Chapter 1043 - 52: Even If There’s Only a Sliver of Hope, I Won’t Give Up
Zimei quietly listened to him, her palms resting on her knees clenched tightly.When her parents passed away, she was pursued everywhere, and at that time, she considered reaching out to Ye Cheng.
However, overnight she went from being a wealthy heiress to an orphan with no family or home. Zimei was devastated, and she simply couldn’t face Ye Cheng in such a situation.
"I’m sorry, A Cheng," Zimei said softly.
"I’m not blaming you." Ye Cheng looked at her slightly pale face, reached out, and gently ruffled the top of her head. "I just regret not being able to be by your side back then."
Zimei nodded heavily, her nose tingling with a sharp sensation.
"A Cheng, if the results after seeing the ophthalmologist tomorrow are still not ideal..."
"It’s okay." Ye Cheng got up and sat down next to her, wrapping his arms around her: "Even if there’s only a glimmer of hope, I won’t give up."
Zimei was at a loss for words.
"It’s late, shall we rest?" he said tenderly.
The two of them lay on the bed together, embracing as they fell asleep.
There were many unknowns about tomorrow, but at this moment, nestled in the man’s broad and warm embrace, Zimei gradually stopped overthinking and soon fell asleep.
...
In the morning, since Zimei couldn’t tell if it was light yet, she naturally opened her eyes when she felt she had slept enough.
She lay in bed, instinctively reaching out to the side, finding it empty.
"A Cheng." She sat up and called softly.
Receiving no response, Zimei fumbled out of bed.
"A Cheng, where are you?" As she walked and continued to speak, unable to see and with no answers, uneasiness welled up inside her.
Ye Cheng, having finished washing up, opened the bathroom door and saw Zimei standing at the entrance, trying to open the door. He quickly walked over, grabbing her wrist: "A Zi, I’m here."
Upon hearing his voice, Zimei relaxed entirely.
"Not being able to find you made me a bit anxious," Zimei said, not hiding her emotions.
She had become accustomed to Ye Cheng being around. Not seeing him for a moment would make her feel insecure.
A wave of tenderness swept through Ye Cheng as he led her back, "I’ve ordered breakfast. After we eat, we’ll head out. Let’s freshen up now, okay?"
He guided her into the bathroom.
He took a towel, dampened it, and wiped her face, then handed her a toothbrush and a cup.
"Thank you." Zimei smiled as she took them and began to brush her teeth.
Since losing her sight, Zimei rarely put on makeup, but her skin was naturally good. Even without any makeup, she was still very beautiful.
Ye Cheng quietly watched her brush her teeth, his eyes always fixed on her clear and lovely face, gentle and calm.
"What do you feel like wearing later?" Ye Cheng asked as he led Zimei out.
"You choose. I trust your taste," Zimei said.
Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, Ye Cheng naturally had a good fashion sense. He picked out a dress for Zimei, a wine-red one with a ruffled hem. Wearing it gave off a charming vibe, which matched Zimei’s temperament.
After dressing, Zimei stood in front of the mirror, pretending to examine her appearance.
"Does it look good?" she asked.
"Beautiful, but you are prettier than the clothes," Ye Cheng replied without hesitation.
Hearing this, Zimei couldn’t help but smile.
So Ye Cheng could say things like that too.
After breakfast, the two of them went out together. Thanks to a prior appointment and recommendation letter, meeting with Professor Berlant went smoothly.
Zimei spent the entire morning undergoing various examinations, while Ye Cheng patiently stayed by her side the whole time.
