Lucy had fallen asleep beside Darren's bed. Although her position wasn't very comfortable, lying on the warm and comfortable blanket was still the best sleep she had in the past few days. Even her shoulder that had been scratched by the vines seemed to have recovered quite a bit, and the pain had mostly disappeared.
"Sister … Sister!" Lucy heard Darren's voice while she was in a daze.
"Darren!" Lucy looked up immediately and met Darren's eyes.
Most of the white in Darren's deathly white eyes had actually disappeared, and they regained some of their black color and clarity. His expression was also one of surprise and surprise.
"I … I can see you. I can see Sister," Darren said in surprise as tears glistened in his eyes.
Although his vision was still a little blurry, the heavy black fog had already disappeared, and only a thin layer of fog was left. However, he could already see Lucy, who was close to the bed. It was a little blurry, but at least he could see her clearly.
"Really? You can really see me? Darren, is what you said true? "Lucy stood up immediately and grabbed Darren's shoulders agitatedly.
"Mm-hmm, I can see Sister. Sister has become prettier," Darren said with a nod as a smile appeared on his face.
"That's great, that's really great." Lucy hugged Darren tightly as her tears fell uncontrollably. She sobbed, "If Grandpa knew, he would definitely be very happy."
"He will know. Grandpa said that he has become a star. I will tell him tonight," Darren said with a choked voice.
The siblings hugged each other and cried.
Knock, knock.
There was a knock on the door, followed by Christopher's voice. "Are you awake? We are going out to eat. "
"It's Mr. Christopher." Lucy hurriedly wiped the tears off her face, and then looked at Darren seriously. "We must thank Mr. Christopher and the owner of that restaurant properly later. They were the ones who cured your eyes."
"Mm-hmm." Darren nodded obediently.
"Let's go out." Lucy stood up from the bed and watched as Darren put on his clothes. He got off the bed clumsily and put on his shoes. She then held his hand and walked towards the door.
"Grandpa, did you really give my custom-made clothes and shoes to someone else?" Beside Christopher, a young girl draped in a white mink fur cloak asked with a frown, clearly a little unhappy.
"Dorothy, I've already told you that I've given the clothes and shoes to those who need them. It's my fault for not discussing this with you. I'll get the tailor to make another set for you, but if you don't behave properly later, you'll only be able to wear old clothes next year." Christopher looked at the young lady beside him. "You should know that this lady very graciously rejected your cloak."
"This is my favorite mink cloak. I've been looking forward to it for a whole year. It seems that the lady is not bad." Dorothy raised her brow when she heard that. Her wardrobe was almost full of normal clothes and shoes, and that old-fashioned tailor would make the same clothes and shoes every year. She didn't even have to guess to know that it would be a bright red dress and bright red shoes.
Actually, she had been eyeing Suede's new products recently. She had already used her pocket money to order the latest down jacket. It was a handsome black down jacket, and it would arrive in three days. This was her first time snatching Suede's new products. She was simply too blissful.
Hence, when Grandpa said that he had given her custom-made clothes to someone else, she was only a little unhappy that her things were disposed of without her consent, but she didn't feel too bad.
On the contrary, if the other party was really someone who needed it, she actually didn't mind giving the clothes and shoes that she didn't really like to them.
Grandpa said that they were a pair of siblings who came to Chaos City from a remote mountain village to seek treatment. It did sound quite pitiful.
The door opened very quickly.
Lucy walked out holding Darren's hand.
Dorothy looked at Lucy. She was wearing a bright red and green dress, and a pair of red leather boots. They fit her rather well, just as she had expected.
The girl should be about the same age as her. She had delicate features, but looked very frail. Her face was pale, and her lips were a little pale. Her bluish-yellow hair was tied messily behind her head, and her bright eyes seemed to be a little red from crying just now.
Just one look was all it took for Dorothy's unhappiness to disappear completely. This girl did look like she really needed help. It was just a set of clothes and a pair of shoes. Moreover, she even gave her the cloak. Dorothy started to like Lucy a lot more.
Lucy also noticed Dorothy, who was standing beside Christopher. They were about the same age, so she should be the granddaughter that Mr. Christopher was talking about. Dorothy was very beautiful. She had a head of soft golden hair, snow-white skin, and a slender neck. She was as noble and elegant as a white swan. She was wearing a blue dress, and the white cloak she was wearing looked a little familiar. It seemed to be the one that Mr. Christopher wanted to give her this afternoon.
"Should the clothes and shoes I'm wearing belong to her?" Lucy suddenly felt a little embarrassed. It was as if she had snatched someone else's beloved things. She couldn't wait to take off the clothes and return them to her.
"Wow, look at Darren's eyes. The white color has faded a lot. Can you see things now?" Christopher asked excitedly.
"Mm-hmm. I can see things that are close to me now." Darren nodded, and bowed deeply to Christopher. He looked up at him, and gratefully said, "Thank you, Mr. Christopher."
"You're welcome. It's great to be able to help you." Christopher helped Darren up, and smilingly said, "It seems like the roasted pig's eyes are very effective for your eyes. Let's set off now. We'll eat 10 more skewers of roasted pig's eyes tonight. Maybe your eyes will be completely healed tomorrow morning."
"Thank you so much." Lucy also looked at Christopher gratefully.
"You're welcome." Christopher waved his hand, and smilingly introduced, "I forgot to introduce her to you. This is my granddaughter, Dorothy. She's the same age as you, Lucy. The four of us will go to Amy's for dinner tonight."
"Hello, I'm Dorothy." Dorothy went forward, and greeted them with a smile.
"Hello, I'm Lucy," Lucy said shyly. She grabbed the hem of her dress nervously. After hesitating for a while, she mustered her courage, and said, "I'll return the clothes to you as soon as possible. I'll wash my clothes immediately, and then …"
"Oh, that's okay. I think it looks better on you than on me." Dorothy smiled at Lucy, and extended her hand. "Let's be friends. In that case, you can wear my clothes, and I can wear yours."
Lucy looked at Dorothy's hand, and then at the clean and gentle smile on her face. She hesitated for a while, but still extended her hand.
"Let's go. I'll get you a coat. It's a little cold to only wear a dress." Dorothy grabbed Lucy's hand, and walked out.
"This child …" Christopher looked at Dorothy's back view, and shook his head with a smile. He also held Darren's little hand, and said, "Let's go. We'll wait for them in the carriage."
