Xavier glanced at Leia, who was hiding behind the doctor, and said to her grumpily, "Don't you think you should explain this? They're labelling me an abuser!""Hey, how dare you threaten your wife? You'll be in trouble if you keep this up!" The doctor pointed at Xavier and said threateningly, "I'll call the cops to arrest you if you raise your voice at her again. You'll end up in jail after your wife's checkup!"When Leia heard that, she immediately burst into tears. "Doctor, I can't believe I married such a violent man. He beat me up and humiliated me without any remorse. Do inspect my injuries properly, so I can divorce him once I get the report!" "It's okay, Miss. I've met many people like you, so I know what to do. You must divorce him—only then can you leave this abyss. We must never be with such violent men. I'll get you a report now!" After that, the doctor led Leia to an examination room to inspect her injuries. Leia's injuries were bad—her back, legs, and face were full
At that moment, Leia came out because the nurse had finished treating her wounds. "It's okay, doctor." She dramatically wiped her tears and sobbed. "I don't want to blow this out of proportion. It's fine as long as he sincerely apologizes… This is just my fate." "What's the use of the law if saying sorry was enough? He's so violent, Miss… he could have killed you! You can't be soft-hearted towards him." The doctor urged Leia earnestly, "I've seen many cases like this. The wives kept forgiving their husbands, and the price they had to pay was their husbands beating them to death. You're lucky that you survived today, but it doesn't mean that you'll always be this lucky. Listen to me—you have to call the cops." "I'll call the cops. Didn't you give me a medical report? I'll call the cops if I can't reason with him," Leia said and glanced at Xavier meaningfully. If that report could help escalate the case to attempted murder, Shirley would be involved if Leia called the police. Not onl
"I'll ask her to come for the test, but I have a request." Xavier met Stefan's gaze evenly."What request?" Stefan asked calmly, not wanting to make a scene. "If Shirley's eyes are compatible, you have to ask for her permission to take them. You can't forcefully take her eyes from her," Xavier insisted. This was the limit of his compromise, and he felt that every human being deserved that much. Sight was so important, and it was illegal to take that away from someone forcefully. "No, I disagree." Stefan's expression was indifferent. "No one will give up their eyes willingly. If I respect her wishes, then we can't move forward." "It's fine!" Leia said suddenly, "We promise not to remove Shirley's eyes without her permission. Just get her here; I promise I won't force her." Stefan frowned and looked at Leia in dissatisfaction, then said coldly, "That's your promise, not mine." "Agree to his demands now, and I promise you I'll make her give up her eyes to Renee willingly," Lei
Shirley pursed her lips guiltily when she noticed Leia's injuries. "I... I don't know why you're hurt. You shouldn't falsely accuse me or try to hurt me.""You don't know?" Leia was both infuriated and amused. "Did you forget how you instigated your fans when I went to see you in the private room? Your fans are crazy, and they would do anything their idol tells them to do. In short, you're the cause of my injuries though your fans might be the tools. You must bear legal responsibility since you've committed the crime of instigating others to break the law." "When did I instigate my fans? There's no point in talking if you have no evidence, or I'll sue you for slander." Shirley knew that it was a criminal offense if Leia held her responsible, so she had to deny it. "You want evidence, right? I have it!" Leia sneered as she took her phone out. "I knew that I might be in danger before I went into the private room to meet you, so I recorded everything to protect myself. I recorded all
"Let's get the test done first." Xavier didn't say anything, and just hoped Shirley's eyes wouldn't be compatible. If they were, he would have a bigger dilemma on his hands, and he didn't know how to handle it yet."Then… I have to look at you properly now so I don't forget the way you look. I won't be able to see you again once they've dug my eyes out. Oh, I want to take some pretty photos and look at the sun too, and bid my fans goodbye." When Shirley said that, she teared up. As the top actress, she was good at moving others.Even Owen felt sorry for her, and sighed deeply. There were too many tragic things happening. If Shirley's eyes matched Renee's body, then Shirley would become the pitiful one instead of Renee. As an outsider, Owen could not bear to hurt any of them. "Okay, stop wasting time. This isn't the time for you to put on such a show," Stefan said to Shirley impatiently, "It won't be too late for you to put on this show when it's a match." When Shirley saw how fi
Renee was in her bedroom on the second floor, lying in bed weakly. She could vaguely hear the fight downstairs, but was too tired to get up and listen to it. Ever since she became blind, she seemed to have lost track of time; it felt like only a day had passed since she had lost her sight.Leia knocked on the door and walked into the bedroom. "Ren, how are you feeling?" She walked over and sat down near Renee's bed. Her heart ached at the sight of Renee's dispirited look."I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." Renee tried her best to sit up, and leaned against the bed in despair.Leia found it strange. It had been only a few days, but Renee had become unusually weak. A pregnancy couldn't cause this kind of fatigue, and even if it did, Renee wouldn't be so uninterested in the arrival of a child."Are you keeping something from us, Ren? You seem quite weak." Leia held Renee's hand and asked in concern. "No, I'm just so bored that I got lazy. I'm good," Renee took a deep breath and sa
"Ah, why are you asking so many questions?" Renee sighed wearily. "All you need to know is that there isn't any child. That's it." "So, you're pregnant, but you don't want the child. Am I right?" Leia stubbornly asked."Yeah, I'm pregnant, but I don't want the child. Dr. Wagner will help me abort the child right away. Just... help me handle Stefan. Don't let him find out." Renee realized she couldn't keep it from Leia, so she told her the truth. Maybe Leia could help take care of her after the surgery."What? You want an abortion?" Leia's eyes grew wide in bewilderment. "It's been only a few days but you've changed so much. Weren't you very happy a while back? Didn't you want to have the child?""People change. You weren't there when I gave birth to the twins, and I agree with you. It's exhausting for women to have babies and get pregnant. I don't want to suffer through that again," Renee lied to Leia."I see. It's alright, I'll support you!" Leia declared. As expected, Renee had
Owen went upstairs after he had arranged everything, then asked Renee to go downstairs for the compatibility test. It was then that Renee realized that they had secretly called Shirley over for Shirley to donate her eyes to Renee."No!" Renee went to the examination room and said to Owen, "I know Shirley. She's rich, and won't give up her eyes to me for no reason. I'm afraid Stefan will force her, and things will turn ugly. I think I'd better not do the test.""Don't overthink this. Although Ms. White's eyes resemble yours, it's just a possibility they're not a match. We'll see after you have the test," Owen explained, then instructed his assistant to help Renee lie on the surgery table to have the test.Meanwhile, Shirley was in another room. She hadn't met Renee at all. Owen's assistant had taken her blood and did a risk test on her inner organs to see if she was qualified to donate her eyes."May I know..." After the assistant had taken Shirley's blood, Shirley whispered, "Can I
