Chapter 493: Whose Attention Are You After?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lu Zhaoyang had the illusion that she would see the rising sun as soon as she woke up and opened her eyes.
But in reality, it was not.
Huo Yunting had been looking after her for several days. She had been cooperative when it came to examination from the doctor and transfusion.
The only thing that had changed was that she was eating less and less, and becoming more and more quiet.
Today, Lu Zhaoyang sat on the edge of the bed as the doctor slowly removed the bandage around her eyes.
She pressed her lips quietly and clasped her hospital gown with her hands. Apparently, she was nervous.
Huo Yunting stood close by, observing her. Knowing that even if the doctor removed the gauze, she could still not see. But when he saw her trembling lips, he knew that she was still hopeful.
He did not say it out as he could not bear to burst her hope bubble.
He leaned over; she held on to his wrist tightly.
Lu Zhaoyang tensed up. She really wanted to see a glimmer of light, even if it was just a little bit.
When the doctor took down all the gauze and cleaned up the medication residue, Lu Zhaoyang’s long eyelashes flicked, her eyeb.a.l.l.s moved a few times before she slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyes lacked focus; dark pupils were dilated. She rolled her eyes left and right, trying to see something.
But her strength seemed to dissipate in an instant and let go of Huo Yun’s hand.
“I knew it; I still cannot see.”
Seeing her emotions, the doctor left after completing the necessary examination, leaving Huo Yunting and her in the ward.
Lu Zhaoyang lost her strength and her body suddenly fell. Huo Yunting quickly grabbed her waist in time before she dropped off the bed.
“What are you doing, Lu Zhaoyang? Whose attention are you after? Have you forgotten what you said yesterday?”
“But I really cannot see anymore,” she said in a whisper as if muttering to herself. “I cannot even see you anymore.”
“Do you really want to see me?”
The way she treated him and his mother just showed how much she hated him. Now, she wanted to see him?
“I want to. I really want to see!” She grabbed Huo Yunting and buried her head in his arms.
“You will see someday as long as you want it.”
How Huo Yunting wished he could shout ‘Lu Zhaoyang, you deserve it,’ but his instinct prevented him from doing so.
He involuntarily patted her on her back. Feeling her sobbing, his heart went to pieces.
There were only her silent sobs in the quiet room. Her tears wet his s.h.i.+rt.
After much crying, Lu Zhaoyang finally fell asleep from exhaustion.
It was not until the afternoon that she woke up.
“It is lunchtime.” Seeing her waking up, Huo Yunting took over the thermal flask and sat down at bedside.
“Can you take me outside? I need some sunlight.” She turned her eyes at the window, but all she saw was darkness.
Huo Yunting looked in the direction of where she looked; the warm suns.h.i.+ne shone into the ward and on her face.
Her beautiful eyes could no longer see the rising sun.
“I will take you out after lunch.”
“All right.”
She longed to go out and take a stroll outside after spending too long in the ward.
Seeing that she had only eaten so little, Huo Yunting had wanted to smash the bowl to the floor.
“Do you not like the food?” He put down the tableware, leaned over, and helped her put on her shoes.
“No, it is just because of my problem; I have not much appet.i.te. Give me some time.”
No woman could ever dream of having the personal care and attendance of Huo Yunting. But she did it. Should she not celebrate it already?
