“Listen to me, Abby-just go to sleep. Mommy’s eyes might have recovered when you wake up, or…


    it might all just be a nightmare,” Adie said reassuringly.


    Eventually, Abby went to bed with Margaret obediently because of Adie’s coaxing.


    “Can you tell me the truth now, Mommy?” After Abby left, Adie turned to Renee. Although he was


    the same age as Abby, he was more mature and rational. Sometimes, he was even more mature


    than adults. Besides, he didn’t believe that Renee was blind because of sickness; he firmly believed


    that it had something to do with Jovan. However, he understood Renee’s reluctance to tell the truth


    because she didn’t want to make Abby and Margaret worry. Thus, he came up with a way to send


    them away.


    “You’re a smart kid, Adie. You should know that no one can take away my eyes. I’m not that weak.”


    Renee reached out and felt around, finally managing to grab Adie’s hand.


    Adie immediately understood what she was saying, and his eyes glossed over with unshed tears. “I


    know. You willingly gave up your eyes to Jovan…”

    Renee didn’t say anything, silently admitting to it.


    “He should have refused even if you were willing because you’re not the one who owed him! How


    could he take your eyes…” Adie wiped away his tears furiously, feeling


    frustrated and outraged. Although he didn’t understand the strange rtionship between Stefan,


    Renee, and Jovan, he knew the normal rtionship between a creditor and a debtor. The debtor


    should be the one paying the creditor, so it shouldn’t be Renee who had to pay this price.


    “Come with me, Mommy. We’ll go to Jovan and ask for your eyes back!” Adie tried his best to pull


    Renee up as if he wanted to go see Jovan right away.


    “Calm down, Adie.” Renee understood Adie’s pain and why he reacted that way. She whispered, “I


    did it willingly, and I won’t ask him to return them. Plus… he didn’t even know about this.”


    “You mean you didn’t even tell him after you did it? Do you think you’re some kind of saint?” Adie


    was fuming now. He wanted to ask Renee if she had thought about him and Abby when she so


    generously gave up her eyes, but he stopped himself. He knew she would be filled with grief and


    selfme if he asked her that.


    “I’ve just had the surgery, so I’m a little tired, Adie. Can you help me back to my room to rest?”


    Renee asked Adie softly. She was really tired and couldn’t stay awake anymore.


    Besides, the swelling around her eyes felt like knives shing her skin, and if an infection ured,


    she wouldn’t be able to get a transnt even if she found a suitable donor.


    “Okay, Mommy. Let me help you to bed.” Adie knew that he couldn’t change Renee’s mind, so he


    reluctantly forced himself to ept what had happened.
