Weston instantly stepped forward to help her. âWhatâs wrong?â
He asked with concern, âAre you feeling unwell?â
His frantic possessiveness had now morphed into cautiousness and worry.
Stella flicked his hand away. âIâm fine. Itâs just a slight headache.â
âIs it because of your eyes?â
Weston saw Stella pressing at the spot on her temple near her eyes. She probably had a headache because of the optic nerve.
His face turned dark at that thought. âLetâs go to the hospital,â Weston said and picked her up immediately.
âNo. Itâs late already. Besides, Iâm not in a lot of painâ¦â
Stella tugged the hem of his shirt and tried to stop him by instinct, but Weston was so anxious that he simply ignored her and summoned Joan directly. âGet the car right away.â
Joan was startled to see Weston speaking suddenly, not knowing how to react.
Weston explained with a frown, âShe knows.â
Joanâs face changed at once. She glanced at Stella with some apprehension and contacted the driver without questioning further.
Soon, Weston and Stella arrived at the hospital. Weston strode into the doctorâs office and followed Stella closely.
The doctor examined Stella and explained, âSheâll likely regain her sight soon. Iâve just checked the blood clots in her brain. Theyâre dissipating. If we observe for a little while longer, we may be able to perform the operation and help her see again.â
Stella trembled slightly. Weston sensed the change in her emotions and put his arm around her waist to reassure her. âWhatâs the matter? Are you scared?â
Stella shook her head. âIâm not. I just never thought this day would come so soon.â
Being blind was not easy. The feeling of being unable to see was something only Stella understood.
Stella was already disappointed with her condition and thought it would take a long time before she could regain her sight, but she did not expect this day to come so soon. Although a little unprepared, she looked forward to it very much.
The operation was scheduled quickly. Stella was so caught up in the excitement of seeing Emma and Elias again that she failed to notice anything wrong with the man beside her.
Soon, Stella was wheeled into the operating room. Weston waited outside the whole time.
Ben rushed over as soon as he got the news. He was keen to sense Westonâs paleness. When he came over and noticed a strong smell of blood, his face changed. âMr. Ford, are you okay?â
Weston frowned and gestured to him to keep quiet.
Ben was a little anxious. âYouâre not entirely recovered. Did it get worse?â
Weston raised his eyebrows and warned him, âKeep quiet. Wait until her surgery is over.â
Seeing that, Ben knew Westonâs stubbornness and had no choice but to wait. Hence, after a good while, Stella was finally wheeled out of the operating room. Weston had w stayed outside throughout the entire threeâhour operation.
Ben found it hard to believe. He knew Weston loved Stella a lot, but it was a little unbelievable knowing his love for her had gone to such a crazy extent.
Ben watched Weston stand up. His first reaction was to ask the doctor, âHow is she doing?â
âThe patient is recovering well. Sheâll be awake once the anesthesia wears off.â
Weston finally opened his hands and let out a relieved sigh.
