"Are you insane?" Luke Land was truly at a loss; he wondered if there was sothing wrong with his younger brother Asher Land’s mind. "Do you think just because you want to donate your cornea to Sophie Smith, the doctor would go through with it?"
Hospitals are not black markets; who would take a cornea from a living person?
"Besides, don’t worry too much. A donor will definitely be found. The most important thing is that Sophie Smith’s current health condition isn’t suitable for surgery; she needs to get past the critical period first..."
Luke Land was only trying to comfort Asher Land because he had no other choice.
After all, he himself did not know when a donor would be found, or when Sophie would get through the critical period.
...
About two days later, Sophie Smith began to regain consciousness.
Asher Land, who had been by her side, was almost moved to tears when he saw her finally responding.
"Sophie, you’re awake?"
He held her hands tightly, his voice trembling slightly.
Sophie licked her dry lips; sothing covered her eyes, causing severe pain and swelling.
"Asher Land, didn’t you turn on the lights?..."
Her throat hurt terribly, burning so much that she almost couldn’t speak.
Asher Land saw the helpless expression on her face and was speechless for a long ti.
Sophie tried to sit up from the bed but was gently held down by his hand on her shoulder.
"Be good, don’t move now..."
His tone was as gentle as if it could lt into water.
"Asher..."
Sophie tightly pursed her lips, murmuring his na. At the mont when she rolled down the hill, she really thought she would never see him again in this life.
Now, hearing his gentle voice and his soft words in her ear, she suddenly felt a sense of recovering sothing she had lost.
Her expression was increasingly unsettled.
"Sophie, you can’t cry now, you know that, right?"
Her eyes were still in an injured state; crying would cause further damage.
"Asher Land, am I... blind?"
"It’s okay, Sophie, trust . In a few days, you’ll be able to have the surgery, and after the surgery, you’ll naturally be able to see."
Asher Land continued to comfort her softly.
"Okay."
This simple word couldn’t reveal her emotions at the mont.
Sophie noticed Asher Land suddenly went quiet and realized it must be because her current condition worried him.
She tried to force a smile, making her voice sound as upbeat and calm as possible.
"Asher Land, I’m hungry, I want sothing to eat."
There was still no response beside her.
"Asher, are you still there?" Sophie pouted. He wouldn’t walk away silently like this, would he? Was he leaving her just because she couldn’t see?
Fine, if he wants to leave, let him leave.
After all, she wasn’t ready to forgive him yet.
She pursed her pink lips, and suddenly, a pair of cold lips gently covered hers.
There was no deep action, just a gentle touch.
In just two seconds, he withdrew.
So, was he taking advantage of her because she couldn’t see?
"Sophie, why are you so silly?" His voice seed helpless, with a hint of guilt.
Sophie didn’t know how to respond; she reached out awkwardly to wipe her lips.
"We... we broke up, didn’t we? So I don’t need you to risk your life to save ."
Her voice was very steady, "I don’t want to owe you any favors."
At that mont, he suddenly felt so useless. Enzo Land clearly intended to use Sophie as leverage against him, and because of him, she was on the brink of death, suffering so much.
