My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 165

After leaving the beauty salon, Melanie took Lily to get her hair done. However, since Lily disliked complicated procedures, she only got a trim and a treatment. With plenty of time before the banquet, they went to Anmer Heights to get the evening gown.

Lily was concerned that Melanie might feel displeased due to the incident at the beauty salon. She went to her suitcase, took out a jar of her Signora Cream, and handed it to Melanie.

"Melanie, you don't need to go to the beauty salon anymore. Just use this. It's very effective."

Melanie accepted the cream, which came in a small jar that didn't look very impressive. However, not wanting to disappoint Lily, she nodded and accepted it. She asked, "Shall I try it now? I haven't put on my makeup yet."

"It works immediately," Lily assured her calmly.

Skeptical but curious, Melanie went to the bathroom and carefully applied the cream around her face, following Lily's instructions. Despite regular visits to the salon and various beauty treatments, she had noticeable wrinkles around her eyes due to age.

So, she applied more cream around the eye area and also on her neck, where she had a burn scar from a few years ago. She had considered skin graft surgery but eventually decided against it, so the scar remained there.

Lily had mentioned the cream could remove scars, so Melanie applied it around her neck as well.

Just as she was about to leave the bathroom, she noticed the burn scar disappearing bit by bit. She widened her eyes in shock and moved closer to the mirror. She was too astonished even to speak.

Not only was her neck scar fading, but the wrinkles around her eyes were also vanishing, and her skin was becoming smoother and more youthful. She felt as if she had instantly become ten years younger.

Overjoyed, Melanie rushed out and grabbed Lily's hand. "Lily, this is incredible! The scar on my neck is gone, and so are my eye wrinkles. How did you do it?"

Lily had just received a message from Loid. She was about to read it when Melanie came out.

She looked up at Melanie and calmly said, "I made it with some herbs."

"It must be quite expensive, right?" Melanie asked.

Lily knew traditional medicine, so it wasn't surprising that she could create such a product. However, Melanie assumed that something so miraculous must be made with precious herbs and unimaginably costly.

She felt a bit embarrassed that Lily had given her something so precious. On the other hand, she hadn't really given Lily much as her mother-in-law.
