Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1357 - 1335: Hot Weather, Getting Overheated
Ya Chen said faintly, "I can’t see, anyway."
Chu Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief, almost smacking her forehead for forgetting again that he couldn’t see now.
She simply stood up from the water, naked, facing him, reaching out to take the body wash: "Thanks."
His eyes flickered imperceptibly, his fingers stiffened, gripping the body wash tightly.
"What’s wrong?" she asked, puzzled.
Only then did he relax his tense body, releasing the body wash and handing it to her: "Nothing."
Chu Xinyue froze for a moment: "You’re... you’re having a nosebleed?"
Only then did he feel a warm flow beneath his nose, wiping it away expressionlessly with his fingertip. "Maybe it’s the heat, got a bit of a flare-up."
A flare-up? Chu Xinyue was skeptical and was about to ask more when she noticed more blood trickling out.
She exclaimed, "Your... your nosebleed is getting worse, should we call a doctor?"
"It’s just a nosebleed, no need to make a fuss. There’s gauze in the bathroom cabinet, could you find it for me?"
She watched the blood cascading down his prominent nose like a small stream, thinking it seemed quite serious, she hurriedly stood up from the water.
The bathrobe was still over there, but there was no time to get it.
Who cares! He can’t see anyway!
She wrapped a large towel around her body, jumped onto the bathroom floor, and ran to the cabinet to start looking for gauze.
Her slender yet graceful figure wrapped in the semi-wet towel, amidst the white steam, danced like a swaying delicate flower.
At this moment, bending over, arching her back to search for gauze, it was indeed a tantalizing scene.
Ya Chen’s eyes flickered suddenly, half-open, half-closed, as if he was appreciating the beautiful scenery with interest.
Chu Xinyue felt a burning gaze on her back, turned her head, and saw him facing her direction, her face flushed with heat.
If she didn’t know he couldn’t see now, her current state... would be simply seducing him.
Still not used to it, she lowered her voice: "Can you turn around?"
"I can’t see," he emphasized.
Although he couldn’t see, she still felt odd, as if seen clearly by him, but she didn’t voice it, instinctively wrapping the towel more tightly around her body.
After finding the gauze, she went to his side, just about to give it to him but remembered he couldn’t see and wouldn’t be able to manage it himself.
Might as well help till the end, be thorough!
"Bend down a bit," she said.
He was too tall.
He graciously bent down, allowing her to stop the bleeding with the cotton cloth.
Standing on tiptoe, she managed to stop the bleeding, only to feel a chill on her chest as the big towel around her slipped down, revealing everything that should be covered.
She had been so focused on stopping the bleeding that she didn’t notice!
He unexpectedly had another trickle of nosebleed coming out.
She was startled and quickly wiped it clean, picking up the towel before getting back into the bathtub. "It’s done, the bleeding’s stopped. Can I get out now?"
The water and steam veiled her alluring figure, causing a faint trace of disappointment to flicker in his eyes, but he ultimately shrugged and walked towards the door.
——————
A week swiftly passed by.
The weekend appointment with Mr. N arrived soon enough.
Previously, Chu Xinyue was excited about the meeting with Mr. N, hoping it would come quickly.
But now, as the day approached, her mood inexplicably dropped.
Because meeting Mr. N also meant that her marriage with Ya Chen was about to end.
She felt a pang of regret and shame for the thoughts that arose in her mind!
What was happening to her?
Was she regretting it, not wanting to get divorced?
She knew that ever since she learned the truth about him keeping Lan Yurou, a part of her had softened.
But she reminded herself - Chu Xinyue, you proposed the divorce, don’t go back on your word.
...
Today, the doctor would come to check Ya Chen’s vision.
Early in the morning, Chu Xinyue specially took a day off and stood at the door with the guard, watching the doctor go inside, waiting for the results.
If the examination was fine, his vision should have been recovering and improving.
Then today would be the day she leaves.
She would have no reason to stay any longer.
In a few days, as agreed with him, she would hand in the divorce papers.
She clutched the edge of her clothing.
This was something she proposed, and something she hoped for.
As long as the doctor came out and said his eyes were fine, she could get what she wanted.
However, at this moment, there was an indescribable complex feeling in her heart.
The bedroom door was ajar.
She saw the ophthalmologist from China examining his eyes with a slit lamp microscope and asking about his current condition.
Under the light, Ya Chen’s eyes showed no reaction, no matter how the doctor shined the light, not even a blink of his lashes, like a pool of dead water.
She saw the ophthalmologist’s face darken and suddenly felt a tinge of unease.
After the examination, the doctor closed the door and came out. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
The three of them walked to the living room one after another.
"How is it, doctor? Didn’t you say His Highness’s eyes would be able to see at most half a month after this? We’ve been giving him the medication on time, and he hasn’t touched water, what’s the status now?" The guard asked urgently.
Chu Xinyue also looked nervously at the doctor.
The doctor’s brows furrowed tightly: "It seems His Highness’s eyes are more troublesome than we thought. We initially estimated a maximum of half a month for His Highness’s vision to gradually recover. I just checked, the inflammation in His Highness’s eye is gone, the eye pressure is 16 and 17, which is within the normal range. Logically, he should be able to see by now, but for some reason, there’s no response to light stimulation..."
The guard was anxious: "Doctor, can you speak in words humans can understand!"
"His Highness has no light perception, meaning, he still can’t see."
Chu Xinyue was taken aback: "He still can’t see? Can it get better?"
This time, the doctor also dared not guarantee: "I’m not sure, I’ll send His Highness’s situation to America for further consultation. After all, ocular blindness gene surgery is new in medicine, we can’t rule out that His Highness was a short-term success, and the surgery actually failed. With the current situation, it might get better in a few days, or maybe in a few months, or even..."
"Or even, turn blind again, right?" Chu Xinyue helped finish the doctor’s unspoken words.
The doctor said nothing, only sighed.
After a long silence, Chu Xinyue instructed the guard to escort the doctor out.
Then, she pushed open Ya Chen’s bedroom door and walked in slowly.
Ya Chen lay calmly on the sofa, his handsome face unusually serene, with no trace of sadness. After she entered and didn’t speak for a while, he quipped, "Do you need to act like you’re grieving over a dead husband? It’s just blindness, I’m used to it."
Hearing him joke even now, she bit her lip hard to keep her voice from trembling: "You’re blind again now, it’s not just losing a strand of hair. You just recovered months ago and went blind again, does it not matter to you? Of all things, why did you swim during such a critical recovery period?!"
