“Princess, we’ve got a contact in place. You get some rest now, and you’ll have a new cornea in three days.”
The woman muttered forlornly, “My cornea is damaged?”
“Yes, Your Highness,” her guard replied.
“It’s not a problem, Xiao Rou. We’ve already found a donor. Soon, you’ll be able to see again.”
“I’m not doing it.”
“What are you talking about, Xiao Rou?”
“Princess!” Jing Xinze could not believe his ears either.
She snapped with a glare, “I don’t want anyone else’s cornea.”
“Xiao Rou, don’t be stubborn. Your cornea is severely damaged and needs to be changed. Otherwise, you’ll lose your eye.”
Severely damaged…
Hatred welled up in her heart when she heard those words. It’s that d*mned woman’s fault! It’s all because of Ye Erruo! She is the reason I’m going blind now! She has to pay for the damage she caused!
Gu Feirou added eerily, “I don’t want anyone else’s cornea. I only want my own or the cornea of the person who caused me this pain!”
Jing Xinze was shocked to hear that. “Princess, tell me honestly. Did someone try to harm you?”
He had not been inside the hall when the incident had happened. By the time he had gone in, she had already been lying on the floor injured.
The woman looked away expressionlessly. “I don’t want somebody else’s cornea.”
Her personal guard blamed himself excessively. The queen had handed the princess over to him, yet a momentary lapse had caused her to lose one eye. How was he going to answer to the queen?
“Alright!” he answered with strong affirmation.
“Whoever caused this to the princess will have to pay with their eye!”
Lin Jingxuan, who was beside her, held her hand and said, “Xiao Rou, I’ll get you whatever you want.”
Lukewarm tears instantly rolled down the corner of her eyes when she heard that. Clinging onto his arm, she lamented. “Brother Jingxuan, it was that b*tch, Ye Erruo! She’s the one who harmed me. She kicked me and caused me to fall, so I was unable to take cover. That’s how I got cut by a broken piece of crystal.”
Jing Xinze’s face darkened even more when he heard Ye Erruo’s name. It was that woman again? This isn’t the first or second time she has caused distress to the royal princess.
2She even dared to scheme against the princess today?
Well, well, well… We’ll see about that!
Lin Jingxuan had an unfathomable look in his eyes. “Xiao Ruo? Did she kick you?”
When she heard him refer to her nemesis so intimately, her fists tightened unconsciously. “Yes, it was her!”
“Princess, don’t get agitated. You better rest first.” Jing Xinze was very mindful of her health and constitution.
“Young Master Lin, can I have a word with you?”
Lin Jingxuan shot a puzzled look at the guard before turning to Gu Feirou. “Xiao Rou, you lie down and rest for now. I’ll come over to check on you later.”
The woman pursed her lips and lay down on the bed without replying.
Outside the hospital room…
“What’s wrong?”
“Master Lin, I was told that Ye Erruo was your former girlfriend.”
“Yes, what about that?” The man did not intend to hide this fact.
“That woman has caused damage to the princess’s eye. You have to bear part of the responsibility.”
“What do you mean by that?” The man fired back a question frigidly.
“You want to be with the princess only because you need her for your power struggle over the Lins’ inheritance. You have another woman out there who looks exactly like your former girlfriend. Do you think I don’t know that?” Jing Xinze told him off chillingly.
The other man became even more hostile. “What are you trying to tell me?”
“You want to make use of Blue Tower’s power to win the Lin empire but you can’t forget that woman. How do you think the princess will feel if she finds out?”
“I don’t know what you are talking about. My heart only belongs to Xiao Rou. Who are you, a mere servant, to doubt my sincerity?”
The guard sneered, “Young Master Lin, I’ll give you two options: You can either get that woman’s cornea using your own means, forget her, and treat our princess well, or…”
