Chapter 270 Compassion Or Love (Part One)
Becky stumbled against a floormp and crashed down to the floor.
"Ow..."
She groaned in pain. Becky was lying face down on the ground. The floormp directly fell on her back.
For a moment, she could hardly breathe.
Brian turned around and saw her on the floor. He ran back towards her in concern. As soon as he
reached her, he quickly got her up and looked at her anxiously. He asked,"Are you hurt?"
"Leave me alone!" Becky roared and her cheeks were bathed in tears. She waved her arms frantically
as she couldn''t see him to shove him away. But Brian held on to her tightly so that she couldn''t shake
free. "Go away! Please leave! Just leave me alone!"
Becky choked. She couldn''t hold back the tears which had welled up uncontrobly in her eyes and it
pricked her retina which was not restored yet. Even though she was suffering from immense pain, she
just couldn''t stop crying. It took a lot of courage for her to make the decision toe back. And when
she arrived, Brian ought to have been waiting for her in the airport, but he wasn''t. Even when he came
to the hotel to meet her, he didn''t show any concern for her. All he did was sulk. It seemed like a trifle
issue, but it was thest straw that broke the camel''s back. Her desperation, grieve and all the misery
she had been bearing for such a long time copsed on her all at once.
Brian looked at Becky who was in some kind of deep sorrow. The sight of her sobbing wrung his
withers. He fastened her waving hands and asked in a deep voice,"Becky, tell me, are you injured
somewhere?"
"I… I… I don''t need your concern!" Becky gasped out and her voice cracked. She was so heartbroken
and she felt like she would lose her breath any minute.
Brian''s lipspressed into a thin line with his brows knitted close together. He rose up and lifted her
in his arms, then walked towards the bedroom. He gently put Becky on the soft bed. As she was about
to get up, he held her down and asked coldly,"Do you really want me to leave?"
At that instant, Becky suddenly became immobile and her strength faded away. Her eyes were still full
of tears. The eyes used to be bright and beautiful. But now, they were covered in a grey blur. She bit
her lips. After a while she said sniffing,"Brian, would you really leave me if I asked you to?"
Brian was annoyed by her meaningless questions. Though she used to be somewhat petnt in the
past, she was certainly not the same now. Brian answered,"Yes."

She was grief-stricken. Struck by a thousand needles, she said with trembling lips, and eyes filled with
loss and despair,"Well, fine! Get out! I don''t need your care anymore!"
Though she knew that she shouldn''t say things like that to him and what she had said would be thest
line for Brian, she still did. She bet that Brian still had feelings for her. After all, he had doted on her for
so many years and she thought that he was just irritated by her stubbornness. And no matter how
stubborn she was, he would always forgive her.
Brian stared at Becky. He realized that she hadn''t looked his way at all from the beginning. He was
furious as he thought about it. The furybined with the emotions which he had been repressing all
day made his blood boil.
Brian squinted his eyes. He slowly released Becky and then got up from the bed. He stared at Becky
who was still looking away from him. He said,"I think you might be tired. Get some rest."
Saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door with a gloomy face.
Becky stopped crying at once. She sat up and her eyes reflected nothing. She asked,"Do you still love
me?"
Brian stopped in his tracks. He looked ahead, frowning slightly. He hesitated at Becky''s question. He
seemed to have lost his absolute believe in the love he had for her. Why? Didn''t he promise to love
Becky for the rest of his life?
Brian turned around slowly, with his deep-set eyes fixed on Becky. With tears in her eyes, she looked
straight ahead, but her sight never fell on him.
Becky''s lips trembled again. She endured the irritating sensation in her nose. She murmured,"You don''t
love me anymore... If you really loved me, you would have detected the difference. If you truly loved
me, you would have discovered immediately that there was something wrong with my eyes."
Her voice trembled with grief and tears welled up in her eyes again.
Brian frowned and asked,"What do you mean there is something wrong with your eyes?"
He strode over to Becky and sat down on the edge of the bed. With his hands on Becky''s shoulders, he
turned her body to make her face him. Brian''s eagle like eyes were fixed on hers. He quickly found that
her bright eyes were covered in a grey blur which shouldn''t have been there.
Becky was still in tears. She sobbed,"In the past, you could always instantly say if something was
wrong with me. But this time, you couldn''t…"
"What''s wrong with your eyes?" Brian asked in a low voice.
"Brian, I''m blind! I can''t see you any more!" Becky was on the verge of a breakdown. She roared,"I had
no way but to leave you! During the time I was with you, I could see it clearly in my heart. The person
that I have always been in love with is you. I consider Eric as just a friend. However, my eyes had
started to blur and I couldn''t see things clearly. I was so afraid. I was afraid that you wouldn''t love a
blind woman. The only thing I could do was to leave you. I wanted to be perfect in your memory. That''s
why I went abroad for treatment. But whatever I tried was fruitless. The retinas which were collected
from different people were ipatible with my eyes. I am going to be blind! I am going to be blind! I''m
so afraid."
Brian felt a sharp pang in his heart. The next second, Brian''s hands were around Becky''s waist. He
pulled her to him in a warm embrace. He said in a whisper,"Don''t be afraid. I will always be by your
side."
