Chapter 248
The Contract Marriage
Julian heard her and smiled. âAre you kidding me? There was no light outside. Who said it was bright outside? â
âIt is really bright now! Itâs already 7: 30 in the morning.â Ruby looked at his eyes in disbelief again. She knew that his eyes had not been good recently. So she raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
However, she realized that those eyes did not have any reaction at all.
Ruby became nervous for a moment. âYoung Master, your eyes. . . â
Only then did Julian realize that there was something wrong with the situation. He suddenly sat up from the bed and reached out his hand to grab the phone. He pressed the start button. He clearly heard the sound of the phone being turned on, but he could not see anything. The world in front of him was still pitch black!
âRuby! Ruby! You, you, you said it was really morning now?â
â My eyes! What happened to my eyes? Why canât I see anything? Why?â Julianâs world suddenly panicked. He nervously grabbed Rubyâs hand, his mind somewhat collapsing.
âYoung Master, donât worry. Didnât your eyes not see clearly before? Calm down first. I will help you put on your clothes. Maybe it will be fine in a while.â Ruby saw his nervous look and immediately comforted him.
âOkay! Quickly help me put on my clothes! Youâre right. I should be fine in a while. . .â Julian comforted himself in his heart.
Ruby immediately got off the bed and put on her clothes first. She then helped Julian put on his clothes. It seemed that it was almost done. Only then did she bring him downstairs.
Daphne had also just woken up and just walked out of the room on the first floor. She saw the maid Ruby helping her son down the stairs and looking at her sonâs eyes which was in a daze, she immediately walked over nervously.
âJulian, what happened to you?â Daphne looked up at her son and found that his eyes were not looking at her. She was so scared that her back felt cold.
âMom, tell me what time it is now? Is it not dawn yet, right? Why canât I see anything?â Julian still held onto his last glimmer of hope, hoping that Ruby had just lied to him, but his motherâs reply had sent him straight to hell.
âItâs almost 7: 30 in the morning. The sun is almost out. How can it be that it was still dawn yet? Julian, canât you see me now?â Daphne held her sonâs hand tightly.
âMom! I canât see you! What happened to my eyes? Why is it like this? Why?â Julian shouted in the living room with a broken expression.
Daphne immediately comforted her son, âJulian, donât worry. Your eyes might recover in a while. Go to the sofa and sit for a while. Iâll take you to the hospital right away, okay?â
Daphne saw Julian like this and felt her heart ache. She held her sonâs hand and kept consoling him.
She took him to the sofa and sat down.
âMom, quickly call the hospital director. Ask him to arrange the best ophthalmologist for me! I canât be blind! I absolutely canât be blind!â
Julian held his motherâs hand tightly and reminded her, afraid that it would be a little late. His eyes could no longer be seen. He did not want to repeat what he had experienced nine years ago.
âAlright, alright, alright! Mom will call him right away! Iâll call right away!â Daphne patted her sonâs hand in pain and got up to go back to the bedroom to get her phone.
When Julian was shouting, Vivian also heard the sound. She immediately put on her clothes and walked down from upstairs.
Before she went down to the living room, she heard the conversation between mother-in-law and Julian and instantly understood what had happened. She immediately walked over nervously and looked at Julian, who was sitting on the sofa, looking forward helplessly. There was not a trace of focus in those eyes.
âJulian! Whatâs wrong with you? What happened to your eyes?â Vivian sat down beside him and kept looking into Julianâs eyes. She found that he could not see her at all.
Julian fumbled around and grabbed her hand. âVivian, itâs over! My eyes canât see anymore! I canât see anything now! I canât see anything! What should I do? What should I do?â
Vivian saw Julianâs expression and immediately comforted him. âDonât worry. Your eyes have been having problems recently, havenât they? Maybe a little eye potion will make you feel better.â
âYes! How could I forget about this? Ruby!â
âYes! Young Master!â
âQuickly go to the study and bring my eye medicine over! Hurry up!â
âYes!â Ruby heard his words and immediately ran upstairs.
Ethan and Old Master Cooper also walked out of the room. They looked at Julian on the sofa and quickly understood what had happened.
Ethan looked at his sonâs panicked look and said slowly, âDonât worry. Your eyes have a root of disease in the past. Maybe thereâs something wrong with your cornea.â
âDad, will my eyes never see again?â Julian followed his fatherâs voice and looked over. He could not help but feel nervous.
