The Dead Fiancé's Return: Too Late, She's His Uncle's Wife Now novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69

1 fell silent, my face growing solemn. Seeing the look on my face, Fredrica’s heart sank. She already had a pretty good idea of what the answer might be.

“So, you really… donated your corneas?” Her voice quivered, and her bright eyes were filled with disbelief. Tears started to glisten in them.

In the next moment, she shoved me hard. “Have you lost your mind? Doing something like that?”

I caught her hand. “Fredrica…”

“Was it during that time? You made me cover for you, telling my dad you were staying at our house,

and then you just vanished without a trace for two months.”

She couldn’t bring herself to say any more. The thought of cornea removal was something she’d only ever heard about happening to people who’d passed away. The idea of someone taking corneas from a living person like that… it was just too much to even think about!

“So, you gave your corneas to Calix, didn’t you?” She asked, her voice shaking with all kinds of

emotions.

Then she shouted again, “You’re crazy for doing something so stupid for that jerk!”

“Anya, you’re just out of your mind!“

Fredrica’s eyes were red as she kept pushing me, letting out all the anger that had been building up inside her. But her anger wasn’t really about the situation itself; it was because she cared about me so much and couldn’t stand to see me going through all this.

“Fredrica!”

Seeing how worked up she was, Lucas quickly came over and tried to hold her back. But Fredrica pushed him away, tears streaming down her face as she stared at me. “Anya, you‘ did you do something so terrible, but you also dragged me into it as an accomplic

I knew I was in the wrong. I just lowered my head quietly, letting Fredrica vent all her frustrations,

Fredrica’s anger wasn’t just about what had happened; she was also upset that I’d been so foolish and how much she cared for me.

Lucas rubbed his nose, looking all wronged and helpless.

I knew that usually Lucas could handle Fredrica pretty well, but when she was this furious, there was just no controlling her.

I rushed over and held Fredrica back. “Calix and I are already divorced. If you go after him now, he’ll just think I regret the divorce and that I’m trying to use this to hold on to him!”

My sincere explanation left Fredrica at a loss for words, and the tears just kept falung from her eyes. dripping onto the ground.

I knew she was still worried sick about me.

I’m okay.” I said softly, trying to reassure her.

Fredrica hugged me tightly, unable to say anything, her sobs muffled. “But you did this sacrifice because you loved him. You gave away your corneas, and what did you get in return? It’s so unfair.”

She kept patting my back, and it was like she was hurting her own heart with each pat

My eyes got a bit red too, and my nose felt stuffy, what with Fredrica’s concern and my own past naivety. My throat felt all choked up.

I put my arms around Fredrica’s shoulders and hugged her back. “Back then, it was definitely because of love. Even though I didn’t get anything back, I don’t regret it. Sweetie, I did what I thought was right in that relationship, and that’s enough for me.”

“You…” Fredrica felt both heartbroken and sad, but she also understood what I was sayi She just held me even tighter, like holding me this way could somehow ease her pain.

They’d shown up so suddenly, and there was nowhere for Fredrica and me to stay. I had to arrange for them to stay at a hotel in town since there wasn’t an extra bed in the house.

Fredrica insisted on driving me home. It wasn’t a long distance, and I didn’t say no. We sat in the car together, just like we used to, but this time, the feelings were so different.

“Anya, you’re really silly,” Fredrica sighed softly, her heart still aching.

She looked at my left eye, which was noticeably grayer than the right one, and felt silly herself for not realizing that my left eye had been an issue for years.

I smiled and let out a small sigh. “Yeah, I was really foolish.”

Fredrica held my wrist. “If you’d known that things with Calix would end up like this, would you still

have made that stupid decision?”

My mind went blank, and I just froze there, not knowing how to answer. As I got out of the car, the cool breeze blew against my face, welcoming me back to the place.

I waved goodbye, feeling the cool wind on my skin, and watched as the Bentley drove out of sight. Then I adjusted my clothes and walked up the steps to my house.

That night, as I lay in bed, my eyes were calm, the pupils black and white, clear as could be. Even though everything around me was peaceful, I couldn’t stop thinking about the question Fredrica had

asked.
