Two days later, Nancy arrived in Ameria, preparing to stay at the hospital to take care of Ellie.

Although Ellie had been refusing Nancy’s companionship, Nancy insisted on staying, not leaving until the day Ellie was ready to be discharged with her bandages removed.

As the doctor removed all the bandages from Ellie’s face, the startling scars on her face were revealed to everyone.

Ellie reached for a mirror, but Lacey took it first. Lacey hid the mirror behind her back, shaking her head with tears in her eyes. “Ellie, don’t look.”

Ellie smiled bravely, “It’s okay; let me see what I look like now.”

Nancy held Ellie’s hand and persuaded her, “Ellie, I’ll find the best doctors for you. I promise you’ll be as beautiful as before.”

“Nancy, I am a doctor. Don’t worry about me.” Ellie’s maturity even made the doctor who removed her bandages feel heartache.
