Chapter 303 Wedding?

Chapter 303 Wedding?

Before that, she had to first develop the medicine to treat Lyra's facial wounds.

Wasn't Kaitlyn most jealous of Lyra's beauty?

Sophia was determined to make Lyra beautiful again, back to her peak.

Kaitlyn, living comfortably in a distant country, was both shocked and angry when black-suited bodyguards suddenly burst into her home.

She shouted, "Who are you? What do you want? Let go of me! You..."

Having just landed at Seraphim airport, Philip was about to get into the car his secretary had arranged when he received an anonymous message.

He was about to delete it, thinking it was spam, when he noticed the person in the video thumbnail looked somewhat familiar.

Unable to resist, he opened the video in the message.

"Don't come near me, please let me go, I can give you however much money you want!"

Philip frowned, gripping his phone tighter.

Someone who had been dead for four years—someone he'd cared about—had suddenly appeared in a video. Philip was stunned.

At the end of the video was an address.

Not in Seraphim, but in a town in the northernmost country in the world.

Along with it came a time limit.

In half an hour, there was a flight to that country. If he turned around now and went back to the airport to buy a ticket, he could still make it to the destination before dawn.

Philip was torn inside—on one side was Lyra, on the other was Kaitlyn, risen from the dead.

Only now did he truly realize that, in his heart, these two women had always been equal.

The moment Philip turned around.

In a Seraphim hospital room, Lyra, half her face wrapped in gauze, smiled bitterly at herself.

She half-reclined on the hospital bed, watching a large monitor. The camera clearly tracked Philip's various emotional changes after receiving the video.

At the same time.

On a split screen next to it was Sophia's cool and refined face.

Lyra smiled bitterly, "I never imagined that woman would use a fake death to torture me."

Having heard about her past before.

When Sophia learned that Kaitlyn wasn't dead, she felt even more heartbroken for her.

During those years when Kaitlyn faked her death, Lyra had been carrying the guilt of thinking she had caused someone's death. Every time Philip and his brothers and friends saw Lyra, they couldn't help but mock and ridicule her.

Lyra, who used to be cheerful and sunny like Emily, gradually became withdrawn.

Sophia glanced at Emily sleeping sweetly in the room and asked in a low voice, "What do you plan to do?"

"Should I hand Kaitlyn over to Philip, or bring her back to you so you can deal with her yourself?"

Philip didn't get to where he was today by being a fool.

He wouldn't just rush alone to a foreign country to rescue a woman who might be fake.

But like William in the past, his eyes seemed covered by something dirty.

No matter what people told him, he only believed what he had already decided, completely ignoring the explanations of those involved.

Hearing Sophia's confident and steady words, Lyra smiled.

"Hand her over to Philip. They made my life hell for years—it's time I gave something back."

Since she had decided to handle it herself, Sophia left the decision to her.

Looking at the heavy gauze on Lyra's face, her eyes flashed with sympathy. "Rest and heal well in the lab. I will definitely cure your face."

Lyra touched the gauze on her face and joked, "Actually, I don't care that much about looks. Even if I'm really disfigured, I can try other acting roles. Who knows, I might even win some acting awards!"

Her eyes looked warmly at Sophia as she smiled, "Sophia, you don't need to worry about me. Take good care of yourself."

Though she said this, what girl wouldn't care about her appearance?

Sophia had the lab strictly guarded, absolutely not allowing anyone without authorization to enter.

Since Philip had once again made his choice between Lyra and Kaitlyn, she couldn't be blamed for being ruthless and tripping him up.

[The Banks Group CEO Philip's long-dead lover spotted alive in a foreign country—four years later!]

Early the next morning.

The story spread like wildfire across social media.

Discussion about this news had already sparked thousands of heated debates.

Ever since that post went up and her agent quit, Cheryl hadn't slept well. She had been waiting for Philip to come back and stand up for her, thinking she would finally see the light, only to be shocked awake early in the morning by trending news.

Seeing Philip land at Eldoria airport, Cheryl's eyes widened. She knew better than anyone who lived in that country!

"How could this happen!"

Cheryl found another phone in the safe and quickly dialed Kaitlyn's number, but no one answered.

"You clearly said you would give Philip to me. Why did you expose your whereabouts?"

While others were watching gossip during work, Sophia was taking Joe and Emily to dig herbs on mountain paths.

During these two years in Rain Village.

She had been secretly growing medicinal herbs deep in the back mountain.

Now was harvest season.

Emily was wrapped up tight, wearing protective clothing on the outside and a hat similar to what beekeepers wear when collecting honey. Before leaving, she had been doused with insect repellent and was carried by Joe the whole way.

Until they reached her secret herb-growing area.

Sophia removed the black shade cloth covering it. Seeing the flourishing herbs inside, she let out a long breath of relief.

The roots were fragile and required careful technique to harvest.

Sophia didn't call many people to help, bringing only two or three.

She squatted down, carefully using a small hoe to dig around the herb roots, finally gently pulling it out by hand with the roots intact.

"Follow the method I taught you. After pulling out the herbs, put them in these black boxes."

The people who came nodded.

Joe also brought two bodyguards to watch the wild surroundings.

Emily sat obediently in the small deer chair they had brought, her curious eyes following Sophia's hands.

She picked up her toy shovel and imitated Sophia, digging at the wild grass nearby.

"Dig and dig and dig..."

Emily knew these herbs were for treating illnesses, so she didn't cause trouble. She just dug wild grass instead.

Time in Rain Village was busy and fulfilling.

Sophia's research on scar-treating beauty cream didn't succeed on the first try either.

After more than ten failures.

She finally succeeded a month later in developing a beauty repair cream that worked wonders on both newly healed scars and old wounds.

It wasn't just Lyra's facial scars that needed repair—Joe's face carried a scar too.

Men didn't care about appearance. Even if the cream really worked, Joe didn't want to bother with the scar on his face now. After years of living with it, he had actually gotten used to it.

Sophia directly assigned the task of applying the cream to Emily.

After all, none of the people around her could resist Emily's acting cute.

In the following days, she could always hear Emily calling out for someone.

"Mr. Watson, time to apply the cream."

The day Sophia sent the final beauty repair cream to Seraphim.

Lyra could already move around.

Driven by the desire to make Kaitlyn pay, she had been actively cooperating with treatment.

Her wounds healed quickly under the lab's no-expense-spared treatment.

Only no one expected...

She had just recovered, the scars on her face hadn't yet disappeared, when she heard that Philip and Kaitlyn were planning a wedding!
