Chapter 477
A month later, her back had gotten past the secondary infection period, and the pain was not as intense as before.
Despite that, Stella was very worried about the skin grafting. “I tried contacting an internationally famous plastic surgeon, but I didn’t manage to get through to her.”
Everything else aside, Jessica Simmons was highly skilled when it came to skin grafting. However, it was hard to hire her because of the price she charged, and it was difficult to even contact her in the first place.
Taya replied, “It’s okay. An ordinary plastic surgeon will be fine. Nobody will see the scars on my back, anyway. I’ll be wearing clothes.”
Harper, who was peeling oranges, said, “You shouldn’t have scars on your body, it’ll look so ugly…”
Taya didn’t care. “I have scars from when I got a wolf spirit transplant, too. It doesn’t matter if there are more.”
Harper felt a little distressed and glanced at her. “You are so beautiful. Having scars on your body would be such a waste.”
Taya grinned. “I’m not a celebrity, so why does it matter?”
Stella was just about to answer when there was a knock on
the door.
She walked over and opened the door. When she saw the
person in front of her, Stella was shocked, and then smiled
happily.
“Dr. Simmons!”
Jessica was dressed in a white suit with an elegant and friendly smile on her gorgeous face.
“Ms. Cobb. I heard that you have a patient whose back was
injured by sulfuric acid. Let me see if I can help,” she offered.
“That’s great! I’ve been trying to contact you recently, but
it didn’t get through so I didn’t expect you to come to our hospital,” Stella exclaimed.
Compared to Stella’s excitement, Jessica seemed rather deadpan, “Let me see the patient first.”
Stella nodded easily and led her into the ward.
She was just about to introduce Taya to Jessica when Jessica
walked up and stretched out her fair hand.
“Hello, Ms. Palmer. I’m Jessica.”
Taya and Harper were stunned for a moment. Stella was also
a little confused. How did Jessica know Taya?
Out of politeness, Taya stretched out her hand to grab Jessica’s. “Hello, Dr. Simmons.”
Jessica didn’t explain how she knew Taya. She simply raised her hand and lifted the bandages on her back, seeing the severity of the injury.
After giving her a full check-up, she turned to Stella and stated, “We can’t delay any longer. Arrange for a skin graft
surgery as soon as possible.”
Stella readily agreed and nodded. “No problem. I will arrange
an operating room. Do you need a few doctors to assist you?”
Jessica picked up the wet towel next to her and wiped her fingers before replying, “I brought a few doctors of my own
here. I don’t need any doctors from this hospital. You just need
to provide me with an operating room.”
Her distinguished words made Stella feel a little uncomfortable, but she didn’t protest. “Okay.”
After throwing the wet wipes into the trash can, Jessica turned
around and looked at Taya, scrutinizing her carefully with a
pair of dark yet glistening eyes.
“You’re beautiful, Taya. With your sickly yet delicate kind of beauty, it’s no wonder that Griffon personally called me to
help you.”
The mention of Griffon made Taya’s slender eyelashes
tremble slightly.
Before he left, he said that he would help her find the best
plastic surgeon.
She hadn’t taken it seriously at first. Unexpectedly, he actually
did it.
Stella glanced at Jessica, who was standing in front of the hospital bed with her arms crossed as she looked down at
Taya.
Those who worked with Griffon would never dare to call him
by his name directly.
Despite that, not only had Jessica done so, but she was also
full of hostility towards Taya.
She had a bad impression of Jessica right then, and the feeling of discomfort in her heart only grew stronger.
Even so, Jessica didn’t care. She even took a step forward
toward Taya, saying, “I went to the same university as Griffon.” Taya understand.
She lifted her gaze calmly and looked at Jessica in front of her.
Her demeanor was graceful and elegant. She looked gorgeous and charming, with refined manners. She spoke in
a confident and calm tone. Undoubtedly, she was a high-class
beauty.
No matter how beautiful Jessica was, though, it had nothing to
do with Taya. The relationship between her and Griffon was
long over…
Taya pursed her red lips without replying. However, Jessica
continued, “I’ve liked him ever since we were in university, but
I never even had the chance to get close to him. This time, I
have to thank you for giving me a chance to pursue him.”
Although she had no idea where Griffon was, it didn’t matter.
