Blinded By Love

Cedric unexpectedly chased after me and helped rebandage the wound on my arm."Nicole, your eyes are fine, right? Can you stop being so upset now?" he said gently. "As long as your eyes are still okay, it's not a big deal, right? The doctor said it wouldn't have much of an impact. I just can't bear to see you become blind. Celine had constantly told me how painful a blind person's world was, and I was really starting to lose patience with it."Realizing he might have been too harsh earlier, Cedric softened, trying to soothe me."I thought you were purposely trying to make me blind," I replied sarcastically, ignoring Cedric's attempts to appease me.I walked with Cedric toward the hill behind the house where we often went for walks.As my vision faded from blurry shapes to complete darkness, I realized the sky had already turned dark.I had no choice but to grab the corner of Cedric's shirt.A while later, I felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.Rowena's frantic voice came throu

As I was preparing to leave, it seemed Cedric finally remembered me.He called and said, "Nicole, I bought some fish for you. Thought you could use something nourishing.""Okay," I replied flatly.He continued, "I'll bring the fish home. Can you cook it? And please make sure to prepare some for Celine too. She could use some nourishment too."I let out a bitter chuckle. How was I supposed to cook the fish when I couldn't see?A wave of nausea swept over me.I couldn't help but wonder if he was still the Cedric I once knew, or if he had changed a long time ago, and I had just been too blind to see it."I went to the hospital where you had your surgery. I picked up your eye exam report," he said. "The doctor mentioned that as long as your left eye is fine, it shouldn't affect your daily life. You might just take some time getting used to it."I heard the sound of a door opening on his end.If I was right, he should've seen the divorce papers."How can you divorce me over someth

I was lucky. Shortly after arriving in Lanceton, I found a suitable cornea for the transplant. During my time in the hospital, Cedric wasn't around, and I often felt lonely and helpless, frequently thinking back to my college days.Back then, I was a top design student with a lot of potential, but I was always alone. I didn't have parents and had to rely on part-time jobs to survive. On the other hand, Cedric had set his sights entirely on me. I couldn't push him away.After class, he worked part-time to buy me meals, clothes and jewelry. Eventually, I realized how genuine he was. He had never asked for anything in return. He would smile and say, "I like you. I just want you to be happy."He showed me new places, making me see that life could be more beautiful than I ever thought. I didn't like feeling indebted to him, so when I started making money from my designs, I used it to help Cedric start his business.Perhaps it was because I had lost my sight completely that I was final

Looking at Celine's miserable state, my feelings shifted from a sense of satisfaction to regret, and finally to sympathy. Karma had its way, and I was grateful that my eyesight had fully restored. My design had even won an award.Meanwhile, Cedric was sentenced to ten years for intentional harm, with the consequences of his actions causing immense ripple effects. Recently, he called me, telling me that the divorce papers had been signed and asking me to come over.After stepping off the stage from receiving my award, I was still in my formal attire as I made my way to see Cedric. Once I took the divorce papers with me, I'd sever all ties and leave everything in the past.When I entered the prison, I spotted him immediately.He looked like a shell of the man he once was, barely holding on to the last remnants of his sanity.When he saw me, tears streamed down his face."Is the divorce agreement finalized?" I asked.Those words crushed the last bit of hope he had. "Can we
