“Hi Scarlett, this is Mr. Lloyd. I wanted to ask you… that scar–removal cream for burn scars, do you have any more?”
It was the scar–removal cream Scarlett had given him before.
Honestly, he hadn’t held out much hope at first.
After his wife’s face was burned, nearly half of it had been destroyed.
She’d gone through countless reconstructive surgeries and skin grafts.
Though it was much better than before, the scarring was still very obvious compared to normal skin.
His wife’s name was Janessa Roble.
The two of them had known each other and fallen in love since they were teenagers.
When he first started out as a director, he was dirt poor.
But Janessa had always supported him.
And the reason Janessa’s face was disfigured was because she’d saved him.
Back then, they were still living in a rental apartment.
Someone downstairs had illegally charged their electric scooter inside their unit, and it caught fire.
It was the middle of the night, and by the time they woke up choking on smoke, the flames had already spread upward.
When they rushed out, a burning support beam came crashing down.
Janessa shoved him out of the way, but she got hit.
It struck her face.
That was how she got disfigured.
Because of the scars on her face, she rarely wanted to go outside anymore and avoided interacting with people.
He loved Janessa deeply.
Naturally, he hoped she could get better and hoped she could become her cheerful self again.
He brought the scar–removal cream home but kept his doubts to himself.
After giving it to Janessa, he said cheerfully, “Honey, I got you another scar–removal cream. Try it out. This one should really work.”

Janessa held the scar–removal cream in her hands, her expression dim, her voice soft. “What’s the point? I’ve already bought so many of these scar–removal creams, and not a single one has worked. Think about it. If a cream could actually fade burn scars, it would’ve been famous by now.”
Seeing her husband’s eyes turning red, Janessa forced a small smile and asked, “Where’d you get this one? I’ll try applying it every day.”
Elliot told her about how Scarlett had given him the scar–removal cream.
Janessa didn’t say anything at the time, but her heart had already sunk with disappointment.
She didn’t believe some scar–removal cream made by a celebrity could actually work.
Even if it was a formula from Scarlett’s grandfather, if it really worked, he would’ve been famous long ago.
He would’ve turned the scar–removal cream into a product known all over the world.
But Janessa still didn’t want to let her husband down, so she applied it every morning and evening.
She kept to her usual routine.
Before applying any scar–removal cream each day, she would take a photo to document the progress.
Actually, by the end of the first week, when she looked in the mirror one morning, she noticed the scars on her face seemed slightly lighter.
But she assumed it was just her imagination.
It wasn’t until the second week, when she compared her documented photos, that she realized the scars really had faded a bit.
Now, three weeks had passed.
Comparing the photos she’d taken, the difference was clearly visible.
The scars had definitely lightened.
If she kept using it, the results would surely be even better
Only then did Janessa feel surprised and excited.
Could the day really come when her face would actually be healed?
The only problem was that after three weeks, the scar–removal creant was all used up
Elliot knew Scarlett had finished filming for the day, so he waited until evening to call her right away.
When Scarlett had given him the scar–removal cream, she’d only mentioned that her grandfather was a traditional medicine practitioner.

Elliot had assumed the scar–removal cream was something Scarlett’s grandfather had made in the past.
And since her grandfather had already passed away, if this scar–removal cream ran out, that would be the end of it.
So when he called Scarlett, his heart was full of anxiety and nervousness.
Scarlett said, “Yes, there’s more.”
Elliot finally felt a wave of relief wash over him. He almost cried.
“Scarlett, could you sell me some of this scar–removal cream?”
He was willing to pay any price.
Scarlett continued, “I don’t have any on hand right now. How about the day after tomorrow?”
“You don’t have any right now?” Elliot was confused. “Wasn’t this scar–removal cream made by your grandfather?”
