Chapter 20 Ada , be good .
Just sleep , and everything will pass .
Im here youll be fine .
Tears slipped silently down my cheeks .
My body was numb from the anesthesia , but the pain in my heart wouldnt stop .
!! I closed my eyes in despair .
In the darkness , I thought I saw Robert at eighteen , sitting by my bedside , eyes red from crying .
He called me an idiot for taking the knife for him .
His young but determined voice echoed in my mind .
Adalyn , I swear , Ill never let anyone hurt you again .
} Yet , the person who hurt me the most , the one who nearly killed me , was him .
When I woke up again , I had lost my eyesight , lost the man I loved , and lost the chance to ever have children of my own .
The hospital room was quiet except for the sound of my weak breathing .
Not long after , I heard muffled voices arguing outside .
Adalyn was in a car accident I have to take care of her ! Shes always been so good to me .
If it werent for her , Id still be stuck in the slums .

I owe her my whole life , and Ill never stop repaying her ! Dont try to stop me ! } It was Lexi , Lexi Law , a poor student I had sponsored in the past .
Robert had never tolerated defiance from anyone , yet there wasnt even a trace of anger in his voice .
Lex , listen to me .
Your eyesight just recovered , and the doctor said you still need to rest .
You shouldnt be moving around too much .
Adalyn has someone to take care of her you dont need to worry .
}] My fingers tightened around the blanket .
Did Lexi go blind ? Why didnt I know about that ?! Suddenly , a sharp pain shot through the back of my hand as a needle was roughly jabbed into my skin .
Stop moving ! the nurse snapped , her tone full of irritation .
She pressed down harder , as if warning me to stay still .
What a joke .
Why do they get to take care of Mrs.
Bain and Ms.
Law , while Im stuck looking after a blind woman like you ? If Ms.
Law could just put in a good word for me with Mr.
Bain , I wouldnt have to waste my time with patients like you … Crash !! The sound of glass shattering cut her off .
Aah ! Who who dares … Mr.
Bain … why are you here … ? Her voice , once filled with resentment , trembled with fear .
Then , Roberts furious voice echoed through the hospital room , cold and menacing .
Get out .
Dont ever let me see you again .
@ A familiar warmth surrounded me .
His body was trembling slightly , and his voice was filled with guilt .
Adalyn , Im sorry .
I was too late … I let you suffer .
Im so sorry … A bitter smile tugged at my lips .
Compared to having my corneas and uterus taken from me , this was nothing .
But he seemed devastated , holding me so tightly I could hardly breathe .
I dont want to stay in the hospital .
I want to go home .
His warm breath brushed against my neck .
As soon as the doctor discharges you , Ill take you home .
} He didnt know the home I was talking about wasnt his mansion it was the McLeods Manor in Umbragard .
Years ago , when the McLeods was thrown into chaos , my father hid me away in Stormhavn .
Despite that , someone still managed to found out my whereabouts .
I was cornered in an alley when Robert appeared and took a knife for me .
That was the moment I truly understood what it meant to fall in love at first sight .
Later , we got into the same university , fell madly in love , and became inseparable .
Everyone envied us .
That was also when Lexi appeared .
} } I couldnt let myself just stay idle , seeing her survive on plain steamed buns every day .
I admired her talent .
So , I helped her .
