"Do we know each other?"

Seeing her lack of recognition, the doctor adopted a slightly hurt expression and said, “You don't remember me?"

He then introduced himself, "I'm Harland Garcia."

Suddenly, it clicked for Camila. His home used to be opposite hers when they were kids.

He had changed tremendously.

"Didn't your family move abroad?"

"I returned this year. My family is still overseas," Harland responded.

"Jeff mentioned you're his friend and asked me to give you special attention. I didn't anticipate it would be you! I'm curious about how you know Jeff."

The world truly was small. Camila hadn't expected to run into a childhood acquaintance here.

“We previously worked together at Madeline Research Center."

Harland expressed his surprise.

"You were employed at Madeline Research Center? At such a young age? That's impressive! Jeff only secured his position there due to his girlfriend."

"It was sheer luck," she modestly responded.

"You're already very attractive. Why the need for plastic surgery?"

Harland asked in a light-hearted tone.

Camila then removed the scarf hiding her face.

Her scar was revealed to him.

He inquired in surprise, "How did you sustain this injury?"

Instead of answering his question, she asked, “Is it possible to erase this scar surgically? How long would complete recovery take?"

Harland examined her scar that stretched from her neck to her cheek.
