Chapter 144: Simone's Choice
After filming, Talia and Simone went to have a seafood dinner, because Los Angeles is also a coastal city, and lobster, sea urchin, and Dungeness crab are all a must.
Talia told her cousin about her scarring surgery, and Simone was so excited to hear that she wanted to fly to San Francisco right away.
It's just that the drama they filmed hasn't ended yet, and there is no holiday for the time being.
"It should be almost over, don't worry!" Talia said.
"Uh-huh." Simone nodded, and then said, "I have a classmate who lives with me, you met before, Renee Banks." ”
"She also has a scar on her body, and she said before that she would find a place to do it, and when I go back, I will ask her if she wants to be with her. If we form a group, will that Dr. Zhou Qiao give us a cheaper price? ”
Talia stroked her flowing hair and said, "I don't know about this. After all, I didn't know that Dr. Zhou very well. Well, I'll call my cousin again and ask her how much she spent before? ”
She called about an hour ago, but my cousin didn't answer.
Now that Simone seems to have made up her mind, I want to help her inquire again.
This time, Adriana answered: "Little cousin, what's the matter?" ”
Talia smiled slightly and said, "I want to ask how much you spent on the last scar removal?" ”
"What? Do you have a scar? ”
"Not really. My girlfriend has. There are about two slightly larger ones on her, one five centimeters and one three centimeters, and one small one, probably about a centimeter. ”
Adriana pondered for a moment and replied, "I can't say the specific price, after all, last time Dr. Zhou gave me a discount on a friend's face." But I estimate that fifty or sixty thousand is definitely for it! And most of the expenses can't go through health insurance. ”
"Well, thank you, cousin!" Talia smiled sweetly.
Her skin is fair, her blue-green eyes are clear like jewels, and she exudes a heart-warming aura, and her smile is quite charming.
"Miss you, little baby!" Adriana kissed over the phone.
"I miss you too, goodbye, cousin!"
After hanging up the phone, Talia said to Simone: "My cousin estimates that it will cost about fifty or sixty thousand dollars, and most of the expenses need to be paid for by yourself, well, just for reference!" ”
"Fifty or sixty thousand~, that's a lot!" Simone's face suddenly showed regret, but the love of beauty overcame the shame, and finally plucked up the courage to say, "I don't have that much money, it seems that I have to borrow it from you, Talia!" ”
I joked before that I wanted to borrow money, but if I really wanted to borrow, I was a little worried that Talia would refuse. After all, this is not a small amount.
Talia casually asked, "How much money do you still lack?" ”
Simone said, "I only have a little more than 30,000 dollars, if 50,000, there is still a difference of 20,000, if it is more, then ......."
"It's okay, wrap it up on me." Talia smiled sweetly and said very boldly.
Who made Simone a good friend with her? The two have known each other since junior high school!
"Talia, thank you!" Simone said very sincerely. It's really hard to find someone to borrow money these days!
"Don't be so polite with me. When this time is over, I will accompany you immediately! Well, I have the contact information over there, so I can make an appointment first. But the surgery was very fast, and last time my cousin had so many scars, thirty-four, and it took more than an hour to get it! ”
"What the hell does your cousin do? So many injuries? Simone was curious.
"Well, I don't know. My cousin told me to ask less. Talia said lightly. She vaguely guessed her cousin's profession, but she has always admired her cousin, and felt that she was a heroine among women!
"Okay!" Simone took a sip of orange juice and a look of longing flashed in her eyes!
I'm finally going to have a scar removal, so happy!
It would be nice if it could be almost completely unrecognizable, as Talia said!
It always feels like a bit exaggerated, but with Taria's character and our relationship, she shouldn't lie to me! Even if it doesn't work so well, it's definitely not bad!
After the seafood dinner, the two parted ways, because Talia was relatively wealthy and now lived in a large mansion in Los Angeles. Simone, on the other hand, shares an apartment with her roommates.
Talia also invited Simone to come and live with her, but Simone declined.
Although Simone is usually giggling and grinning, she actually has a bit of self-esteem, if she didn't really want to do scar removal this time, she wouldn't have opened this mouth to borrow money from Talia!
When Simone returned, she told her roommate, Renee Banks.
said that it was introduced by Talia, and there is a Chinese doctor in San Francisco who is very good at scar removal, about 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, but basically at his own expense.
Renee is also excited, she is also paying attention to similar news these days, and heard from some friends that in Los Angeles, there is a clinic opened by Koreans, which is quite famous for plastic surgery, and scar removal is also one of their main services.
Renee shared her news, and then said, "Simone, why don't you go with me to that Korean clinic and travel as far as San Francisco?" Don't you know that the plastic surgery technology of the Chinese is far inferior to that of South Korea? ”
"Uh, how much does that Korean clinic offer? Have you ever asked? Simone asked.
Renee Banks said, "I haven't been." But I asked someone to inquire, and if I had a long scar like mine, it would cost me $30,000! ”
"A scar costs 30,000? Then I can't get 80,000, 90,000, or even 100,000? Simone gasped and hurriedly said, "I'd better go to San Francisco!" It's cheaper over there! ”
In fact, Simone is not completely greedy, but she chooses to trust Taria. Besides, I have to borrow money from Taria.
If you don't go to the one that Talia recommends, and go to another one, Talia might get angry. Borrow money from her again...... Well, there is a high probability that she will still borrow it, but Simone herself thinks that it is not very kind!
That's not how to be human!
"I suggest you go with me to San Francisco, the technology should be better there. Talia won't lie to me! Simone genuinely invited, "And it's cheap over there." ”
Renee Banks pursed her lips and said, "Simone, there is a very simple truth, what kind of price, what kind of service you can enjoy, if you don't go to that Korean clinic, then I will go alone." Moreover, that Korean clinic may still be able to take medical insurance? ”
"Okay." Since the talk is not pleasant, then forget it.
Simone sensed that the conversation was a little unpleasant, so she glanced at Renee and went back to her room.
Renee Banks pursed her lips, snorted softly, and muttered in a low voice, "If you don't listen to my advice, you will regret it!" To do medical beauty, I don't choose a Korean clinic, nor do I go to a local American clinic, but I actually go to a Chinese clinic to do it? Are you kidding me? ”
The next day, Renee Banks went to the Korean clinic, she only had one scar, and after the Korean doctor assessed that it would cost $36,000, but she could go through medical insurance, and the out-of-pocket part was about $7,500 depending on her insurance coverage.
The Korean doctor was very considerate, helped her type out the treatment plan, and asked her to take it to consult the insurance company if it could accept it. If the insurance company approves and there is no objection, then he can arrange scar removal surgery at any time.
Renee thought it was very good, and when she went back, she couldn't help but tell Simone, saying that the Korean clinic only needs more than 7,000 US dollars at her own expense, and if you go there, you don't need to borrow money.
Simone thought about it and chose the Iris Clinic.
Because Talia has already called to help her make an appointment! And with Taria's "character guarantee", she has more trust in the Iris Clinic!
Essentially, it's because Talia has a lot more status and credibility in her mind than Renee Banks!
