Chapter 259 Temporary Blindness

Rachel lowered her head and spat out the toothpaste foam from her mouth.

At the door behind her, Eric stared at the back of her head, dumbfounded at the sight.

Her glossy black hair had been shaved, and he could see the faint outline of scabs and bruises on her scalp. The back of her head had a gauze attached to it, just so it didn't incur any infections.

Eric's nose twitched as he watched Jack take care of her as if he was treating a child. He took the towel from the rack and helped his wife wipe her mouth.

Before Eric came here, Jonathan had already informed him of Rachel's condition. The doctor had told them that she would temporarily lose her sight due to a clot pressing on one of her visual nerves.

Her vision would be blurred for a while, but it wouldn't be permanent. Today, she would have to go back to Ninwell City for further treatment.

When he thought of how urgent Rachel's condition was, Eric could feel his heart sink.

Uneasy, he turned and walked away.

After waiting outside for a while, Eric saw Jack taking Rachel's hand and assisting her out of the bathroom as cautiously as possible.

Eric couldn't help but feel bad that he wasn't there when she needed him the most.

Rachel's head turned anxiously as she tugged Jack's arm. "Where is he?"

"I'm here," Eric replied.

Jack took Rachel in front of Eric before bringing out a chair for her to sit down. He glanced at his watch. "I'll go downstairs to buy some

.

Although she wasn't ugly, she definitely didn't look her best. Rachel scowled, and he quickly quieted down.

During the time they boarded and got off the plane, Rachel didn't say a word to Eric. Every time she felt him close to her, she would huff and edge away.

Jack had no idea what had happened between them during the time he bought some breakfast.

However, when he saw how careful and silent Eric was around her, he couldn't help but feel amused.

To apologize, Eric quickly bought her a hat.

Rachel took the hat and rubbed her hands around it, trying to get a feel of what it looked like. Eric had good fashion sense. He didn't just buy any hat for Rachel.

Instead, it was a neat baseball hat. It was subtle, and it also fitted her well. Due to this, she chose to forgive him.

When they arrived to Ninwell City, they quickly headed to the hospital.

Being in such a cold and distant environment, Eric wasn't in the mood to laugh around anymore.

There was always something about the smell of disinfectant around hospitals that made people worried and depressed.

The Fu family's bodyguards escorted her out of the car and into a special elevator that was reserved for important guests.

Without another word, they were brought to a private ward.

Everything was personally arranged by Jonathan.

Given his status, the hospital made sure to pay attention to this distinguished guest and make sure she had the best care possible.
