Her Cancellation of the Engagement

Chapter 23 A Reborn Girl

Chapter 23 A Reborn Girl

In the VIP ward.

Gianna took out the prepared ointment and asked Erica, "From yesterday until now, are you sure she hasn't eaten or drank anything?"

"No," Erica replied, "Taryn is a well-behaved girl. Even if she's starving, she won't take a single bite."

Gianna nodded, then looked towards Taryn, speaking in a softer tone, "We're going to apply the ointment now. Hold on as much as you can. If it's too painful, bite me."

Taryn was extremely nervous, but still gritted her teeth, "Don't worry, I will endure it."

Gianna didn't say anything else, and had Taryn take off her clothes before starting to apply the ointment.

She applied the ointment from her face all the way down to her body.

At first, it felt cool, and Taryn even thought it was comfortable.

She gave Gianna a sweet smile, "Ms. Geller, were you trying to scare me? This ointment feels nice... Ah!"

She screamed suddenly, cutting herself off when she realized what she had done.

She was covered in ointment, so her expression wasn't visible, but her body trembled constantly, and she was sweating heavily, causing the ointment to soak in.

Taryn couldn't express how much pain she was in, nor could she scream. She could only bite on the pillow.

Erica watched, heartbroken, "Taryn, are you okay?"

"I... I... I'm fine... Just... hurts a bit!"

As she spoke, Taryn felt like all her strength had left her.

She was in so much pain, feeling like countless insects were biting her. She wanted to hold on, but she was close to her limit.

Erica noticed something was off and asked Gianna anxiously, "Ms. Geller, is Taryn okay? She looks like she's in so much pain and can hardly breathe."

She was very worried. If something happened to Taryn, how could she explain it to Lloyd?

Should she call Lloyd?

Gianna looked at Taryn, and asked softly, "Can you still hold on?"

"Ms. Geller, I... Ah!" Taryn couldn't bear the pain anymore, and writhed on the ground, screaming in agony.

Luckily, the VIP ward is located outside of the ward area, with limited personnel and effective soundproofing.

Gianna checked the ointment and said to Taryn, "Can you hold on for another minute?"

Erica was about to send a message to Lloyd when she heard Gianna's words and put her phone away.

Although Taryn was in extreme pain, she tried her best not to make a sound, as Gianna had said that she didn't want others to know that she was treating her.

One minute later, Taryn's body finally stopped hurting, and she took a long breath of relief. She felt very comfortable all over her body, as if she was in warm water.

She smiled, "Ms. Geller, did I do a good job?"

She still had the ointment on her face, so when she smiled, only two rows of white teeth could be seen.

Gianna patted her head and chuckled, "You did great! Even adults in their thirties or forties can hardly endure this ointment."

She had used similar treatments for other patients, and it was not easy even for adults.

Therefore, she often changed treatment plans.

Although various methods can detoxify, using medicinal ointment yields the best results.

Gianna stood up and said to Taryn, "Let's go, I'll take you to have a bath."

Taryn obediently followed her into the bathroom.

Gianna had Taryn sit in the bathtub and began dripping in her personally-prepared medicine.

Taryn asked curiously, "Ms. Geller, don't we need to take a shower? Won't the water become dirty since I am covered in ointment?"

"No, we don't," Gianna explained softly. "The ointment needs to blend with my medicine in the water to completely heal you."

Taryn nodded and obediently sat in the bathtub.

The water gradually heated up, and Taryn fell asleep.

She didn't know how long she had slept, but felt as though she was in a hot spring, feeling comfortable.

"Taryn, wake up!" Gianna called softly.

Suddenly, a gentle voice woke Taryn up. She slowly opened her eyes and, confused, looked at Gianna. "Did I fall asleep?"

Gianna smiled and spoke softly. "Go look in the mirror."

Taryn didn't understand, but went to the mirror as instructed.

When she saw herself in the mirror, her small eyes widened suddenly, and she yelled out, "Ah!!!"

The scream frightened Erica outside, who rushed inside the bathroom.

When she saw what was happening, her mouth opened wide in shock. "Taryn, your face, your body..."

Erica couldn't believe what she was seeing. Was this still Taryn, the ugly and disliked one from the Finley family?

No way!

Did she get replaced by a little girl who climbed up from the 15th floor?

Erica looked at Taryn, then at Gianna.

She carefully walked to the window and peered out, hoping to see the little girl that could have potentially fallen to her death.

But there was nothing outside.

Erica looked puzzled, and walked back to Taryn. She cautiously said, "Taryn, is that you?"

Taryn snapped out of her shock and grabbed Erica's hand excitedly. "Erica, it's me! I'm better, I'm really better!"

Taryn jumped with excitement. "Did you see it? The one in the mirror, that's me! I'm so pretty, right?"

Then Taryn suddenly cried, "I'm not ugly, I'm not an ugly duckling. Everyone called me an ugly duckling, but I'm not..." This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Erica also had tears in her eyes and hugged Taryn tightly. "That's right, Taryn is not ugly. You're the most beautiful child in the world."

Gianna saw how happy they were, so she packed up and left.

After Gianna left, Taryn asked, "Where is Ms. Geller?"

Erica snapped out of her reverie and patted her forehead. "Oh no, Ms. Geller has left."

"Erica, go find her quickly. I haven't thanked her yet," Taryn urged.

As Erica rushed out of the room, Taryn was joined by Lloyd, Irvin and Murray, who had just entered the room.

"Erica, why are you in such a hurry? Has something happened to Taryn?" Irvin asked.

Looking inside the room, Irvin only saw a very beautiful and delicate little girl, instead of Taryn.

He immediately ran into the room and asked, "What's going on? Where's Taryn? Where did she go?"

"Taryn, she..." Erica was about to speak, but Irvin grabbed her arm and growled, "Hurry up and tell me, what happened to Taryn?"

"Irvin, I'm here!" Taryn smiled sweetly from the side.

Irvin was shocked and looked at Lloyd, "Is that Taryn's voice? Where is she? Why didn't I see her?"
