“Yes. I have confidence in the current medical knowledge and technology!” said Winnie while grasping Josiah’s hand.

“Yes. I have confidence in the current medical knowledge and technology!” said Winnie while grasping Josiah’s hand.As she said that, she was reassuring herself as well as Josiah.Then she let go of Xavier’s and Josiah’s hands. “All right. I’m going in for the examination now. Go get busy.”While Winnie was getting examined, Xavier asked Josiah, “Is what you said true? Or are you only saying that to comfort her?”Frowning, Josiah said, “It’s true! It’s just that I had just been dumped back then and lost interest in everything. That’s why I didn’t go deeper into the area of artificial eyes. If my classmates have been researching it, there should at least be some progress. It’s been several years since they started.”A sense of hope rose within Xavier. “That’s great. Hurry up and contact this classmate of yours, then. I’ll pay it no matter what the price is.”“I know. I will. Winnie’s my friend, too. I’ll do everything I can to get in touch with my classmate, but”—Josiah hesitated momentarily—“we’ve basically lost contact with this classmate. It’s going to take some effort to find him.”“It’s fine. We have time. It doesn’t matter as long as you can find him.” To Xavier, it did not matter if it took several years as long as Winnie did not have to be blind for the rest of her life.At that point, Josiah had calmed down. “Okay, but the situation might not be ideal. The subject of making artificial eyes is quite popular. If they actually created one, there should have been some kind of news about it. Even the Alpha radioactive gas caught the attention of the terrorists. The topic of artificial eyes should attract even more attention. It shouldn’t be this quiet.”Xavier responded firmly, “I understand what you mean. Even if there are no artificial eyes created, we’ll make one on our own. So, go ahead and call that old classmate of yours. Whether he made no progress or was forced to stop for some reason, we can take over and continue with the research. It doesn’t matter if it takes ten, twenty, or even thirty years. I’m willing to pay for all of it even if I go bankrupt.”Josiah’s lips curled to form a bitter smile. “It shouldn’t cause you to go bankrupt, but that sentence gave me confidence.”Xavier patted Josiah’s shoulder and prompted, “Hurry up and

call him.”“Okay.” Josiah cast the examination room one last glance before turning around to leave.The examination results were not promising, but Winnie had already expected that.Xavier, too, had slowly learned to accept the truth.After all, he was determined not to make Winnie’s blindness a permanent condition. I’ll definitely find a way to make her see again. That day will come. I’m sure of it!After leaving the hospital, Winnie returned to the quarantine room.Before the surgery, Winnie had only believed the success rate was fifty-fifty despite Xavier and the others telling her how high it was.She had known she could either stay blind or recover, and each possibility had a fifty percent chance.Thus, she did not tell the Speiser family about it, not until she had a clear answer.After all, there was a possibility of her seeing again after the surgery.Now that the surgery had failed, she needed to let the family know about it.Besides, she needed to seek the Speiser family’s help.The moment she entered the quarantine room, she grabbed her phone and called Wilhelm to tell him everything. Wilhelm stated he would fly over immediately to see her upon learning about her situation.Meanwhile, Xavier waited patiently for her to end the call before saying to her, “I just received news that Lisanne and her colleagues have ended their quarantine. Winnie, we can go home soon.”“That’s great. Get the medical staff to do the final test on me. I’m tired of the smell and silence here. I want to go home. Let’s go to Lagune Mansion when we get out. That place is huge and filled with birds chirping,” Winnie responded with her eyes closed.“Sure. I’ll go wherever you want to go.”“Can you accompany me to visit Granny? I want to hear her voice.”“Okay. I’ll do everything you say.”“Really? You’ll do everything I say?”“Of course. Since when do I not do what you say? You’re the one who doesn’t listen to me, but there’s nothing I can do about it.”“All right. I’ll listen to you. Don’t be sad and don’t go crying secretly.”“I won’t. A grown man like me has nothing to cry about. Besides, you’ll only laugh at me if I do.”“I can’t see now.”“But you’ve got a good sense of hearing.”“You’re right. I’m incredible.”“You arrogant little rascal. Feeling good about yourself, eh?”The two exchanged friendly banter. It put Winnie in good spirits because she could feel Xavier was slowly opening up and not as cautious with his words as before.After some time, Lisanne, who had been released from isolation, walked in hastily. “Winnie, how did it go? Was the surgery a success?”Nonetheless, she knew what the answer was before Winnie could even answer. Lisanne could tell the surgery had failed.Her expression turned grim, and she fell silent for a few seconds before

saying, “We’ve ended our quarantine. Yours should be ending soon.”“Mm. Xavier told me about it,” said Winnie while extending her hand to Lisanne.It was an action she used often ever since she lost her vision.Lisanne quickly stepped forward and took Winnie’s hand.Before she could speak, Winnie’s voice rang out.“You don’t have to rack your brain to comfort me. I’m fine apart from being blind temporarily,” said Winnie.“All right. I won’t say anything, then.” Lisanne, too, felt awful, for she kept feeling that she could one day end up like Winnie. Taking a deep breath, she said, “It’s very important that we have an optimistic attitude. I’m going to Rodunst to look for that scientist after this.”Winnie nodded. “Hopefully, there’ll be good news.”After all, the red markings on their bodies were not gone. No one knew if their condition would worsen in the future. Moreover, the two children, who were affected and started having nosebleeds, needed help.Not long after they bade each other farewell, Winnie was released from isolation.Winnie and Xavier could finally go home.Their car was parked directly in front of Lagune Mansion entrance.Winnie wanted to get out of the car on her own, but Xavier insisted on going down first to open the door for her.He even wanted to carry her inside but was refused by Winnie.In the end, they walked in hand in hand.There were two housekeepers standing at the door of the secondary villa.The prettier one was a new housekeeper.Her eyes were filled with admiration as she gazed at the couple at the main mansion entrance.However, the emotion in her eyes began to change, and she asked the other housekeeper beside her, “Is Mrs. Fairchild really blind? How are they still so affectionate with each other when she’s blind? Surely Mr. Fairchild will be disgusted and hate her as time passes?”
