Chapter 926:
Yelena took Karlee’s hand, squeezing it encouragingly. “Keep your chin up, Karlee p>
With that boost, Karlee inhaled sharply, stood taller, and led Yelena to her room.
As soon as she entered the room, however, her initial thrill dissipated. Yelena touched her shoulder softly, offering comfort. “You’ve been incredibly brave p>
Karlee managed a strained smile and nodded. “Okay p>
Yelena then went on with the treatment. This session felt even less intense than before; Karlee hardly noticed any discomfort.
After the treatment time elapsed, Yelena gently cleaned off the ointment and handed Karlee a mirror.
Hesitant, Karlee squeezed her eyes shut, too fearful to look.
“Go ahead. Take a look,” Yelena said.
“Okay p>
With a mix of anxiety and courage, Karlee slowly opened her eyes. Karlee’s breath caught in her throat as her mind went completely blank. Was that… really her?
The mirror revealed a face with smooth, flawless skin, almost unrecognizable.
“Is that really me? Am I dreaming?” Karlee’s voice was incredulous as she pinched herself.
“Ouch! Okay, definitely not a dream!” Karlee, overcome with joy, leaped up and wrapped Yelena in a tight hug, tears spilling down her cheeks.
Quickly dabbing at her eyes, she asked, “Yelena, how can I ever thank you enough p>
Yelena gave her a playful wink and teased, “Don’t worry, you’ll find a way p>

Observing them descend the stairs, Stan noticed Karlee’s reluctance to show her face and felt a pang of disappointment. The attempt appeared unsuccessful.
Feel the thrill at
“Dad p>
Stan was prepared for the worst, turning towards her as she called out. Karlee lifted her head slowly, locking eyes with him. The shock on his face was palpable as he saw her restored complexion—rendered completely speechless.
“Is this… can this be real p>
Karlee nodded, then burst into laughter mixed with tears. “It’s real, not a dream. My face has truly healed p>
Stan motioned for Karlee to come closer and examined her face intently. Indeed, the blemishes were gone. Anyone unaware of her history would be unable to tell she had ever had such severe skin issues.
“Thank you, Yelena p>
Yelena responded with a smile. “There’s no need for thanks. I didn’t exactly do this for free p>
Stan stared at Yelena, momentarily stunned. He was curious about what she wanted in return.
He considered the potential. Engaging in business with the Harris family might not be such a poor decision. Despite his brother’s rocky relationship with the Harris family, collaborating with them now might actually help mend fences.
“Pray tell. What’s this about p>
“Relax. It’s not related to the Harris family,” Yelena explained.
Not the Harris family’s?
Stan’s interest was piqued, his response catching in his excitement. With a shaky voice, he asked, “Then whose concern is it p>
