At this moment, Lilith and the doctor hurried over. As the doctor examined Mabel Quinn’s eyes, Mabel vaguely realized that her eyes were beginning to sense light, and she could start to see some things faintly.
"Your vision should recover in about fifteen minutes," the doctor said. "But to be safe, it’s best to do a detailed examination to see if the medication has any other effects on you."
"Can I come in for the examination tomorrow?" Mabel Quinn asked, as all she wanted now was to rush to Kyle’s side.
"That’s fine, but make sure to come for the examination tomorrow to avoid any delays," the doctor replied.
Mabel Quinn nodded repeatedly. The doctor prescribed a bottle of eye drops for her to use at home. Lilith deftly paid the bill, picked up the eye drops, and supported Mabel Quinn to escort her to the hospital entrance.
Meanwhile, Mabel Quinn’s vision was gradually recovering. Upon reaching the hospital entrance, she said to Lilith, "I can see now, you don’t need to hold on to me."
"Oh, then be careful on your own," Lilith said, releasing her grip.
At this moment, Mabel Quinn spotted a taxi and hurriedly raised her hand to approach the road, trying to hail it. However, her vision had not fully recovered, and her perception of distance was still inaccurate. She leaned forward too much.
Lilith let out an exclamation, trying to pull Mabel Quinn back, but another figure was faster, rushing out and pulling Mabel back.
The vehicle roared past, and Mabel Quinn staggered into Daniel Harris’s arms.
Daniel Harris held Mabel Quinn tightly, feeling his whole body trembling... Just now, she dashed into the road, and it seemed as if the car could hit her at any moment.
If she had really been hit by the car, then he...
His heart was pounding violently, and as he pulled her into his arms, a sense of fulfillment spread through his body... The emptiness he’d felt for so many years was filled at this moment because of her.
"Do you not care about your life?" Daniel Harris asked, looking down at the person in his arms. Check latest chapters at novel[f]ire.net
Mabel Quinn was also frightened by her own actions. Coming back to her senses, she bit her lip and said, "Thank you." She had been too anxious; although she could see, her focus wasn’t accurate, and rushing out like that almost got her hit by a car.
Lilith also came running over at this point, asking with concern, "Mabel, are you alright?"
Mabel Quinn pushed Daniel Harris away and said to Lilith, "I’m fine, it was my carelessness just now."
As she spoke, Mabel once again raised her hand, intending to hail a taxi.
Daniel Harris directly grabbed Mabel Quinn’s hand and said, "Don’t call a taxi, wherever you’re going, I’ll take you."
"No need, Mr. Harris," Mabel Quinn said, pulling her hand away from Daniel Harris’s grip, "Thank you for saving me just now, but—" She paused, as if gathering the courage for words she had long thought about saying, "Mr. Harris, I think from now on, we should try to avoid any more entanglements."
After saying this, she raised her hand again, hailed a taxi, bid farewell to Lilith, and then got into the car.
Daniel Harris stood frozen in place, his posture seemingly unchanged from the moment he was rejected by Mabel Quinn. His right hand’s fingers were slightly curved, as if trying to grasp something.
But there was nothing, nothing... to hold on to...
