The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 89
Doreen was taken aback by the high cost of the medicine and didn’t know what to do. The main problem was that she was
deceived by Arabella before, and the reputation of Vivienne. was not good, so she was worried about being deceived again.
But Bertha, without hesitation, said, “We’re willing to foot the bill, I think that’s how it should. be. Arabella didn’t charge a cent and
almost killed my granddaughter. You charge but Faye looks so much better now, so we’re willing to pay.”
She trusted Clara. Although others might deceive her, Clara wouldn’t, so she believed in
Vivienne’s medical skills.
Plus, she could tell just by looking, Vivienne’s methods of treatment were different from hospital doctors. Most importantly, Dr.
Marcus didn’t spot any problem with the prescription, but Vivienne saw the problem at a glance.
That’s not something anyone without real skills could do.
As for the high charges, she felt it was reasonable. Apart from the 50,000 consultation fee, the rest were medicine fees.
According to hospital standards, a consultation fee of 50,000 was indeed high, but for Vivienne to demand this much, it showed
confidence in her own medical skills.
High medicine costs meant good quality medicine. She knew many rare medicinal herbs were expensive, so she felt it was worth
it if the money could cure Faye’s illness and her
face.
Vivienne nodded and said, “Alright, wait for another ten minutes. After I remove the needle, you can pay. I’ll come for treatment
every day for the next three days. The pills need to be taken on an empty stomach at six in the morning. Keep her diet light and
the windows open for ventilation.”
Vivienne paused and said, “The medicine Arabella prescribed before cannot be taken anymore. If you don’t listen to me and
anything unexpected happens, I won’t take
responsibility and won’t continue the treatment.”
Doreen immediately agreed, “Don’t worry, her medicine almost killed Faye. I will never let Faye take it again.”

Vivienne nodded and stopped talking.
Ten minutes later, Faye woke up and saw a strange woman in the room. She panicked and hid in the corner of the bed, lowering
her head, not letting Vivienne see her.
Doreen got on the bed and hugged Faye, crying, “Faye, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I didn’t do my research last time and blindly
trusted Arabella, causing you to suffer. Rest assured, this Ms. Hawthorn’s medical skills are good. She pulled you back from the
brink of death, and she can cure your face.”
“Mum, I don’t want to treat my face anymore, I don’t want to treat it anymore” Faye shock her head, not lifting it up, she was
scared of people seeing her face
“Faye, don’t be like this, it breaks my heart Doreen cried even harder, 1 want you to be healthy, to live like a normal person. I
worry about you like this”
“Mum, I beg you, don’t push me, I really don’t want to be treated anymore. Faye also started crying. “If you push me any further,
just let me die
“How can I let you die? You’re my daughter”
They cried together, with no one else able to intervene.
Vivienne looked at Faye and said to Doreen, “Me Doreen, let me have a few words with Ms. Faye.”
“This...” Doreen hesitated, remembering the look of disgust in Arabella’s eyes when she saw Faye last time.
Faye became more self-conscious after this incident. If Vivienne hit her again, she might really lose the courage to continue her
life.
“Let Ms. Hawthorn talk,” Bertha said. ‘Since we chose to let Ms. Hawthom treat her, we have
to trust her.”
Just through brief contact, Bertha found Vivienne to be completely different from Arabella.
Things hadn’t been going so well for the Baker family in recent years, and Arabella’s demeanor clearly showed her disdain for
them, and she didn’t care about Faye at all.

But Vivienne, from her entrance till now, though her face was expressionless, she didn’t show any dislike for them.
Bertha didn’t know why, she just trusted Vivienne.
“Alright then.” Seeing Bertha say that, Doreen made way.
Vivienne stood at Faye’s bedside and calmly said, ‘Ms. Faye, if a person is always in the dark, she will never see the light. The
world is not as dark as you imagine. Maybe you can try to lift your head and look at the sky outside.”
Faye didn’t respond or lift her head.
Vivienne wasn’t angry, she continued, “What’s truly ugly is not your face, but the human heart. Do you want to watch those who
slander you stand in the sunshine and continue to mock you? Stand up, even if your face can’t be healed, as long as you’re
confident enough, no one will dare to laugh at you.”
At last, Faye responded, she was silent for a moment, saying, “I have no confidence anymore. My grades used to be my pride,
but I’ve been off school for too long, and my face is ruined, I can’t find my confidence anymore.”
“Confidence is given by oneself, not by others. Hiding is the path chosen by the weak.”
Vivienne’s voice remained unemotional.
She’s not a patient person.
The reason she talked so much today was because she thought of her past self.
At Havenwood, she would often have negative emotions due to the environment and would
often release some hidden kindness.
She felt she had changed.
What changed her?
Perhaps it was Dorian and Cordelia, they gradually softened her indifference.
Seeing Faye not speaking anymore, Vivienne said, “I don’t like weak people, nor do I like treating them. Think about it, if you’re
willing to accept treatment, stand up and walk towards the light from now on; if not, I’ll leave right away.”

After saying that Vivienne stopped talking, waiting for Faye’s answer.
About five minutes later, Faye finally lifted her head and looked at Vivienne, then froze. Vivienne was really beautiful.
She was too panicked initially and only saw a stranger in the room, didn’t quite catch a good look at Vivienne’s face. Now that
she did, she thought Vivienne was not only beautiful but radiated a certain light.
A light that could brighten up the darkness, giving her hope to carry on with life.
She studied Vivienne for a few seconds and asked, ‘Can you really cure me? Last time, Arabella swore she could...”
“I can’t promise, but I’ll do my best.” Vivienne was pretty confident she could heal Faye, but she usually didn’t like to sound too
sure.
Giving someone hope and then letting them down is the worst kind of pain.
Faye thought for a moment, ‘I’ll take the treatment.”
Vivienne and Arabella were two different people, and Vivienne didn’t disdain her.
The look in someone’s eyes can’t hide their true feelings.
“Alright” Vivienne nodded, ‘From today, I’ll be in charge of your condition. I’m Vivienne. Remember, until you’re fully recovered,
I’m the only one who can treat you. You don’t have to see me just as a doctor, consider me a friend. Any changes in your body,
tell me right away.”
Faye cracked a small smile, “Ok, I’ll remember.”
For some reason, the way Vivienne spoke made her feel comfortable.
She believed Vivienne had the ability to cure her facial condition.
Moreover, Vivienne was willing to be her friend, the first person to do so since her face was
