"I understand. I'll find the right moment to tell her," Lambert said calmly.
But deep down, he was torn apart.
How could Lydia be blind? She was so kind and beautiful. Why did she have to suffer like this?
Moreover, she was a fashion designer; without her eyesight, her career and dreams would be shattered.
Lambert's fingers trembled as he returned to the room. He saw Lydia sitting quietly on the bed, her face pale from blood loss, fragile and helpless.
Unconsciously, she hugged herself, her long black hair scattered behind her. Her once bright and lively eyes now seemed dim, though she was still beautiful.
But the undeniable truth was that she couldn't see anymore.
From initial panic, Lydia had turned into a cold calmness.
Yet, beneath the surface, her heart was in turmoil.
Negative emotions surged within her, making her want to scream, to be angry, to destroy and collapse everything.
Perhaps it was her imaginatio
Lydia felt extremely frustrated. She clenched her lips and angrily questioned Pag, "How did you hold the glass? You let go before I had a grip on it!"At that moment, Lambert, who heard the commotion, walked into the room.He saw the mess by the bedside, Lydia sitting there with an unfriendly expression, her eyes devoid of any light.On the other side, Pag, dressed in a pink nurse uniform, looked aggrieved as she crouched down to clean up the broken glass."I'm sorry, it's all my fault!" Lydia knew she had misplaced her anger. Suddenly going blind made even simple tasks like drinking water difficult for her. Her pride was crumbling, and she felt defeated.Seeing this scene, Lambert's heart felt heavy. Lydia's anger and irritability might just be a way to mask her inner turmoil.But it seemed like this nurse had become the target of her displaced anger.Stepping forward, Lambert addressed Pag, "That's enough. You can leave now. I'll take care of things here."Pag's heart leaped with jo
Not long after Lambert had left, she had already woken up. It was vaguely as if she had heard him and Pag say something.What do you have to say to avoid her? Lydia felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.So as soon as Pag came back, Lydia couldn't help but ask, "Where did you go just now?"Pag's voice was a little shy, and he seemed to feel a little guilty. "I'm really sorry. Mr. Halsey asked me for something just now.""What is it?"Pag didn't answer immediately, but he was embarrassed and said, "It's nothing, it's a little personal matter."Lydia felt more and more uncomfortable when she heard that. Since when was Lambert willing to talk about private matters with a woman he didn't know well? This didn't sound normal!Looking at the obviously doubtful look on Lydia's face, Pag proudly hooked up the corners of his lips. Doubt it, this is the beginning of the breakdown of their relationship! It is also the beginning of her opportunity.Lydia had no idea at this time that she had be
Nydia, who heard their conversation, snorted coldly. "Rachel, no one is allowed to go! No one in our family is allowed to visit that woman in the hospital! And Lambert, although I don't want to force you, you should know that the head mistress of our family must not be a good-for-nothing! I heard that Lydia's eyes were blind. Why? Are you still going to hide it from us?"Lambert's complexion sank when he heard that. "Mom! Lydia is only temporarily blind. What's more, she is not a good-for-nothing! She is the wife I am marrying! Everyone in the upper class of Nova City has seen her! Even if you don't like her, you can't deny her identity!"Nydia still wanted to say something, but Odgen interrupted her, "Alright, today is a family gathering, so don't mention the topic of killjoy."Lambert's already unhappy interest fell to the bottom. After exchanging a few pleasantries with several separated uncles, he directly found an excuse to leave the manor. Rachel left with him. She really wanted
Why would Pag know about the matter of Lambert going back to the family gathering and she knew nothing about it?Seeing Lydia silent, Rachel felt more and more that there was something wrong with it, and under her several questioning, Lydia finally said the reason why she was angry."So that's how it is!"Lambert's deep voice sounded, making Lydia bow her head subconsciously, ashamed and annoyed.Lambert walked to Lydia's side in three or two steps, reached out and stuffed a washed red tit into her mouth. The sudden sweetness and sourness made Lydia's expression somewhat torn."Lydia, I can explain this matter. I did tell you at that time, or maybe you didn't care when I said it. At that time, the nurse was also present, so it's normal for her to know about this matter!"Rachel laughed at the side. "See, you're the only one in my big cousin's heart. Lydia, don't worry. In fact, I haven't seen my cousin treat any woman so well for so many years. Lydia, don't worry. If you really don't
"Get out too!"Lydia pushed hard, and Pag was pushed far away. Her own footsteps also stumbled a little, making people worried."Lydia!"It was not until Lambert s familiar voice drilled into Lydia s ears that she calmed down slightly.Lambert walked in front of Lydia in three or two steps. His face had a serious expression, but there was a little heartache in the bottom of his eyes. Unfortunately, Lydia couldn't see all this."You are this person's family, right? Seeing that her mood is not right, if she can't, she can be sent to a mental hospital. It's not okay to beat people randomly like this. Look at her little nurse's arm."An old lady who had been watching for a long time stepped forward and spoke to Lambert. Lambert's eyes fell on Pag's arm that had been called by the blind guide stick. Indeed, it was already blue and purple.Seeing Lambert looking at her, Pag was extremely happy, but his face showed guilt and said, "I'm really sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have brought he
