Zachary lifted Lenora into the car, and upon returning to the mansion, he carried her from the car to the master bedroom. Throughout the journey, he made sure Lenora's feet never touched the ground.

Two days had passed, and Lenora had removed the gauze from her face.

The swelling on her face had long since subsided, leaving only three dark red scabs behind.

One of the cuts was located near the cheekbone, just a bit higher and it would have injured her eye. Zachary gently caressed her face, offering utmost reassurance. "Don't worry. It won't leave a scar."

He would search for the most effective scar removal treatments and devices for her.

Lenora's expression remained indifferent, as if she didn't seem to care.

Claiming not to care about beauty was a lie, but Lenora knew her own body. She wasn't prone to scarring. Once a scab fell off, the new skin that grew was slightly softer and lighter than the surrounding area. It could be easily concealed with foundation and concealer. "I want to go and see my dad," Lenora said, lifting her gaze to meet Zachary's.

"All right. I'll go with you."

When he stepped out, Lenora put on a face mask, covering her features thoroughly.

Zachary lifted Lenora into the car. Upon reaching the cemetery, he retrieved a wheelchair from the trunk. He carefully placed Lenora onto it, then wheeled her into the graveyard, stopping in front of Fernando's tombstone.

At that very moment, the tomb had been completely restored, showing no signs of any damage.

"Dad, I'm sorry. I've failed you as a daughter, even causing you unrest in the afterlife."

Lenora placed the flowers she had prepared in front of the tombstone, her fingers gently tracing the engraved letters on the stone. Her eyes gradually welled up with tears.

"Not too long ago, I had a dream abo

Kenneth's death was rather timely. He wouldn't bother Lenora anymore.

It would be best if this matter were buried forever, never to be revealed to Lenora.
