Chapter 82
In the hospital.
Sylvia awoke to pitch darkness, her heart pounding with fear. She could sense someone moving around her.
"Who's there?"
"Who's there?"
Her voice was raspy as she grabbed whatever her hand could find and hurled it into the darkness.
Her frantic actions froze everyone in the room. A sob broke the silence, and a figure rushed towards her. "Sylvia,
Sylvia, what's wrong? It's Mom!"
Naomi, tears streaming down her face, moved closer to Sylvia.
Sylvia's hand stopped mid-air, her breathing shaky. "Mom, where are you? Why can't | see you?"
Naomi's pupils dilated, her tears momentarily forgotten. "Sylvia! Don't scarelike that!"
Sylvia stared blankly at an empty space, her voice trembling. "Mom..."
The room fell silent.
Naomi's cry broke the silence. "Doctor! Doctor!"
The doctor who finally arrived was Rupert's friend. After a thorough examination, his expression grew more
serious, though he didn't spell out his concerns.
"I'll arrange stests and we'll go from there," he comforted before leaving, casting a fleeting glance at Rupert
on the sofa.

Rupert stood up quietly and left the room. Beside him, Bridget couldn't hide a small, almost imperceptible smile.
Blind, eh? Let's see how Sylvia competes with her now!
Outside the ward.
Rupert didn't wait for his friend to speak, his usually composed demeanor cracking. "How can we restore her
sight?"
His friend was taken aback, having never seen Rupert so agitated. "You're worried now? | told you before - her
mental state was fragile. How could this have happened?" "Restore her sight!" Rupert's voice was low but
terrifying, like a knife pressed to his friend's throat.
Dissatisfaction could mean a swift and brutal end.
His friend sighed. "The blindness is temporary. Once her emotional state stabilizes, her vision should return This
is the first tI've seen such a strong physical reaction to stress. Rupert, what exactly happened to her?"
The question plunged Rupert into thought. He remembered Sylvia's question at the hospital.
"Uncle, is this really all because of Julian?"
His eyes narrowed, his expression unreadable.
Seeing that Rupert was unwilling to discuss further, his friend changed the subject. "I'll arrange the tests."
After his friend left, Rupert stood in the smoking area, silently lighting a cigarette. The sight of his reddened
knuckles reminded him of the three men he had knocked unconscious. He took a puff, his gaze shifting to Orson,
who was a few steps behind.
Orson stepped forward. "Mr. Garcia."
Through the smoke, Rupert said coldly. "Bring them."
Orson paused, then nodded. "Yes."

The officer spoke seriously, "Ms. Lloyd, we received a report from your roommate. We're here to understand
what happened."
Hearing this, Sylvia instinctively hid behind Naomi.
Naomi, protective of her daughter,
said angrily, "After what they've done