See, she said that no one can resist their charm, presumably Lambert has also found her good, especially against Lydia's unreasonable background.Lambert didn't know what Pag was thinking. Of course, Pag didn't dare to show it directly in front of Lambert. At most, she only dared to do some petty tricks. She knew the principle of gradual progress.As soon as Pag entered the ward, Lambert took a bank card and handed it to her. Pag was stunned. "Mr. Halsey, this is...""This is your salary for this period of time and the compensation for your injury before!""But my work is not over yet. Didn't I say that I would settle the account on January 1?" Pag's heart jumped, seemingly happy and annoyed."That's right, but the premise is that you can continue to do it here, but I'm sorry to inform you that you have been fired, and you don't need to come from tomorrow!"Lambert's words made Pag's eyes widen, and she did not answer the bank card. "But why? Mr. Halsey, I think my profession is top-n
Lambert noticed something off about him, reaching out to feel his forehead, concerned he might be sick."Sweetheart, are you feeling unwell or is something bothering you? You can tell me, you know?" Lambert's voice was gentle, with a hint of worry in his gaze. Wythe blinked his big eyes. "Really, Dad? Can I tell you anything?""Of course! Whatever you're facing, I'm here to help," Lambert assured him.Wythe furrowed his brow. "Dad, I went to the hospital to see Mom today."Lambert's hand paused, his expression stiffening. "Oh? How is she holding up?""She's okay, Dad. Are you planning to keep this standoff with Mom forever? Someone has to make a move, right? I know Mom's been in a bad mood lately, but that's because she's sick. Can't you understand her a bit? I don't want to see you two like this!"Lambert sighed, pulling Wythe onto his lap. "It's not that I don't understand her. I know she's upset about not being able to see, and I haven't blamed her. What I can't accept is her unfou
Just as Pag was torn, she spotted Lambert waiting for Lydia in his Maybach not far away. She quickly formulated a plan.Breathless, she ran up to Lambert before Lydia, her eyes shimmering with moisture.With her cute doll-like face flushed from the exertion, she looked adorable, but Lambert, preoccupied with Lydia's earlier words, had no mood to appreciate such a sight.His mind was still grappling with Lydia's impending departure."Mr. Halsey!" Pag stood by the car window, composed herself, and gazed at Lambert with clear eyes.Lambert's gaze turned cold as he looked at the woman before him. It seemed they weren't familiar, especially considering Lydia's attitude toward her, which made him wary of this woman named Pag."What is it?" he asked curtly."Well, Mr. Halsey, since Miss Gilford is about to be discharged and go home, I was wondering if I could continue as her caregiver. You know, despite Miss Gilford's misconceptions about me, no one understands her situation better than I do
Lambert presented himself as refined, but his underlying dominance was unmistakable. "That's not the case, Principal. I'm just worried about Lydia's health. She's pregnant, and she's caring for a class full of four- and five-year-olds. If something were to happen, it could be very dangerous for her."The principal furrowed her brow, eyeing him curiously. His concern seemed more like that of a family member than a parent. "While your point is valid, we've already considered this. Surely, you wouldn't expect her to be dismissed? After all, maternity leave is an option now...""Maternity leave is limited," Lambert replied firmly. "Besides, you must know that Lydia can't stay here forever."The principal felt uneasy. Lambert's demeanor and attire suggested he was no ordinary individual; why would he want his family working in such a small place? Something felt off."On what grounds are you so sure?" she asked.Lambert responded with unwavering confiden
Meanwhile, Lydia was feeling quite emotional in her room. The impact of seeing Lambert, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, was overwhelming. He had lost quite a bit of weight, and from his words, it seemed he had been eager to find her ever since he left.It would be a lie to say she wasn't touched; he truly cared about her. She had always held onto him in her heart and never let go. However, the idea of going back because of this was unlikely; after all, she was a stubborn person, and once she made a decision, it wasn't easy to change her mind.Lydia hoped that Lambert would take the hint and leave soon so her life could return to normal. Otherwise, her heart would be in turmoil!As Lambert, whom Lydia hoped would leave, was knocking on the door next door, an elderly man in his sixties opened it, eyeing Lambert suspiciously.Lambert straightened his clothes and spoke with a gentle tone, "Hello, I'm Lambert. The thing is..."Lydia, completely obl
Using their son as a shield might seem a bit embarrassing, but it was undeniably effective. Sure enough, upon hearing Wythe's name, Lydia paused her resistance to Lambert. She struggled to move her legs and began to make her way toward her home.What should have been a short ten-minute walk turned into a half-hour ordeal due to Lydia's difficulty in moving. During this time, she even awkwardly made a trip to the restroom. As she entered the later stages of her pregnancy, not only had her legs swollen, but her trips to the bathroom had also increased significantly. Just moments ago, she had finished a latte, which made the situation even more awkward—suddenly needing to find a restroom while walking.Lambert, while unaware of the many inconveniences pregnancy could bring, couldn't help but feel like a negligent husband and father as he watched Lydia struggle. He realized he knew nothing about what she was going through. Seeing her in such discomfort made his heart
