[ABO] After Accidental Marking, I Became Everyone’s Darling chapter 49
Chapter 49
“Severe eye damage.” Hearing this, An Le’s heart clenched.
He had finally gotten money, finally mustered the courage to come see a doctor despite his fear, only to receive this result.
He couldn’t speak, didn’t even have the courage to ask. Xiao Xiao’s expression wasn’t good either, but her situation was better than his. She quietly asked the doctor, “Doctor, can his eyes be cured?”
The doctor looked a little embarrassed. “How long has this been going on?”
An Le’s voice trembled slightly. “Seven years.”
He was thirteen at that time. Although his personality was still timid, as he grew older, he felt that he had grown up, and his rebellious spirit emerged, gradually developing a rebellious mind.
Since his mother died when he was eight, he lived under An Qiang’s control for five years without any effective resistance. In the following years, he was well-behaved, causing those watching him and the An family to relax their vigilance.
So, when no one was home and those watching him were out playing, he secretly called the Omega Protection Association.
An hour later, people from the Omega Protection Association came and forcibly broke into his home to find him.
Those people were angry when they saw his condition, repeatedly saying they would protect him, save him.
But half an hour later, An Qiang came back. They didn’t know what to say, and those who said they would protect him left and never came back.
In the end, he didn’t receive help, but a slap from An Qiang.
An Qiang’s strength was great. He was beaten and fell, his side hitting the low coffee table in front of the sofa.
It was precisely his eye socket that hit the sharp corner of the coffee table, damaging his eye.
His left eye went blind instantly, and the pain made him feel like his eye was exploding. His ears were also buzzing.
But An Qiang didn’t check on him. Ignoring his crying, he simply scolded him and then locked him up.
At that time, An Le hid in the small room, grateful that his eye hadn’t bled or exploded on the spot.
After several days, the pain in his eye subsided. He could vaguely see a little, but when he covered his right eye, he could see almost nothing.
Because of one act of rebellion, he lost an eye and an ear. So, he remained quiet for four years. Even when he had the chance to escape, he didn’t dare to go far, always returning when no one noticed.
He was afraid that if he ran away and was caught, he would lose his other eye and ear as well.
Until he met Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao helped him truly escape the An family.
Recalling these past events, An Le’s tears flowed uncontrollably.
He was beautiful, sitting there silently crying. Not only did Xiao Xiao feel distressed and couldn’t bear to watch, even the doctor couldn’t stand it.
He quickly said, “Don’t worry, don’t cry. It’s not impossible. Your eye still has a little… bit of vision. I, I’ll visit my teacher later and see what he says, okay?”
An Le lowered his head and didn’t speak. Xiao Xiao eagerly said, “Thank you, doctor. Please help us. Eyes are so important to a person, they really can’t be lost. Please.”
“No need to beg me. Actually, his eye can be treated, but the risk is too high, and it’s not certain that his eyesight can be restored, so it’s very difficult. I dare not easily operate, but my teacher might be able to.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll call him right away.”
As the doctor spoke, he got up and went to the restroom in the back to make a phone call.
An Le lowered his head. He suddenly remembered that Xiao Xiao had previously told him not to get checked before the wedding. Now, he seemed to understand why.
He looked up at Xiao Xiao and whispered, “Xiao Xiao, did you foresee this result?”
Xiao Xiao frowned. Some things were really unavoidable. Why hadn’t she taken An Le to the hospital in the past two years?
First, it was because they didn’t have money. Second, when she met An Le, his eye had already been injured for four years. They truly escaped the An family five years ago. So much time had passed; it was hard to say whether it could be cured.
If she had taken him to the hospital for an examination, and the doctor said it couldn’t be cured, An Le’s mental state certainly wouldn’t have recovered to its current level.
An Le needed to see the light, to see hope in life, only then could he walk out of the darkness.
It was the same before the wedding. She was afraid that her worries might be true and would affect An Le’s mood.
Xiao Xiao: “Le Le, don’t worry. Didn’t the doctor say that his teacher might have a way?”
An Le didn’t speak again, but subconsciously grabbed Xiao Xiao’s hand.
Xiao Xiao patted his head and comforted him, “Really, don’t be afraid. His teacher must be very skilled and will definitely cure you. After we know the details, let’s check your ears, okay?”
His eyes were already like this; his ears… maybe he shouldn’t treat them. He didn’t dare to go again.
An Le shook his head, “Ears, let’s forget it. It doesn’t really affect anything.”
His ears were different from his eyes. If he didn’t hear someone clearly, he could ask them to repeat it; no one would notice he was deaf.
But if his eyes couldn’t see, it would be easily discovered. So, he wouldn’t treat his ears; it didn’t really affect his life.
Besides, his ears, like his eyes, had been like this for so many years. They probably couldn’t be cured either.
It was better not to check.
Xiao Xiao’s face immediately fell. “How can you not treat it? You saved up your money for these two years, your hope for these two years was to cure your eyes and ears!”
An Le was covered in tears. He shook his head, not daring to look into Xiao Xiao’s eyes.
Xiao Xiao knelt in front of him, holding his shoulders, “An Le, look at me. Your ears must be treated!”
“No, no treatment!”
An Le resolutely shook his head, “Xiao Xiao, I won’t treat it. I really don’t want to treat it anymore, please.”
He was afraid. He was afraid of hearing a message similar to a death sentence from the doctor’s mouth.
He didn’t want to hear it again, not even once.
