The VIP ward was covered in a depressive mood.
In spite of her disappointment, Becky pretended to smile and talked as if she did not care about the
results.
She said, "Bri, it doesn't matter. The result is within my expectation. Felix tried so many times. Even if
we do manage to get retinas that match me, there might still be adverse reactions."
Becky blinked slowly, compressed her lips and said indifferently, "If it turns out that I can never see the
world again, then that would be my fate. I have to accept it without any qualms."
Brian tried to act as if the results hadn't affected him much either and said calmly, "Elias said that there
is still a chance."
Becky shook her head with a bitter smile. She neither contradicted him nor showed her expectations.
Instead, she took a deep breath, smiled lightly and asked, "Bri, where is Wing?"
"She went to see Eric," answered Brian. He made up the lie without thinking twice. He did not know
why, but he wanted to prevent Becky from knowing too much about Molly.
"I haven't seen Eric around..." Becky realized at that moment that except for the unexpected meeting at
the restaurant last time, Eric had not come over to see her at all, which was really weird. In the past, if
Eric had been informed that she had been ill, he would have come to see her, no matter how far away
he had been. However, this time he was in A City, but he hadn't come to visit. Could it be because of
Molly?
"He has recently been busy dealing with the construction of the Smile Hotel in A City," Brian found an
excuse at random to prevaricate.
Becky's heart became heavier when she felt that Brian was somewhat absent-minded, but she did not
show any indication of that on her face. She stretched out one of her hands and tried to grasp Brian's
hand by feeling for it. He knew what she wanted to do and proactively grasped her hand. With her hand
inside Brian's, Becky asked, "Bri, if... if I end up being blind for life, will you...will you leave me?"
Brian looked at Becky, who was trying so hard to conceal her uneasiness and helplessness. With his
finger pulps stroking her extremely soft hand gently, Brian said, "I will make sure you get your sight
back if there is the slightest chance of making that happen."
Brian pulled Becky into his arms and said in a whisper, "Don't let your imagination run wild every day,
okay?"
Becky quietly leaned against Brian's chest. But as she lay against the chest which she was so familiar
with, she did not feel any desire from him towards her. She gritted her teeth secretly, compressed her
lips and nodded slightly. She said in between sobs, "As long as you are by my side, I...I am willing to
accept my fate of being blind forever."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Brian's voice turned dull.
Becky did not say anything more. She just quietly leaned against his chest. She knew that she
shouldn't get too emotional. He would not pay attention to her unless she was able to make him feel
pity for her. She was confident that she would be able to seize him back as long as he paid attention to
her.
It was very quiet in the ward, with no other sound except the sound of their breaths. Neither of them
spoke. They just silently held each other in their arms, but their minds were elsewhere.
Suddenly, Brian's mobile phone rang. He took it out and his face turned dark when he saw Wing's
name on the screen. He picked up the call, but did not say a word.
"Bri, I have made a reservation at M-blue Restaurant. You should bring Becky here to join us!" Wing's
clear and sweet voice came through the phone, "I have already called Eric. He will be driven here by
Lenny soon."
"What about her?" Brian asked in a low voice as he released Becky.
Taking a quick look at Molly, who was quietly sitting by her side, Wing asked with a shine in her crystal
eyes, "Who?"
Brian squinted and then said in a low and cold voice, "Molly Xia!"
Becky's expression changed when she heard Molly's name. She opened her mouth slightly and then
gradually closed it, only leaving complex emotions between her eyebrows, which was too difficult to
hide.
Brian did not notice the change in Becky's behavior. He heard Wing sigh on the other end and she
said, "Molly said she wanted to be alone for a while. So she left."
"Really?" A faint smile appeared on the corner of his thin lips, but his smile was filled with a strange
coldness.
Wing silently grinned and mumbled, "Well, hurry up! I'm starving!"
Wing hung up, without bothering to wait for Brian's reply. Then she looked at Molly, who was staring at
her in confusion. Wing shrugged and said, "Brian is bad-tempered, but it's fun to play tricks on him
sometimes."
Molly smiled and said weakly, "The way you and Aunt Shirley get along with him is so special."
Wing shrugged and said proudly, "Of course! Shirley and I are on the same side."
Sensing the intimacy Wing had with Shirley, Molly felt a little envious. She and her mother had never
gotten along with each other in such a relaxed way. That was just her fate.

In Sunset Town
In the early morning hours, Steven realized that the people who had been keeping watch outside the
farm had disappeared. At first, he did not move. But when it was almost noon, he made sure that
nobody was keeping watch. He alerted Sharon and left the farm silently.
Seeing Steven leave, Daniel quietly followed. Daniel tailed Steven from a distance. Steven was picked
up by a car just as he stepped out of Sunset Town. Since Daniel was quite a distance away from him,
he only saw him get into the car, so he was not sure if Steven had gotten into the car willingly or under
threat.
'Where is papa going?' Daniel lowered his head and mumbled to himself. There was no way that he
could follow him any longer. Besides, he was worried about Sharon who was alone at the farm, though
she was well looked after. Daniel turned around and started to walk back.
He walked fast with his head low until he ran into someone in front of him. Daniel raised his head and
saw a man in a full black suit in front of him. He had on a pair of black sunglasses which covered
almost half of his face. Daniel became anxious when the man didn't move out of his way.
He looked around carefully and tried to take a detour around the man. But when he moved, the man
also moved, blocking his path again. Daniel started to panic. He stuttered, "You...you... you are in my
way."
