Chapter 113

If it had been Silvia who sent her the beauty cream , she would have used it without hesitation .
At that moment , Zoe seemed to understand why Aria had grown distant from her .
They had never truly accepted Aria .
She had been the one to push Aria away first .
Tears rolled down her cheeks , and her face turned pale . “ Aria , I’m sorry . I’m so sorry .”
Aria shifted her gaze to Joseph . “ Joseph , before I came back to the Saxon family , I heard your legs had lingering issues with frostbite . On the day ! returned , I gave the butler ginger essential oil and instructed him to apply it to your legs every night . But you never used it . ”
If he’d used it , he would’ve asked her for more .
Joseph’s grip on his cane tightened instinctively . That day had ended in a mess , and he hadn’t dared to use anything she gave him . In fact , he had told the butler to throw it away .
Tara stood not far away , watching them . A wave of sadness washed over her for Aria . She touched her face , then looked at Aria with a serious expression . “ I believe in you , Aria . I know you can fix my face . ”
“ Let’s go . ”
Aria turned and walked away , with Tara hurrying to catch up .
Elena stood frozen , watching Aria’s figure fade into the distance . Regret weighed heavily on her chest , making it hard to breathe . She could only cry silently , unable to call out .
Once outside , Tara asked , “ Ms. Saxon , when can we start treating my face ? ”
“ Leave me your number . Tomorrow at nine , bring the beauty cream you used . ”
“ Okay . ”
Since the symptoms varied , Aria suspected the ingredients in the beauty creams might differ . To be thorough, she labeled the samples with names
before sending them for testing .
In the hospital .
Owen had just stepped into the hospital room when he ran into his parents , who were about to leave .
“ Dad , where are you two headed ?” he asked .
Emma explained how they had gone to confront the Saxon family , and how Hannah had promised to treat everyone’s faces . In the end , only Tara decided
to follow Aria .
Owen furrowed slightly , confusion flickering in his eyes . “ Hannah’s cream caused the issue , so why is everyone blaming Aria ? ”
He couldn’t make sense of their logic . “ Mom , are you going to Hannah ? ”
Emma nodded firmly . “ Of course ! I can’t go to Aria , can I ? ”
Owen frowned . “ But wasn’t the beauty cream she brought also from Kerano Global Health ? ”
Emma froze , momentarily at a loss .

They had indeed used the cream because of Kerano Global Health’s reputation , but it still caused problems .
Could Hannah really fix her face ?
Just then , Tara knocked on the door and walked in . “ Owen , perfect timing ! Hand me my beauty cream . I’m going to meet Aria tomorrow to get treated .
Owen had gone to another institution earlier that day , but they still couldn’t identify the issue with the cream .
While retrieving Tara’s beauty cream , he asked , “ Tara , why don’t you take my mom with you tomorrow ? ”
Emma pouted . “ I was planning to go to Hannah . ”
Compared to Hannah , James trusted Aria more . “ Emma , just listen to Owen and go to Aria . Hannah has so many people to treat , she won’t have time for you . If Aria can’t fix it , you can go to Hannah afterward . ”
Emma finally retented with a sigh . “ Fine , I’ll go with her . ”
As if remembering something , Owen placed Tara’s beauty cream back on the table . “ Tara , you can leave this bottle with me . I’ll take it to Aría tonight .
The moment those words left his mouth , Emma’s handbag slipped from her fingers and hit the floor with a sharp thud .
Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at him . “ Wait ! You two are living together ? ”
