Semua Bab Her Blindness Is a Scam, and I'm the Wallet: Bab 1 - Bab 10

I couldn't even remember how I made it back home.It was a damp and dim rental just under 300 square feet. It was nothing like Evelyn's flashy, over-the-top club.The motion-sensor light outside had been broken for a long time, so the hallway was pitch black.Every time we walked through the hallway, I'd hold Evelyn's hand and count the steps with her. She'd cling to my arm and laugh, saying, "I'm not scared of the dark as long as you're here, Matt."I was already on the couch by the time I came back to my senses. In my hand was a crumpled piece of paper—a corneal donation consent form.Just yesterday, the doctor told me Evelyn's corneas were badly damaged. The chances of her seeing again were slim, unless they found a suitable donor.I signed the consent form without hesitation, planning to give her one of mine.How ridiculous.Just then, I heard the sound of heels outside the door, along with the tap of a cane against the floor.Evelyn was back.I instinctively hid the form

There was only one day left before the bet ended.Early that morning, Evelyn suddenly shook me awake. She was buzzing with excitement when she said, "Matt, I heard there's an underground street race with huge prize money tonight! We'll have enough for the surgery if I win!"Looking at the smile lighting up her face, I felt nothing but a chill deep down.I couldn't understand just why Evelyn was still putting on this act.The bet was almost over. She could've just dumped me. So why make up something like this?"But your eyes… Can you even see the road?" I asked.Evelyn stiffened, then patted her chest confidently. "Don't worry, Matt. I was a professional racer before I lost my sight! The instinct's still there. I could run the whole course with my eyes closed. I have to give it a shot for our future!"For our future? What a beautiful lie.I looked into Evelyn's eyes and nodded instinctively. "Okay."…That afternoon, I followed Evelyn to a racetrack on the outskirts of the cit

Evelyn's mind drifted momentarily.Before her eyes, she seemed to see Matthew's figure, bustling about in their rental apartment. She recalled how he kneeled on the floor to give her a massage, fed her carefully, and haggled over a few bucks with the vegetable vendor.There was also that day, when she thought she saw a figure who looked just like Matthew outside the lounge.Evelyn realized the car was moving too fast by the time she snapped back to reality. She had already missed the perfect moment to slow down and jump.The inertia sent the car slamming right into the guardrail. In that instant, her mind went completely blank.At the edge of life and death, Evelyn's first thought wasn't even survival, but whether Matthew would cry if she really died.The crash was deafening. She felt as if her insides were crushed as the airbags deployed. Countless thoughts crossed her mind in the last moment before she slipped into unconsciousness.Evelyn regretted everything. Once she woke up

Third-Person POVEvelyn was finally able to get out of bed a month later. She still needed crutches, but she couldn't wait any longer.She insisted on getting discharged, ignoring Lewis' attempts to stop her and even getting into a huge fight with him.She had to see Matthew. She wanted to tell him that she was alive, that she regretted everything, and that she wanted to live an honest life with him.As Evelyn stood in front of the door to the familiar rental apartment, leaning on her crutches, she felt an unexpected wave of nerves.She straightened her clothes and took a deep breath before knocking. No one answered."Matt, it's me, Eve! I'm back!" she called.Still, there was no answer.The unease in Evelyn's chest grew heavier. Her knocks grew louder, and she even started pounding on the door.The door finally opened, but it wasn't Matthew.A middle-aged woman stood there, looking at her warily. "Who are you looking for?"Evelyn froze, instinctively glancing inside. The in

Evelyn didn't give up. She covered the area outside Matthew's dorm with roses, waited for him at the cafeteria entrance, and stood outside the library for hours.It drove Matthew crazy, but there was nothing he could do about it.Then all of a sudden, rumors about him started spreading around campus.Some said he was a kept man, while others claimed he used to be a gigolo. The rumors sounded detailed and convincing.There were even so-called photos as proof. While they were blurry and the person in it merely had a build similar to Matthew's, it was enough to ruin his reputation.He was called in by his advisor and faced the possibility of being expelled again.Evelyn was furious when she found out. She used her family's connections to investigate, only to be shocked by what she found.The one behind the rumors was Lewis.And worse, she uncovered the real reason Matthew had been expelled during his junior year.Back then, he'd turned down a rich girl, and her boyfriend ended
