Chapter 2

Sean had always been a sweet talker.

When I was blind, he would get jealous when others tried to help me. He was extremely possessive.

"I was only trying to ask directions."

"No. You have me. You don't need any other men. I'll always be by your side."

How hypocritical. Yet I still fell for his sweet words for the past two years.

At that moment, all I felt was contempt. If he had truly loved me, would he have treated me as a sick joke for two whole years?

Sean buried his face in my neck. "Rachel, I've picked out our house. I got them to install bars for the blind, too. Once we get married, let's move in."

I looked at the red marks on his neck. I nodded mischievously and said, "Sure, we'll get married and move in soon."

Sean was elated. He hugged me tighter, repeatedly murmuring, "I love you, honey."

I lied to him. I had already handed in my application to return to the research team. I will completely vanish from Sean's life in less than three days.

I wanted him to have a taste of his medicine. I wanted him to see what it felt like to be played like a fool.

More importantly, I wanted to go back to who I was in the past.

The next day, Sean fed me breakfast caringly as usual. However, simultaneously, he was exchanging dirty texts with Vivian.

It hurt my eyes and also my heart.

After breakfast, he took me to the company, the one that he started for me two years ago. He brought me here once every week to treat my eyes.

He carefully helped me inside. The medical staff were touched by his care for me.

"Mr. Sherman is so caring toward you, Ms. Todd. I heard that he gave up his career in research for you. He even went into the medical business. You are truly important to him."

Sean smiled and said, "I love Rachel. I'd do anything for her."

Yet, when I saw the company logo, I was so disgusted I was at a loss for words.

Viv Medical.

It was clear who he founded this company for!

Sean took me to the consultation room before leaving. I was still overwhelmed with contempt and resentment.

Two years ago, Sean gave up his career for me. His friends secretly called me a burden to Sean behind my back.

His mother reprimanded me, too. "Just because you've become blind, Sean had to give up everything for you. He even started a medical company for you. Will you continue burdening him for the rest of your life?"

I loved Sean, so I took in all the insults and criticism.

When they told me to leave Sean, I would always show them the proof of Sean's love for me—the medical company—to shut them up.

When I finally saw the company's name, I realized how big of a joke I must have been to them!

I could not stop the nausea from coming over me. I suddenly stood up and ran outside.

The moment I was outside, I heard two people flirting next door.

"Why did you bring this with you?"

"Well, I can't use it with her. I don't want it to go to waste."

"Tsk, we were in bed for so long last night. You want it again now? You're always like this when you bring her for treatment…"

I did not continue listening to the conversation. I frantically fled the scene.

I received a call from the realtor when I was by the entrance. "Ms. Todd, are you looking to sell your place? I noticed you wrote that you want it sold in three days? That's so soon."

"It's urgent. Please get it done as soon as possible," I said with determination.

I had only regained my eyesight for a day, but my emotions were in a mess.

I took a taxi home and quickly prepared all the documents I needed to bring to the research team.

When I was blind, I thought about how I would not regret anything at all, giving everything up for Sean.

At that moment, I found it highly absurd that I would ever think that way.
