Ying Bao crawled down from the bed and turned on the light again. She proposed, âBrother Feimo, letâs continue with the pirate game!â
âSure!â
But he felt a bit worried. âWhat if Uncle Huo finds out we arenât sleeping?â
âNo worries. If daddy comes, weâll lie down right away and pretend to be asleep.â
Ying Bao sounded like a veteran.
âWell, then letâs start!â
So they started playing again.
Huo Yunshen had just returned to their bedroom and lain down with his wife. But he seemed to have heard some noise. âHoney, did you hear that?â
Jing Xi tried to listen and smiled. âI guess Ying Bao and Feimo are still playing.â
âBut I saw them lying down just now.â
âHa, they must have faked it for you.â
âWhat should we do then?â
Huo Yunshen wondered if he should urge them to sleep again.
âLeave them alone. They will go to sleep when they are done.â
Jing Xi cuddled her husband and closed her eyes.
âGoodnight, honey!â
âGoodnight!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
They had sweet dreams. On the following morning, Huo Yunshen got up on time.
But immediately after he sat up he found it was completely dark.
âJing Xi!â
He reached out for Jing Xi anxiously.
Jing Xi was awakened and saw him sitting on the bed with his hands reaching out.
âHoney, Iâm here!â
Jing Xi sat up and got hold of his hands.
Huo Yunshen took her hands and placed them against his heart.
âWhatâs up, honey? Was it a nightmare?â
âNo! Jing Xi! I canât see! I canât see you! What should I do?â
He reached his right hand to her face, while he was overwhelmed with anxiety.
âNo worries, no worries! Iâm right here!â
Jing Xi held his handsome face and looked into his eyes. They used to be glittering but now seemed foggy.
Previously Huo Yunshen had suffered from instant loss of eyesight. But it lasted for a longer while today, which made him scared.
âHoney, it sucks not being able to see you!â
Huo Yunshen dragged Jing Xi into his arms and was afraid that she would disappear once he let go.
âListen to me, Yunshen, donât worry. Weâll get the results tomorrow. Once we find you a matching donor we will get rid of the CNSL first. Then we will remove the clot. You will be perfectly fine afterwards.â
Jing Xi stroked him on the back and tried to calm him down.
âOK.â
He closed his eyes again and felt slightly better.
After a while, Huo Yunshen reopened his eyes and was finally relieved. It had been temporary. He could see again now.
âWell, honey, I can see you again.â
Huo Yunshen released his wife and stared carefully at her face.
Jing Xi fondled his eyebrows and smiled slightly. âHow charming your eyes are. It would be such a pity if they went blind!â
Whenever she recalled the risk and low success rate Gu Yici had mentioned about the operations, she could not help being extremely worried.
She tried to soothe herself while talking to him. âHoney, you will be fine.â
âI know.â
They ended the conversation with a long kiss. When they got up, Jing Xi asked Huo Yunshen to cancel all the appointments today and stay at home for some good rest.
She had no class today and could stay home with him too.
âYou go get ready and Iâll check on the kids.â
