My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 122

"Mrs. Sullivan, as of now, yours is the only negative feedback we've received. Our brand has been operating for twenty years without a single issue like this. Why don't we head to the hospital for a professional evaluation first?" the woman suggested, her face pale with panic.

Standing off to the side, Sienna offered cautiously, "Mrs. Sullivan, should we go to the hospital to get you checked out? Your face is the priority right now, we can figure out the compensation later..."

Victoria shot her a withering glare but ultimately said nothing more.

...

At the hospital.

The head of dermatology personally attended to them. After examining the damage, his brow furrowed deeply.

"Mrs. Sullivan, the skincare product you've been using tested positive for dangerously high concentrations of glucocorticoids and heavy metals. Short-term use makes the skin look radiant, but a few days later, it triggers a severe rebound reaction, which is exactly what you're experiencing now."

"It's possible your skin is just exceptionally sensitive, which is why the reaction happened so quickly. Long-term use would have caused irreversible skin damage."

The doctor's diagnosis was terrifying.

Victoria's hands began to tremble.

"Can it be fixed?"

"It is treatable, but it's going to be a long process—at least three to six months. During this time, you must strictly avoid sun exposure, stick to a specific diet, and absolutely no makeup..."

Victoria closed her eyes.

Three to six months.

That meant she couldn't show her face in public for half a year.

She would have to miss out on all her high-society gatherings and social events.

More importantly, as the matriarch of the prominent Sullivan family, what kind of vicious rumors would spread if she vanished from the public eye for six months?

Victoria couldn't even bear to think about it.

Internally, she was having a complete breakdown.

Sienna stood beside her, weeping uncontrollably. "Mrs. Sullivan, this is all my fault, I never should have given you something I wasn't completely sure about... I really didn't know this would happen..."

He hadn't seen her for just a few days, and her face had been completely destroyed.

Victoria turned her head away, unable to bear her son seeing her in such a repulsive state.

Her flawlessly maintained face had been her greatest source of pride her entire life.

How was she ever supposed to face anyone looking like a monster?

"Sebastian..." Sienna murmured, her eyes red and her voice trembling with fear. "It's all my fault. I did this to her..."

Sebastian whipped his head toward her, his brow pulled tight with fury.

"What the hell does that mean?"

Sienna sobbed, "I... I gave Mrs. Sullivan a customized skincare set I had a friend bring in from France. But there was something wrong with it... it was laced with hormones and heavy metals... She only used it for two days, and her face turned out like this..."

"Sebastian, I swear I didn't know this would happen. If I had known, I never would have given it to her! You know how much I care about her..."

Sebastian's expression darkened to a terrifying degree.
