Baron's words made Natalie freeze. She quickly glanced 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 forsomeday.”
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 tto heal-it won't stop you from holding a pen again. And even if it cto that, you could still
use your left hand. The Natalie | 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 relatives. It’s not impossible for strangers, but
the probability is extremely low. That's why | 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 | might be directly related?”
“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 blaze.
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 wanted company, 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, 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 sorphanage. 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 cafter 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