Lambert closed his eyes, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart. He had truly found Lydia!"Sorry, Lydia, I think I got a bit carried away!"Could this be a dream? If it is, he hoped he'd never wake up.Lydia was at a loss for words. This wasn't just being a bit excited; he was clearly overwhelmed!She decided to change the subject. "Lambert, how's Wythe doing?" Her son was the person she cared about most, and the one she felt she owed the most to."He's fine, but he really misses you. I didn't expect that after all this time, you wouldn't even call once."Hearing this, Lydia lowered her head, guilt washing over her. In some ways, she knew she hadn't been a very good mother. She had neglected her son for her own feelings."I'm sorry..."Lambert sighed softly, a mix of emotions swirling within him. "You don't need to apologize, Lydia. It's all my fault. If I hadn't misunderstood you, you wouldn't have felt the need to leave Nov
Debby felt a sudden jolt, her ears turning bright red. Being caught doing something wrong and exposed in public was a uniquely uncomfortable experience."Uh, I..."Lambert's heart raced. Could it be that he finally found the right place? Was Lydia really at this kindergarten?Fearing he might startle her, he spoke gently, his tone patient. "Debby, there's been a misunderstanding between Lydia and me. I care about her deeply, and I can't lose her. I don't know how you've interpreted our situation, but as her friend, I assume you want her to be happy too?"Debby hesitated at his words. Was this man truly a scoundrel? Upon reflection, Lydia had only mentioned that she had divorced her partner and left Nova City due to some circumstances. She had never spoken ill of her ex-husband, so perhaps she had misjudged him?Debby's expression shifted, yet she still seemed unsure. Lambert seized the moment to ask, "Debby, Lydia hasn't left, has she?""How
Lydia could hardly believe her ears, but Debby wouldn't lie to her. So, Lambert had really come looking for her.Her emotions were a whirlwind. It had been nearly five months since she left. During this time, she had come to Y City alone, found a job at a kindergarten, and gradually found some peace.Being away from the chaos allowed Lydia to reflect on herself, and she realized that the situation with Lambert wasn't entirely his fault. While he sometimes acted presumptuously, his intentions were good—he always acted out of concern for himself. Each argument only chipped away at their relationship.No bond can withstand constant fighting.Lost in thought, Lydia absentmindedly traced her fingers over her phone screen. Should she reach out to Lambert? According to Debby, he was probably headed to Rong City.She lowered her gaze, her long eyelashes casting shadows over her troubled eyes. When she first heard that Lambert was looking for her, her
As Lambert stepped out of the apartment, a lost look lingered in his eyes. For the past few months, he had been caught in a cycle of hope and disappointment almost every single day.He should have been used to it by now, but each time he felt let down, hurt, and increasingly restless. The longer the search went on, the more he worried about whether he would ever find Lydia."Hey, don't be too downcast. Finding someone is like this; as long as you persevere, you will eventually locate them!"Lambert nodded at her comforting words, knowing well that now wasn't the time to give up."Lambert, since you haven't found her yet, what's your next move?"He frowned slightly. "I think I'll stay here for a while. According to the information my friend gave me, there might be another Lydia in City Y."She sighed. "You really have it tough. How long do you think it will take to find her? It's like searching for a needle in a haystack!""It's okay;
Upon seeing the information, Lambert felt as though he'd been tirelessly searching, only to stumble upon the answer effortlessly.Watching him hold the household registry, his hands trembling, the elderly woman knew that this young man truly loved his wife. She couldn't help but sigh. Why couldn't people just talk things out calmly instead of storming off? When this Lambert finally found his wife, she made a mental note to have a good talk with her. After all, finding someone who genuinely loves you these days isn't easy, especially someone as handsome and devoted as him.As she shared more advice, Lambert listened attentively. A couple of hours later, there he was, standing outside apartment 803 of Building 6, disguised in a delivery uniform, complete with a sunhat and a package in hand.*Ding dong, ding dong...*Lambert stood at the door, feeling anxious. He feared the person inside wouldn't be Lydia, but also worried they wouldn't answer at all.
The intense longing Lambert felt was like ants gnawing at his heart—an unbearable pain that consumed him. Yet, this separation made him realize even more clearly how deeply Lydia had become a part of his life. Without her, he felt utterly lost, as though she had completely permeated his existence without him even noticing.After a brief rest, Lambert began his search for information. He quietly arrived at the neighborhood where one of the pregnant women named Lydia was living and started asking around about her."You seem unfamiliar. You're not from around here, are you?" An elderly woman approached him, curiosity in her eyes.Lambert's heart leaped at the question. He had been wondering how to start the conversation, and now someone had given him the perfect opportunity. "You've got a sharp eye, ma'am. I'm new here.""I thought so! We don't usually see such a handsome young man in our neighborhood," the woman commented."Are you here for work, or are you planning to settle down? You
