Agnes' Awakening: From Zero to His Whole World novel Chapter 389

After speaking, Agnes didn't forget to wink at Carmen.

Carmen's smile slowly faded a little as she stared off at Agnes in a daze.

Agnes immediately panicked, thinking she had said something wrong.

Then she remembered something. During that trip to the island, Carmen had once mentioned she had a past relationship.

And when she had asked about it back then, Carmen had looked a little sad.

Agnes's heart tightened. She instinctively felt her joke might have touched a painful memory.

She quickly apologized. "I'm sorry, Carmen. I was just joking.

"I'll come spend time with you whenever I'm free, okay?"

Carmen snapped back to herself. A faint smile returned to her lips.

"Alright then. You said it, Agnes. Don't break your promise."

Raymond recovered very well and was discharged soon after. He still chose to live in the seaside villa.

Ever since he lost his sight, that place had become his favorite.

Even though he couldn't see, the sound of the sea always calmed his restless heart.

His mind kept circling back to Carmen's words.

Back on the island, Neal had risked his life to give Agnes his oxygen mask.

How far had their relationship gone? Had Agnes developed feelings for him?

Raymond had been depressed for a long time, gloomy and withdrawn every day.

Whenever Agnes came to see him, he always deliberately acted cold.

He wanted to ask, but he couldn't bring himself to. Who was he to ask anyway?

And yet Agnes showed genuine concern for him. She had been more active than anyone in helping him find corneas.

Was she doing all that because she still had feelings for him?

Or was it just like Carmen said, that she simply didn't want to owe him anything?

Everything was observed by Clara, who remained at the villa as a caregiver.

In her eyes, Raymond seemed unhappy every time Agnes came.

That woman is really shameless. Mr. Newton clearly doesn't want to see her. He even seems annoyed just looking at her.

And yet she keeps clinging to him, making things worse for him.

Clara grew increasingly diligent, trying hard to impress Raymond.

She didn't just do her caregiving duties anymore—she took care of everything in the villa.

Ever since the incident with her perfume almost getting her fired, she had been trying everything to redeem her image in Raymond's eyes.

She ordered the servants to clean the entire villa thoroughly inside and out.

Then, she personally cleaned and disinfected Raymond's room from top to bottom with meticulous care.

Everything was prepared perfectly, just to welcome Raymond back after his successful surgery.

No one in the world cared for Raymond better than she did.

It's basically a plot straight out of a novel—the soft nurse who can't escape. The Dominant CEO loves me fiercely!

She wore a huge diamond ring, and she was holding Raymond's arm intimately.

Wherever they went, the servants would bow respectfully.

All of them would call her "Mrs. Newton."

At that thought, Clara couldn't stop giggling in excitement.

This sudden fortune would eventually be hers.

The car slowly stopped at the entrance of the villa. Clara dashed out.

She saw Eden step out first and quickly walk around to open the back door respectfully.

Clara's smile froze instantly when she saw a woman get out of the car.

It was Agnes—the woman she hated most.

Agnes carefully helped Raymond out of the car.

What infuriated Clara even more was that Raymond was holding Agnes's hand tightly the entire time.

His eyes were covered with a white bandage, but his lips carried a faint, pleased smile. He seemed to be in a very good mood.

"Be careful. There's a step here..." Agnes reminded him softly.

But Raymond deliberately took a big step forward, pretending to stumble.

She hurriedly wrapped an arm around his waist, stopping him from falling. Her voice rose in urgency.

"Hey, be careful! I told you there's a step ahead. Why are you walking so fast?"
