Chapter 11
“I’m sorry for barging in.”
Taking advantage of the moment when both people in the room were lost in thought, Abigail quietly placed a bank card at the foot of the bed, then turned and Irit
Without the boy’s commas, where could she find another suitable pair?
sirable pair? Or was it that
at her eyes could only remain like this?
As Abigail walked out of the ward, she felt disoriented. Her mind was consumed with thoughts on what to do next until she suddenly bumped into someone, and only then did she snap back to reality.
Looking up, she saw a familiar face. “Ryan, what are you…!
Ryan looked at her with deep concern. He lifted his hand as if wanting to stroke her head, but in the end, he restrained himself
“Why didn’t you tell me? His voice was husky, carrying a heavy emotion
Abigail froze, not immediately understanding. “Tell you what?”
“About your eyes..” He began but then fell silent, his gaze complex as he looked at her. “If you need help, I can assist”
She turned away, unwilling to see any sympathy or pity in his eyes. Shaking her head, she said, “Forget it. I don’t want to make someone else sacrifice their chance of survival just because of my eyes.”
“What do you mean?”
Abigail explained that the family needed a specialized medical team to save their lives. She smiled bitterly. “If I were still the heiress of the Reed family, maybe I could compete with them using my connections, but now.. Forget it!”
“If you’re talking abon the Miles Medical Team, I might be able to help!”
At 6:00 pm, Nicole, elepantly dressed and holding a hunch box, appeared outside Eric’s office.
The office door was ajar, and Rudy Hunter, Eric’s assistant was inside reporting to him.
“Mr. Gomez, we just got a call from the donor. They’ve changed their mind and refuse to donate the corneas to Ms. Hopkins
Upon hearing that the donor had changed their mind, Nicole, unable to maintain her composure, rushed inside.
“Why?” she asked.
Perhaps tralizing her voice had become too sharp, she pinched her palm and immediately switched to a delicate, wounded demeanor
“Didn’t we already agree? Why did they suddenly back our? Are they trying to raise the price?”
Body glanced at Eric and noticed his cold, somber expression laced with an inexplicable trace of irritation. His mood seemed unstable recently, and the atmosphere around him was overbearing, making everyone around him nervous.
Every word had to be carefully considered before answering
Hesitating, Rudy replied, “The donar didn’t say, but their attitude is very firm ”
“Eric, what should we do? Nicole immediately clutched Eric’s sleeve, pretending to be pitiful. “Am I really going to go blind, unable to see for the rest of my life?
Eric’s face darkened.
What made someone who was on the verge of death suddenly decide to give up their will to live? Someone must have given him new hope.
Who was it?
He tugged at his the, feeling a growing sense of frustration. Nothing had been going right recently.
Abigail had blocked all his contact information, seemingly determined to divorce him. He couldn’t even find her so they could talk.
Derrick occasionally sent messages asking when he planned to finalize the notarization to sever ties as if he was eager to replace Eric with Abigail
Now, even the once–settled donation had hit a snag
____ “Get me the donor’s family information. I’ll contact them personally.”
“Yes, sir.” Rudy Immediately sent the information to Eric
As Eric opened the file, Nicole, standing beside him, noticed a familiar face in the photo
It was her.
She immediately recalled what had happened at the banquet the night before. Her nails dug into her palm, her eyes filled with cold hatred
“Eric, it’s Ms. Reed. It must be her.”
Her eyes reddened, and she looked like she had suffered a great injustice.
“Last night, at the banquet at Park Hyatt, I ran into Ms. Reed. I saw her being bullied by Ms. Lowe, so I stepped in to help her. But Ms. Reed misunderstood me because of the amusement park incident.
Π
“she yelled at me in front of everyone, calling me a mistress and accusing me of ruining your marriage, causing a great scene.
“This person was a waitress at the banquet. Although I don’t know how Ms. Reed found out she was the mother of my comea donor, I saw her chasing after the woman.
“During that chase, she argued with Ms. Lowe, who pushed her into the swimming pool, and she was saved by a man who carried her away,
“By the way, I took some photos at that moment. Eric, look
Nicole found the photos she had taken on her phone and handed them to Eric.
She now felt very fortimate that when she returned, she had heard someone mention that Abigail had followed Macmi
She was worried that Abigail might see her ballying someone and then go to Eric, making up lies, so she wanted to clarify things first.
Instead, she saw a man pulling Abigail out of the pool, her clothes soaked. The two of them chatted and laughed, and in the end, the man even escorted
her home
At that moment, Nicole secretly took many photos, Intending to expose them at the right time to slander Abigail’s character. However, she had never expected these photos to come in handy now.
It was almost an unintended blessing
Eric immediately recognized the man in the photos as Ryan, his face growing as cold as ice.
Did Abigail and Ryan know each other?
Judging by their familiarity, they had probably known each other for quite some time!
“Very well! Abigail, you’ve been messing with Ryan and going against ma, huh?”
The following day, Ab gail dressed up, radiant, and ready for surgery.
Ryan had successfully negotiated with the donor the previous day, and they had agreed to remove the child’s life support today and donate the corneas to Abigail
She had been in high spirits since Jewing the hospital. But her mood shifted when she stepped out of the elevator and saw Eric standing in the lobby.
“What are you doing here?” She frowned, giving him a cold stare
Seeing him again, she found her heart unnervingly calm. The excitement and joy she once felt were gone.
When disappointment piled up, love really could fade away completely.
Tric’s expression was colder than hers, and be angrily glared at her. “If I don’t come, will you be sneaking around with some other man?
Faced with his baseless accusation, Abigail was speechless. “Are you out of your mind?”
Did he think everyone else was as morally bankrupt as he was?
She didn’t want to let him rin her mood, so she tried to walk past him.
But he grabbed her wrist with a firm grip. He used all his strength, and she felt like her wrist was about to snap.
“Eric, what the hell is wrong with your Abigal angrily tried to shake him off.
He looked at her coldly, tightening his grip. “Are you going to meet Ryan dressed like this?
