The Dead Fiancé's Return: Too Late, She's His Uncle's Wife Now novel Chapter 72

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 Calix’s expression as he spoke. He saw Calix 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, Calix asked.

His voice was still calm, but it was evident that his emotions were not right.

The doctor couldn’t figure out Calix’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 L.

“Result!” Calix interrupted impatiently.

The male doctor trembled and sat up straight. He quickly said, “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 to that time, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

“At that time, the corneas 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 corneas 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 more troublesome.”

“Did she… wake up?” Calix’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 we 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.

Calix’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?” Cal this matter with utmost caution.

“She asked the director to give the corneas to a person named Calix. As for the girl herself, her information didn’t include her full name; she only wrote down the name ‘Anya.”

“Anya?” Calix’s eyes widened as he looked at the doctor.

Anya’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 Calix? You were willing to risk your life for him!” Fredrica kept ranting at me, and I could tell she was really frustrated.

I smiled helplessly and gently tugged 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!” Fredrica 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 Calix, 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 hardship and loss,” Fredrica said, and her tears just couldn’t be held back any lon and stat

She wasn’t the type to cry easily, but whenever she thought about how I’d made such a big sacrifice for Calix 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.
