Her heart was impatient. At this moment, she glanced at the closet door, which was open with a small crack.
She was just about to go to the closet to look at it when Liam walked in. "Miss. Bertha, really not. I called the company to ask, but the boss isn't there, he's probably at his grandfather's villa."
"I know, you look again, check carefully, no matter what happens, you must find him."
"Yes."
After Liam left, Bertha gently walked to the closet door. She tried not to make any noise and opened the closet door.
The man hid in the corner of the closet, his knees bent, his whole body curled up, his arms holding his shoulders. He was clutching the sleeve of his nightgown.
It's Shane.
Seeing a familiar face, Bertha breathed a sigh of relief.
She searched all morning, but found him hiding in the closet, what's going on?
Bertha quietly squatted down, she did not disturb him, she carefully observed his state.
Because she discovered that Shane didn't seem to notice her existence.
His deep black eyes were empty, lifeless, he looked at a fixed point, without any purpose.
She suddenly had an extremely bad premonition in her heart, she raised her hand in front of Shane's eyes.
Those eyes did not react at all, like a puddle of stagnant water.
Bertha covered her mouth, her eyes were red, and her tears flowed uncontrollably.
Shane, his eyes… can't see?
Trying to control the stuffiness in her chest, she carefully reached out to Shane. "Shane..."
Shane heard her voice and felt her wrist touch him, Shane trembled slightly, and he immediately raised his arm to cover his face, not letting Bertha notice his eyes.
'Why are you like that?"
Bertha wiped her tears, restrained her choking, and reached out to hug him. "Shane, don't be afraid, I'm here for you..."
Shane protested, he didn't let her hug him, his thin lips curled up in self-mockery. "Now you know that. Yes, I'm blind, I don't need anyone's pity, you go."
He originally thought that today would be like the past few days, his eyesight would slowly recover, he just needed to hide there quietly for a while.
But this time it's not like that.
His eyesight disappeared so quickly that he didn't even have time to find a way around it, he didn't have time to make arrangements for Bertha.
'Shane, I'm not going. I have to be with you. How can I pity you, I pity you."
Bertha held his hand tightly, she tried her best to make him feel safe. "I will cure you, believe me, you will be okay! You will live healthy, live to be a hundred years old! We will live a happy and peaceful life like other normal people."
Shane shook his head. "Impossible, Bertha, I don't have a chance anymore."
The virus in his body has spread.
He has completely lost his sight, perhaps soon he will lose his hearing, and the virus will slowly erode his brain nerves little by little.
Maybe he won't survive this winter.
Bertha hugged his cold face and repeated. "It'll be okay! Everything will be fine. We'll go find a doctor. If it doesn't work, I'll call my second brother, he'll cure you. Shane, If your eyes can't see, let me be your eyes. I will marry you, then we will have some lively, lovely children. I will never leave you."
Under her comfort, Shane's mood became much calmer.
He held her hand tightly as if he had found an existence that gave him a sense of comfort.
'Bertha, don't go see Bruno! Don't agree to his conditions."
Bertha hesitated.
'Bertha! You promise me. We also made it clear before."
Shane held her hand tightly, so tightly that her hand turned red.
"I promise I won't marry him, but… I'm sorry."
As soon as her words ended, her other hand hit him hard on the back of the head. She had to use all her strength to make him faint.
She hugged that man in her arms, her small face pressed against his forehead, and caressed him.
Tears fell from the corners of her eyes and disappeared into his hair.
She whispered. "Go to sleep, Shane, leave the rest to me."
Liam hurried upstairs again. When he saw the scene in the corner of the closet, he was immediately shocked. "Miss. Bertha, what's wrong with boss?"
Bertha was in no mood to explain, she just spoke. "Please carry him, let's go to the lab."
Liam didn't dare to delay. He immediately squatted down and picked up the unconscious Shane from Bertha.
After rushing to the laboratory, Edsel immediately performed chemical tests on Shane's body.
The atmosphere in the room was tense.
Edsel frowned tightly, he kept sighing. "Shane's condition is very bad. The blue medicine has lost its effectiveness, and at the same time it has side effects that cause the virus to spread faster."
"If he doesn't take the next dose of green medicine quickly, or if he doesn't find a medicine that can completely cure him, Shane won't live more than a month."
Liam was shocked. "What? In less than a month?"
Amid the heavy atmosphere, Bertha seemed calmer.
But no one could see the hand hidden in her sleeve, her fingernails dug into her palm, and she tried her best to make her voice sound calm. "You two watch Shane, I'm out on my business."
After leaving the laboratory, she sat in the car and proactively called Bruno.
Bruno's voice rose, he was extremely happy. "Oh, I didn't expect Bertha to take the initiative to call me so quickly. Let me guess, the medicine has lost its effectiveness, right?"
Bertha's eyes were filled with coldness, she tried to suppress the anger in her chest.
'Bruno, you are so shameless."
'Where am I shameless? I told you a long time ago, that you must make a decision as soon as possible, now you cause bad consequences, and I cannot be responsible."
He spoke in a gentle tone. Bertha was worried and called, it seemed that Shane's health was getting worse.
Okay, so his mood is even better.
