Lilia looked up with a guilty look, her hands still hidden under the blanket but the light from the cellphone's screen still went through.
The man narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Did you not listen to me?"
"No, since we're leaving, I just wanted to say goodbye to everyone!" Lilia blinked her eyes as she tried to make excuses.
The man was silent, but he still looked at her deeply.
Lilia kicked her toes in confusion. When she took her hands off the blanket, she grabbed her husband's sleeves. "Come closer, I can't see you ..."
Her fragility and panic would only be revealed when she faced him.
Her vision was now only half a meter.
Furthermore, there was only obscurity.
When the man heard her words, his heart suddenly ached. He lowered his eyelids where Lilia couldn't see and his eyes were filled with a murderous aura.
He calmly regained his composure and when he lifted his eyes again, he bent down and picked her up from the wheelchair. Then he carried to bed and put her down gently.
The man pulled the blanket for her, and when he was about to leave, his wrist was suddenly pulled.
"Are you mad?" She asked in a worried voice.
"Not!" He answered simply, but his face was still stiff.
Lilia pouted and muttered in? a slightly sad mood, "I don't know how long it will take this time, so I wanted to explain to Harold about a few things. I didn't mean to break our promise. I didn't do anything but post on social media."
"I am not angry." The man listened carefully to her hesitant tone, his heart felt so painful from it.
He leaned over and took her hand then slowly pressed it against his cheek. "We won't go far and it won't take long. And your eyes will be alright."
"I know!" Lilia smiled and caressed his handsome face as if it was a flower. "The person you found for this must be an expert."
Lilia didn't even know that when she saw that man, her eyes were no longer as clear as water.
In just a few days, she lost weight, couldn't walk, couldn't see clearly, all the while being pregnant so she was careful about everything.
The man's nose trembled, he kissed the palm of his wife's hand with a broken heart.
Lilia touched his cheek, and her eyes rolled slightly. "Did you find anything at the scene?"
The man looked at her deeply and sighed inwardly. "Yes."
"It wasn't a pure accident, right!"
Even though Lilia was injured, her mind was still as sharp.
She remembered that her heel accidentally tripped over that day, and suddenly, the backdrop fell off at the same time. It's not a coincidence at all.
"Milia and…" The man didn't mean to hide it from her. After saying a word, his voice stopped.
Lilia immediately answered the conversation and said with a smile, "Let me guess, is William also involved?"
She didn't believe that Milia could do it all alone.
It so happened that Dina and Rini had to leave the scene, her heels tripped, and the background board suddenly fell right on top of her. The timing was too good to be a coincidence, so unless someone plotted it before, there was no way the accident could happen.
She had been through a lot, it was only natural if her instinct refused to believe it as purely coincidental.
The man's thin lips lifted slightly as he said, "The third son of the Ricardo family, Ricky, is also in."
Lilia slowly looked at him and repeated. "The third son of the Ricardo family? When did I ever offend him?"
She did not have any particular impression towards Ricky, Lilia only remembered that the man had tan skin and a piercing near the tail of his brow.
"This is not necessarily an act of revenge, it could be related to the internal affair of the Ricardo family. Alfred's attention to you has provoked Ricky's concern and suspicion!"
Hearing this, Lilia looked helpless. "What am I? A freakin' fish bait? Seriously..."
The man clenched his fist and said sharply, "It's okay, they all are going to pay for it."
Lilia gripped her husband's hand tightly and wondered, trying to express the doubt in her heart for a long time. "So, does Galaxy Real Estate also belong to Alfred?"
"Yes, but it's not quite a surprise."
"He's lucky he used to work as a lecturer. Otherwise, his ploy would've reached everyone's ears. Anyway, have you found any spies in your company?" Lilia asked.
The man didn't hide anymore, he said the name in a deep voice.
Lilia was shocked. "Oliver? I remember him!" Then she glanced weakly at Jean. "I was in your office and his attitude towards me wasn't very good, and ... He clearly hates his job."
Her eyes narrowed as she learned that such behavior was a red flag from the start.
Her husband then stretched out his brows, leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. "Don't worry about these things, we're leaving tomorrow morning."
"So fast…" Lilia leaned towards him from the bed. "Where are you going? You and Vincent are so mysterious, are we going abroad?"
"No, it's close!"
In the end, Lilia didn't ask any further.
After all, she had absolute trust in him. After letting Jean carry her into the bathroom for a quick face wash, she fell asleep.
As Jean said, the place they were going to was really close. They wouldn't even leave Surabaya.
It's just that nobody knew exactly where.
...
The next day at five in the morning, Lilia was still asleep and felt like she was being carried.
She muttered in her sleep and opened her eyes slowly. "Are we leaving already?"
"Don't bother asking, just sleep."
Lilia was seen muttering something vague before burying her face in his arms, and falling asleep again.
The three got into the car. On the day before leaving, the man would not allow anyone to meet or take her wife anywhere.
Only Mellisa, who was standing in front of the villa's door, saw their silhouette getting into the car. One second before the door closed, she couldn't help feeling anxious. She ran forward and pulled open the door.
"Promise me Lilia will definitely recover..." She said with pained eyes.
"Yes, don't worry." Jean was sitting in the car holding Lilia and nodding lightly.
Mellisa pulled the doorknob tightly with her fingertips, as if she had made up her mind. Then she said, "If necessary, I can give her my eyes."
Jean raised his eyes at once. Even Vincent, who was still sleepy to the side, couldn't help but stare at the owner of the voice.
What kind of relationship was this? Did she think it's that easy to donate an eye?!
"No, even though you really want to donate it, I already have it!" The man said it like a joke, but with a serious attitude.
Mellisa's words were overheard by Leonard as he walked over slowly.
He was horrified, and moved forward with his brows. He then pulled her into his embrace. "Don't talk nonsense."
No, Mellisa would definitely go to that extreme if it meant she could end her sister's suffering.
If Lilia's eyes couldn't be healed, she was willing to endure the blindness and gave her eyes to her sister.
Vincent was seen glancing out the door and pouting angrily from inside the car, saying nothing.
After living abroad for a long time, it had been a while since he could feel a strong bond between people.
The man nodded towards Leonard then said to the driver, "Let's go."
The driver was from the Widjaya family security team!
The car drove slowly toward the road. The sky at five in the morning was still dark. Mellisa saw the car leave while praying in her heart.
She prayed Lilia could come back safe and healthy.
