In Darkness and Despair Chapter 69

Chapter 69 

Abigail’s face was devoid of emotion, yet her temperament was stronger than before she lost her sight. Eric, too, was surprised by her. He thought it was an improvement that she could stand up for herself

Derrick was grim. Alright, enough. Take her home and discipline her. The next time I see her, she better be a brand new person. Otherwise, I don’t want to see her again!” 

What a harsh statement

Charles and Miranda wanted to plead for Sally, but upon seeing Derrick’s face, they dared not say another word. Instead, their family left with their tails between their legs

Derrick pulled Abigail to his side, and while holding her hand, he sounded apologetic. That must’ve been hard on you earlier, Abby. But don’t you be afraid because I’ll always be on your side.” 

She smiled faintly. I know that, Grandpa. I’m fine.” 

He sighed, looking at Eric. Have they found the corneas for her?” 

Eric was slightly startled before answering, Not yet, but I believe we’ll find them soon.” 

Chanse shot a profound look at Abigail

Try to make it soon. Anyway, it’s getting late. You should take Abby home for rest.” 

Eric nodded. We’ll see you soon again, Grandpa.” 

He left the living room with Abigail handinhand, and she didn’t resist him because she didn’t want to worry Derrick. It wasn’t until they exited the residence that she broke free from his grip. I can do it myself.” 

Eric stopped and turned around to look at her. Are you mad at me? Didn’t I take your side earlier?” 

No,she answered softly, How could I be mad at you, Mr. Gomez?” 

No?He snickered. Then what’s with all the sarcasm?” 

No, you must’ve misunderstood something. Can we leave now? I’m tired, and I need some rest.” 

Abigail was truly exhausted. Since losing sight, she had become frequently wearynot physically, but mentally

She had to divide her attention to every sound, carefully analyzing each noise. Coupled with the insecurity brought by her blindness, every time she went out, she felt uneasy and on edge

Although she had been blind for some time, she still hadn’t adapted to the darkness and longed for the day she could return to the light

But she was exhausted, and with each passing day, her heart grew more numb

Eric thought it was reasonable for her to be mad when he had forcefully made her attend this dinner party, which brought her even more trouble. He ordered the chauffeur to bring the car over and led her into the vehicle

Next time we’re out, it’ll only be the two of us. It was my fault. I overlooked your feelings,he said softly

For him to say something like this, akin to an apology, was already a sign of him conceding. This was the first time he had said anything like this. However, Abigail turned him down. That’s not necessary. I don’t wanna go out and just want to be alone.” 

Eric frowned. Considering the humiliation she endured tonight, he didn’t insist any further

Although Abigail didn’t have a phone, she knew the time and date because her ereader would routinely announce it. Therefore, she knew Monday had 

come

She had made plans to meet Jacinta at the hospital a week ago. After telling Peter she wasn’t feeling well and needed a checkup, he consulted Eric about it and subsequently took her to the hospital and the same doctor

When Abigail entered the doctor’s office, she felt a soft hand pulling her. Immediately, she knew it was Jacinta
