After dinner, Jessie goes back to the bedroom and waits for Leigh. But Leigh doesn't show up.
The servant comes over and asks, "Mr. Leigh is busy in the study. Mrs. Leigh, do you need a bath?"
Jessie refuses, "I know the layout of the bathroom. I'll wash up later."
"Alright."
There is no cell phone or TV for entertainment, and Jessie can't see anything. She doesn't know what to do, so she sits on the bed and ponders for a while. Then she gropes her way to the bathroom for a bath.
An hour later, she comes out of the bathroom the same way.
She accidentally bumps her toes against the cabinet. The severe pain makes Jessie take a deep breath and slowly squat down.
Perhaps being blind would be disastrous for others. But Jessie has been blind for so long, so she has become numb.
As for her now, it might be the best if she could not see.
Suddenly, Jessie remembers the conversation with Chace that day.
"I sent someone to investigate and just received the news that one person died of serious injuries in the hospital and the other had a car accident. Their ashes are placed in the funeral parlor."
No! It is impossible!
Jessie feels dizzy and almost falls to the ground. Her entire body trembles and she forces herself not to think about that.
Her uncle and aunt must be alive.
It is Leigh who is afraid that she would run away again and hides her uncle and aunt. As long as she obeys his order obediently, Leigh would definitely let her uncle and aunt visit her tomorrow.
Jessie only has two relatives alive, her uncle and aunt. So she could not lose them.
Jessie tells herself that Leigh is just joking with her. She could see her uncle and aunt tomorrow. She calms down, goes to bed, and falls asleep.
But Jessie has waited for a long time, and Leigh has never been to the bedroom.
While she is sleeping, the servant knocks on the door and asks, "Do you need to go downstairs for breakfast, Mrs. Leigh?"
Is it morning already?
Jessie replies to the servant, gropes toward the bathroom to wash up, and then walks out of the bedroom.
As she goes downstairs slowly, she asks, "Has Mr. Leigh come down yet?"
Leigh has sat down in the dining hall. He sees Jessie groping on the escalator and slowly descending. The steps are high. He is afraid that she will fall down, so he stands up and quickly walks over to help her.
"If you can't do it, let the servants help you. Don't be rash," Leigh says.
Jessie agrees.
Jessie settles down. Then Leigh asks her to raise her head and help her with eye drops.
They don't talk to each other while eating.
Under normal circumstance, Leigh is easy to get angry with her and then he will please her for her forgiveness.
Leigh seems to have been quiet since he threw his chopsticks last night, which makes Jessie at a loss.
After breakfast, Jessie screws up her courage to say, "Yesterday you said..."
"I still remember what I said." Leigh looks at her with a complicated expression, "I'll call your uncle and ask if they're coming."
At that moment, Jessie's dim eyes light up. She is a little excited.
She knows that her uncle and aunt are not dead!
Jessie grabs her dress and sits nervously, thinking about what she wants to tell her uncle later.
Suddenly, her hand is stuffed with a phone.
