Chapter 213
Walking the streets in broad daylight with Raymond was refreshingly new for Carynne, especially since they had only stayed in the mansion for the entire year prior.
And above all, an injured Raymond was extremely fresh. His beauty couldn’t be hidden by a mere eye patch.
However, if that accessory signified a real injury, it was a serious problem. Carynne kept glancing at Raymond with dissatisfaction. After leaving the jeweler’s, heading into a deserted alley, and ensuring they were alone, Raymond stopped.
“I hurried out and ended up getting hurt. The doctor said I don’t need to have it removed, but it’s still uncertain how much of my vision will recover.”
“To think you’re making mistakes now that you never did in your youth…”
“I’m still young.”
“That’s not the point… Ah, seriously.”
Frustrated, Carynne stomped on the ground. She didn’t want to berate Raymond any further, but her emotions spilled over into her actions. After stomping around with her newly purchased shoes, Raymond looked down and said,
“…I’ll be more careful in the future.”
“Have you been injured before?”
“Yes, when my memories first returned, I stepped on a landmine and was severely injured. So, this is nothing.”
Raymond intended to downplay the injury, but Carynne’s expression only grew darker. Before she could become more suspicious, Raymond reassured her again.
