Reggie's reflection in the mirror left him speechless. His face, which he had only dared to hope would slightly improve, had nearly returned to its original condition, and the scars and burns markedly healed. "How? How is this even possible?" he muttered, his voice laced with disbelief.

The healing was almost miraculous, far beyond what he could have anticipated for such a short period.

While not entirely perfect, the vast improvement meant that to any casual observer, his face appeared almost normal.

"In a couple more weeks, you'll be completely healed," Isabel affirmed with a confident nod, seeing the shock mixed with relief on Reggie's face.

Reggie turned towards her, his eyes shimmering with unspoken gratitude.

"Hey, no need for thanks between us, okay?" she chimed in quickly, wanting to ease the emotional weight of the moment.

Caught off guard by her prompt, Reggie smiled warmly and playfully pinched Isabel's cheek, "Alright, I'll keep the formalities to myself then."

Their bond transcended mere words of gratitude; they were family, deeply entwined in each other's lives. Isabel handed Reggie an apple she had just washed. "Eat up, it's good for your skin," she advised. "Sure," Reggie agreed, taking the apple and biting into it.

As he enjoyed the fresh fruit, Isabel's thoughts drifted to Jessica, who had left in a huff, issuing threats.

She wondered silently who would truly end up regretting their actions.

Suddenly, Isabel felt a persistent twitch in her right eyelid. She rubbed it, trying to soothe the annoying flutter.

"What's up, Isabel?" Reggie asked, noticing her discomfort.

"Just a little eye twitch, probably from lack of sleep," she replied casually, trying to dismiss her concern. "You should head back and get some rest then," Reggie suggested.

"Okay, I should head out now," Isabel said, wrapping up the conversation. Just then, her phone rang. It was Xander.

Glancing at Reggie, she hesitated. Sharing the truth about her marriage with Xander was not something she intended to do; it would only worry Reggie unnecessarily.

Isabel had no intention of revealing the truth to Reggie once her assignment was concluded, she aimed to divorce Xander and move on, pretending that none of it ever occurred. Stepping outside with her phone, Isabel answered the call. "Hello?"
