She should be able to find corneas in at least sparts of the world.
She dialed Ben's number. After Ben picked up the call, he complained, "Didn't you puton your blacklist? Why did you pullout again?” "lI was so angry last night! | shouldn't blyou, but you and my brother have a close relationship. You two do everything together." "He and | are business partners; it doesn't mean we both have the sattitude towards relationships." Ben retorted, "He is a little weird to Avery this time; | think he suspects that this was done by Mike. You know that Mike and Avery have a closer relationship thanand Elliot." "My God! Do you mean Elliot suspects that Ruby was killed by Avery?" Lilith's jaw dropped in shock.
"lI don't know exactly what he was thinking. He is in a dark mood and has no desire to talk at all. Even if | ask him, he won't say anything. | just made this guess based on his attitude towards Avery." Ben had thought a lot after learning about Avery's blindness.
It was the only answer he felt was closest to the truth.

| know them better." Ben frowned when he heard her crying voice.
"Stop saying that! | don't want to hear it anymore!" "Okay, | won't talk about it. Did you go to see Avery today? How is she?" Ben changed the subject.
"She's not very good... Although she acted as if everything was fine, she still lacks the corneas needed for the surgery." Lilith said this and couldn't help choking on her tears, "Ben, can you go to Aryadelle to see if there are healthy corneas? If there are, Avery can have surgery in half a month... If you can help Avery find the cornea, I..." "I'll look for it right away! You don't have to promiseanything; Avery and | are friends from the start. Even if she divorces Elliot, it's still hers and Elliot's business, >f, >QKQ> it won't affecttreating her as my friend." Ben interrupted Lilith.
Lilith was poignant and ashamed that she had blocked him last night.
Apparently, smatters were not as onesided as she thought.
A week later, Ben found shealthy corneas in Aryadelle.
After he called Lilith to tell her about it, he prepared to send the corneas to Bridgedale in person.
He wanted to see Avery with his own eyes.
After Lilith thanked him, he happily called Mike about it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMike's response was a little cold. "She may not accept it. After all, she might think Ben and Elliot are more or less the same." Lilith was shocked. "Mike, you have to persuade her! The surgery has to be performed! What will she do with her life if she doesn't get back her sight?" "It's not as scary as you think. Even if we can't find the corneas now, there will be available corneas sometlater; even if we really can't find fresh corneas, there is still the option of an artificial cornea." Mike said.
"Oh...but Ben has already booked a flight ticket and intends to deliver the cornea he found in person," Lilith said.
"Then let him come! When he brings the corneas, let Avery choose for herself." Although Mike was displeased with Ben, when it cto Avery's health, all grievances could be put aside.
The results of Avery's second eye examination after the operation were great.
The doctors hospitalized her immediately.
She wondered aloud, "I thought there wasn't a donor yet?" "Didn't Mike tell you? Your friend from Aryadelle sent you scorneas." The doctor said, "Do you want to use a human or an artificial cornea? | suggest you use a human..." "Which friend?" Avery's expression suddenly becsolemn.
She stretched out her hand and fumbled around, trying to get hold of Mike.
Mike immediately took her hand and explained in a low voice, "It was sent by Ben. | didn't tell you beforehand because | feared it would affect your mood." "Oh..." Avery got the answer, and the expression on her face quickly recovered," I'll use an artificial cornea."
