Chapter 1485

"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 relationship between Stefan, Renee, and Jovan,

he knew the normal relationship 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 selfblame 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 slashing her skin, and if an infection occured, she wouldn't be

able to get a transplant 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 accept what had happened.
