He discreetly summoned a doctor to treat her injuries and instructed a maid to help Sophie change into clean clothes. Only after her wounds were bandaged did Caleb finally go in to see her. “Doctor, how is Sophie’s face injury?”

“Doctor, how is Sophie’s face injury?”

The elderly doctor sighed and replied, “This young lady’s face has not only been struck but also has reopened old wounds. It’s quite severe. To heal completely without leaving scars will be very difficult.”

Caleb frowned deeply. “Doctor, please think of another solution.”

The doctor shook his head and sighed again. “It’s not that I don’t want to help, but unless you can get the snow cream from the palace, I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do.”

He thought, ‘Snow cream?

‘Wait, I have some!

‘I gave all of Mom’s snow cream to Sophie before. She must still have some left!‘

Caleb hurried to Sophie, who looked at him with a pitiful expression and said softly, “Caleb, the snow cream you gave me… I loved it so much, I used it all the time. And then… well, it’s all gone now.”

“You used all three jars already?” Caleb asked, his voice tinged with disbelief.

Sophie’s eyes reddened as she dabbed at the corners, her voice trembling. “Are you upset with me, Caleb? I was just so happy to receive your gift… I couldn’t help but use it all.”

Caleb’s heart clenched. “No, of course not. I’m not angry. I’m just worried about you, Sophie. The doctor said only snow cream can heal your face, but it’s so rare to find.”

She thought, ‘Snow cream can heal me? Then go find it for me!‘

A fleeting sharpness flashed in Sophie’s gaze, though her face remained sorrowful. Her tear–filled eyes seemed full of affection and understanding as she murmured, “It’s okay, Caleb. I don’t want to trouble you. If you can’t find it, I’ll just have to live with the scars forever. But like this… I’ll never be worthy of you. Maybe I should leave.”

Sophie made a move as if she were about to leave.

Caleb, who had been waiting for her to open up, wasn’t about to let her go so easily. “Don’t go, Sophie!”

“Don’t go, Sophie!”

In his desperation, Caleb blurted out a heartfelt promise, “Sophie, don’t worry! I’ll do whatever it takes to heal your face. And even if it can’t be healed, I’ll still marry you. You’re mine, no matter what, alive or even in death!”

He could ask his mother, and she could plead with the Empress Dowager to get a few more bottles of Snow Cream.

With that, Sophie’s face would surely be saved.

Sophie threw herself into Caleb’s arms, her voice trembling as if she were about to cry. “I knew it, Caleb. You’re the only one who truly cares about me. But you have to come to the Duke’s estate tomorrow to propose. If you don’t, my father will marry me off to someone else!”

“Alright! I’ll definitely come!” Without thinking, Caleb blurted, “I’ll come for sure!”

Sophie looked at him, her eyes glinting with a mix of worry and determination. Then, without warning, she stood on tiptoe and pressed her lips to his.
