"Gwen, what happened to you?"
When her colleagues saw her fall to the ground, they immediately went over to help her up.
The girl kept shaking her head and slapping herself. I-I feel like my vision is starting to get blurry."
"Are you too tired? Go home and rest."
"Maybe..."
At this moment, Jordan had long dozed off in the hotel room.
The next morning, Salvatore knocked a few times on the hotel room door before entering upon realizing that Jordan wasn't answering.
"Mr. Jordan, Mr. Jordan, wake up, it's time for us to set off and head back to DC," Salvatore called out to Jordan a few times before he woke up slowly, only to feel like he was in darkness.
"What time is it?"
Jordan asked.
Salvatore said, "It's already eight in the morning."
Jordan said, "Open the curtains. Why is it so dark in here?"
Stunned, Salvatore's brows wrinkled somewhat after hearing those words. He turned his head and looked at the window. He had just opened the curtains! At this moment, the sunlight had already shone in. It was bright enough even without the lights on.
Salvatore suddenly had a hunch that something was wrong. "Mr. Jordan... do you find the room... a little dark?"
Jordan said, "It's not just dark, I can't see anything at all. Are the hotel curtains the kind that are so thick that they block out all light? If it's eight in the morning, there's no reason for it to be so dark even if the curtains are closed. Is it still nighttime?"
Salvatore was stunned. He swallowed some saliva and frantically scurried over to switch on the lights in the hotel room!
"Mr... Mr. Jordan, how about now?" Salvatore asked fearfully.
There were instantly goosebumps all over Jordan's body! He had just heard the sound of Salvatore turning on the lights, but after the lights were turned on, Jordan still felt that everything in front of him was pitch dark!
"Oh shit!"
Jordan instantly realized that there was nothing wrong with the lighting but rather, it was his vision that had gone wrong!
Salvatore too walked over in fear and asked, "Mr. Jordan, don't scare me. I've already turned on all the lights. Surely you can still see something, right?"
By now, Salvatore was on the verge of tears but Jordan was extremely serious as he constantly recalled the events of the past 24 hours.
The greater the crisis he was in, the more he was able to stay calm.
Salvatore's voice trembled as he asked, "Mr. Jordan, I've been by your side to protect you since the celebration started and I haven't seen anyone do anything to you. When I look at your eyes now, there are no signs of injury. They look just like normal, so why can't you see anything? Could it be transient blindness that's triggered by excessive emotions?"
Jordan was still trying to recall what happened last night. Although he had drunk a lot of wine, he had long gotten used to drinking with willpower. Hence, most people would forget what they did while they were drunk, upon waking up the second day.
However, such a thing did not exist for Jordan.
Due to his strong and tenacious willpower that forced him to stay awake to a certain extent at all times, Jordan could also recall what happened last night.
"Last night... I remember that on the way back, my eyes started hurting so I dozed off as soon as I returned.
Before the celebration began, there wasn't such an issue with my eyes. That means that someone made a move against me during the celebration!"
