    Baron’s words made Natalie freeze. She quickly nced at his cuff and realized it was the pair of cufflinks she had once designed for him.


    “You got them back?”


    “Of course. You designed them for me–why should they ever be on anyone else? But you promised me, you’d make another set for me someday.”


    Natalie wanted to, but when she thought of her crippled fingers, her expression dimmed. “That might not be possible anymore. My hand is ruined.”


    “Who said so? The Witch Doctor already operated on your hand. Haven’t you noticed? Your right hand is in a cast. Give it time to heal–it won’t stop you from holding a pen again. And even if it came to that, you could still use your left hand. The Natalie I know isn’t someone who gives up so easily.”


    His voice was gentle, his eyes steady. The warmth in them made her want to cry.


    She quickly turned away, only then realizing Yvonne wasn’t in the room.


    “Where’s Yvonne?”


    “She went out to take care of something. She’ll be back soon.”


    Baron longed to pull Natalie into his arms, but he couldn’t. He didn’t dare.


    Natalie’s fragile state tugged at his heart. But it wouldn’t be long now. Soon she could live like anyone else again.


    Thinking of Yvonne’s skin test results, Baron finally told her.


    Natalie hadn’t expected Yvonne’s skin to match her own so well. Surprise flickered across her face, but unease quickly followed.


    “Will Yvonne agree? And what if such a major surgery leaves her with side effects? She doesn’t even have a boyfriend yet, she’s still so young, she-


    “Natalie. Calm down.”


    Baron’s voice carried a power that steadied her heart instantly. She looked up at him, wide- eyed.

    He smiled faintly. “If Yvonne hadn’t agreed, I’d never force her. Since she’s willing to donate, I’ve already taken her in as my sister. From now on, I’ll guarantee her a life of honor and smooth roads ahead. As Baron’s sister, when she chooses a man to marry, I’ll make sure she finds happiness. These aren’t things you need to worry about. What you should know is something else.”


    Natalie’s curiosity stirred. “What is it?”


    “Scientifically, such a match only appears between close blood rtives. It’s not impossible for strangers, but the probability is extremely low. That’s why I took both your blood samples for a DNA test. The results will be out the day after tomorrow.”


    Natalie suddenly understood. “You think Yvonne and I might be directly rted?”


    “It’s possible. Especially since she did look a little like you… before.”


    Natalie frowned slightly. “Before? What do you mean?”


    Seeing her interest, Baron’s eyes softened. Ever since the fire, she had so rarely shown curiosity about anything. She put on a brave front, but he knew she avoided mirrors, avoided anything that might show her scars.


    The shining, radiant designer Sunny had perished in that ze.


    Baron knew how hard it was for a woman, once so beautiful, to face such a cruel change. That was why he had never forced her into anything these past weeks. If she wanted to rest, she rested. If she wantedpany, she had it.


    At first, he’d feared she wouldn’t even want to see the children. But he had been wrong. Natalie’s longing for them was real, her tolerance genuine. Though she feared frightening them with her face<i>, </i>she didn’t retreat. Her eyes carried light again.


    That was why he had brought Yvonne to her. Yvonne was cheerful, lively, positive—just the kind of presence Natalie needed to help her step out of the shadows,


    What he hadn’t expected was for Yvonne’s skin to match hers perfectly.


    Seeing Natalie’s interest now, he felt a trace of relief.


    “Yvonne didn’t always look like this,” he said quietly, his gaze distant. “She and Phantom were orphans, raised in the same orphanage. Phantom was three years older and always cared for her like a sister. When Shauna took Phantom away, she made sure to bring Yvonne out too. From then on, the two called each other sisters. Later, Phantom’s face was exposed during a mission, and enemies came after her. Yvonne got dragged into it. On her way to school, someone staged a car crash. She nearly died. Though she survived, her face was shredded by
