Chapter 528: 528: Qiao Yin Goes Blind
The next morning, Qiao Yin woke up.
Feeling groggy, a splitting headache, various parts of her body were relaying different intensities of pain.
She opened her eyes, only to find darkness.
She assumed her vision was blurred from just waking up, so she waited a while before trying to open her eyes again.
However, it was still pitch black, no light at all.
The sound of her grandmother’s surprised voice echoed in her ears: “Yinyin, are you awake?”
Qiao Yin instinctively turned towards the source of the voice, “Grandmother?”
“Yes, it’s me, Yinyin, it’s your grandmother!”
“Grandmother, can’t I see with my eyes?”
“Yes, but don’t worry, it’s only temporary. After a few days of treatment, your eyesight will be restored.”
“Oh.”
Qiao Yin relaxed, then reached out for her grandmother’s hand: “Grandmother, are you scared? What time is it? Have you eaten? Have you slept and rested?”
Shen Yujun husband had been by her side all night. Although she knew her granddaughter’s life was not in danger, she was still deeply distressed, unable to eat or sleep.
However, to prevent Qiao Yin from worrying, she said, “I have eaten, and I have slept. Don’t worry about me. Don’t move around, your arm is broken. Let me know immediately if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, don’t bear it, okay?”
“I understand.”
Qiao Yin responded weakly, sipped half a glass of water fed by her grandmother, and then fell asleep again in a daze.
When she woke up again, there were many visitors in the ward.
She couldn’t see anything, she didn’t know what time it was, or who had come, she could only identify people by their voices.
The Old Madame was here, so was Lu Yan Xi, and her cousin brought her children too. Everyone was comforting her and hustling to take care of her.
Qiao Yin felt a warmth in her heart.
After a while, even Dongfang Mu came, and he brought her a bouquet of flowers.
Though she couldn’t see the flowers, she thanked him earnestly.
Dongfang Mu was startled to see her blindness, but relaxed when her grandmother said it was only temporary.
He didn’t stay for long and left shortly.
After all, he was just Qiao Yin’s boss. Even if he wanted to take care of Qiao Yin, the reality didn’t allow him to do so, he had to leave.
Other people also left one after the other. Ye Wan went back to the clinic to oversee it, and Shen Yujun was pulled by the Old Madame to rest in the next ward.
Only Lu Yan Xi remained in the ward with Qiao Yin.
When they were alone at last, Lu Yan Xi said softly, “Yinyin, don’t you think your car accident is very peculiar? Just after Lan Yuyi’s father’s mistress died in a car accident, you had one too? Isn’t that too much of a coincidence?”
Ever since Qiao Yin divorced Lu Lingche, she stopped calling Qiao Yin her second sister-in-law.
Her current second sister-in-law was now her most disliked, Lan Yuyi.
“Indeed, it’s very strange.”
Qiao Yin agreed with Lu Yan Xi’s opinion. Being in the thick of this whirlpool, she knew there was a high probability it’s a plot, but she didn’t expect Lu Yan Xi to also be so perceptive.
So, she told Lu Yan Xi a few small details about the accident, “When that person drove towards me, he looked at me. I think he seemed to be confirming my identity, to avoid hitting the wrong person.”
“Normally, in this kind of traffic accident, who would have time to look at people? They would definitely be busy saving themselves.”
“But that person didn’t have any self-saving actions. After he hit me, his car was severely damaged, but he still drove away.”
“My car exploded a few minutes later, that person didn’t seem to be afraid of his car exploding and continued driving. He must have been injured too, but he didn’t care, he just fled.”
