As the diameter of Sophia’s scar was extremely large, they were unable to perform the traditional method of skin grafting as her face required a patch of healthy skin from her body. Even though her face was already healed, there would be another patch of scar. In short, the process involved the grafting of skin from other parts of her body, but they were unable to do so because there was no extra skin left.
It was obviously not what Cooper wanted. Sophia had bought many beautiful dresses, but she was unable to wear them because of her scars. As a father, he naturally wanted his daughter to be the prettiest. Since the traditional method of skin grafting was unable to meet his expectations, it was only viable to use other methods like laser surgery to reduce the appearance of the scars.
For that kind of treatment, only a private hospital in Cethos had that kind of expertise. Since Sophia was a local there, that hospital would be a better choice—since it was already specialized in surgeries for folks like her.
The few hospitals that Cooper asked around all recommended him to bring Sophia to the hospital in Cethos for her condition to be surveyed. “Cethos…” he murmured in a low voice. It was a place that seemed to wield magical powers, rendering him unable to sever all connections with the country. He had once hated Cethos with a vengeance, but now that the cruel truth was revealed, the topic was off-limits for him.
However, after he turned and saw his daughter, whose face could not be seen by others, all of his fear and guilt became insignificant. Half of Sophia’s face was covered in scars and she only had an eyebrow. She’s still young and will need to be married in the future. Of course she can’t look like this forever. However, if we return to Cethos, both of us will have to face our past…
His resolve hardened in the end. “Let’s return to Cethos!” Sophia’s happiness is more important than anything else. Right now, the most important thing is to fix her face.
With that, Cooper immediately made an appointment with the hospital at Cethos, which specialized in treating burn scars. On top of that, he also scheduled an appointment with another hospital in Bayside City that was famous for their otolaryngology department. Apart from Sophia’s face, even her vocal cords needed to be treated.
As soon as Sophia learned that they were returning to Cethos, she packed her luggage in excitement. However, Cooper did not feel good upon seeing her excitement.
Linus suddenly appeared again and reported to Cooper in a low voice, “Quinton is here again.”
Quinton, who was also known as Phantom Wolf, had been circling around Michel’s Castle once every few days, but Cooper had sent him off.
“Ask him whether he prefers minced meat or meatballs. I can grant his wishes.” In Cooper’s eyes, Quinton was as good as a plate of walking minced meat. If it hadn’t been for his good mood that he was finally reunited with his daughter, he would have already killed Quinton much earlier. If the Phantom Wolf was a deadly wolf waiting for an opportunity to attack in the African ranges, the Fletcher Family was an amateur that was not a match for him.
Using that analogy, Cooper resembled the ancient dragon who had been living on that piece of land for ages. No matter how sly the wolf could be, it was never his match! He wants to be my son-in-law? In his dreams! It’s not like he’s a virgin or someone complete, so how can I possibly give my daughter’s hand in marriage to him? I wish I could throw him into a barrel of pee and ask him to look at himself in the mirror! Sophia is being tormented like this because of the internal battle between Theo Fletcher’s two sons. I will never allow her to keep in touch with any of Theo’s descendants again!
“Dad, is Hope here again?” Sophia asked as soon as she saw Cooper entering the room. She seemed to know that something had happened.
Cooper’s face darkened. “No.”
“You’re still thinking of turning him into minced meat and meatballs.”
“No.”
