Yes, Deirdre did not have the convenience of borrowing someone else’s face, like Charlene. Her face was given to her by her parents, and she had grown into it herself. Yet, she loathed her previous face due to her painful past.
‘Isn’t that… funny?’
If Ophelia were still alive and knew about this, she would surely be sad, right? Her daughter, whom she was so proud of, did not even have the courage to restore her previous facial appearance.
Deirdre lowered her head and sobbed.
Kyran wiped away her tears and comforted her. “Deirdre, no one can force you against your will. It’s your face, and you’re the sole decision-maker for it. We won't do if you don’t want a facial reconstruction. Anyone acquainted with you will disregard your appearance and like you sincerely.
“As for those who criticized your appearance, you don’t need to mind them because they are only a rock on your life path that you tripped once but won’t step on again.”
Deirdre didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at Kyran’s description, but her heart…
Her heart calmed down.
“Sure.” Deirdre’s crystal clear eyes were calm, and she cracked a faint smile on her lips. “I’ve made my decision. I would like to reconstruct my face, Kyran.”
She wanted it not for anything else but for Ophelia.
It was her face. As for Brendan and Charlene, they were already from her past. She had lost her eyes and her child for Brendan, so she would not allow herself to give up on the face that her parents had given her.
Brendan was not worthy and did not deserve Deirdre to give up on her face.
Kyran did not type but held her hand and gave her a soft kiss.
Dr. Engle came after he was notified.
Deirdre said in a slightly embarrassed tone, “I’m sorry for troubling you to come twice, Dr. Engle.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. You don’t need to feel that way, Miss McKinnon. Our department is not far away anyhow! Moreover, I’m on leave, and Mr. Reed has specially commissioned me, so I don’t have other patients to attend to.” Dr. Engle did not mind. “Please take a seat, Miss McKinnon.”
