Chapter 10 I hid my identity as a wealthy heiress from the Capital City Umbragard and married Robert Bain .
The day before our wedding , I unfortunately got into a car accident .
When I woke up , I was blind .
In the darkness , I overheard Robert talking to his assistant .
} Mr.
Bain , everything has been taken care of .
The driver responsible for the accident and the doctors none of them will say a word .

But … your fiancée loves painting more than anything .
After donating her corneas , shell never be able to see again .
What if she cant accept it when she wakes up ? { Shes strong .
Shes not like Lex .
Lex wouldnt survive without her sight .
And Adalyn has me .
Ill take care of her in this life and the next .
I love her , but I cant lose Lex .
} Robert paused for a moment before speaking with low and hoarse voice .
Oh , and have the doctor remove Adalyns uterus while theyre at it .
If Lex finds out I had a child with her , shell lose her mind .
The assistant hesitated .
But Mr.
Bain … isnt this too cruel ? Your fiancée has been with you since she was eighteen .
} Just do as I say .
Dont ask questions .
} A cold chill spread through my body , and I couldnt stop trembling .
The man I had loved unconditionally had already given his heart to the poor girl I once sponsored .
And for her , he had destroyed everything I had .
If thats the case … Id make those who hurt me pay .
*** Footsteps echoed through the hospital room .
I forced myself to stay calm , pretending to be unconscious .
Mr.
Bain , your fiancée just donated her corneas .
Her body is already weak .
If we remove her uterus now , she might not survive .
Its too risky I strongly suggest we wait a little longer .
I didnt hire you to give me advice .
This is an order , not a discussion .
And if anything happens to Adalyn , you know the consequences .
} The doctor hesitated before replying in a shaky voice , Understood , Mr.
Bain .
> I felt the warmth of Roberts fingers brush against my cheek .
His voice was low , hoarse , almost tender .
} Adalyn , itll all be over soon .
Dont worry , Ill always be here to protect you .
I love you , Ada .
A tremor ran through me .
Something wet slid down my cheek his tear or mine , I wasnt sure .
Then I heard him shift , as if standing up .
Sensing that I was about to wake , his tone turned cold .
Wheres the doctor ? Get everything ready .
The surgery needs to be done before she wakes up .
} Panic surged through me .
My eyes flew open , but all I saw was darkness .
Tears fell uncontrollably as I reached out , hands grasping at nothing .
Why … why cant I see ? } Adalyn , dont be scared .
Im here .
Ive always been here .
> Robert pulled me into his arms , holding me tightly .
His warm hand stroked my hair , his deep voice filled with what sounded like tenderness and concern .
You were in a car accident … The doctor said your blindness is only temporary .
Dont worry , Adalyn , Ill take good care of you .
He paused for a moment , then continued , his tone soothing .
} Be good .
Your body is still weak you shouldnt get too worked up .
Let the doctor give you a nutrient shot , okay ? If I hadnt woken up early and overheard his conversation with the doctor , I would have believed every word .
But now , I knew the so called nutrient shot was just a sedative to put me under .
>> I clung desperately to his arm , shaking my head frantically , my voice breaking .
No … Robert , please , I dont want it … Lets go home , can we ? Please , lets just go home … } Before I could finish , the cold sting of a needle pierced my skin .
As my consciousness faded , the last thing I heard was Roberts usual gentle voice .
