Chapter 1428


    Sonia received her prescribed sses three hours after the eye examination.


    She had to hand it to Tim. He indeed had an eye for aesthetics.


    Earlier, he asked her if she had any preferences or requirements regarding the sses while he was


    filling out the necessary information for her prescription.


    She had been anxious to obtain her sses as soon as possible, so she simply imed that she had


    no preferences and allowed him to fill out the form as he pleased.


    She was afraid that the department working on her sses might not be able to prepare her sses in


    a short time if she had too many requirements. That was the real reason for her hasty answer.


    It was not because she was indifferent toward her appearance.


    Therefore, she ended up leaving all the decisions to Tim. She didn''t care whether the prescribed


    sses turned out to be hideous. At this moment, it didn''t even matter if they were beyond ugly. The


    most crucial point was that they could allow her to see clearly. Besides, she could simply get a new pair


    of ssester.


    Unexpectedly, Tim''s eye for aesthetics was perfect. The sses that he had prepared for her were


    gorgeous.


    He had prepared half-rimmed sses with delicate gold frames along the lower edges of the sses


    for her. The upper part wasn’t framed, and both lenses wererge and round. Combined with two sexy


    anti-slip chains, she looked intelligent and refined when she wore them.


    She was stunned by her reflection in the mirror.


    She never imagined that she would be so suited to such elegance one day.


    "How is it? It looks good, right?" Tim leaned against the doorframe of her hospital ward and asked


    smugly.


    Sonia fiddled with the anti-slip chains hanging down the sides of her face. "Not bad. But why did you


    add these chains?"


    "Firstly, because it looks good. You gave me the right to choose the style of your sses. I couldn''t let


    you down, right?" He entered and stared at her reflection approvingly. "Secondly, because it''s the first


    time you''re wearing sses. You will need some time to get used to them. Not to mention, you have a


    small and delicate face shape. So, the sses might not stay on your face without sliding off. Hence, I


    added the chains to increase the weight of the sses and prevent them from slipping off."


    "I see." She nodded and touched the bridge of her nose. "You''re right. It''s my first time wearing


    sses, and I''m not used to the weight on my nose bridge. This spot feels very weird.''


    "You''ll get used to it." He stretched out his hand toward her.


    She understood his intentions, so she took off her sses and handed them to him. Unfortunately, her


    vision immediately became blurry again.


    He took the sses and examined them carefully. After he confirmed that there were no visible defects,


    he took out a piece of cloth to clean them. "I can get you special permission to skip the queue for


    corneal transntation surgery if you can''t get used to them."


    There was no shortage of corneas. After all, the cornea provided by a donor could be used to restore


    the eyesight of three to four people.


    In that case, why were there so many people in the world who could not wait for a perfect match?


    The reason was that there were too many visually impaired people in the world. Therefore, even


    without a shortage of corneas, they could not provide enough to supply every visually impaired person.


    That was why most people generally had to wait for the surgery to be done.


    If one stood at the front of the waiting list, then it would not take long for them to receive surgery. Yet, if


    they stood at the back of the waiting list, then they would have to wait for their turn. Some might even


    need to wait for several years before their turnes.


    Naturally, Sonia would also be ced on the waiting list.


    It was just that she could borrow the influence of the people around her to skip the queue and receive


    surgery as soon as possible.


    Still, she was not willing to abuse her friend''s connections. It was not like her eyes had gonepletely


    blind, so she could afford to wait for her turn.


    If she were to skip the queue for such selfish reasons, then it would be highly unfair to the others who


    had also genuinely lost their sight.


    Hence, she decided to wait.


    "Sometimes, it''s okay to be a little selfish." Tim returned the cleaned sses to her.


    She took the sses from him and wore them again. Her vision changed from blurry to crystal clear in


    an instant.


    She smiled and retorted, "If there''s no other choice and I was forced into a corner, then I might choose


    to be selfish. But I have not been backed into that desperate situation. I am probably luckier than most


    visually impaired people, so I won''t snatch away their opportunity to regain their eyesight. That would


    be immoral of me."


    "In that case, I''ll do as you wish." He shrugged and did not insist upon the issue. Then, he asked, "How


    is your vision? Can you see well?"


    "Yes." She nodded. "It''s clearer than before I had trouble with my eyesight."


    "That''s a relief."


    During their conversation, a nurse appeared outside the room. " Director Lancaster, President Fuller''s


    heart has arrived."


