Jovan immediately picked up on Eloise's hesitation and asked, "What's wrong? Is it inconvenient?"

"No, it's just that... Is it really necessary that you meet her?" Eloise initially wanted to come up with an excuse to

reject his request, but he would surely get suspicious if she kept saying no.

"Of course," Jovan said earnestly. "She's going to bear the suffering I've been going through for the rest of her life if

she gives her eyes to me. She'll practically be giving me a new life, so of course I have to meet my benefactor."

"Okay, I'll arrange a meeting for the both of you then..." Eloise felt it was best that she let Jovan meet Renee for a

while before the surgery to erase any suspicions. "I'll ask her to come to the manor at ten o'clock tomorrow

morning so the both of you can talk."

"You've done well, Elly." It was the first time Jovan praised Eloise openly. He turned his face towards the sky and took

in a deep breath, feeling like freedom was already in his grasp. "I'll be able to see the moon in a few days."

Eloise pushed Jovan back to his room and waited for him to fall asleep, then went to the basement again.

Renee was still paralyzed from the waist down, but remained calm. She looked as if she was patiently waiting for

the surgery.

"I've just spoken to Mr. Hunt, and he's agreed to undergo the surgery in three days. However, I... didn't tell him that

you're the donor," Eloise explained to Renee.

Renee opened her eyes and looked up at the white ceiling, smiling bitterly. "Of course, you can't tell him. He won't

say yes if he knows it's me. After all, he only agreed to give up his sight for my sake."

"You're right. You'll just be returning Mr. Hunt's favor. As for the rest, it's between you and Stefan. He should be held

responsible for you since he owes you a pair of eyes," Eloise said rather sharply. Although she was surprised by

Renee's consent, she hadn't forgiven her entirely. After all, it was Renee who had put Jovan in this position in the

first place.

"I don't need anyone to be held responsible for me because I caused it. I'll be responsible for myself." Renee had

never thought of asking Stefan for help after giving up her eyes. In fact, she had already studied Braille in case she

ever needed to return Jovan's favor one day. She had been through many hardships, so even if she lost her sight,

she knew she would still make a name for herself.

"You're quite a rational person. No wonder Mr. Hunt is so obsessed with you." Eloise stared at Renee curiously,

feeling that she was quite an exceptional person. Many people would have gone crazy at the thought of losing their

sight, and they would surely try to run away, but it seemed like Renee had accepted her fate and would take charge

of her life nonetheless.

"With all this bad luck I have, I have no choice but to be optimistic," Renee smiled and said calmly.

Eloise felt her suspicions fade, and told Renee, "Mr. Hunt wants to meet the donor and talk to her. I already set the

time for tomorrow morning, so could you... pretend to be a poor female student?" Eloise could always get a female

student to act, but she felt that it would be a great regret if they didn’t meet.

"Sure." Renee was looking forward to it. "I'll lose my sight in three days; I won't have any regrets if I get to see the

outside world before then."
