บททั้งหมดของ MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Gia pushed Raven's wheelchair along the path she had seen from the room earlier. The wheelchair moved smoothly as the path was paved with thin stone slabs set into the ground, creating a flat surface.Her eyes caught sight of a price tag sticking out from the sleeve of her trench coat. Clicking her tongue, Gia pulled off the tag and tossed it away.All the clothes in "their" closet remained brand new, as none of Gia's clothes from Sweden had arrived. According to Raven, the house had beenvacated.The evacuation order had come so suddenly. Sophie and Marlow had only managed to bring a few essential items for Gia, like medical equipment and her supply of medicines.Gia could only accept the dozens of new clothes provided for her. It wasn't that she was ungrateful, but the person who selected the clothes had very different tastes from hers.Gia’s casual wardrobe usually consisted of plain cotton pants and comfortable T-shirts, but nearly all her new clothes were dresses. Some were ankle-

Gia lowered her head, drawing patterns in the sand with her shoe. Her mind was busy trying to push Raven away, but her heart felt touched because she realized that Raven actually cared for her a little.Raven had specifically called the doctor because he was worried about her condition.“Gia, don’t be moved by such a simple act. Any human would do the same when seeing someone sick! He just didn’t want the hassle,” Gia murmured to herself quietly.But despite her warning to herself, Gia could still feel warmth flooding her heart—a happiness born of feeling cared for. Even that small bit of attention was enough to make her feel joy. But that joy was soon followed by pain.Gia squatted down, watching the waves as they recede before they could touch her shoes. She stepped forward, took off her shoes, and deliberately let the cold sea waves wash over her feet, hoping the sting of the cold could help her forget the ache in her heart.“Understand, Gia!”“He will never be yours.”“He lives in

Gia adjusted her skirt once she was comfortably seated. Raven’s wheelchair looked like a throne when Gia was in it, as her petite frame seemed dwarfed by its size."Could you bring this for me? I forgot to change it this morning, and the flowers have all wilted," Sophie said, handing over a vase of flowers from Raven's room. Gia accepted it with a smile.In Katastari, Sophie ensured there were fresh flowers every day for Raven’s room. She felt it suited the beauty of the room, contrasting with the cold, stiff decor of Raven's room in Gothenburg.“Ew!” Gia made a gagging sound as she caught an unpleasant whiff from the vase."Don’t sniff it! The rotten smell of flower stems is very different from the floral scent," Sophie chuckled as Gia held her nose."And now imagine someone pouring the water from a flower vase all over me. I went through a whole bottle of soap trying to get rid of the smell," Raven added,

 "Gia!""Gia, someone’s calling you." Beth touched Gia’s face to get her attention, as Gia didn’t seem to hear the call."Oh!" Gia turned toward the door and saw one of the nurses calling her to hand over some patient files."Just a moment." Gia excused herself from Beth to take the documents."Daydreaming? You look pale, Gia." Beth stroked Gia’s arm as she continued to massage her hand."I was just thinking about something," Gia replied with a reassuring smile.Gia was still not used to being called Gia again. When her mind was blank or she was concentrating, like she had been, she’d often ignore it. Naturally, she was annoyed; this wasn’t the first time it had happened.She still couldn’t fully shake off the impact of the name, even though it had been a month since she’d returned to her normal life as Gia Harken."It seems like you've been very busy since you got back

Gia hummed softly as she spread peanut butter on her toast, then poured herself a glass of apple juice—her favorite. With that, her simple breakfast was ready. Not that she couldn't afford other groceries, but this was all the fridge had.The pies and all the other treats from Sophie were long gone. Neither she nor Rose could cook, so Sophie’s provisions had been a blessing for them both.As Gia savored her breakfast, she mentally committed to purchasing groceries on her way home. She aimed to purchase some vegetables and fruit to enhance the nutritional value of tomorrow's meals. Still humming, she cleaned up her dishes and washed her plate and glass.“Aah!” Gia shrieked as hands suddenly wrapped around her from behind.“Rose… Are you trying to give me a heart attack?” Gia groaned, her heart somersaulting from the surprise.“You’re back…” Rose rubbed her face affectionately agains
