Chapter 554 Shirley, You Deceiver
"Because I'm conflicted," Shirley gazed at Antwan and said softly.
"Conflicted about what? Tell me, make me happy," Antwan grinned mischievously as always, "Even
though my wrist got cut today and it hurt like hell, I'm genuinely happy! The goddess cares about me,
the goddess pities me, the goddess is willing to talk to me, and we even enjoyed the moon together...
It's worth the blood!"
"May said that Braden doesn't reject your blood. She found a way to cure Braden," Shirley's gaze was
profound.
Antwan's puppy-like expression immediately dropped, and he coldly asked, "What way?"
Shirley relayed May’s words to Antwan.
After listening, Antwan fell silent for a long time. Then he sneered, "It sounds like using my bone
marrow to save Braden's life, exchanging my eyes for Braden's eyes."
"In theory, yes,’ Shirley nodded.
Antwan was as intelligent as her. Just by hearing the name of this treatment, he knew what it entailed.
"Ridiculous!" Antwan's face turned ugly, filled with mockery, coldness, and disappointment, "Shirley,
why are you telling me all this? Do you think I can be so noble? Braden is the person I've always
wanted to defeat. I've been waiting for this day for so long. Do you think I would give him a chance to
live or sacrifice myself to give him a chance?"
"I know you won't, that's why I told you," Shirley calmly replied.
She didn't expect Antwan to agree. She just didn't know why she had honestly told him all this.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPerhaps, since the moment Antwan was willing to use his blood as medicine for Braden, she had
concluded that this madman wasn't as bad as she had imagined.
At this moment, they weren't enemies; they were comrades standing on the same side. He had the
right to know.
"Shirley, I advise you not to have wishful thinking. Although I'm fond of you, I haven't reached that level
of fondness. It would be best for you not to test my patience. Submit to me sooner, or else... don't
blame me for being ruthless!" Antwan spoke as if deliberately reminding Shirley how cruel he could be,
his words icy and heartless.
"That's good. Don't have a change of heart. If you do, I won't be able to pay back the debt," Shirley
replied strangely. She smiled at the man with red eyes, her usual anger absent.
"Don't worry, I absolutely won't have a change of heart. Even if we sever ties, I won't have a change of
heart!" Antwan raised two fingers and solemnly swore.
Half a month later...
Braden slightly opened his eyes and saw the vast expanse of the ceiling.
"Am... Am I dreaming?" His pale lips quivered; his voice weak.
He thought, "It's like I've had a long, long dream. In the dream, it felt as if my bones were being
stripped and reassembled, the pain corroding me to the core. That near-death feeling seems to have
been etched into my very being. I'm afraid I won't be able to forget it in my lifetime!"
"Braden, you're awake. How... how do you feel?" Alina, Tracy, and the Stewart family surrounded his
bedside, their faces filled with anticipation.
"Mom, when did you arrive?" Braden looked at Tracy, tears streaming down her face, and asked softly.
"Braden, you... Can you see now?" Alina reached out and waved her hand in front of him, eagerly and
cautiously asking.
Braden turned his gaze to Alina, revealing a gentle and fragile smile as tears rolled down his cheeks, "I
think so."
"That's wonderful! You have no idea how long we've been waiting for this day. Fate has finally smiled
upon us!" Tracy cried, holding Braden tightly.
"Steven, you've suffered during this period. It's all my fault for giving the enemy an opportunity. We
must be good from now on!" Kenny choked on his words as he wiped away his tears.
"It's me who made you suffer," Braden coughed lightly, his handsome face appearing deep and heavy.
His gaze swept through the crowd, searching for the person he wanted to see. However, after looking
around, he only saw family and friends, no unfamiliar faces.
"Steven, what are you looking for?" Tracy noticed Braden's distraction and quickly asked.
"I..." Braden pondered for a moment and asked, "Aren't I at the MTW Center? Who brought me here?"
"Well..." Tracy and Kenny glanced at each other, unsure if they should tell the truth.
Alina held the man's hand, lowered her head, and kissed it gently, "Silly, it was me and your uncle who
brought you back, along with Tracy. We're especially grateful to Dean Fuller and his team for taking
care of you during this time."
"Just Dean Fuller and his team?"
"Who else could it be?" Alina lied shamelessly without batting an eye, "Your eyes, we discussed with
Dean Fuller and found a miracle doctor to treat them. I still can't believe it, but it worked!'
"But I remember..." Braden frowned, a sense of indescribable disappointment welling up inside him, "I
remember there were other people taking care of me, and she was the one who was determined to
heal my eyes."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I know who you're talking about. Ms. Wilson, right?" Alina was aware that she couldn't avoid
mentioning this woman, so mentioned her directly..
"Where is she?" Braden's eyes brightened slightly, asking eagerly. If he remembered correctly, he had
made a promise to that woman. When he regained his sight, he would take a good look at her. What
did she really look like?
It was because of this anticipation that he had regained hope and cooperated actively with the
treatment, deceiving himself while hoping that he would open his eyes and see her. But she was
nowhere to be found.
"She and Antwan went on a world tour. They had some conflicts before, but now they've made up and
are as sweet as ever," Alina said naturally.
"A world tour?" Braden's gaze dimmed, his voice turning cold, ’They couldn't wait, huh?"
They had agreed that once his eyes were healed, he would be able to see her. But she just left without
a goodbye. Shirley, you deceiver!
Tracy and Kenny had expressions that seemed like they had something to say, but in the end, they
remained silent.
"Steven, you've regained your sight, which is a tremendously joyous occasion. Don't dwell on the
unhappy things. Just know that the people who love you are by your side. You've simply had a long,
long sleep, and now that you've awakened, everything is as it was!" Tracy comforted him with aching
concern.
"Yes, now that you've awakened, everything is as it was. Don't think about those who aren't worth it.
We will always be there for you, supporting you," Alina embraced Braden, sounding persuasive as she
repeated her words.
"Okay," Braden nodded, determined not to let his mind wander to other thoughts.
