Zara pressed eagerly, “What do you mean?”

Kenny glanced at her, pursed his lips, and replied, “The last time I knew about his condition, the doctors said he could see at night. So, he has to wear those special dark lenses just to barely maintain everyday vision. If he’s exposed to full white light, then he’s basically blind. But I don’t know how severe it’s gotten recently.
“If I’m right, Micah lied about being blind because he didn’t want you to be disappointed. After all, his eyes will go completely blind sooner or later. It’s better to tell you from the start he’s blind than have you suffer later when his condition worsens.”
Oriana’s voice was hoarse on the phone. “He never told me any of this.”
Kenny gave a bitter smile, tugging at the corner of his mouth. “Of course not. Micah never intended to tell you. That’s why, in the beginning, he only wanted two years.
“He wanted to be with you for two years and make it a beautiful memory for the rest of his life. That way, he’d have a reason to give you money and even more to support you! Plus, you wouldn’t be stuck in that painful situation with Grant cheating on you.
“I don’t know how you found out about Micah’s secret. I don’t know if you’ve come clean to him or argued with him about it. But please, can you give Micah a chance?”
Even Zara, who had steeled her heart, couldn’t help but soften a little.
Still, she was doubtful. “A chance? But can you guarantee Micah will be honest and open with Oriana?”
Kenny pressed his lips together. “If neither of you trusts Micah or me, then go check out his secret little
room!”
Zara paused. “You mean that place in his room where no one’s allowed? That could put Oriana in danger. What if Micah flies off the handle?”
Kenny shook his head. “No way. Even if Oriana burned that place.to the ground, Micah wouldn’t get mad.”
He paused, then turned toward the phone. Oriana hadn’t said a word since earlier, but Kenny knew she was still listening.
Usually rebellious, Kenny spoke now with unprecedented humility.
“I’m telling you this not to make you soften toward Micah or excuse his secrets. But please, give him one more chance–one chance for you to truly understand him.
“I’ve been honest with you. Micah will probably be mad at me, maybe even cut me off. But at this point, I
don’t care if he hates me to the core.
“Why don’t you come back to Caldwell Estate, go to Micah’s bedroom, and check out that little secret room? Then you can think carefully about how to face him.”

Chapter 557 The Secret
Oriana faked an excuse to William and rushed to Caldwell Estate.
While contacting William, she asked him about Kenny’s information on Micah’s illness.
William was silent for a long moment, then sighed deeply. “You know already, huh?”
“Mr. Harris, you know too,” Oriana said bitterly.
Everyone knew, but Micah only hid it from her.
Why? Am I really so unworthy of trust or being confided in?

“I didn’t know much about his illness earlier, but by the time I got to know him, it had become very serious, There’s still no complete cure in medicine. Some treatments might help, but the process is painful and carries huge risks.”
William’s voice was steady. “He didn’t want to tell you because he was afraid you’d worry.”
He was afraid I’d worry.
William and Kenny said the same thing.
