Bradley had not returned to the Xis for a whole week. Nacho even sent people to look for him, but he did not find him.
Nacho took Amelia back home and let her live in the villa. He asked some famous doctors to check her eyes. Finally, it turned out that Amelia's eyes could still be cured, but it was very troublesome and the chance of curing her eyes was terribly slim.
When Amelia heard that her eyes could still be cured, she was so happy, but when she heard the doctor say that she was very hard to be cured, she was a little disappointed.
"No matter the chance is slim or high, as long as there is a chance, we will have a try. Tell us what kind of medicinal you need." With a straight face, Nacho stared at the doctor and asked him seriously.
The doctor looked at Nacho and explained, "Things are like this. Miss Xi's eyeballs are damaged, but there is no problem with her eye nerves. If she wants to see again, she needs a pair of new eyeballs. This kind of operation is very dangerous. At present, the only doctor who knows how to perform this kind of operation is the German doctor, Pleco."
"Invite him to Beijing." When Cedric heard that, he immediately ordered his assistant to invite Pleco to Beijing. The doctors looked at each other and did not speak.
With the status of the Gu family and the Xis, it would not be a problem for them to invite Pleco to Beijing. The key lay in the eyeballs.
"It may take a long time to find suitable eyeballs."
"Yeah, I'll do it at any cost."
Nacho's face darkened and he said coldly.
In order to cure Amelia, he could sacrifice anything and pay any price.
Amelia was the princess of the Xis. She had suffered a lot, which was a severe blow to Cedric and Nacho.
Cornell had been living in the Xis to accompany Amelia. Because they had got married, Mignon and Joanna had no way to drive him out.
Cornell treated Amelia very well, and he was very considerate, which made the people in the Xis have very complicated feelings in their hearts.
After more than a month's selection, they found a pair of suitable eyeballs successfully. When the doctor told this to Nacho, everyone was very delighted.
Amelia was also very happy, because she would be able to see soon.
Then she begun to receive treatment. Before she could receive the surgery, she needed to be treated for a period of time.
Bradley never appeared in front of Amelia again. Christ seemed to miss Bradley very much. He sat in Amelia's arms, leaned his head against her and looked up at her, asking, "Mom, where is dad?"
Hearing this, Amelia's hand, which was holding the chopsticks, paused slightly.
Cornell sat next to Amelia. When he saw Amelia like this, he took over the chopsticks from Amelia's hand.
He pinched Christ's cheek gently and said with a chuckle, "Christ, do you miss your dad?"
Christ blinked his eyes and looked at Cornell seriously.
"Dad hasn't been home for many days. I miss him so much."
Cornell hid the annoyance in his eyes. When he was about to speak, Mignon came in.
She glanced at Cornell, then walked to Amelia and said in her ear, "Abigail, Bradley is back. He wants to see you."
Bradley had been missing for so many days, and no one knew where he had gone.
They thought that perhaps it was because Bradley could not accept the fact that Amelia and Cornell were together that he hid himself.
Cornell heard what Mignon said to Amelia. He leaned his head over and wanted to hear it more clearly.
Amelia frowned a little, but she didn't answer Mignon. Christ heard what Mignon said. He shook Amelia's arm and said, "Mom... Dad is back. Go to see him, okay?" Christ's voice was full of pleading. Amelia knew that Christ really wanted her and Bradley to be together again.
"Okay, I'll go to see him." Amelia agreed. Christ was very happy and even came down from Amelia's arms obediently.
Mignon helped Amelia leave. Cornell did not say anything and ate quietly.
Bradley sat in Amelia's bedroom. There were some bruises on his face and arms. It seemed that he had vented his anger in the boxing gym.
Amelia couldn't see him, so she didn't know that there were wounds on Bradley's body.
When Mignon helped Amelia come in, Bradley was very excited.
He got up and walked to Amelia. His approach stimulated Amelia's nerves.
She could sense that Bradley was approaching her.
"Amelia, I'll change myself." Bradley reached out and held Amelia's face with his wounded hands, trembling.
Amelia's nose was stimulated by the faint smell of blood.
Her eyelashes trembled a little. She did not move and allowed Bradley to touch her face. Then Bradley held her in his arms and she heard his breathing.
Bradley said, "Amelia, I love you very much. I know that I did something wrong, I will change. Would you like... to forgive me?"
Amelia pinched her palm hard unconsciously. Bradley continued to say, "I will change. You like Tyrone, and I will become what he looks like. I'm so sorry that I hurt you. Because of me, you became blind. Are you willing to give me another chance?"
Bradley's cautious voice was full of pleading, loneliness, and even sorrowful pleas.
His words touched the bottom of Amelia's heart indeed. She even wanted to tell Bradley that she wanted to forgive him.
But she couldn't say that as soon as she thought of Cornell.
She didn't want to let Cornell down. She owed Cornell.
"Sorry, Cornell and I have got married. Bradley, you should know this."
"So... you don't want to... be with me... Right?" Bradley raised his head, looked at Amelia and said in a hoarse voice.
Amelia pretended to be calm, she forced herself to be ruthless, as if she did not hear Bradley's sad and painful words.
"Yes, we broke up a long time ago. You didn't believe me and caused me to suffer a lot, if it weren't for you, how could I become blind? I hate you, Bradley."
Did... Amelia say that she hated Bradley?
Amelia...
Bradley seemed to have lost all his strength in an instant.
He leaned against the wall slowly and looked at Amelia with a pair of desperate eyes stubbornly.
"Abigail." Standing aside and looking at Bradley and Amelia, Mignon felt a little grieved in her heart.
She felt more or less distressed when she saw Bradley like this. Bradley made a mistake indeed, but he was framed by Nelly. Seeing Bradley like this, she felt very complicated.
Amelia turned her head, reached out and fumbled for the way ahead.
"Mignon, I don't want to see Bradley. As long as I see him, I will think of the heart-wrenching pain I had when I lost my eyes." Amelia tried her best to restrain her emotions and said in a hoarse voice.
Mignon reached out to hold Amelia's arm and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll take you out of here."
