Chapter 406
The process was relaxing. Hesper just closed her eyes and felt Stephen apply something to her face. She couldn’t tell what the texture was, but it was cooling
“By the way…” Hesper said, but Stephen tapped her head. “Don’t talk.”
Stephen realized that she had something important to say, so he impatiently said, “Go ahead. Don’t talk during the procedure next time, or it might complicate things.
Hearing that, Hesper cut it short. “It has to somewhat look like my face or my student ID won’t work.”
“What?” Stephen smirked. Tm just giving you a disguise, it isn’t magic. I’m not going to change your face… If I knew that was what you were going to say, I wouldn’t have let you speak.”
Hesper could tell that Stephen wasn’t a young man and would be around Roberto’s age, but his current face wasn’t his original one, so Hesper couldn’t tell his exact age.
However, his personality was so childishi
After some time, Hesper was on the verge of falling asleep. Stephen removed his glove and tapped her shoulder “Alright, you can open your eyes now.”
Hesper was surprised because it was quicker than she expected.
Opening her eyes, she saw her reflection in the mirror and was shocked.
The person in the mirror gave a shocked expression too, and that was when Hesper linked that face to herself
“How about it? Is it ordinary enough?”
Stephen leaned against the wall Hesper took a closer look at her new face. There wasn’t a huge difference, but it was somehow different. She had to admit that she looked so ordinary now, no one would be able to point her out from a lineup
“This face won’t last very long You’ll have to resculpt it after half a month and be very cautious. You can wash it but don’t use any chemicals on it. That includes makeup because makeup removers would ruin it Stephen paused. “But I guess you won’t need that.”
“Thanks,” Hesper was very thankful. Without this skill of his, she would have a tough time getting around. “Even though you’re Mr. Sanchez’s friend, I have to ask, do I need to pay? I’ll pay whatever you ask for.”
Stephen shook his head. “Do I look like I need more money?”
Hesper was silent.
Seeing that she was feeling awkward, Stephen frowned, then asked, “What’s your family name?”
Hesper was confused.
Even though she didn’t know what her actual last name was when people called her Hesper
Rivera, wasn’t it obvious that her family name was Rivera?
“Oh, I’m sorry… I’ve seen a face with such perfect bone structure before but he has long passed. Could you be his child? As for how long it has been… I don’t even remember.” Stephen shrugged.
Even though he was apologizing, his expression was indifferent. “I’m sorry, my memory isn’t as good as it used to be.”
“That’s fine.” Hesper shook her head. After a pause, she continued. “Even though I don’t want to admit it, I don’t know what my actual last name is, so I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you.”
