Chapter 37 She Can’t Afford It

Her hatred stung his heart, but he remained resolute.

‘I’m not asking you to remain blind forever. It’s temporary. Isabella needs the surgery now, and I will find suitable eyes for you as soon as possible…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Natalie slapped him hard across the face.

Bianca responded, “Tm on my way home. Are you at home?”

“L be back soon!”

“Alright, I’ve bought groceries. I’ll cook something delicious for you.”
