"Can't you just hope for the best? You're going to rid yourself of that good-for-nothing man soon, so I'm positive your illness will be cured," Mike comforted her.
"You don’t have to drag Elliot into everything. It's going to be even more difficult for me to forget him if you keep talking about him," Avery frowned. "And I'm not being pessimistic. I'm just preparing for the worst. If I do become blind in the future, I'd still like to have a happy life."
Mike could feel his head hurting when he heard her say that.
"If you're blind, I won't date anyone in the future. I'll just spend my time taking care of you at home."
"Just hire a nurse for me." "You really have prepared for the worst..."
"Of course. You wouldn't be able to understand how I felt because you've never been blind." The fear Avery experienced when her vision turned pitch black a week ago was something she would not be able to easily forget.
"Tammy's coming to visit you later. Didn't you see the message she sent you?"
"I didn't check my phone."
The doctor told her to avoid looking at her phone as much as possible, so she only treated her phone as a means of keeping track of the time.
She only glanced occasionally at it to check what time it was.
"She called me and said she wanted to hang out with you. I told her it was inconvenient, but she insisted on coming. She's never been this unreasonable before, but she seems to have gotten much more stubborn now that she's pregnant." Mike picked up the water bottle, uncapped it, and took a sip of water.
"She's not being stubborn. I promised her long ago that she can come whenever she wants.”
"I see. Well, she wants to come and see you because she heard that you and Elliot were going to get a divorce. When we talked over the phone, she asked me why you were so hell-bent on separating from him, but I didn't tell her. I'll leave that to you when the time comes!" "Perhaps not here. I'd like a change of scenery! The atmosphere inside this ward is just too depressing." Avery got off the bed. "I'll take a walk with her in the yard below."
