confidence in the current medical knowledge and technology!” said

Wilhelm stated he would fly over immediately to see her upon learning about her situation.Meanwhile, Xavier waited patiently for her to end the call before saying to her, “I just received news that Lisanne and her colleagues have ended their quarantine. Winnie, we can go home soon.”“That’s great. Get the medical staff to do the final test on me. I’m tired of the smell and silence here. I want to go home. Let’s go to Lagune Mansion when we get out. That place is huge and filled with birds chirping,” Winnie responded with her eyes closed.“Sure. I’ll go wherever you want to go.”“Can you accompany me to visit Granny? I want to hear her voice.”“Okay. I’ll do everything you say.”“Really? You’ll do everything I say?”“Of course. Since when do I not do what you say? You’re the one who doesn’t listen to me, but there’s nothing I can do about it.”“All right. I’ll listen to you. Don’t be sad and don’t go crying secretly.”“I won’t. A grown man like me has nothing to cry about. Besides, you’ll only laugh at me if I do.”“I can’t see now.”“But you’ve got a good sense of hearing.”“You’re right. I’m incredible.”“You arrogant little rascal. Feeling good about yourself, eh?”The two exchanged friendly banter. It put Winnie in good spirits because she could feel Xavier was slowly opening up and not as cautious with his words as before.After some time, Lisanne, who had been released from isolation, walked in hastily. “Winnie, how did it go? Was the surgery a success?”Nonetheless, she knew what the answer was before Winnie could even answer. Lisanne could tell the surgery had failed.Her expression turned grim, and she fell silent for a few seconds before saying, “We’ve ended our quarantine. Yours should be ending soon.”“Mm. Xavier told me about it,” said Winnie while extending her hand to Lisanne.It was an action she used often ever since she lost her vision.Lisanne quickly stepped forward and took Winnie’s hand.Before she could speak, Winnie’s voice rang out.“You don’t have to rack your brain to comfort me. I’m fine apart from being blind temporarily,” said Winnie.“All right. I won’t say anything, then.” Lisanne, too, felt awful, for she kept feeling that she could one day end up like Winnie. Taking a deep breath, she said, “It’s very important that we have an optimistic attitude. I’m going to Rodunst to look for that scientist after this.”Winnie nodded. “Hopefully, there’ll be good news.”After all, the red markings on their bodies were not gone. No one knew if their condition would worsen in the future. Moreover, the two children, who were affected and started having nosebleeds, needed help.Not long after they bade each other farewell, Winnie was released from isolation.Winnie and Xavier could finally go home.Their car was parked directly in front of Lagune Mansion entrance.Winnie wanted to get out of the car on her own, but Xavier insisted on going down first
