Chapter 6

When she became awake again, a harsh incandescent lamp hung over her head.

Strong pain spread across her entire face, and only her eyes were still able to move around.

Caspian remained sitting near the bed. After seeing she was awake, he reached forward and stopped her from moving. “You already went through plastic surgery. Don’t move around.”

While still confused, Dahlia thought she might have heard the wrong thing.

Her trembling hands moved toward her face and felt several thick white bandages wrapped around it.

She slowly moved her eyes in pain and looked at Caspian with disbelief. “Why do I have to get plastic surgery?”

“Three days before, your mental illness became serious, and you struck Camilla with a flower vase, which ended up cutting her face. During the three days you spent inside the psychiatric hospital, I reached out to the leading cosmetic doctors around Utah because I wanted to restore Camilla’s face, but every result looked far from good.”

Caspian spoke in a rough voice, “Camilla became badly affected because of this and almost tried to kill herself. You and she look very similar, so your face was transferred to her.”

“Don’t be afraid. I picked a much better face for you. You will like it.”

Dahlia looked straight at him while her entire body shook. “I resemble my mother, not Camilla! Also, I am older than Camilla! If one person looks like another, then she is the one who looks like me!”

A small sign of guilt crossed Caspian’s face while he tried to calm her. “Wife, I know you went through pain after spending three days in the psychiatric hospital. Right after leaving that place, you came here again for facial surgery, so your heart feels terrible. But everything is already over.”

“In the future, if you stay obedient and stop causing trouble for me, you will still be Mrs. Holmes. I will make it up to you, too. Whatever you ask for…”

She laughed coldly and stopped him. “Caspian, do you think I care about that little money from you?! Who are you looking down on!”

When he saw her like this, Caspian felt his chest tighten and wanted to speak.

The nurse pushed open the door and came in with worry on her face. “President Holmes, Miss Silva already woke up. After not seeing you there, she kept shouting and tried to leave the bed to find you.”

Hearing those words, Caspian stood up right away.

He followed the nurse outside. As he reached the doorway, he turned back and looked at Dahlia again. “Wife, spend these next two days recovering properly in the hospital. I need to travel overseas for work. Once I come back, I’ll bring you a gift.”

After finishing his words, he closed the door and left in a hurry.

Dahlia stared at the firmly closed door and stayed quiet for a long while.

She picked up her phone and called her assistant. “Arrange a press conference for me in two days. I want him and Camilla to lose all their reputation overnight.”

Dahlia calmly remained in the hospital for two days.

On the day she left the hospital, the divorce lawyer called her that morning. “Miss Watson, your divorce certificate is ready.”

Dahlia ended the call. After walking out of the hospital, she went straight to the law firm.

When she came out of the law firm holding the warm divorce certificate, her phone suddenly shook.

She lowered her head and checked it. It was a text message from Caspian.

The attached photo shows the airport’s large floor-to-ceiling window and a beautiful jewelry box.

[I just arrived. This is the gift I promised to give you as compensation.]

[It’s the one you kept saying you wanted before. Wife, you will definitely love it.]

Dahlia smiled, lifted her hand, then directly deleted and blocked Caspian.

The assistant was already waiting outside the law firm entrance. When he saw her coming over, he opened the car door for her.

Dahlia got inside. “Drive. We’re going to the press conference venue.”
