Chapter 923
Estelle’s injuries were severe; her legs were cut off at the tendons. Even though they had been reattached after surgery, it was gonna take a while for her to recover. Right now, she was stuck in a wheelchair.
At ten in the morning, the sun was blazing. As they left the house, Manley tentatively asked, “Babe, can you feel the sunshine?”
Estelle opened her eyes wide but didn’t say anything.
Immediately, Manley said, “It’s okay, take your time. The doctor said you’re already healing pretty fast.”
Estelle smiled, “No need to comfort me, I’ve already accepted the fact that I’ll live in darkness.”
That hit Manley right in the feels. After Estelle woke up and realized she was blind, she just sat there for a bit. She didn’t cry or make a fuss.
But that just made him feel even worse.
He held her hand, pretending to be casual and said, “No worries, I can be your eyes from now on.”
Estelle laughed, “Josiah said he wanted to be my eyes, Xavier too. Now you’re saying the same thing, if I had that many eyes, wouldn’t I become a monster?”
Manley pushed her slowly along the cobblestone road, jokingly said, “Even if you’re a monster, I’d still dig you!”
Estelle thought he was joking and asked, “What about your girlfriend?”
“She’s not my girlfriend!” Manley said immediately.
“Then what is she?” Estelle raised an eyebrow.
Manley didn’t answer immediately.
He reluctantly admitted, “Okay, she’s my girlfriend, but we’ve broken up!”
