Scars of a Restoration Master

Start Reading

I am the worlds last Restoration Master, known for healing severe injuries to at least ninety percent of their original state. Yet, I fear and hate this power because of my past life.

Back then, old Mr. Grenier paid me a fortune to heal his granddaughter Daisy, who was disfigured in a fire. After six months of work, her looks improved noticeably. His grandson Jason started pursuing me, and Daisy begged me to marry him. I believed they were truly grateful.

But on my wedding night, Jason set the bridal chamber on fire, trying to burn me alive. He screamed that I was a fraudmodern medicine could have healed Daisy completely. He blamed me for the death of a girl named Lily, claiming shed died in despair after I refused to help her. Lets see you restore yourself when youre a charred corpse! he snarled. Outside, Daisy laughed and shouted, If not for you, Lily would have cured me! Go to hell!

I burned to ashes, filled with rage.

When I opened my eyes, I was back on the day old Mr. Grenier first came, offering his bounty to save Daisy. This time, I just shook my head.

Im sorry, but her burns are too severe. I cant restore her face. You should find someone else.

Old Mr. Grenier seemed to age several years in an instant upon hearing my words.

He had exhausted all his resources, consulted the most authoritative experts, yet Daisy Greniers appearance remained utterly terrifying.

If I didn't help, Daisy would truly have to live with that face for the rest of her life.

Daisy is my only granddaughter. She has always been so fond of her beauty since childhood. If you dont step in, Daisys life will be ruined.

He looked as if he wanted to kneel directly before me, but I quickly helped him up.

Before me, Daisys face was horrific, her body covered in scars from surgeries, and her once slender fingers were fused together by the intense heat.

In my previous life, I had exerted tremendous effort to restore ninety percent of her appearance. By the later stages, her face and body looked no different from before.

Just then, Jason burst through the door, pulling Lily Bell with him, his gaze towards me filled with intense disdain.

Grandpa, this Willow Grey is nothing but a quack! Modern medicine is so advanced, why do we need to beg her?

He quickly pulled Lily in front of old Mr. Grenier, speaking earnestly.

Lily is the one who can save Daisy. Shes already a renowned plastic surgeon in the industry, and she can effortlessly restore Daisys appearance to its original state!

Grandpa, do you want a perfect Daisy or a ninety-percent restored Daisy?

In the last life, Jason never even appeared at my doorstep. Had he also reincarnated?

As his words fell, old Mr. Grenier looked at Lily with hopeful eyes.

Everyone present had more or less heard of Lily Bells reputation as a stoic, goddess-like healer, so their gazes at her held more trust.

Lily curled a confident smile.

Of course, Ive healed more severe injuries than Miss Daisys.

Besides, Miss Daisy is Jasons sister, so Ill do everything in my power to restore Miss Daisys appearance to its original state.

As she spoke, she looked at me triumphantly.

I merely chuckled.

Mr. Grenier, since youve found someone who can help your granddaughter, Ill take my leave.

Jason scoffed as I turned to leave: Willow Grey, playing hard to get again, are we? This life, Lily will not only save Daisy, but shell completely restore Daisys appearance.

If it werent for you in the last life, how could Daisys face only be restored to ninety percent?!

Youre nothing but a quack trying to climb the social ladder. Dont even dream of marrying into the Grenier family this life.

Evil people like you should suffer all the pain Lily did in the last life.

He whispered, spewing venomous words into my ear.

But in the last life, Lily Bell was never assaulted; it was all a play she orchestrated herself to ruin me.

Besides, it wasnt me trying to climb the social ladder; it was Jason who desperately begged me to marry him.

With Lily Bells medical skills, restoring Daisy Grenier to even thirty percent would be a struggle.

Recalling Daisy Greniers sinister grin in the previous life, laughing outside the raging fire and urging it to burn fiercer, I turned and left the Grenier mansion.

This life, I wouldn't save her again.

As I left the Grenier estate, I saw the very men who had intended to assault Lily Bell in my previous life.

They grinned lecherously, surrounding me.

We havent had a taste of a Restoration Master yet.

She looks quite well-endowed, I wonder what she tastes like.

They grabbed my limbs, pinning me firmly to the ground.

One by one, my clothes were stripped off, and I struggled to push them away.

Seeing my struggle, their actions became even more brutal.

Why did they suddenly appear here? Why did they know I was a Restoration Master?

I suddenly realized something and looked towards the Grenier mansions main gate, incredulously.

Jason gently covered Lily Bells eyes, watching my humiliated state with a cold sneer.

Lily, dont look. Its not for kids. Dont stain your eyes.

The hatred in my heart spread like a vine throughout my entire body.

In the previous life, he blamed me for everything Lily suffered, leading to my fiery death. In this life, he was even finding people to ruin my innocence!

Tears of humiliation welled in my eyes. I planned to use the poison needles hidden on my body to kill them.

This was the Restoration Masters last resort for survival, a method not to be used unless in utter despair.

Stripped down to just my inner garment, I gathered my strength to strike.

The next second, the Miller family suddenly appeared. The leading bodyguards kicked those men away with swift precision.

Jason frowned in displeasure when he saw who it was.

Leo, why are you here?

What are you doing here? Havent your sister caused enough trouble for mine?!

Leo ignored him.

Who was truly harming whom was clear to everyone present.

If Daisy Grenier hadn't playfully set the fire, how would young Miss Miller have suffered such an unwarranted disaster?

