Chapter 1443 - I Only Want You (1/2)

Furthermore, they were just strangers who happened to meet by chance.

Although Mu Wansheng could not tell what his appearance was like, she knew that he was a kind soul.

After she’d been staying with him for some time, her burns gradually began to heal. She could finally get out of bed and start walking around, though she had yet to fully recover. Desperately wanting to know what had happened to her eyes, she requested Tang Yucheng to bring her to the hospital.

Tang Yucheng agreed.

It was summer time.

Due to the burns on her body, Mu Wansheng had no choice but to wrap herself up in tight clothing, despite the immense heat. She did not wish to expose the burns and scars on her arms and legs. Although she could not see, she could roughly tell what they looked like just by touching them.

After breakfast, Tang Yucheng brought her to the hospital.

They registered for a consultation with the optometrist.

Her long-sleeved ensemble was already eye-catching enough. Everyone around her could not help but take another glance at her, especially since she was clad in a cap and a surgical mask as well.

When it was her turn, Tang Yucheng held her hand and walked her to the doctor’s office.

Upon the sight of her, the optometrist immediately said, “Have a seat.”

Mu Wansheng sat down on the chair with Tang Yucheng’s guidance.

“What’s wrong with your eyes?”

“I can’t see anymore and I’d like to have my eye examined.”

“Why? Did you lose your vision all of a sudden? Or did it occur after an accident?”

“It occurred after an accident,” said Mu Wansheng.

The doctor handed Tang Yucheng the receipt for the checkup and said, “Please proceed to make payment.”

Tang Yucheng exited the room while Mu Wansheng waited for him.

When he returned, the doctor instructed Mu Wansheng to remove her mask, claiming that it was getting in the way.

After some hesitation, she decided to remove the mask.

As soon as she removed her mask, the female optometrist shrieked, “Oh, my god!”

Hanging her head low, Mu Wansheng put her mask back on and said, “Sorry to have frightened you.”

Clutching her chest, the optometrist remarked, “How did you get burned so badly? Your burns are way too severe.”

“Yeah, they are.”

Mu Wansheng’s heart sank to rock bottom after hearing the optometrist’s diagnosis.

“You’ve become permanently blind. There are no viable treatment options because the damage done is too severe.”

“Is there really no solution at all?”

“No.”

Her hopes were once again dashed.

Mu Wansheng knew that she had to resign herself to fate, as much as she didn’t want to.

They exited the hospital.

Although the sun was shining brightly and the weather was hot and humid, she felt like she was freezing from head to toe.

She was consumed by the coldness that came from within.

She rode in Tang Yucheng’s trishaw, which had curtains to cover her.

Upon returning home, Mu Wansheng lay down in bed and cooped herself up all day.

Although she had already adjusted to living without vision, she did not want to spend the rest of her life in darkness.

In fact, she even felt that she would be better off dead.
