Chapter 1511
Even though Adam told her not to worry, Madeline was still feeling anxious.
She washed her face in the toilet but did not dare to lift her head to look at herself in the mirror.
However, when she was washing her face, she could feel that her skin had gotten smoother. Although her face had progressively gotten better during the 30-day treatment, her skin was never this smooth before.
Madeline became excited, but she still washed her face gently. In the end, she used a towel to pat the water droplets on her face dry.
After a long while, she finally found the courage to lift her head.
The mirror in front of her was wide and the light on top of her head was bright. Madeline could clearly see the state of her face now.
She looked at herself in the mirror and lifted her hand to touch her face with some bewilderment.
At this moment, Adam appeared behind Madeline.
“I added a special ingredient to the gel just now. It helps to boost the rebuilding of your collagen and the tissues of your skin barrier, so that’s why your face feels flatter and more delicate now.”
After she heard what Adam said, Madeline’s eyes lit up.
Adam saw the joy on Madeline’s face, but he still had to tell her the truth.
“However, this is only temporary.”
“Temporary?” The smile on Madeline’s face faded. She turned around asked nervously, “Are you saying that I might revert to how I looked?”
“No, it just means that it’ll take a long time before you can go back to the way you look. Your scabs only fell recently and the red marks on your face can’t fade completely yet. However, if you put on some makeup, the red marks might not be visible.”
Madeline started to feel sorry for this woman. “Thank you, Amy, but I have some things I need to take care of so I’ll get going now.”
After she said that, Adam’s phone rang. “Amy, I need to take this call. Help me walk Miss Montgomery out.”
“Okay,” Amy answered and walked to the outside of the house with Madeline.
The sky was not dark yet but the dusk in early winter was very cold.
Madeline walked out of the door and saw Cathy following behind her. “Amy, you should go in. I can just call a cab at the side of the road.”
Cathy smiled and nodded. However, there was a hint of melancholy on her face.
Madeline had a lot of things to say to Cathy, but she remembered what Adam said. He hoped Cathy could have a quiet life and not be disturbed by Felipe. As such, Madeline did not say anything.
