscious and reluctant to go out, so

she'd never been to an amusement park either.

Now that she was able to freely play the games she liked, she was also very happy.

Vivienne, Percival, Leopold, and Thomas followed them. They also felt cheerful as they looked at the

joyful smiles on the two kids' faces.

Just then, Vivienne's phone suddenly rang.

Charlotte was on the other end. "Vivienne, where are you? Could you help me with a patient? It's

urgent."

At the last Hawthorn family’s banquet, Charlotte found out that Vivienne was the one who healed

Isolde.

"Sure, send me the address." Vivienne agreed after a brief pause.

Charlotte was the first friend she made in Havenwood. She would always do her best to help whenever

she could.

After hanging up, Vivienne received the address from Charlotte.

She turned to Percival. "I have something to take care of. Can you watch Thaddeus for me?"

"Do you need my help?" Percival asked.

"No need." Vivienne paused. "I might not be back soon. Take Thaddeus to get something to eat; I'll

cover it."

"I can afford to treat Thaddeus to a meal."

Vivienne gave him a slight smile. "Thaddeus? You're pretty familiar."

Percival said confidently, "We're getting engaged the day after tomorrow. I’m just getting used to it."

Vivienne suddenly leaned in close to his ear. "Don't get too excited. You can still call off an

engagement."

She had never thought of marrying Percival.

The engagement was just a necessity at the moment. She needed to find out why Percival had that

pendant, why he mentioned her mother, and, most importantly, why he was looking for the

whereabouts of the potion.

If Percival was on the opposite side, not only would they not be able to tie the knot, she might even off

him with her own hands.

Vivienne called over Thaddeus, gave him a few words, and then took off.

Charlotte left behind the address of a private hospital. Vivienne hopped in a cab and went straight

there.

Once she got to the hospital, Vivienne headed for the inpatient department.

Charlotte was waiting at the entrance, with someone standing next to her, but Vivienne couldn't make

out their features from this far away.

After seeing Vivienne, Charlotte urgently called out, "Vivienne, over here!"

Vivienne walked over, took a look at the person next to Charlotte, and was taken aback.

That person also got a clear look at Vivienne's face. She was just as surprised and then exclaimed, "It's

you!"

Turned out that this lady was Clara’s attendant. The same Clara whom Vivienne had saved before.

Vivienne didn't know her name, so she politely nodded and said, "That's me."

"Mom, do you two know each other?" Charlotte looked at them confusedly.

Vivienne asked, "Mom?"

"Yep, she's my mom."

Charlotte finished and then turned to Mrs. Redwood. "Mom, this is the Vivienne I was telling you about.

She's super nice and a brilliant doctor. I brought her here to treat Grandma, but I didn't know that you

two knew each other. You never mentioned it."

Mrs. Redwood was stunned for a moment and then broke into a smile. "So you're the one Charlotte

always talks about on the phone. What a small world! You've not only helped Charlotte with her studies

but also saved my mother-in-law's life. We owe you big time."
