Chapter 1101
The next morning, bright and early, Rosalyn’s entire family headed out together to accompany Calvin to the
hospital for a thorough examination. Other than the injury on his head, the rest of his wounds had pretty much
healed up. However, resources on the ship were limited. Despite the captain and the first mate having heaps of
experience, after the check–up, they stumbled upon a concerning issue.
“It seems like he had a broken arm before, which we didn’t pick up on and didn’t get the right treatment for. It
healed on its own, and now there are some issues with his left hand’s grip,” the doctor said, pointing to a subtle
spot on the X–ray.
Hilaria covered her mouth, a pained look on her face. Just hearing the doctor say that was enough to make her feel
the pain.
“Don’t worry too much, ma’am. We caught it in time, and a small surgery will fix it,” the doctor continued. “The
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbigger issue right now is his vision.”
The doctor pulled out Calvin’s medical report from his last annual check–up. He used to work in shooting, so he
always took great care of his vision. “Is there no chance of recovery?” Rosalyn asked.
The doctor shook his head and said, “This is due to an infection that occurred after long–term immersion in
seawater without effective treatment… I can only guarantee that his vision won’t continue to deteriorate, but as for
recovery, I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do.”
Calvin touched his own eyes. “It’s not nearsightedness,” he murmured.
Back when he was living with the crew, he noticed that his vision would sometimes get blurry. Kieran thought he
was nearsighted and even took him to get glasses. Rosalyn and Hilaria exchanged a look, but all the extreme sports
Calvin loved were no longer possible for him.
Later, a neuro specialist looked at his report and gave some recovery suggestions. But memory was a complex
thing, and no one could guarantee Calvin would be able to recall his past.
After a whole day at the hospital, they brought Calvin home only in the evening.
Late at night, Rosalyn found Hilaria crying quietly in the garden.
“Why are you still up?” Rosalyn asked.
Hilaria turned her face, wiped the corner of her eyes, and Rosalyn sat next to her, handing her a tissue.
Hilaria glanced at her and took the tissue. “I’m fine, just… feeling guilty.”;
“How old is Calvin this year?” Rosalyn asked.
Hilaria paused. “He’ll be 35 this winter.”
Rosalyn nodded. “You said before that he’s been with you since his teens; that’s almost 20 years, isn’t it?”
“Mm.” Hilaria nodded “When I first saw him, he was as skinny as a kitten. Who would’ve thought he’d grow up to be
a tall guy of 1.9 meters and protect me for twenty years?”
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.
Rosalyn gently patted her hand, “Twenty years is a long time; maybe it’s God’s feeling for Calvin, wanting him to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtake a break.”
Hilaria paused for a bit, then nodded vigorously, “Yes, yes, that’s probably it; Calvin won’t need to take risks
anymore.”
“Mm.” Rosalyn responded, “Calvin had a tough life before, he never thought about love. Now that he doesn’t need
to take risks, maybe he’ll meet a good partner, get married, and have kids.”
“If that’s the case, I can finally rest easy in the future!” Hilaria finally showed a smile and said, “Lynn, I still need
your help.”
Rosalyn comforted her again, saying, “Alright, you should rest properly. Haven’t you noticed you’ve been losing a lot
of hair these past two years? You should get some sleep.”
“Nonsense, my hair is still good!”
Hilaria touched her silver hair; the two of them exchanged a look and couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Then,
Hilaria clasped Rosalyn’s hand tightly..
“Absolutely!”
