The topic of artificial eyes should attract even more attention. It shouldn’t be this quiet.”Xavier responded firmly, “I understand what you mean. Even if there are no artificial eyes created, we’ll make one on our own. So, go ahead and call that old classmate of yours. Whether he made no progress or was forced to stop for some reason, we can take over and continue with the research. It doesn’t matter if it takes ten, twenty, or even thirty years. I’m willing to pay for all of it even if I go bankrupt.”Josiah’s lips curled to form a bitter smile. “It shouldn’t cause you to go bankrupt, but that sentence gave me confidence.”Xavier patted Josiah’s shoulder and prompted, “Hurry up and call him.”“Okay.” Josiah cast the examination room one last glance before turning around to leave.The examination results were not promising, but Winnie had already expected that.Xavier, too, had slowly learned to accept the truth.After all, he was determined not to make Winnie’s blindness a permanent condition. I’ll definitely find a way to make her see again. That day will come. I’m sure of it!After leaving the hospital, Winnie returned to the quarantine room.Before the surgery, Winnie had only believed the success rate was fifty-fifty despite Xavier and the others telling her how high it was.She had known she could either stay blind or recover, and each possibility had a fifty percent chance.Thus, she did not tell the Speiser family about it, not until she had a clear answer.After all, there was a possibility of her seeing again after the surgery.Now that the surgery had failed, she needed to let the family know about it.Besides, she needed to seek the Speiser family’s help.The moment she entered the quarantine room, she grabbed her phone and called Wilhelm to tell him everything.

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
