Chapter 1486

Adie helped Renee to the master bedroom upstairs and tucked her into bed. He even poured a glass of water for

her and placed it on the bedside cabinet. "There's water on the bedside cabinet, Mommy. You can drink it if you're

thirsty," Adie said considerately.

"Thank you, Adie. You and Abby are my eyes, so... I'm not afraid. In fact, I feel relaxed and happier. Although I can't

see with my eyes, I can see with my heart!" Renee said and smiled sincerely. Yes, her pain for losing her sight was

real, but her children's love for her was real too, and it filled her with happiness. She wouldn't know how warm her

children were if something like this didn't happen. They were no longer merely kids under her care—they could be

independent, and they could even take care of her when she needed it.

"Rest early, Mommy. Don't worry, I won't let you be blind for long. I'll come up with ways to make you see again,"

Adie promised firmly, clenching his fists.

"Just let things run its course. Of course, I would love to be able to see again, but if I can't, I'm still happy with how

things are." Renee told herself not to be greedy because she still had a lot of things. Besides, nothing was perfect,

and imperfection was always the unchanged law of nature.

Renee felt that she was luckier than a lot of people since she had two dear children, and she should learn to be

grateful.

"By the way, Adie... you went to your daddy tonight. How's he doing?" Renee finally asked the question she wanted.

She remembered that they had given each other blessings before they parted ways, and he had been about to get

surgery too. She wondered if the surgery had gone smoothly.

Adie hung his head and confessed, "He's pretty good, and his surgery was just over when I went to him. It looked

like he had just woken up, and he remembered who I was."

"He... remembered you?" Renee's heart began fluttering.

"Yeah, he remembered who you were too. He promised me to come and see you once he's recovered."

"No!" Renee blurted out, overwhelmed by fear. She said sternly, "Listen to me, Adie-don't let him come here. We're

already separated, and I don't want to see him again."

"You don't want to see him again? Why do I feel like you wish to see him but you just don't have the guts?" Adie said

doubtfully, studying Renee's expression closely.

Renee averted her gaze guiltily. "What... What do you mean? It's not that, I just don't want to see him."

"You don't want to let him see you this way because you're blind. You're afraid that he'll think badly of you, right?"

"No, that's not it!" Renee clenched her fists and explained, "It has nothing to do with my blindness; I just don't want

to see him. My decision wouldn't change even if I could see."

"Just keep lying to yourself, Mommy. Anyway, I've made a deal with him, and he'll come and see you. You can tell

him yourself then..." Adie shrugged and said helplessly.
