Lily understood that Teresa wouldn't rebuke Arvin and Angela's union any more. Lily nodded, full of pleasure, and said, "Before you invite Angela to our home, I'll go to the Yin Family house, accompanied by Arvin of course, and tell them that Arvin has fallen head over heels in love with Angela now."
Rosa had disappeared for so many years and now Arvin had a personal right to pursue his own happiness.
"Okay. But what about Sansa?" Sansa was Rosa's mother. She had become intolerable after being driven insane when Rosa dropped off the radar.
After a moment's consideration, Lily said, "We still have to push forward for the love birds' sake. We will have to try."
During these years when Rosa was technically a ghost, Arvin had always been concerned about the Yin Family, even if only superficially.
During every festival and event, Arvin would go to Rosa's parents' home to accompany them, and make sure things were alright.
Whenever Rosa's family needed any help, Arvin was always the first one to give them a hand.
...
It was eleven o'clock at night when they returned to Shengfeng Mansion. Angela reluctantly finished bathing, with the help of Arvin's soothing hands.
With eyes sheltered over a bandage, Angela felt a strange lack of security. She couldn't see the world, or her beloved Arvin.
She had been grasping Arvin's hand tightly since they returned home blind. Whenever she couldn't hear his voice close by, she would get nervous and call his name, "Arvin! Arvin! Big Wing... Big Wing..."
Arvin put down the pot in his hand quickly and brought a glass of lukewarm water to the bedroom.
Seeing that she was fumbling in the air randomly, he walked towards her and grasped her hands gently, "I'm here," he told her.
His short answer pacified her mood immediately.
"Where were you just now? Why did you leave for such a long time?" Angela inquired of him. Although Shengfeng Mansion was situated downtown, it was perfectly insulated against sound and people weren't able to hear any of the strange noises emanating from the apartments' rooms. She couldn't hear the sound Arvin made. The room was so quiet. She felt scared when Arvin left for even a few seconds just to retrieve a simple glass of water. All she heard to announce his visit was his footsteps coming towards her.
Arvin embraced her with one hand and held the water with another hand. "I went to pour a glass of water for you. Now drink it," he told her. He poured the water into her mouth gently. "Drink it slowly," he said.
After drinking a little water, Angela asked him, "Can I remove the bandage tomorrow?" She felt anxious when she couldn't see the world.
"Yes, you can. But you need to wear sunglasses," he answered. Her eyes had almost recovered their sight, but her skin around her eyes were still a little swollen.
Luckily he had prepared several pairs of sunglasses for her.
"But we are not allowed to work with sunglasses. So what should I do tomorrow?" In this way, her ugly eyes would be seen by everyone she worked closely with.
Arvin lay down beside her and hugged her with both his arms. A big wide manly hug. "You don't need to work tomorrow. I have asked Kent to ask for permission to leave form for you," Arvin replied to her.
Uh... 'I don't need to work?' Angela thought about this for a moment, then she said, "Fine. But I want to wander around the city tomorrow."
She suddenly remembered that Nancy had promised to bring her breakfast tomorrow morning, but she wouldn't be there tomorrow, so she decided to call Nancy to scrap this plan.
She took out her cellphone and gave it to Arvin. Arvin found Nancy's phone number quickly and dialed for Angela.
In Stanley's apartment
Nancy was going to put fruits on the desk in front of Darren, "Darren, eat some fruits!" she said to Darren.
"Thank you Auntie Nancy!" Darren replied her. Then he held up a fork and was ready to eat all the fruits put in front of him.
However, someone didn't give him this chance.
