Chapter 350
Hearing this, Cherise completely understood. Her grandma was both Amelia and Megan, and because her face had been continuously rotting due to the cursed worms controlling her body. In a desperate situation, Carson had to give her a completely different face.
“Then what about her memories? Cherise asked.
“Her face is too close to her brain, and some nerves were probably damaged. After waking up, she completely forgot everything from before.
“But honestly, I think losing her memory is a good thing. As for those two cursed worms… Hehl Carson said, glancing down at his legs, which had already vanished.
Cherise widened her eyes in shock. They moved to your legs? Why? Back then, she was just a stranger to you. Why would you make such a great sacrifice for her?”
Carson chuckled. At first, I just found the cursed worms fascinating when I encountered them for the first time. I wanted to destroy them, but also to study them. Youth makes you bold.
“A certain tribe in Clusia, known for raising cursed worms, has a book stating there are only two ways to eliminate cursed
Worms.
“One is to use serum to lure the worms into another person’s body, and the other is to directly cut off the part where the worm was implanted.
“I am a doctor, and the person lying in bed was a pregnant woman. I couldn’t bring myself to just cut off her arm. Cherise interrupted, “So you transferred the cursed worms to your own body?”
Carson nodded heavily. “Yes, and her natal chart and fate. When we brought her back to Saphira, I had it all changed.
“At first, I only intended to make a temporary change to prevent anyone from using astrology or other dark arts to track us to Saphira. If that happened, it would be disastrous. I had worked so hard to find that place.
“Later, well, one thing led to another, and it ended up being changed for so many years.”
Cherise suddenly choked up, tears welling in her eyes. “I will never forget your kindness, Mr. Garcia.”
Carson waved his hand and continued, “I suppose fate brought your grandma and me together. After the cursed worms. moved, the rotting of her face naturally stopped spreading.
“Before she woke up, I used various cosmetic surgery techniques I had learned abroad to replace all the rotting parts of her face. I was afraid that if she woke up and saw her face was ruined she’d be devastated.
“But by the tenth day, when she woke up, she seemed to have forgotten everything except the photo she held in her hand. She asked me what her name was, and I told her I didn’t know.
“Actually, I did know. Before she passed out in the car, she had ted me her name was Megan Lanley. Then she asked me what my name was, and I said, “My name is Carson Garcia: Sheid. Then I’ll be Amelia Garcia.
“She was cheerful and looked great after the surgery. She never asked about her past. She was quite thin, and in less than five months, she went into labor. It was the first time in my life that felt completely at a loss.
“It was a typhoon night with thunder and heavy rain, and I didnt know where to find a midwife. I had no choice, so I called my obstetrician friend in Fresburg and followed her instruction to help with the delivery.
“Luckily, it went smoothly, and the baby didn’t cause much trouble. In less than three hours, a beautiful baby girl was born.

She was named Claire, and she’s your mother.”

Cherise took a deep breath after hearing this and sat on the bend. “So, why did you disappear from Saphira after that?”
Carson chuckled softly. “When your mom was not even two years old, the cursed worms that had moved to my legs started showing signs of relapse.”
“Especially during the late nights, the pain became unbearable. At first, it was every six months, then every two months, once a month, and later, it became every other day, then daily.
To be honest, I had already fallen in love with your grandma athat time. She was truly a wonderful woman–innocent, carefree, and optimistic.
“Unfortunately. I knew she didn’t feel the same way, and until I found a cure, I couldn’t express my feelings to her. I didn’t want to drag her down with me.
“At that time, several villages near Saphira jointly set up a school and were recruiting teachers. I applied for the job and told your grandma that I would be staying in the dormitory.
“Naturally, I gave the house to your grandma. It’s the land you live on now, which you later renovated beautifully, like a piece of art.
“After I went to the school, your grandma also applied for a job there, and we became colleagues. I knew my health was failing. Although our relationship appeared unchanged on the surface, I was always avoiding her.
“I was afraid she’d feel lonely or overwhelmed by work, so I anonymously arranged for two trustworthy teenagers from the orphanage I supported to follow her. The boy was named Dennis, and the girl was Bella,” he said, looking at Cherise.
Cherise’s heart felt heavy. “So those two are Uncle Dennis and Aunt Bella. You did it anonymously. No wonder when I asked
Aunt Bella, she had no idea who Mr. Garcia was.”
Carson looked up at the painting on the wall. “I had no choice. I had no idea what would happen to those cursed worms inside me.
“Or whether they would return to Amelia. During that time, I searched through every ancient book I could find, but there was no new solution.
“As my toe started to show signs of decay, I began to avoid Amelia, afraid she would despise me.
“I started to feel inferior, lying to her. I told her in front of the school building that I was going to live in another county, where I had people I loved and a better environment.
“That was the first time I saw her show a reluctant expression. It made me so happy.
“But soon after, she smiled sweetly and said, ‘Mr. Garcia, you’re like family to me, like an older brother. We’ll stay in touch. okay?‘ I finally agreed.”
