“Tangtang…”

When Lin Gantang heard the weak voice, she was stunned. Her eyes were still filled with tears. She quickly replied, “I’m here. Yanqing, you’re awake.”

“Dad, Yanqing is awake.” Lin Gantang wiped her tears and smiled. At this moment, she was happy.

Wen Yanqing felt her grip on his left hand tightly. He turned his head to the left, closed his eyes, and slowly opened them again.

“The sky.Js dark?” he asked.

Lin Gantang was stumped. She saw his dull eyes and her heart tightened. She stretched out her hand in front of his eyes, but he did not react. Lin Gantang’s joy at him waking slowly turned into anxiety and uneasiness. “Doctor… Dad, call the doctor!”

Wen Yanqing had woken up, but he could no longer see.

The doctor gave a comprehensive examination of his eyes. After the report was out, he came to the ward with a solemn expression. “The patient’s family, please come out for a moment.”

Wen Rendong stood up, and Lin Gantang followed him out. Mr. Wen saw this and advised, “Rest well. It’ll be fine. Don’t worry.”

“Uncle Wen, can you let me listen in too?” Lin Gantang asked.

Wen Rendong couldn’t resist the worry and pleading in her eyes and finally nodded.

“The patient’s head is injured and bleeding. It might be pressing on the optical nerve. Strong external stimulation can also cause serious damage to the eye tissue.” The doctor flipped through the scans. “We have determined that the patient’s retina is bleeding, and there is even vitreous hemorrhage. We recommend surgery.”

Wen Rendong’s heart pounded. “Can he recover his vision?”

“There are risks in all surgeries, and most importantly, the hot air and smoke in a fire can cause blindness. The patient’s condition is a little complicated, so we can’t make any guarantees.” The doctor stated, “If the optical nerve and corneas are irreparably damaged, it will be difficult to recover vision in this case. The possibility of permanent blindness cannot be ruled out.”

“When will the surgery be scheduled?” Wen Rendong asked.

“The hospital will arrange it as soon as possible. I hope your family members can cooperate.”

Wen Rendong followed the doctor to make signatures regarding the details of the surgery. Lin Gantang stood where she was and held on to the wall with her hand. She did not feel anything until her knuckles were white and her nails were broken.

The possibility of permanent blindness could not be ruled out.

Her lips were pale and her face was as ashen as paper. Her eyelashes kept trembling as she stood there without saying a word.

Mr. Lin walked over and said, “Let’s go back to the ward. It’s time for the infusion.”

“It’s my fault,” Lin Gantang said quietly as her tears flowed down her face.

Mr. Lin’s heart ached when he saw her tears.

“It’s my fault. If I hadn’t said that I wanted to get a marriage certificate,” Lin Gantang said, “If I hadn’t said that I was going to wait for him at the bookstore, we wouldn’t have met with the fire at all.”

Lin Gantang’s eyes were red as she scolded herself incoherently. “Why didn’t I listen to him? Why did I ask him to go back to the meeting? He clearly wanted to go home. Why did I say no!”

“Tangtang!” Mr. Lin stopped her from losing control. “He’ll undergo surgery. There’s a chance that he’ll regain his sight. Don’t be like this.”

“It’s my fault. He shouldn’t have been injured. He was so well; because of me, he gets injured again and again!”

In his previous life, he died because of her. Was he going to lose his sight in this life because of her?

If her existence would only put him in danger, then what was the point of her rebirth?

Lin Gantang’s heart ached, and her stomach cramped as she vomited non-stop. Her vision turned black, and she fainted.

Mr.. Lin stepped forward and shouted,”Doctor! Doctor!”
