As a blind person, the scariest thing that could happen was a change in environment, not the fact that


    he couldn’t see. The little wooden house had always been his shell for the past six months, and hiding


    within this shell brought him a sense of safety andfort.


    “Please calm down, sir. You have injured your back. That’s why you’ll have to be hospitalized for a


    short period of time. Don’t worry. We will make sure to take good care of you,” The nurse consoled him


    patiently.


    Despite this, Jovan flung his arms like he was in a manic episode and yelled, “Get lost! I don’t need


    your care! Get lost right now!”


    “Where’s my guardian!? Where is she?! I only want her!” The man’s voice was filled with anger and


    desperation as if he was a child, worried that he had just been abandoned.


    The nurse frowned sadly. “I’m sorry, I… I don’t know where your guardian is, either. You were alone in


    this ward when I came.”


    Jovan’s face turned pale as a sheet, and he begged the nurse, “I’ll pay you to send me home! I’ll pay


    you however much you want! She’d be worried if I wasn’t home! Please!”


    “Uhm… We can’t do that, sir. Do you perhaps have her number? Why don’t I give her a call instead?”


    “Alright, her number is…”


    Just as Jovan was about to say Renee’s number, he suddenly realized something and fell silent.


    “Sir? Her number is…?”


    “It’s okay. There’s no need to call her,” Jovan said as his frustrations suddenly died down.


    If she had really wanted to ditch him, there was no use in asking for her toe back. He would


    certainly not me her for leaving, as he was content that they got to spend those past six months


    together, along with all the love and care she provided him.


    Suddenly, Renee pushed open the door to the ward, letting out a sigh of relief as soon as she saw him.


    “Thank the gods. You’re finally awake! You scared me to death!”


    Jovan’s handsome face brightened immediately after he heard her voice.


    “You… You didn’t leave? You weren’t thinking of abandoning me?”


    Renee froze, then chuckled. “Silly, do you really think I’m that type of person? If I really wanted to


    abandon you, I would’ve done so long ago!”

    She then held his hand and teased him. “I haven’t even given you a lecture! How could you climb that


    tree when you’re blind? If I came home anyter, would you have wanted to climb the roof instead?!”


    “I just wanted to pick some cherries for you because I heard you wanted some. You could eat them


    once youe home from the marketce.”


    “I can pick them if I want to eat them that badly. Your main mission here is to take care of yourself.”


    Renee was touched, but she wasn’t used to saying melodramatic words.


    “Yeah, a burden like me should just stay put and not give you trouble…” Joavn said weakly.


    Although he had always been wasting his life away and cared for nothing in his life in the past, the man


    had never felt so useless before.


    “Atta boy!” Renee patted him on the head and stood up, bringing over the small piece of cake she


    bought. “Are you in a bad mood? I bought something good for you, okay? I’m sure you’ll feel much


    better once you’ve had some!”


    “What is it?”


    “Open your mouth.” Renee scooped up some cake and fed it to Jovan.


    “It’s yummy.” Jovan was thoroughlyforted as if he really was a child.


    Desserts were truly the key to happiness.


    Next to them was the nurse from earlier. She was simply touched and envious of their rtionship as


    she thought, ‘This really is… true love!’
