Chapter 269 - 272: Willing to Pay Any Price for Beauty
As Lily Gray was held and cared for by Aidan Lucas, Vivian Walters, on the other hand, was furious in the hospital.
“Miss Walters, you just had photorejuvenation and a whitening injection… Your skin is under a lot of strain and more fragile, which is why your face swelled and deformed more easily than ordinary people after being hit.”
Vivian Walters’ regular private hospital had her Chief Physician called from his home.
She was a VIP guest of this private hospital, often coming for cosmetic treatments.
After losing face outside the police station, Vivian was finally taken away by her agent who rushed to the scene.
Once out of danger, she didn’t have time to deal with the media coverage or Austin Lucas, and went straight to this private hospital with her agent.
“Don’t talk nonsense to me… I want a way to reduce the swelling right now!” Vivian Walters covered her face, unable to accept her swollen and disfigured appearance.
Now she finally understood the look in the eyes of Austin Lucas and the reporters when they saw her.
Even she herself had been frightened when she looked in the mirror just moments earlier.
How could her usually pure and innocent face become like this?
Under no circumstances could she accept this version of herself!
“Miss Walters, given your current situation, it’s best not to undergo excessive treatments. After all, you’re pregnant, and it’s not good for the child… You might as well let it heal naturally. In about a week, the swelling should subside.”
“Impossible!” Vivian Walters interrupted the doctor without any hesitation.
With this swollen face, she’d rather die than endure it for a week!
Not to mention how the Lucas family would see her, with the press conference against the Gray family scheduled the day after tomorrow, she wouldn’t be able to show her face.
What was the point of all this effort then!?
She must prove that she is better than Lily Gray in every way!
“I’m telling you, my face is the problem, not my stomach. What does treating my face have to do with my stomach? 1 don’t care what method you use, you must restore my face to normal!”
With no other choice, the Chief Physician reluctantly prescribed her medication for allergies and added a tranquilizer, despite his conscience.
By dawn the next day, Vivian Walters had quietly left the hospital.
Her face had returned to its original fair and smooth state.

“Vivian, the internet is full of rumors about you. I’ve sent people to manipulate the rankings, but some people are talking about your plastic surgery failure, and others are saying you destroyed your face with drugs. Those topics are still being brought up,” said her agent as he showed her cell phone.
It was just starting to get light out, and many netizens had been asleep during the early morning hours when the pictures of Vivian from the night before were released, missing the firsthand information.
Once it was daylight, the online frenzy would definitely be even more explosive than last night.
Vivian’s agent was skilled, having already bought off Twitter rankings and secretly paid various media companies to suppress the rumors somewhat.
But this alone would still do nothing in the end.
They had to quash this scandal with a positive image before it spiraled out of control.
Hearing her agent’s words, Vivian gritted her teeth and said, “Move up the press conference against the Gray family to this afternoon. I’ll be there in person, and once they see my face, the rumors will fall apart.”
Vivian lifted her chin, looking very confident. “You take care of this — you know who to contact and what preparations to make, right? I don’t need to teach you?”
The agent nodded, indicating that he understood.
After thinking for a moment, Vivian added, “Good… Now, take me to the Lucas family’s house..”
