Chapter: 1032
"Come inside with me."
Norah turned and led the way to the consulting room, leaving Rosalee's assistant waiting outside.
The rumors of Rosalee's disfigurement had stirred up much talk in the entertainment industry, but Rosalee had not made any public comments, which meant the stories remained unconfirmed.
Online, opinions were divided, with various speculations swirling around.
Once inside, Rosalee removed her mask, unveiling her weary face.
She lightly touched the gauze on her face. "It's been almost ten days. Can the stitches come out?"
Norah examined the wound, which was healing well thanks to her skilled stitching.
"Yes."
She efficiently removed the stitches and advised Rosalee on the care procedures during her recovery.
As she finished, Norah noticed Rosalee was biting her lip, her eyes moist as she struggled to hold back tears.
She swiftly grabbed a tissue to dab at Rosalee's tears. “Hey, you shouldn't get your facial wound wet. Please don't cry."
Rosalee carefully positioned the tissue under her eyes to catch the falling tears, her voice breaking as she said, "Dr. Wilson, at the charity event, I deliberately spilled wine on you out of jealousy. I thought you were too beautiful..."
She took a deep breath and continued, "I was worried you'd draw all the attention, so I wanted to make you leave the event. I'm so sorry. I truly am."
After Norah had stitched her wound, Rosalee had carried the weight of guilt, feeling increasingly remorseful towards Norah.
Norah had treated her wound with such care. Shouldn't she apologize?
Now, seeing Norah again, who treated her with such gentleness again, the guilt overwhelmed her.
“I know I was jealous and what I did was wrong. Dr. Wilson, please, can you forgive me?"
Rosalee's appearance was a stark contrast to her glamorous image at the charity event. Now, her facial wound marred her looks severely.
Norah exhaled softly and gently rubbed her head.
“Everyone feels jealous sometimes. The fact that you recognize it shows you're not a bad person. Just make sure not to do something like this again. I forgive you."
Being alone in the cutthroat entertainment industry, Rosalee suddenly felt a comforting warmth, and couldn't control her tears anymore.
Previously, when Rosalee was popular in the industry, she found herself surrounded by many people. However, when she faced tough times, nobody wanted to be associated with her.
“Thank you so much."
“There's a product you should keep an eye on in the international black market. It will help your recovery. I'm sure your face will heal well."
