I gave Lucas Bennett two million dollars to help him rebuild his business after his family went bankrupt. Later, I even became blind after saving him in a car accident. The day I regained my sight, I discovered he had already moved his first love into our home. She had been living with me as a maid for five years, eating and sleeping under the same roof. Even the child I had raised for five years turned out to be hers and Lucas’s. During an argument, Lucas pushed me, causing me to fall and bleed to death. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day of the car accident. This time, I didn’t save Lucas. He became the blind one instead. I stared at the light dancing on my fingertips, stunned. After coming to my senses, I wanted to run downstairs to tell Lucas the good news. But when I reached the stairs, I saw two people sitting on the sofa. One was my so-called husband Lucas, and the other was his first love, Mia. So the maid my husband Lucas had hired for me was actually his former flame. The two were passionately kissing, completely disregarding anyone else’s presence. My mind went blank as I silently watched for a while. Then I started walking down the stairs. Lucas heard the noise and gently pushed Mia away. When he realized it was me, a flash of panic crossed his face before he regained his composure. “Why did you come down? Has your vision returned?” I looked at the lipstick mark on Lucas’s lips and sneered. “Yes, I’m not blind anymore. How else could I see you two being so affectionate?” Lucas had never seen me speak so sarcastically before. His brows furrowed. He wanted to say something, but Mia stopped him. She sashayed over to me, the picture of an innocent flower. In a voice only the two of us could hear, she said: “Olivia, I’ve been living here for five years now.” “I went through pregnancy and postpartum recovery with you. Even the child you’ve been holding for five years is mine and Lucas’s.” “That bastard of yours? I put it in formaldehyde and made it into a specimen long ago.” Hearing this, I violently pushed Mia away. I stared at her sitting on the ground, my eyes full of shock and hatred for her. But before I could do anything, Lucas had already rushed over and shoved me away. Caught off guard, I hit the corner of the table hard. Blood immediately gushed from the back of my head, dripping onto the floor. I tried to say something, but no words came out. Lucas went straight to Mia and carried her away. He didn’t even spare a glance at me lying in a pool of blood. I died, my eyes still open in disbelief.
I remember being adopted by the Bennett family when I was eight years old. Mr. and Mrs. Bennett were extremely good to me, as was Lucas. At eighteen, I realized I had fallen for Lucas. Unfortunately, he only saw me as a sister. Later, he met Mia and quickly became her boyfriend. Someone gossiped about it to Mr. Bennett, who flew into a rage: “Break up with that girl immediately. I won’t acknowledge her or let her into our family.” “You can only marry Olivia in this lifetime.” Because of that last sentence, Lucas began to hate me. No matter how I tried to explain, he was convinced I had told on him. He stormed out and didn’t come home for a long time. Mr. Bennett regretted his words and swallowed his pride to call Lucas. The only response he got was: “If Olivia is in this house, I won’t be.” To avoid putting Mr. and Mrs. Bennett in a difficult position, I left the Bennett family and started my own company. When I heard news of the Bennetts again at age twenty, it was that the family had gone bankrupt and Mr. and Mrs. Bennett had committed suicide. Mia had broken up with Lucas and gone abroad to further her studies. I returned to the Bennett family’s old house to find it in ruins. Lucas was surrounded by empty bottles and cigarette butts. The sight pierced my heart. How had that once ambitious young man become like this? Despite my friends’ objections, I insisted on giving him two million dollars to help him get back on his feet. Later, I even became blind after saving Lucas, enduring all kinds of insults from others. Fortunately, he eventually achieved success. Just when others thought my suffering had paid off, he cheated on me with his first love. He even kept her under my nose.
When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day I saved Lucas and became blind. I stared at the skyscrapers before me, dazed. A security guard noticed and came over to shoo me away: “Get out of here! Do you know where you are?” “You poor beggar, leave now before I call someone to throw you out.” His words snapped me back to reality. I looked at this familiar security guard without saying anything, just sneering before turning to leave. I tossed the lunchbox I was holding into a nearby trash can. Then I found a shady, hidden spot to watch and wait. Sure enough, Lucas soon rushed out of the office building. He hurried across the street, ignoring the traffic. I smirked as I watched it all unfold, counting down in my mind. “3” “2” “1” A piercing screech of brakes filled the air, followed by the thud of a body hitting the ground. I looked up at the road. Lucas was lying on the ground convulsing, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. The sudden accident frightened passersby, who were momentarily stunned. It wasn’t until someone shouted “Call 911!” that people frantically took out their phones to dial emergency services. A crowd began to gather, with some even taking out their phones to record Lucas in this state. Imagining Lucas’s reaction when he found out about the online videos, I couldn’t help but cover my mouth and giggle. A cough sounded behind me. I slowly turned around to find an unfamiliar man, and silently breathed a sigh of relief. The ambulance sirens wailed as medical staff rushed out and quickly took Lucas away. Only the traffic police remained at the scene to investigate. I stole a glance at the man before calmly walking away. But the burning gaze on my back made my steps falter.
