Chapter 88

After a moment of silence, Thomas got down to business.

“Have you told Susan about the fake scars?” Thomas asked.

Ben’s mouth involuntarily twitched when he heard how intimately Thomas addressed Susan. He suppressed his annoyance and replied to Thomas, “Not yet. I want to give her at surprise.”

“It’ll indeed be a big surprise,” said Thomas.

“Tell me, when can we start removing the scars?” Ben got to the point.

He had never cared about what he looked like before.

Now, however, he couldn’t wait to see Susan’s ecstasy at the sight of his real looks.

“Originally, the scars are removed every half a year. But it’s not yet half a year since we did it last time, so I haven’t prepared the medicine yet. Thomas paused to calculate. “It’ll take a week to prepare the medicine and about three days to soften your scars first before we slowly remove them. After that, a simple skin repair will be needed.”

Hearing that the scars could be removed only a week later, Ben’s eyes lit up.

“Okay. Get ready as soon as possible. I’ll make time for you,” Ben said.

Thomas nodded in reply.

After that, Ben looked at the flashy Thomas and tried to drive him away. “You’ve already had dinner and tea. You can leave now.”

“Hey! You’re too heartless! We haven’t seen each other for so long, and you’re driving me away so soon?” Thomas questioned in a shocked voice.

“Hurry up and leave,” Ben said without any mercy.

As soon as Ben finished speaking, Susan snapped disapprovingly, “Ben! How can you drive a guest away so rudely?”

Susan walked over and said gently, “Thomas, feel free to stay. I’ve asked the cook to prepare some dessert. Ben told me that you used to live here when you were a child, so I’ve arranged for someone to clean up the guest room. You’ve just returned from abroad, and you must haven’t yet cleaned up your house. If you don’t mind, how about you stay here for a few days first?”

“What? You want him to live here? I…” Ben intended to refuse.

Thomas looked as if he’d been wronged. “But Ben doesn’t seem to welcome me to stay.”

“Ignore him,” said Susan, “Just feel free to stay here.”

Thomas looked touched as he said, “Susan, you’re so kind to me.”
