“You bluff.” Little Huo Xu seemed to realize what he was doing, and awkwardly retracted his little hand and looked straight into the eye of the gauze had been removed.
“Miss, please try to open your eyes,” the doctor said.
Lu Zhaoyang turned her eyes and blinked before slowly opened them. It seemed she could see rays of light penetrated through. It was not until her eyes were opened entirely that she could faintly see a small hand clutching her. She had been waiting for this moment for four years.
“Xuxu!” Lu Zhaoyang leaned over and excitedly drew him into her arms. “Mommy can see you now!”
“Muack!” Little Huo Xu excitedly kissed her, leaving his saliva on her face. “Yang Yang is the best!”
“Please come back to the hospital immediately if she feels anything wrong.” The doctor reminded Huo Chen.
“Sure.” Huo Chen walked the doctor to the door. He then looked at the mother and son going frolic at the bed, he felt a sense of relief.
She finally restored her eyesight, and he could finally see his reflection in her eyes again. It felt so good.
“Chen, thank you for staying with us.” Lu Zhaoyang had gotten out of bed, looking in his direction. Her right eye blinked a few times, she still could not get used to it.
“I will always be here as long as you like it,” Huo Chen said.
Little Huo Xu clapped his hands in joy. “Yang Yang can see it now! Daddy, let us give Yang Yang a treat and celebrate!”
“Do you have money? How can you pay for it at such a young age?” Lu Zhaoyang smiled as she tidied up the hair near his ears. He was sweating from the excitement.
“Xuxu will have money when I grow up. Now, daddy pays for it!” The little guy turned his eyes to Huo Chen. “Now, it is your turn to show your worth!”
“Okay, I promise I will complete the mission!” Huo Chen did a military salute; he was in a good mood.
At sunset, the family of three—two adults and a child—disappeared out of the hospital entrance.

The corneal grafting was a success. Lu Zhaoyang did not experience any rejection or adverse reactions. Huo Chen finally took a load of his mind.
When Little Huo Xu was two years old, Lu Zhaoyang found a job as a secretary in a foreign firm in Washington. Her previous experience helped. Now that her eyes had healed, she was more convinced that life would get better.
In the blink of an eye, it was the Little Huo Xu’s summer vacation.
As soon as Lu Zhaoyang came back from work, the little guy scurried up to her to help her carry her bag. “Yang Yang, you have had a long day. Muack!”
Lu Zhaoyang bent over and kissed him on the mouth and held him inside. “Have you been a good boy at home?”
“Of course! But…” The little guy suddenly paused and looked up at her, “Mommy…”
Lu Zhaoyang’s heart missed a beat. Her son rarely her called Mommy. He had been calling her name Yang Yang all this while because she preferred it to sound friendlier.
But whenever Huo Xu had a request, he would use Mommy instead.
Lu Zhaoyang rolled her eyes and squatted down to look at him. “I get it, what do you want this time?”
“It is my summer vacation. Can you take me out for a trip?” Little Huo Xu tried to act cute by shaking her arm.
“I can take leave if you want.” Lu Zhaoyang assented, realizing that her son had not gone to any places except Washington. “Where do you want to go?”
