Why was it that Eric did not feel like Selena was his even when she was lying beside him?
Eric did not sleep all night.
The next day, when the doctors from the specialist team came to check on Eric, Selena was still asleep.
Eric could see the light source out of the corner of his eye last night.
Thus, the specialists had to know of this change in vision.
Two hours later, the team of specialists breathed a sigh of relief.
“Mr. Ferguson, your eyes have improved after just one month. This is a very good sign. You can use your left eye properly, and the blood clot in your right eye has begun to dissipate. You’ll probably regain your eyesight in a few days. However, your right eye socket still needs proper care. You must not bump into anything hard. Otherwise, the fracture will worsen.”
Eric nodded slightly.
The specialist smiled. “By the way, where is Ms. Nelson? She must be very happy if she knows this!”
Every time before the consultation, Selena would wander around and worry about this and that.
Naturally, everyone had a deeper impression of her.
Eric lowered his eyes and said in a light voice, “She’s still sleeping.”
Everyone looked at each other.
It was hard not to let their imaginations run wild.
Soon, Selena woke up at 10:30 am.
She slept until now.
Fortunately, she slept soundly, so she recovered her energy.
Selena yawned. There was no one around.
She had always known that Eric had an endless supply of energy.
Selena was in a spaghetti-strap dress. She did not know how Eric fumbled around and helped her to get changed, but it was not surprising.
She went to the bathroom to wash her face.
When her fingers touched her face, she suddenly felt something cold.
She looked down and saw a beautifully designed and sparkling diamond ring on her ring finger.
A diamond ring?
Selena frowned. She could not remember when she wore it on her hand.
She did not drink much last night, so she was conscious.
Was it this morning?
Selena’s heart suddenly sank.
The gifts Eric gave her included luxury bags, diamond necklaces, and other things. Although she did not use them often, they were all kept in the dressing room of the villa.
Selena admired those things but never used them.
There was no occasion for her to show up with jewelry that was worth millions of dollars.
Selena paused, took off the ring, put it on the table outside, and went back to continue washing up.
She had a clear understanding and self-awareness.
Selena told herself that she did not want to think about marriage.
If she did not expect too much from Eric, then she would not be disappointed.
This was what she learned.
She would not take Eric’s actions seriously, whether it was because of a whim or because he wanted to make it up to her.
When she finished washing up, she changed her clothes and planned to go out.
The bar would close soon, and the staff placement during this time still needed to be dealt with.
Although Chaz would handle everything, Selena should at least show her face.
She was leaving with her bag when Eric came in.
His left eye recovered very well, so taking off his special dark sunglasses did not affect his sight at all.
The specialists replaced his sunglasses with a special lens.
On the surface, there was no difference between the lenses.
However, Eric’s left eye could already see clearly, but his right eye could not.
Thus, he wanted to surprise her with a smile on his lips.
When he saw that Selena was about to go out, he was slightly taken aback.
