Chapter 742
As the diameter of Sophia’s scar was extremelyrge, 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 likeser 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 rmended 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 ce 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.
Cooper never wanted to return to that country. In fact, it could be said that he feared that ce
because hecked the guts or the heart to see Woody again. The hatred Cooper bore toward Woody
had now turned into guilt. He admitted that he was extremely reckless in the past until it was difficult for
Woody to act in the interest as the family head. Hence, Woody had no choice but to ruin Cooper’s
happiness. Cooper was unaware of Woody’s actual intentions, but now that the former knew about it,
20 years had already passed.
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 otryngology 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 te 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 ofnd for
ages. No matter how sly the wolf could be, it was never his match! He wants to be my son-inw? In his
dreams! It’s not like he’s a virgin or someoneplete, 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.”
“Can I meet him?”
“No way.”
She pouted in unhappiness upon hearing that and begged Cooper as she grabbed his sleeves to vent
her frustrations. “Dad, let me meet him for once. After all, he has taken good care of me all this while. If I
leave like that, I’ll feel bad about it.”
Sure enough, he was someone who had a soft heart. After she gently asked for his permission, he
softened his tone. “Fine, I’ll let you meet him for once.”
During that period, Cooper had been bad mouthing Quinton as soon as he saw the opportunity to do so,
saying that thetter was a callous assassin who killed many people. Sophia had never developed any
romantic feelings for him since the beginning and did not have any whatsoever, but since he had taken
care of her for ages, she thought it would be better to meet up with him before she left.
As soon as Quinton knew that Cooper agreed to let Sophia meet him, he was ecstatic. After Quinton
arrived at the designated spit, the wall in front of him immediately became a huge screen as soon as he
sat down. Then, she appeared in front of him—the entire set-up was realistic to the point where he felt
that she was sitting opposite him with a panel of ss in between them.
“Sophia!” he happily greeted as soon as he saw her.
She was in great spirits—on top of that, she had undergone hair and eye transnt. With her beautiful
blonde hair and blue eyes, she lookedpletely different from before, but half of her face was ruined.
When she saw him, she smiled. “Hope, you’re here.”
She never had any romantic feelings for Quinton from the beginning. However, after regaining
consciousness in an unfamiliar ce and feeling as if she was a stranger without any familiar face
around her, he was the only person whom she knew. Naturally, he became her savior.
Quinton stretched his hand and pressed it on the wall to be closer to her, but unfortunately, it was merely
a projection of her. Hass and Linus will never allow me to be near her since I’m the cause of her looking
like this.
“Sophia, how are you doing?” Since they had been separated for almost half a year, he continuously
thought about her and even dreamed of her. Yet, after waiting for six months, he was only able to see a
projection of her.
Sophia, who was opposite him, nodded. “I have found my biological father and he treats me well.”
Quinton looked at Fass, who was standing behind her. He had already known about her father’s identity
—as the head of the Michel Family who never revealed himself, Fass Michel. I can’t believe that he’s
actually Sophia’s father!
At that moment, Cooper continued to stand behind her and red at Quinton. If Quinton said the wrong
thing, it would be moments before he became minced meat.
After some hesitation, she informed him, “Hope, please don’t look for me anymore. My dad will take care
of me from now onward. You don’t have to worry about me. I know that you treat me well, but… I’m sorry,
I only treat you as a family member and nothing more.”
A tragic feeling rose within Quinton, but he had already expected it. He had been selfish to keep her by
his side as he wanted to start afresh with her. In fact, he would even use cruel methods to brainwash her
by nting the orders ‘to love Quinton rk’ in her head so that she was unable to resist him. With that,
she would be loyal to him forever. However, he chose not to do that because he wanted a fresh start—he
wanted her to love him for who he is and not as a result of his brainwashing techniques.
