Jacob’s face creased with concern as he continued scrolling through his phone. “This technology for implanting chips in the brain has been around for quite some time,” he pondered. “however, due to the complexity of human brains and their difficulty to control, they had to start implanting them when she was very young.”
“They did it to me when I was seven,” he revealed.
Mandy turned to Damien with a sincere gaze. I know you’ve always been curious about the origins of my face.”
“I’ve told you before, it’s because of ‘S,” Mandy continued pleading, “I hope you can help me. You’re my only hope.”
Damien’s teacup-clutching hand tensed.
He closed his eyes. “No. I don’t want to see her!
If… If she had become the person Mandy described, there was no reason to see her again.
Damien couldn’t believe the woman he had once respected had changed drastically. His heart felt like a vice grip, squeezing tighter with each passing moment.
With a deep breath, he set down his teacup and met Mandy’s gaze. “Once we return to Adania, I’ll have Jacob and his medical team figure out how to remove the chip from your brain. As for the Wool family, you don’t have to go back, as it’s not safe to stay in Adania. either.”
“Alright,” Mandy replied, her lips pursed. After a brief pause, she spoke up again. “I have one more condition.”
Damien furrowed his brow. “What is it?”
Mandy gestured to her nearly flawless face. “I want to be myself again.”
“That might be quite challenging.”
Jacob stepped closer, gently lifting her chin for a closer look. “You’ve already undergone numerous surgeries. Another procedure, and you might end up looking like a stiff plastic doll.”
Mandy lowered her head without speaking.

Cherise quickly raised an eyebrow. “Your room is on the first floor, and Lulu’s is on the second floor.”
Rodney seemed slightly irritated, furrowing his brow and giving Cherise a swift once- over. “I took a look at the villa’s rooms. There’s one for Mandy, one for you and. your husband, one for your husband’s two buddies, which leaves just one more. Lulu and I can
make do with it.”
“Your husband and friends and Mandy seem a bit high-maintenance, so I guess it’s better not to squish into a room with the rest of us.”
