Chapter: 1765

Two days later, Renee changed into a surgical gown and walked into the sterile surgery room of the manor with Jovan.

�Please lie down on the operating table.� The eye surgeon instructed the nurses to help them onto the table after a brief check-up and anesthesia testing.

Renee gave her full cooperation throughout the process, staying quiet the whole time. The image of her in the large surgical gown with her long hair wrapped up in a cap made her look like a little lamb off to the slaughter. She laid down on the operating table, the surgical light above her so bright that she couldn�t open her eyes. Halos of light swam in her vision, and she felt as if she was stuck in a nightmare.

�Do you regret it?� She heard Jovan�s indifferent voice nearby. �It�s not too late if you do.�

�No, I don�t.� Renee smiled pathetically. �I�ll never regret since I�ll be getting so much money.�

�Okay, then. I promise I�ll reward you generously,� Jovan promised firmly.

After the anesthesiologist finished preparing the anesthetic, he said to Renee and Jovan,

�I�ll inject the anesthetic into your bodies now. It�s general anesthesia, and you�ll lose consciousness. The time it�ll take for you to wake up depends on your physical condition, but it should be around three to six hours after the surgery.�

�Okay.� Renee nodded. �I�m ready.�

Jovan inhaled deeply and murmured, �You may begin.�

Renee felt something sharp poke her back, and the halo of light in her vision started to grow. Finally, everything went black, and she lost consciousness.

Renee didn�t know how long she had been out for, but when she woke up, everything had been plunged into darkness. It felt like she had fallen into an endless abyss, and her body trembled as she whispered, �Is� Is there anyone there?�

�You�re awake, Ms. Everheart. How do you feel? Do your eyes hurt? The doctor said that it might take at least a week for your wounds to heal.� It was a young woman�s voice, but it wasn�t Eloise.

�Who are you? Where is Eloise?� Renee asked nervously. She realized now how important sight was; she felt as defenseless and vulnerable as a newborn.

�I�m Lisa. Ms. Pierce asked me to take care of you since she�s busy taking care of Mr. Jovan now. You can tell me if you need anything,� Lisa said kindly. Lisa was an honest and simple person, and she felt very moved by Renee�s action of sacrificing her eyes.

�Oh, I see��

Renee sighed in relief when she sensed no hostility from Lisa, and immediately asked, �Is the surgery over? Was it successful? Can Jovan see again?�

�I heard from Ms. Pierce that the surgery was successful. Mr. Jovan will have his stitches and bandages removed in a week, and he can see again. But unfortunately, you�� Lisa let out a soft sigh as she looked at Renee, pale and weak in her surgical gown. Feeling sorry for Renee, Lisa asked hesitantly, �What are you planning to do in the future?�

�Don�t worry. I might have lost my sight, but I�m not dead. I can survive this. There are many blind people in the world who have done great things�� Even though Renee was in a lot of pain, she still tried to reassure Lisa because she could tell Lisa genuinely felt sorry for her.

�I�ll take good care of you for the next few days, Ms. Everheart. Don�t hesitate to tell me if you need anything. I�ll help you as long as it�s within my abilities.� Lisa felt that Renee was a kind and positive person, and couldn�t understand why things had to end up like this. JrNovels.com
