Chapter 191 ept Treatment Positively
Paulo’s words dealt a hard blow to Erin.
Instead of living beautifully in her prime years, she had to hide from her family and friends in order to
undergo treatments for her severe burns. She would have to endure a long and arduous healing
process that would be physically and mentally taxing.
Although the two culprits. Tessa and Jack had ultimately met the bad end that they rightly deserved,
Erin couldn’t let go of the profound and deep hatred she fell toward them yet.
“Erin, I can honestly tell you that even if you go to another hospital, they’ll tell you that you’ll need an
even longer time to recover,” Paulo informed in a calm tone that carried a sense of unchallengeable
authority.
Looking at him, Erin said, “Paulo, thank you for being willing to help me. I believe in the medical
technology here. Besides, your secretary briefly told me about the Garden of Eden and what kind of
ce this is. An ordinary person like me is fortunate enough to be able to stay
here for treatment.”
The Garden of Eden had treated distinguished individuals who were either rich or were famous
celebrities from all over the world. They woulde to the Garden of Eden for scar removal due to a
myriad of injuries they’d suffered in their lives. Meanwhile, some came for cosmetic surgery, either due
to idents or to achieve their desired appearance.
As such, the Garden of Eden was renowned worldwide for its excellent medical skills and high costs.
The enormous profits it generated made Paulo a billionaire at a young age, allowing him to invest more
resources into various medical research projects without the need to seek investments elsewhere.
“I saved you, Erin. I only have one request for you–be proactive in undergoing the treatments, and do
your best to recover quickly. That’ll be the best way you can repay me.” As his words fell, Paulo had
already stood up and was preparing to leave.
Taking in his confident figure as he departed, Erin couldn’t help but ask, “Paulo, why are you so willing
to help me? ording to what Jenny told me, you never lend a hand to others easily-”
Paulo turned around, gave her a casual nce, and smiled helplessly. “You coincidentally appeared in
my territory, and on top of that, you were alive when I discovered you! I guess fate guided me to you.
After your appearance is restored in the future, you can be a spokesperson for the Garden of
Eden if you’re willing to. I believe you’re going to be the biggest challenge I’ve encountered in recent
years.
Only those in the same industry would be able to understand that faint sense of excitement in his eyes.
If he could surpass the limit of his previous professional skills, it would undoubtedly be something to be
proud of.
Erin smiled softly at him. “If you can truly restore my face, I’m more than happy to be a
spokesperson for the Garden of Eden. If I
hadn’t met you, I’d probably be dead by now=”
Indeed, she would have died in solitude on a deserted ind filled with dark memories.
“Alright, Erin, I must remind you that the extended period of treatment itself is the most mentally
challenging aspect. For sure, you’ll experience pain so badly that you’ll feel like giving up from time to
time. But don’t be disheartened. I’ll apany you through it, and we have doctors who can help you
ovee psychological trauma. I hope you don’t resist and ept each day’s challenges with.
equanimity. Over the years, I’ve seen too many patients whose emotions fluctuated greatly during their
treatment. Except for one patient I couldn’t save, I’ve made every effort to help them return to their
normal lives. I hope you can be one of them, and I have high expectations for you. Don’t disappoint me,
okay?”
For the first time, Paulo disyed amanding expression that was tinged with a hint of a plea. This
caused Erin to respond instinctively, “I won’t disappoint you! You’re providing free treatment for
someone like me, who’s basically a nobody. If I don’t strive to live positively, I feel like I would be
squandering all the good fortune God may have in store for me for the rest of my life.”
Paulo smiled. It was a faint smile that came from his heart, exuding purity and gentleness.
Erin’s eyes took in Paulo’s peerless beauty wordlessly for the first time as a great sense of hope
started to surge within her heart. Her mindset improved significantly, and the people and things she
saw started to emit a ray of goodness in her eyes.
Thinking that her son was by his own father’s side, and that her parents had another biological
daughter to apany and care for them, the heavy burden Erin had been feeling was lifted. What
she needed to do now was to get better, stop evading reality, and break free from the vicious cycle of
depression, anxiety, and mental breakdowns.
a blessing sent to her from the heavens in her turbulent life. The helping hand she needed was already
extended to her. Therefore, she should ept it graciously and not waste this window that fale had
opened for her.
Just as Paulo was about to walk out of the ward. Erin blurted, “Paulo, has anyone ever told you that
you look even more beautiful than
women?“”
Paulo had just stepped out of the ward when he suddenly turned around to see the automatic door
closing at a steady pace. Erin thought he would leave, but to her surprise, Paulo stepped into the ward
once again. His footsteps were rapid and a little imposing, and he had a chilling look on his feminine
but handsome face.
His strong reaction made Erin retreat subconsciously while thinking in puzzlement, “It was a genuine
compliment from the bottom of my heart. He can’t be angry because I praised him, can he?”
As she was pondering that, Paulo had already arrived in front of her. He looked down and leaned
closer to her. His face was just inches away from her face which was covered in gauze.
They stared at each other. A wave of emotion shed across Paulo’s attractive eyes. Before Erin could
say anything, he’d already turned around and left once again.

Paulo’s actions left Erin feeling puzzled. She was at a loss as her exquisitely beautiful eyes trailed after
Paulo’s retreating figure with bafflement.
She thought Paulo wouldn’t say anything else, but suddenly he turned around with a cool, satisfied,
and somewhat smug smirk. “I deliberately took a close look at your eyes just now and found that you
weren’t lying. However, my dear Erin, I must warn you not to describe my appearance like that again.
I’ll make you regret it so much that you’ll cry. Don’t forget that you still need me to fix your face.
Depending on my mood, I may decide to make you look like me. Will you feel aghast or thrilled to have
that happen?”
His words didn’t sound like a threat, but there was certainly a faint hint of a warning. Despite the
teasing and joking tone, Erin could clearly pick up on the displeasure in his voice.
“I’m sorry. Ick the vocabry to conjure suitable adjectives to describe your beauty- Erin fidgeted
nervously, and her eyes were slightly lowered, not daring to meet his gaze.
“Beauty?” Paulo’s gaze turned even colder.
This made Erin lose her patience a bit. “Damn it! Why do I feel like I’m blundering through a minefield
while talking to you? I might be blown to pieces if I’m not careful. I’ve noticed that you have quite a few
issues. You don’t like others touching you! I can’t say that you’re beautiful! Like,e on! Why don’t
you just tell me what other taboos there are, so that I, an ignorant and clueless person, won’t offend
you again-”
Paulo smiled mysteriously. “Everything about me is taboo.”
Erin was rendered utterly speechless.
Then, he said in all seriousness, “Erin, honestly, you’re the strongest patient I’ve ever seen. I hope
you’ll be my proudest creation!”
