Chapter 1480

After giving it another glance, William added, "You could probably have surgery this year. Scar treatment is a process, and considering how bad the injury was, it might be tough to make it perfect. You might end up with a faint scar, but it won't be too obvious." "Alright," Sophie nodded.

"Why do you ask, Sophie?"

"I noticed you didn't have any luggage, so I figured you hadn't just arrived today."

"...Sophie, you're pretty sharp."
