As she heard the sound of footsteps approaching, Ning Qing channelled her gaze towards the door. “Older Sister Jian…”
Jian Han walked to Ning Qing’s side, and she looked down at Ning Qing’s eyes, which did not have any sign of abnormality. Her heart ached. Such a beautiful pair of eyes now lacked color. It was such a pity.
“Ning Qing.” Jian Han caressed her small head and said, “The results of the tests are in. There is a small blood clot in your retina, and that is why you are showing signs of blindness.”
“Small blood clot?”
“That’s right. A while ago, when you came to see Aunt, I noticed that there was an injury on your forehead. The area of your head at the bottom of your eye withstood a huge amount of force, and it has left behind a blood clot. This is a big factor of your current blindness.”
Ning Qing thought of when she had been knocked into the edge of the chair in the meeting room. At that time, she was fighting it out with those elders, and she did not feel any pain. It wasn’t until she had boarded the vehicle that she started to feel pain. When she went back to the Lu home, she slept for three whole days. It was only when she got out of bed that she first experienced vision loss.
That must’ve led to the current situation.
“Ning Qing, you don’t have to worry. This condition merely requires a single surgery. You will regain your vision after surgery. I will get you in contact with the best doctor. For quality medical care, we have to make a trip to England. Free up your schedule for the next two days. I will accompany you to go to England. We cannot drag this on much longer, because you may lose your vision at any time with this condition.”
Going to England again?
Ning Qing was really fearful of going to that place.
“Older Sister Jian.” Ning Qing held onto her hand and said, “You tell me honestly, what are the chances of the surgery being a success?”
Retinal reattachment surgery… Once she heard about it, she knew that it would be highly dangerous because it would affect her eyes.
Jian Han held onto Ning Qing’s hand, and her small hand was icy cold. They lacked any heat. Jian Han warmly coaxed her, “The surgery has a 70% chance of success. I’ll be around; you can relax.”
“Okay.” Ning Qing softly agreed before stretching about her arm to embrace Jian Han’s soft waist. With her face, she nudged Jian Han’s large white lab coat. She then said, “Older Sister Jian, I believe you… if I really lose my sight, then I guess it will have been fated.”
Jian Han caressed her smooth, dark hair and smiled. “Ning Qing, I don’t allow you to be so negative. You have to be strong and good, child,” she rea.s.sured her.
At this time, even if she was not strong, she had to muster her strength.
“Okay.” Ning Qing nodded her head.
“Ning Qing, how come I haven’t seen Young Master Lu recently. Normally, the two of you are together all the time. What has been going on lately? You were sitting on the floor of the bathroom alone. Losing your sight is such a huge matter; why is he not here with you?”
Ning Qing’s small, pale face froze, and she forcefully curled up the corners of her lips before saying, “Older Sister Jian, I also do not know what is going on lately. He suddenly…doesn’t want me anymore.”
The tip of her nose went sour, and the tears in her eyes rolled down her face.
She really felt very wrong.
“He doesn’t want you anymore? How could that be? Young Master Lu loves you so much.” Even a bystander like her could feel the amount of love Lu Shaoming had for Ning Qing.
Ning Qing shook her head, and her eyes were lost and listless as she said, “I don’t know.”
She had said, “I don’t know,” because she really did not know anything else.
Jian Han sighed again and comforted her saying, “All couples experience their troubles. It will all pa.s.s. Everything will get better… Ning Qing, this retinal attachment surgery is also pretty dangerous. Would you let Young Master Lu know and allow him to accompany you?”
Ning Qing shut her eyes, and she allowed the tears to flow quietly. “Older Sister Jian, I am very afraid. I am scared I will really lose my sight.
“There is no difference in me opening or closing my eyes. It is dark everywhere. There is no light or colour at all. I think I am still very young, and I have not seen enough of this world yet. I have not seen the scenery in this world, Little Young Master Lu is still so young. If I really lose my sight, what would he do?”
“You asked me if I would allow Lu Shaoming to accompany me. I can only say that I really want him to. I want to ask him to accompany me. At such a dangerous and critical time like this, I want him to give me strength and power. I want him to share the burden together with me, but would he accompany me
“It is not scary to lose your sight. The most scary thing is the question of what I should do after I lose my sight, how would I go around being a blind person? Lu Shaoming is already treating me like this. Now, I am a lonely soul. I am really scared that if I lose my sight, he would want me even less.. No matter how I chase after him, I would not be able to keep up with his car and his footsteps anymore. I am afraid that I would forget what he looks like.
“Older Sister Jian, actually I am not afraid of life after I lose my sight. As long as he is by my side, and if he is willing to be my eyes, I can be very brave. But now, without him, what am I going to do?”
Jian Han’s eyes were moist, and the time she had known Ning Qing could not be considered to be long, but inn her impression, Ning Qing was really the bravest girl that she had ever met.
But now, this brave girl was so lonely and helpless.
Her loneliness and helplessness was not because of her losing her sight, but it was because of Lu Shaoming.
That man was her everything.
Jian Han caressed her small head gently, and said, “Ning Qing, cry then. After you cry it out, we will lift our chins up and stand up straight as we start anew. We cannot be negative, no matter what happens next. We have to love ourselves first. After all, life still goes on.”
…
There was a luxurious vehicle stopped outside the Fragrant Springs Lake Villa, and both Lu Shaoming and Leng Zhiyuan got out of the car.
“Just now I brought you to have a look. What do you think of Tang Xueli as a person?” Lu Shaoming asked.
“Although this person looks like a businessman on the outside, his martial skills are not bad. I saw that his hand was very rough, so he should be someone that is used to holding guns. This person is not simple. His entire body has a ruthless air to it,” Leng Zhiyuan concluded simply.
“Yeah.” Lu Shaoming nodded his head.
