room lodge in their throats.As he took off the gauze, he even started growing incoherent. “Okay, you can remove your eyes now. No, I mean, you can open your eyes now.”Hearing the man’s blunder, Winnie couldn’t help chuckling softly.The fact that she could still laugh at that time was synonymous with good news to everyone.They all reckoned that she must be able to see. Otherwise, it made no sense for her to be able to laugh.Winnie opened her eyes under the anticipation of the crowd.With a faint smile on her face, she stared right ahead.The person right across from her was none other than Xavier.Right then, Xavier stared at her motionlessly, his eyes shining with hope.He was so keyed up that even his voice quivered. “Can you see me, Winnie?”Once more, Winnie chuckled softly, tears shimmering in her eyes.Nevertheless, she didn’t answer that question directly. Instead, she said, “The flowers Greta brought me are sunflowers, and they’re in full bloom.”“Bingo!” When Greta heard that, she rushed up to her emotionally with the bouquet of flowers.She had wanted to personally hand the bouquet to Winnie.But at the thought that Xavier was also there, she gave it to the man instead.Joyfully, she squealed, “Here, Mr. Fairchild.

Chuckling dryly, she admitted, “Actually, I guessed by the smell. Although sunflowers don’t give off a strong fragrance, I can still smell them.”While saying that, she stretched out her hands toward Xavier.Xavier felt as though he had been stabbed in the heart. He walked over and pulled her into his arms tremblingly. Burying her head in his chest, Winnie inhaled deeply before choking out, “Sorry, I was joking with you guys just now. In truth, I still can’t see anything. The surgery has failed.”She forcibly held her tears at bay. Conversely, tears promptly streamed down
