Chapter 496
Chapter 496 Wishful Thinking Seeing that Amelia was silent, James knew her answer. He raised his bony fingers and pressed the button beside the hospital bed. The director came shortly and entered the ward. “Mr. Evans, what can I help you with?” James leaned back on the sofa, staring at Amelia’s pale face, and said coldly, “Give her a full body checkup to see if those drugs have damaged her organs.” The director wanted to say that sexual drugs wouldn’t damage the organs. Amelia also felt that it was unnecessary, but before she could dissuade him, the director turned and left the ward. Even the director would not dare to disobey the order of the major shareholder. He quickly notified each department to send experts and doctors to do the examination. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Having gone through a thorough check, Amelia didn’t even dare to hide her anemia, so she reported all of them to James. He seemed to have a psychological shadow on the previous false reports. He asked for multiple doctors’ opinions and only believed them when he got the same answer. Chapter 496 Wishful Thinking 2/5
The ophthalmologist was the last one to check Amelia. When he checked her eyes, he noticed something was wrong. He immediately turned to look at the man standing beside him. “Mr. Evans, has the patient been blind before?” James froze and looked down at Amelia. “Have you ever been blind?”
Nodding, Amelia said, “Yeah.” James choked, bent down, and stroked her eyes with his slender hands. “When? Why didn’t you tell me?” Amelia saw the distress in his eyes. She frowned slightly. “Before I died, I was blind for a while.”
The word died was like a knife, piercing his heart, causing him to bleed profusely. It turned out that she had been enduring not only the pain of heart failure, but also the pain of blindness. And not only did he not stay with her when she was most helpless to take care of her, but he also hurt her mercilessly. James put away the fingers that were stroking her eyes and squeezed them into his palms. After suppressing his guilt, he looked up at the ophthalmologist. “What caused the blindness?”
Chapter 96 Wishful Thinking “This patient has a latent eye disease that isn’t noticeable at ordinary. As for why she suddenly lost her sight, it should be caused by ischemic encephalopathy after a severe coma. The damage to the motor center caused the blindness…” The doctor’s words made James feel more sinful. It was that slap that caused the nail to hit the back of her head and led to a severe coma. 3/5 It turned out that before she died, she suffered from the pain of blindness. And it all had something to do with him. He used to treat her like this, and yet he expected her to fall in love with him again. It was wishful thinking. James clenched his fingers, and his nails almost pierced his thin skin. Meanwhile, his face was pale as paper. He felt extremely guilty towards Amelia and stared at the ophthalmologist with sinful eyes. “Will there be a relapse?” The ophthalmologist checked Amelia’s eyes again and replied with certainty. “As long as she doesn’t overwork herself and take her medicine on time, it will not relapse. In addition, you must pay special
attention not to cry too much, or it will easily cause temporary blindness…” James’s thick eyebrows furrowed and deepened again. “Can it be cured?”
Chapter 96 Wishful Thinking The ophthalmologist replied, “If you want her to be cured, surgery is the only way. But I read her medical records. This lady has undergone two major surgeries in recent years. It is not recommended to undergo frequent surgeries. It will be dangerous, and she is in good condition now. Medicine should be enough to maintain her condition.” Hearing the ophthalmologist’s words, James couldn’t ask Amelia to undergo another surgery no matter how anxious he was to heal her eyes. He raised his cold eyes and ordered the doctor, “Give her the best medicine.” Amelia, who had been silent all this time, hurriedly stopped James, “George has already prescribed the medicine for me, so there is no need to give me more.” James looked at the woman lying on the hospital bed. Her eyes were full of resistance. It was as if she didn’t want him to do anything for her. Feeling weak, he loosened his clenched hands and signaled the ophthalmologist to go out. After the ophthalmologist left, there was a dead silence in the ward. Amelia felt depressed and embarrassed. She squeezed her palms tightly and raised her eyes to look at him. “Can… can I leave now?” 4/5 Chapter 496 Wishful Thinking James looked at Amelia, who didn’t want to stay with him for a second. His heart seemed to be torn apart, and it was suffocating. He stood beside her, stared at her quietly for a while, lifted the quilt, picked her up, and walked out of the ward.