I had just gotten home and laid down when my phone rang, echoing through the house. I lazily picked up the phone to see it was Henry, Lucas’s friend calling. I answered casually. An anxious voice came through: “Olivia, come to City Hospital quickly. Lucas has been in a car accident.” Before I could respond, he had already hung up. I looked at the ended call screen and rolled my eyes. Birds of a feather really do flock together – what kind of person someone is determines who they’re friends with. But now wasn’t the time to burn bridges. After getting ready, I made my way to the hospital at a leisurely pace. By the time I arrived, Lucas had already finished surgery and regained consciousness. “Why aren’t the lights on?” he asked. Henry stood nearby and explained: “The lights are on. You just can’t see because you’ve lost your vision.” Lucas was stunned for a moment before he started shouting: “How is that possible? I don’t want to be blind!” “Where’s the doctor? Where’s the doctor? I need to see a doctor!” I stood outside the door, silently watching Lucas’s meltdown. In my previous life, I had been blind for a full seven years. He couldn’t accept it after just becoming blind – how would he cope in the future? I pushed open the door and walked in. Henry looked at me as if he’d seen a savior. He gestured for me to go comfort Lucas. Swallowing the nausea rising in my throat, I walked to the bedside and took Lucas’s hand, gently consoling him: “Lucas, Lucas, don’t be like this. The doctor said you’ll recover.” While I outwardly comforted him, inwardly I was praying Lucas would never regain his sight. Lucas gripped my hand back, his face anxious. “Olivia, even if I’m like this, you’ll always stay by my side, right?” I nodded lightly and replied with a soft “Mm.” But my face was full of mockery. With Lucas in this state now, who would really stay by his side? His precious Mia?
Lucas stayed in the hospital for a full month before being discharged. On the day he was released, Henry came too. He handed over an invitation. “Lucas, this is for a banquet hosted by CZ Company.” “It’s the invitation you asked me to get for you before.” When I heard the company name, I paused for a second. Lucas fumbled to take the invitation, mumbling a “thank you.” Then he said nothing more and turned to go home. In my previous life, CZ Company had a major project at this time that needed a partner. The banquet was being held for this purpose. Lucas was attending in hopes of securing the project. Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but laugh. With his abilities, it was nothing but a pipe dream. On the day of the banquet, I showed up in a burgundy mermaid gown. Lucas beside me was still handsome, but he was leaning on a white cane with a vacant stare. Seeing this sight, the other guests began whispering among themselves. My gaze locked onto a woman in the middle of the room, and my smile became more genuine. She swirled her wine glass and walked towards me. Looking at Lucas beside me with disdain, her voice dripped with sarcasm: “Why is there a blind man at the banquet?” Lucas’s face darkened. He was about to lose his temper when Henry stopped him, leaning in to whisper the woman’s identity. Zoe Lewis, CEO of CZ Company. When I looked up at her, I unexpectedly met her gaze. I gave a small smile. It had been a long time since I’d seen my old friend. Lucas’s expression froze, but he forced out a smile: “Ms. Lewis, I’m the CEO of JC Company. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” Zoe was the first to look away. She lowered her eyes to watch her swirling wine glass, her voice full of disinterest. “Oh, I don’t know you.” Then without sparing Lucas another glance, she turned and left. Seeing Zoe’s attitude, the surrounding crowd began to make snide remarks. “Tch, he still thinks he’s that young master from before.” “If it weren’t for the two million his woman beside him gave him, who knows where he’d be washing dishes now.” “Just a man living off a woman.” Lucas’s face turned black, his fists clenched tight. But he couldn’t refute them. After all, everyone in A City knew Lucas had gotten back on his feet thanks to me. I silently watched as everyone mocked Lucas, not helping him. Until a woman’s voice came from behind the crowd. “How can you all talk about Lucas like that?”
