âPrincess, weâve got a contact in place. You get some rest now, and youâll have a new cornea in three days.â
The woman muttered forlornly, âMy cornea is damaged?â
âYes, Your Highness,â her guard replied.
âItâs not a problem, Xiao Rou. Weâve already found a donor. Soon, youâll be able to see again.â
âIâm not doing it.â
âWhat are you talking about, Xiao Rou?â
âPrincess!â Jing Xinze could not believe his ears either.
She snapped with a glare, âI donât want anyone elseâs cornea.â
âXiao Rou, donât be stubborn. Your cornea is severely damaged and needs to be changed. Otherwise, youâll lose your eye.â
Severely damaged...
Hatred welled up in her heart when she heard those words. Itâs that d*mned womanâs fault! Itâs all because of Ye Erruo! She is the reason Iâm going blind now! She has to pay for the damage she caused!
Gu Feirou added eerily, âI donât want anyone elseâs cornea. I only want my own or the cornea of the person who caused me this pain!â
Jing Xinze was shocked to hear that. âPrincess, tell me honestly. Did someone try to harm you?â
He had not been inside the hall when the incident had happened. By the time he had gone in, she had already been lying on the floor injured.
The woman looked away expressionlessly. âI donât want somebody elseâs cornea.â
Her personal guard blamed himself excessively. The queen had handed the princess over to him, yet a momentary lapse had caused her to lose one eye. How was he going to answer to the queen?
âAlright!â he answered with strong affirmation.
âWhoever caused this to the princess will have to pay with their eye!â
Lin Jingxuan, who was beside her, held her hand and said, âXiao Rou, Iâll get you whatever you want.â
Lukewarm tears instantly rolled down the corner of her eyes when she heard that. Clinging onto his arm, she lamented. âBrother Jingxuan, it was that b*tch, Ye Erruo! Sheâs the one who harmed me. She kicked me and caused me to fall, so I was unable to take cover. Thatâs how I got cut by a broken piece of crystal.â
Jing Xinzeâs face darkened even more when he heard Ye Erruoâs name. It was that woman again? This isnât the first or second time she has caused distress to the royal princess.
2She even dared to scheme against the princess today?
Well, well, well... Weâll see about that!
Lin Jingxuan had an unfathomable look in his eyes. âXiao Ruo? Did she kick you?â
When she heard him refer to her nemesis so intimately, her fists tightened unconsciously. âYes, it was her!â
âPrincess, donât get agitated. You better rest first.â Jing Xinze was very mindful of her health and constitution.
âYoung Master Lin, can I have a word with you?â
Lin Jingxuan shot a puzzled look at the guard before turning to Gu Feirou. âXiao Rou, you lie down and rest for now. Iâll come over to check on you later.â
The woman pursed her lips and lay down on the bed without replying.
Outside the hospital room...
âWhatâs wrong?â
âMaster Lin, I was told that Ye Erruo was your former girlfriend.â
âYes, what about that?â The man did not intend to hide this fact.
âThat woman has caused damage to the princessâs eye. You have to bear part of the responsibility.â
âWhat do you mean by that?â The man fired back a question frigidly.
âYou want to be with the princess only because you need her for your power struggle over the Linsâ inheritance. You have another woman out there who looks exactly like your former girlfriend. Do you think I donât know that?â Jing Xinze told him off chillingly.
The other man became even more hostile. âWhat are you trying to tell me?â
âYou want to make use of Blue Towerâs power to win the Lin empire but you canât forget that woman. How do you think the princess will feel if she finds out?â
âI donât know what you are talking about. My heart only belongs to Xiao Rou. Who are you, a mere servant, to doubt my sincerity?â
The guard sneered, âYoung Master Lin, Iâll give you two options: You can either get that womanâs cornea using your own means, forget her, and treat our princess well, or...ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