Leo hurried to my side, gently helping me up, his tone utterly sincere.

Healer Grey, please, save my sister.

No sooner had he spoken than Jason interjected, his voice dripping with mockery.

You call her a healer? Leo, are you out of your mind? Theres only one true healer, and thats Lily.

Let this Willow Grey save your sister? Im afraid your sister will never be able to look in a mirror again.

Willow Grey, youre truly ruthless in your pursuit of marrying into a wealthy family. Disgusting! Seducing me wasnt enough, now youre trying to seduce Leo?

Hearing Jasons comments, Leo quickly shielded me.

A cold voice rang out.

Mr. Grenier, you should accumulate some good karma for your sister. Is Healer Grey someone you can slander?

Whether my sister can look in a mirror again, I dont know, but your sister likely wont be able to.

With that, his eyes reddened, and he again pleaded with me to save his sister.

I silently recalled his sisters injuries from the previous life, gaining confidence.

His sister, Luna Miller, was not as severely injured as Daisy Grenier.

In the previous life, he had also desperately begged me to save his sister, but each time Daisy Grenier had obstructed me in every possible way.

Only after I died did I learn.

Before the injury, Luna Miller was significantly prettier than Daisy Grenier. Daisy had long disliked Luna.

Later, when Daisys appearance was restored by ninety percent, she daily taunted Luna, calling her incredibly ugly.

A month after that, in the previous life, it was Daisy Greniers birthday. She deliberately feigned reconciliation and invited Luna Miller to her birthday party, deceiving Luna into believing no one else would be there.

It wasnt until Luna arrived at the party in a wheelchair that she realized all the prominent figures in the city had gathered there.

Ultimately, Luna, unable to bear the strange looks and insults from everyone, committed suicide at home.

Until her death, she blamed no one, only mumbling, I shouldnt disgrace the Miller family.

Thinking of this, I slowly spoke.

Jason, do you dare to make a bet with me?

Well bet on who dares to show their face at Daisy Greniers birthday party a month from now.

Im putting my entire fortune plus my Restoration Art on the line against you. Do you dare?

Lily Bells eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance when she heard me bet my Restoration Art.

But soon, her expression turned disdainful.

How much is your fortune worth? And your Restoration Art might not even be as good as my medical skills.

Jason, this wager isnt fair at all.

Jason affectionately ruffled Lily Bells head: Its just for fun. Ten million, I bet Willow Grey loses.

Lily Bell snuggled coquettishly into Jasons embrace, pouting sweetly: Oh, you. Ten million is enough to buy her life. Jason, dont bully her.

I sneered.

Ten million? Does Mr. Grenier think your own sister is only worth ten million?

One job for me is worth more than ten million.

Ill offer one hundred million. Mr. Grenier, are you in?

Hearing me say this, Jasons eyes showed strong displeasure, and Lily Bell was so angered her chest heaved.

Before Jason could speak, Lily Bell confidently placed his wager.

Of course, were in. Youre humiliating Daisy like this, youre openly challenging the entire Grenier family. Well bet one percent of Grenier Industries.

No sooner had she spoken than I burst out laughing.

One percent? Are you trying to pay off a beggar?

Upon hearing my words, Lily Bells face turned green then white.

One percent of Grenier Industries is worth at least half a billion! Lets see if you can match that!

Leo, who had been silent beside me, gently pulled my hand.

Then he said, Ill bet ten percent of Miller Corporation. Mr. Grenier, are you in?

I wanted to stop him, but he gave me a reassuring look, Theres a high chance Daisy Grenier caused my sister to be like this. Ive wanted to get revenge for my sister for a long time. Besides, I trust your skills, Healer Grey.

Lets go, saving my sister is the priority.

My heart warmed.

Jason looked coldly at Leo, his desire to win almost clouding his judgment.

But he still had a sliver of rationality left.

Many people were recording with their phones right now; this bet was no joke.

As he hesitated, Lily Bell confidently accepted the wager.

Fine, ten percent it is. Willow Grey, I look forward to the day your reputation is ruined and youre begging on the streets!

Seeing Lily Bells confident demeanor, Jason felt much relieved.

Jason and I quickly signed the agreement.

Before leaving, Jason didnt forget to mock me from behind.

Willow Grey, being a Healer isnt for just anyone. I truly look forward to the day your name is dragged through the mud.

I actually agreed with his last statement. Indeed, being a Healer isnt for just anyone.

Upon arriving at the Miller mansion.

Luna Miller lay quietly in bed, the Miller family standing by her bedside, all showing looks of heartache.

The doctors had done their utmost to repair her, yet they still couldnt restore Luna to the level of a normal person.

I sent everyone away, took a photo of Luna from Leo, and then began the restoration process for Luna.

Throughout that entire month, Jason proudly shared Daisy Greniers recovery progress with me every day.

I told you Lilys medical skills are far superior to your so-called Restoration Art!

Look at my Daisy, shes about to recover to her original appearance.

If you admit defeat now, then strip naked and stand in front of Grenier Industries with a sign shouting youre a whore and a fraud, I can pretend this bet never happened.

I scoffed. Jason hadnt even noticed that Daisy Greniers hands and feet had turned into fleshy lumps, with no trace of finger bones, and even her face had only temporarily rejuvenated.

It seemed I had overestimated Lily Bells ability to restore Daisy Greniers appearance to thirty percent.