If he wasn’t afraid of people noticing his eye problems, he would have left long ago. He absolutely didn’t want to stay in this place.
Seeing An Le’s emotions becoming increasingly agitated, Xiao Xiao didn’t dare to stimulate him anymore. She swallowed many things she wanted to say. No matter what happened, she had to wait until An Le calmed down.
Otherwise, if she attracted the bodyguard outside, Lu Heng would know about it.
That was also what An Le was afraid of.
Although she felt that since Lu Heng had married An Le, he shouldn’t dislike him.
But Lu Heng was so excellent and so rich, and An Le was so self-deprecating. The mental states of these two people weren’t on the same level. If she told Lu Heng rashly, what if Lu Heng disliked An Le because of this, An Le would completely collapse.
“Okay, no treatment, no treatment.”
Xiao Xiao comforted him, “Don’t get excited. Let’s see what the doctor’s teacher says, okay?”
An Le still lowered his head, his emotions clearly somewhat resistant, but he still nodded.
The two waited for a while, and the doctor finally came out.
The doctor said, “You’re lucky. My teacher just returned to China for a vacation. Otherwise, we’d have to suggest you go abroad to see a doctor.”
“My teacher might take a while to come. You go sit outside first. I’ll see the next patient. I’ll call you when my teacher arrives, otherwise I won’t be able to see all my patients today.”
Xiao Xiao nodded. “Thank you, doctor.”
After speaking, she pulled An Le out.
The next patient came in.
Li Jie saw them come out and thought they were done. He was bored and was about to leave when he saw the two sitting down on the chairs in the corridor again.
He ran over to see, “Why aren’t you leaving?”
Then he noticed that An Le’s eyes were red like a little rabbit. His mind froze for a moment, “Why are you crying? Did that broken doctor bully you?”
An Le didn’t speak.
Xiao Xiao helplessly glared at him, “Can you be a little more considerate? Le Le has already met enough bad people in his life. Can’t you think that the people he meets in the future will all be good people?”
Li Jie: …
He only asked a question. It was a show of concern, why was this little beta scolding him?
However, because Lu Heng had asked him to investigate many times, and he had also listened to An Le’s recording last time, he knew how tragic An Le’s past was… even he wanted to sigh, pitiful.
However, he hadn’t thought about how to say the next words yet.
Xiao Xiao took out one hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to him, “Don’t you love money? Here you go. Whatever happens, don’t tell Lu Heng about Le Le’s condition. Also, Le Le’s eyes aren’t very good, take extra care of him. As long as you take good care of him, I’ll give you as much money as you want.”
“But today, there’s only 100 yuan, no more.”
Today, Li Jie had already received a thousand yuan from her and Le Le.
Xiao Xiao felt it was painful to think about it, and couldn’t give any more.
Li Jie hadn’t spoken yet; he didn’t know what little secrets these two had, and he even bribed him with money.
But who would dislike more money?
Li Jie put the money in his pocket, then nodded, “OK, don’t worry, the mission will be completed.”
Although there weren’t many people in the corridor, there were still strangers from time to time. Worried that An Le would be scared, Xiao Xiao kept holding An Le.
After Li Jie finished speaking, he didn’t speak again, because he thought this person was a little unscrupulous.
But after thinking about it, he said to Li Jie again, “Le Le’s mood isn’t very good now, go get a glass of water.”
Li Jie: “Me?”
He never thought this little beta would be so bold and even asked him to get water.
Li Jie laughed, “I can’t let him leave my sight; otherwise, I’ll be docked my pay.”
Xiao Xiao gritted her teeth and took out another 100 yuan from her pocket and threw it to him, “Take it, there’s a water dispenser in the doctor’s room. You can get it in less than a minute!”
She also wanted to get water, but An Le was holding her waist, and she didn’t dare to pry An Le’s hand away.
Li Jie took the money and said helplessly, “Fine, I’ll reluctantly get you a glass of water.”
Li Jie’s attitude was arrogant, making Xiao Xiao angry enough to want to beat him.
Soon, Li Jie came out with water.
Xiao Xiao fed An Le some water and sat with him for a while. She kept talking to An Le, diverting his attention.
When the doctor’s teacher arrived, An Le’s mood had returned to normal.
The doctor’s teacher was a male alpha named Li Xiao. He looked to be in his fifties, but he looked very young. As soon as he arrived, the doctor went to greet him.
Doctor Li smiled and introduced his friend to his apprentice, and that friend was also an alpha, and they happened to all know each other.
Lu Heng’s uncle—Gu Chen.
Li Jie watched the two naive little things freeze at the door, and burst out laughing.
Xiao Xiao was dumbfounded. It’s over. She didn’t have that much money to bribe this super-rich boss. She’d already spent all her future money; this boss might not even look at her.
Le Le is finished, finished.
An Le and Xiao Xiao had the same thought. Gu Chen and Lu Heng had a good relationship. Now that he had discovered that Lu Heng had eye problems, he would definitely tell Lu Heng. What should he do?
An Le’s heart was filled with turmoil, and his emotions became more and more out of control. But when he thought that Gu Chen would tell Lu Heng, he suppressed the turmoil in his heart and tried to look as normal as possible.
But at this moment, his phone rang suddenly, startling him. He picked it up to see that it was Lu Heng calling.
Tears streamed down his cheeks. An Le hesitated for a moment before answering, suppressing his tears and whispering, “Sir.”
