Chapter 72
He began, “Indeed, she was a young girl, around sixteen or seventeen years old. At that time, she ran over and said she wanted to remove her own corneas. It frightened me, and I tried to persuade her not to do anything foolish. She seemed very anxious, insisting on saving someone.”
“You know as well, no matter how much doctors want to save lives, we can’t make a living person blind, especially when the patient is only visually impaired and not in life–threatening danger. It would be absurd to do something like that.”
“The hospital director was there at the time and scolded the girl before having the security take her away.”
“I thought she had left after that, but to my surprise, a few days later, the hospital director called me into his office and said he wanted me to remove the corneas off someone.”
“I thought we were going to remove them from a deceased person, but when I entered the operating room, I found out it was the same girl.”
“I don’t know what methods she used, but she managed to force the hospital director to agree to do it.”
“The hospital director repeatedly assured me that this matter wouldn’t implicate me. He just wanted me to do the procedure and keep my mouth shut, never telling anyone.”
The sound of ice clinking against the glass filled the room as the doctor took a gulp of water mid–sentence. A decade had passed since the incident, but he still felt a deep sense of guilt and unease when he thought about it.
“I had no choice. You also know that the director of a private hospital is also the boss. How could I not obey him?
So…
The doctor dared not miss lan’s expression as he spoke. He saw lan bowing his head, furrowing his brows, and unknowingly clenching his fingers into fists.
His expression was extremely solemn!
This made the doctor’s heart skip a beat, and he didn’t dare to continue his story.
“What happened afterward?” After a while, lan asked.
His voice was still calm, but it was evident that his emotions were not right.
The doctor couldn’t figure out fan’s thoughts, so he didn’t dare to go against his wishes and continued, “Later… the girl… perhaps you don’t know, but removing corneas is a high–risk surgery, especially when performed on a living person, and it had never been done before.”
“The girl kept insisting on us to preserve part of her corneas at all costs, so I…”
“Result!” lan interrupted impatiently.

The male doctor trembled and sat up right. He quickly ania. The girl fell into a coma due to infection during the operation and we thought we thought
Even though it had been so many years, the male doctor still felt terrified when thinking back in that time, and beachs of sweat appeated on his forehand.
“At that time, the timens had already been removed, and if we didn’t rush for another operation, it would be a waste. The hospital director had no choice but to send the comes to the hospital designated by the girl in advance.”
Fortunately, the girl had left relevant information with the hospital director, otherwise, it would have been much
“Did she… wake up?” lan’s entire body tensed when he heard about the girl falling into a coma
The doctor nodded. “She woke up three days later. It was a dangerous situation, and the hospital director didn’t let anyone else know. During that time, it was me, him, and a nurse taking care of her. You don’t know how afraid on were, we were worried that something terrible might happen.”
She woke up eventually, to everyone’s relief, and she didn’t sue any of us afterward. Shortly after waking up, she left on her own.” The doctor patted his chest; this was probably the most perilous thing he had ever experienced in his
life.
lan’s expression only eased slightly when he heard that the girl had awakened,
“What did the girl ask the director to do with the corneas? What was her name?” Ian approached this matter with
“She asked the director to give the corneas to a person named lan. As for the girl herself, her information di include her full name; she only wrote down the name Sherry.”
“Sherry?” Ian’s eyes widened as he looked at the doctor.
In the next moment, he grabbed the doctor’s arm tightly and asked, “Where’s the information? Where is it? Show it
to me!
Sherry’s perspective
Starlight Ophthalmology Hospital
Fredrica was supporting me as we walked in from the entrance.
“I’m fine, don’t support me,” I said, feeling a bit embarrassed. I quickly glanced around at all the curious looks we were getting and pulled my arm out of Fredrica’s hold. After all, I only had one eye with impaired vision; it’s not like I was completely blind. It just felt really awkward to be supported like that.
“You dare say that!” Fredrica was still fuming. She’d practically dragged me here for an examination. Of course, she hadn’t told my dad about it. If he knew that his precious daughter had given up the cornea of one eye, I can’t even imagine how sad he’d be
“To remove the cornea is such a huge deal, and you just went ahead and did it without a second thought. You’re

really something! Was it all for lan? You were willing to risk your life for him!” Fredrien kept ranting at me, and I could tell she was really frustrated.
Ismiled helplessly and gently nigged at Fredrica’s clothes. “Don’t be angry. It was a one–time thing, and it won’t happen again.”
There won’t be another time!” Tredrica was so mad that she almost raised her fist to hit me.
After she’d let out all that anger, Fredrica suddenly seemed to get choked up. Tears welled up in her eyes. “That scumbag lan, you sacrificed one eye for him, but he can’t even give you a little bit of love. He deserves to be struck by lightning and die!”
“Alright, don’t curse anymore,” I said gently as I held Fredrica’s hand. “I made this choice on my own, and I didn’t tell him about it. Besides, we were married for four years, and during that time, I probably made him miserable and angry too. So, we can kind of balance things out.”
“Balance what? He’s been having it easy for the past four years, while you’ve gone through so much hardship and loss.” Fredrica said, and her tears just couldn’t be held back any longer and started falling.
She wasn’t the type to cry easily, but whenever she thought about how I’d made such a big sacrifice for Ian and hadn’t gotten even a kind word from him in return, she just couldn’t help but feel so sorry for me.
In the end, it was me who ended up comforting her.
After a while, Fredrica finally remembered that we’d come here for my eye check–up. She then took my hand and pulled me towards the specialist clinic.
Third–person perspective
As they passed by, a long luxury car parked silently there. Because of the greenery around, it wasn’t conspicuous.
With his eyes closed, the man rested his head against the half–open car window. His face was a canvas of emotions, and his thick, ink–like eyebrows were tightly knit together, forming a deep and heavy frown. His eyes were hidden by the dense shadow cast by his long eyelashes.
“President Kemnis…” Linda whispered anxiously.
lan had come straight here after leaving the private hospital. However, after arriving, he didn’t do anything but sat in the car, his brows furrowed tightly.
Under his brows, emotions that Linda had never seen appeared. It was suppression.
Ian rarely revealed his emotions on his face. Even when he was extremely annoyed or angry, his expression would. only change subtly.
But now, it was so obvious.
Linda couldn’t figure out what he had come here to do. He couldn’t just sit here until it got dark, right?
After five more minutes passed, Ian finally opened his eyes. He didn’t look at Linda and only said, “Make an

appointment with a specialist.”
“Yes” Linda still couldn’t figure out what he was up to, but she got off the car and did as he asked.
As soon as she got off. Tan started the car himself.
The car left…
Getting an appointment with a specialist was a challenge, but Linda was able to make it happen.
She called Ian right away to inform him about the appointment.
On the other end. Ian replied with a simple “Hmm.
Linda was about to ask him when he would come, but suddenly, two figures appeared before her.
Among them, one was slender and graceful. She wore a long skirt that fluttered with the breeze, and her long hair cascaded like a waterfall down to her waist.
