Upon hearing the words “Celestial Alliance,” Meredith looked surprised. She remembered Selene’s expression when she refused her. Could it be…?


    “The person who shot at you was also from the Celestial Alliance?” Meredith’s heart tightened. “When did you offend the Celestial Alliance? Will theye after you again?”


    If it was someone from the Celestial Alliance, Meredith naturally felt anxious. Selene’s hesitation earlier might have been because she already knew about this.


    Terrence’s voice was calm and deep: “I don’t know anyone from the Celestial Alliance, nor do I have any dealings with them. But if Leyton wasn’t lying, then the person behind Ethan Channing is the founder of the Celestial Alliance, Mr. Hawthorne.”


    “Selene is out of contact now; otherwise, we could ask her some questions.” Meredith frowned. “Could it be that Mr. Hawthorne silenced people to help Ethan Channing?”


    Meredith learned from Rick that although the contraband on the freighter that night was prepared by Ethan Channing, Terrence had known about it for a while.


    That batch of goods likely came from the Celestial Alliance, so it made sense for them to silence people.


    Terrence put his arm around Meredith’s shoulder and said, “Didn’t you ce an order with the Celestial Alliance? Let’s wait and see what happens. Sleep now.”


    Meredith nodded and then remembered that Terrence couldn’t see, so she said, “Alright, let’s rest first.”


    She was very tired, and Terrence was exhausted too. That night, they didn’t think about anything or do anything; they just nestled together and fell asleep.


    The next day.


    Meredith prepared to take Terrence to the hospital for an eye examination. Ste, Julian, Grandma Sterling, and Harvey all came over after hearing the news.


    Terrence sat on the sofa wearing sunsses to prevent others from noticing his blindness.


    As the head of Sterling Corporation, if news of his blindness got out, it would have significant repercussions.


    “Son.” Ste was excited. When she entered the living room and saw Terrence sitting on the sofa, she rushed forward excitedly. “You scared me to death! Are you hurt anywhere? Let me see.”


    “It’s nothing,” Terrence said lightly. “Just a minor injury.”


    Julian also breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s good to have you back.”


    Grandma Sterling’s cloudy eyes hid tears. “Terry, you’ve suffered.”


    Harvey said, “Boss, I’m d you’re back. I heard Joy Chaucer had you confined? That woman is insane! Has she lost her mind? Confining you is illegal; she should go to jail!”


    Meredith packed some items for going out and came downstairs. She walked over to Terrence and quietly took his hand. “There’s no news from Officer Michaelson yet. Joy Chaucer won’t get off easy this time.”


    Meredith felt regretful that despite all the bad things Joy Chaucer had done, they could only charge her with confining Terrence. It seemed too lenient for her.


    The urgent matter now was to treat Terrence’s eyes.


    Harvey said angrily, “Joy Chaucer should be locked up for ten or twenty years!”


    “Grandma, Mom, Dad, I’ll take Terrence to the hospital for an examination first,” Meredith said without mentioning Terrence’s blindness.


    Harvey inadvertently asked, “Boss, it’s daytime and cloudy today; why are you wearing sunsses?”


    Only then did everyone notice that Terrence was wearing sunsses. Ste asked in confusion, “Son, what’s wrong with your eyes?”


    “I can’t see,” Terrence said honestly. “When the car exploded, fragments injured my eyes.”


    His tone was casual as if he were stating something very ordinary.


    Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked.


    This news hit them like a bolt from the blue.


    Terrence couldn’t see; he had be blind.


    “Son, how could this happen?” Ste couldn’t ept it and reached out to remove his sses.


    Meredith’s eyes also welled up with tears; she felt heartbroken.N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    When the sses were removed, everyone finally believed that Terrence couldn’t see; his eyes had no focus.


    “Terry,” Grandma Sterling turned around with her cane and silently wiped away her tears.


    This was her proud grandson.


    Julian also found it hard to ept. “Heaven is too cruel! Son, who harmed you that night? We must find them and tear them apart!”


    Julian gritted his teeth in anger.


    Terrence said calmly, “It’s already fortunate enough to be alive. Mom, Dad, Grandma, don’t worry about me.”


    Meredith added, “I’ve already contacted an ophthalmologist; we’ll find a way to cure Terrence’s eyes.”


    Ste urged, “Then hurry to the hospital; don’t dy any longer.”


    Everyone apanied Terrence to the hospital; at this moment, no one wanted to leave him.


    While Terrence was being examined in the examination room, Meredith received a call from Liam Michaelson: “I have some bad news.”
