Surviving My Obsessive Ex novel Chapter 18

William looked at Margaret’s empty eyes, and a shadow crossed his gaze.

He knew very well that once Margaret regained her sight, she would probably leave him.

A sharp pang of pain twisted his heart. He bit his lip and spoke softly, "Margaret, I wish you could regain your sight soon, but the doctor says the anti-cancer medication you’re on may have side effects, so the surgery has to wait for now."

Margaret’s face showed a clear expression of disappointment.

No one who isn’t blind can understand the desperation of someone who can’t even sleep with the lights off, what it feels like to live in an eternal darkness.

William gently took Margaret’s hand, trying to soothe her. "Margaret, although you can’t see right now, you have me. I am your eyes. You’re already doing much better than before. How about we get married next month, and I’ll make you my bride?"

"I’ll personally design your wedding dress, make you the most beautiful and precious bride in the world, and let everyone know that you are my only love. Will you agree to that?"

"Margaret, I truly love you, and I want to spend all my lifetimes with you."

William held Margaret’s hand tightly, declaring his love, asserting his claim over her.

But Margaret felt a choking sensation in her chest.

Now she was alive, but she was a blind woman, dependent on others, living in darkness forever. She was nothing more than a puppet William could control and manipulate.

William quickly started preparing for their wedding.

The next day, someone came to the hospital to measure Margaret’s height and figure, planning to customize a diamond crown for her.

Perhaps due to the busy wedding preparations, William had been spending less time at the hospital. He also eased his restrictions on Margaret, allowing her to walk freely around the hospital with her cane, but she was strictly forbidden to leave the hospital.

That day, Anna, whose vision had recovered, was about to be discharged.
