Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 394

Chapter 394 Regain Your Vision

After staying in the hospital for a few days, it was finally time for Amelia’s bandages to be removed.

James instructed for the curtains to be closed, just in case the sunlight was too blinding for Amelia’s eyes after the bandages were removed.

He said, “Amelia, I’m removing the bandages now. Don’t worry, okay?”

Amelia gripped the corners of her hospital gown, feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness. She nodded slowly. “Okay.”

James removed the bandages for her carefully, layer by layer. When everything was gone, he smiled and declared, “Open your eyes slowly, Amelia. Can you see anything?”

Amelia opened her eyes. A ray of light slipped through the gap between her eyelids, causing her to close them instinctively before opening them again.

“Amelia, can you see my hand?” asked James as he raised his hand and waved it in front of her.

Smiling, she waved her hand excitedly, too. “Oscar! I can finally see! I can see again!”

Oscar grabbed her hand and said, “Don’t be too excited, Amelia.”

She breathed in deeply and calmed herself down, trying to adjust to this new vision that she had been deprived of for two years. Having seen the sunlight after living in utter darkness for years, she felt a bitter feeling wash over her. She suddenly had the urge to cry out of happiness.

James reminded, “Amelia, since your eyes have just recovered, it’s best if you stay away from gadgets with a lot of radiation, such as phones, televisions, and laptops. You must make sure to give your eyes enough rest and not tire them out, okay?”

Amelia nodded.

“Take your time to adjust. I’ll visit my patients in the other wards, and I’ll come back later,” said James with a smile as he grabbed the patient list.

Just when Amelia stood up from the bed to send James off, he protested, “Amelia, there’s no need to be so polite. Just stay where you are! You don’t have to stand on ceremony with me. It’ll only make us seem like strangers, no?”

Amelia smiled gently and stopped insisting on sending James out.

After James left, Amelia scrutinized Oscar carefully.

As she stroked his face, tears welled up in her eyes. A complex feeling engulfed her as she remarked hoarsely, “You’ve lost weight, Oscar.” Even though it had been two years since she last saw him and he had lost weight, he seemed even more masculine to her.

Oscar placed his hand over hers and said, “So, do you like me better now, or do you like me better then?”

Laughing, Amelia said, “Regardless of how you look like, I’ll still like you.”

Oscar hugged her waist, his breath brushed against her cheek, tickling her.

“Really?” he asked.

Amelia blushed. Although two years had passed, Oscar was still able to elicit such a huge reaction from her, making her heart beat rapidly.

Cough! Tiffany, who was acting as the third-wheel, cleared her throat on purpose.

Only then did Amelia realize that there were other people in the ward as well.

She shoved Oscar away gently, her cheeks burning even more. She had been so distracted by his handsome profile that she actually forgot about her best friend.

Tiffany strode forward and shoved Oscar aside. Hugging Amelia, she exclaimed happily, “Babe, congratulations on regaining your vision! The gorgeous girl I know has finally returned!”

Amelia returned her hug, feeling moved. Were it not for Tiffany’s presence over the past two years, she would not have gotten over the depression of being blind so quickly.

She said gratefully, “Thank you for your constant company over the past two years, Tiffany. I’m genuinely grateful for everything that you’ve done for me. If you weren’t with me, I wouldn’t have pulled it through all the hardship. With an amazing friend like you, I’m eternally satisfied.”

Tiffany’s eyes reddened. Patting Amelia’s hand, she said through sobs, “Stop it! It’s a joyous occasion now that you can see again. Stop saying these cheesy words and making us cry.”

Amelia laughed.

Letting go of Tiffany’s hands, Amelia cupped her cheeks and said, “Let me see how you’ve changed.” After scrutinizing Tiffany’s face for a while, she chuckled and said, “You’ve lost some weight, but you’ve become even more gorgeous now. Looks like you’re having an amazing time dating someone.”

“Nonsense! Derrick even complained that I rarely dress up. And that I’m becoming uglier,” claimed Tiffany.

Amelia glanced at Derrick. It had been two years since she saw his handsome and androgynous face, and the sight of him still made her heart skip a beat.

He’s so beautiful that he doesn’t seem like a human at all!

“Compared to Derrick, we’re just like peasants. He has the right to say that we’re ugly,” agreed Amelia as she nodded.
