Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 310

I did not allow Jenny to tell Darius about my eyes. If he found out, he would spread the news, and everyone would come to visit me. Then, Christopher might find out that I was still alive, and all our efforts would have been in vain.

I left Christopher because I did not want him to know anything about me anymore.

Yeringham was very far away from Avenport. One was in the north and the other in the south; the two locations were two thousand kilometers apart. I was very certain that Christopher would not be able to find me here.

Meanwhile, Jenny was very concerned about me stopping my cancer medications. She sat down next to me with my medicine in her hand and asked, “Ms. Tanner, what will happen if you don’t take your medicine? Is recovering your eyesight worth the risk?”

“Jenny, you know as well as I do that my illness has no cure. Why don’t we choose the treatment that will actually heal something?” I touched the bandage on my eyes and smiled. “How wonderful would it be to see again. I can look at the beautiful marigolds blooming in the town, go down to the beach to watch the fishes swim, and gaze at the rising sun. It’s inevitable that I’ll die soon, but it’ll be amazing to be able to enjoy the beauty of this world before I have to leave it behind.”

Jenny fell silent instantly when she heard what I said. I knew that she was upset right then. Besides, I could hear her sniffling to herself quietly at the back.

“Please don’t cry. There are many beautiful things in this world to be enjoyed and explored, like the innocence of young children. You know what? Let’s go to the schoolgrounds! I like to spend time with the kids.”

There was only one school in this small town where children and teenagers of all ages went to. They were there even on Sundays. When I arrived, the children were gathered around a man who was telling them a story. The man had a soft voice, as gentle as the ocean breeze that was caressing my cheeks. He sounded quite familiar. It was like I had heard his voice somewhere before.

“Then, Snow White and her prince lived happily ever after. The moral of the story is that happiness is always right in front of you. You kids must do well in school, alright? Cherish your lives!”

“Mister, tell us another story! I want to hear the story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves!”

“Ah, the pretty lady is here too! Tell us a story too, Miss!” One of the children noticed my presence and called out to me.