âYou havenât seen a doctor yet. Maybe itâs just a small problem. The most important thing for you now is to relax. The more nervous you are, the more invisible your eyes are.â
While Ethan was talking, Ruby had already run down the stairs with the eye potion in her hand. She quickly ran to Julianâs side and helped him drip the eye potion carefully. However, after a while, Julianâs eyes still did not show any reaction, which made Julian even more nervous.
Daphne had already finished the phone call. She looked at her husband and said, âI just called the director of Municipal Hospital. He has already arranged for the best eye specialist. â
Ethan nodded and immediately asked the driver to prepare the car. He looked at his wife and said, âYou follow Julian to the hospital.â
âOkay!â Daphne immediately got up and went back to her bedroom. After a while, she put on her coat and walked out with her bag. She saw her son stand up from the sofa with Rubyâs help. She looked at her son and thought, âRuby, follow me!â
âYes. . .â Ruby nodded but still looked at Vivian.
Vivian immediately waved her hand, âTake good care of Julian and go with Madam!â
Daphne and Ruby helped Julian out of the living room and helped him sit in the car. After a moment, the car started to drive quickly towards Municipal Hospital.
Along the way, Julian sat in the car nervously, unable to accept the fact that he had suddenly gone blind. Daphne kept comforting her son, but no matter how much she said, it couldnât really comfort Julianâs heart.
Because everything in front of them was dark, he felt as if he had been abandoned all of a sudden. The whole world had started to become unsafe. He held his motherâs hand tightly along the way, afraid that she would let him go a little.
The hospital arrived very quickly. Ruby quickly went to hang up the number and then helped Julian to the specialistâs consultation room with Daphne. Because Julianâs eyes suddenly went blind, the specialist suggested that he go for a check-up first and then look at the examination results before coming to a conclusion. Julian cooperated with him and did a few checkups. Finally, he returned to the specialistâs consultation room.
âYour eyes had problems nine years ago. This time, it should be the relapse of the old disease. You should have gone to the hospital earlier to treat it. The eye drops are useless.â
âBut the previous one was also an expert. That person said there was no problem. He even prescribed some medicine for us!â When Daphne heard the expertâs words, she hurriedly explained.
âThat person is no longer in this hospital. He left because of an accident.â
âWhat about my sonâs eyes?â Daphne asked nervously.
The doctor looked at Julian and shook his head. âHe has missed the best time for treatment.â
Julian immediately looked in the direction of the doctor and asked nervously, âDoctor, please make it clear. What do you mean by missing the best treatment time? My eyes canât be seen anymore?â
The specialist sighed. âItâs not that you canât see anymore. If there is a suitable cornea, it is still possible. . .â
Julian stood up when he heard him. âWhat kind of expert are you? My eyes have always been fine. I just had some problems recently. And you sentenced me to death. Impossible! Letâs go!â
After saying that, Julian started to grope his way towards the door. Ruby immediately followed him and held his arm to comfort him. âYoung Master, donât worry. Maybe the doctor will have a way. . .â
Daphne also immediately apologized to the doctor, âSorry! His mood is really bad, you must forgive him!â
The specialist smiled in understanding. âIâm fine! I can understand his mood, but his eyes really missed the best treatment time. Now, we can only wait for the appropriate cornea.â
Daphne still looked at the expert in disbelief. âIs there really no other way?â
The expert shook his head helplessly.
Julianâs heart sank. He took Ruby out of the specialistâs office.
When the three of them sat back in the car, Julian looked ahead with a blank face. âMom, I donât believe my eyes canât see. Take me to another hospital to make a diagnosis!â
He was sentenced to death just like that. He could not accept it! Not willing!
In these nine years, his eyes had always been very good. How could something go wrong just because he said it?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
No matter what the doctor said, Julian would not believe it!
Daphne listened to her son and nodded. âJulian, donât worry. Mom will take you there. Letâs go to a few more hospitals! Maybe this person is mistaken.â
âMom, he must be mistaken!â
âRight! Right, right, right! Son, donât worry. Mom will take you there now!â
Daphne brought Julian to two more hospitals, but the result was still the same even when it was past four oâclock in the afternoon.
Julianâs eyes missed the best time to treat it, so he could only wait for the appropriate cornea.