    As soon as Sonia heard those words, she immediately leaped up from the couch in excitement.


    She stood up too quickly, causing the anti-slip chains on both sides of her face to dance wildly. As a


    result, they pped her face painfully like a reminder to be careful.


    Nevertheless, she ignored the pain. All she could focus on was that Toby''s heart was finally here!


    "Dr. Lancaster." She quickly nced at Tim.


    Tim could read her like a book as he instructed the nurse, "Store the heart safely. We will make the


    necessary arrangements when the physical examination resultse out."


    "Okay." The nurse left to make the necessary arrangements.


    Sonia inquired anxiously, "When will the results of the physical examination be ready?"


    "It should be soon," Tim gave an uncertain answer.


    He had not paid attention to Toby''s physical examination, so he had no idea when the results would be


    done. That was why he could only give a vague answer.


    She chewed on her lip. "Can I wait there?"


    "You are free to go anywhere you want since your sight is back." He did not restrict her movements.


    She smiled gratefully and quickly ran out of his office.


    Sonia was not ustomed to the sses as this was her first time wearing them. The chains on both


    sides of her face danced wildly when she ran down the corridor, hitting her cheeks and neck painfully.


    Ultimately, she had no choice but to hold the two chains in ce. Only then did she prevent herself


    from feeling the sting of the chains against her skin.


    It didn''t take long for her to arrive at the appraisal room, where the physical examination results would


    be ready. When she saw that Tom was pacing back and forth, she called out to him.


    It didn''t take long for her to arrive at the appraisal room, where the physical examination results would


    be ready. When she saw that Tom was pacing back and forth, she called out to him.


    Tom turned around and saw the sses on her face, then he asked worriedly, "Miss Reed, can you see


    now?"


    "Yeah." She nodded.


    He seemed happy. "That''s great. Did you alsoe here to wait for the result of President Fuller''s


    physical examination?"


    "Yes. I wanted to know whether Toby could receive surgery tonight." She came to stand beside him.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    He inhaled deeply and confided, "Me too. That''s why I came here immediately as soon as the heart


    arrived."


    "Same here. I rushed here as soon as I heard that the heart had arrived," she said.


    They were the people who cared the most about Toby. So, it was only natural that they were concerned


    about whether he could undergo surgery as soon as possible.


    After that, Sonia and Tom did not speak again. Instead, they simply waited quietly for the results to be


    out.


    After they had waited for approximately half an hour, the results were finally put together.


    The results indicated that Toby was in good health and could immediately undergo surgery.


    As soon as Sonia read those words, she felt tears swimming in her eyes. She was truly over the moon.


    The same was true for Tom. He clutched the report tightly, feeling so emotional that his eyes reddened


    with tears.


    Afterward, they went to Tim''s office to inform him about the results so that he could prepare for the


    surgery tonight.


    To their surprise, the one who opened the door was not Tim but one of his nurses. "Please rest


    assured, Director Lancaster was informed of the results earlier. He has already gone to rest in the


    lounge, and the surgery will take ce on time tonight."


    There were several more hours until night. Moreover, there was no saying how long the surgery would


    last.


    That was why Tim had to rest to ensure that he had enough stamina for the surgery tonight.


    The reason Sonia and Tom came to the office was not only to inform Tim about the results of Toby''s


    physical examination but also to ensure that he got enough rest.


    For that reason, they both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the nurse saying that he had


    already gone to rest.


    Sonia exchanged a nce with Tom when they walked out of Tim''s office. "Mr. Brown, you should also


    get some rest. Your eyes are extremely bloodshot. I''m sure you didn''t get enough rest recently."


    Tom rubbed his eyes in fatigue. "I barely had time to rest over the past few days. After President


    Fuller''s ident, I had to travel back and forth between the hospital and thepany. So, I didn''t have


    any time to rest."


    "All the more reason to take this opportunity to get some shut-eye."


    "No. I want to apany President Fuller during the surgery."


    "Toby''s surgery will only take ce at night. There are a few more hours to go. You have not been


    resting well recently. How will you have the energy to apany himter?" she scolded him


    disapprovingly. "You should go and get some rest."


    His sluggish brain thought it over, and he felt that her words made sense. Hence, he did not refuse her


    suggestion and nodded in agreement. "What about you, Miss Reed?" Tim asked.
