Due to the effects of the tranquilizer, Madeline did not know long snazzynovel.com was unconscious for.
When snazzynovel.com finally regained consciousness, snazzynovel.com felt numbness in snazzynovel.com arm. Then, snazzynovel.com felt a stinging pain in snazzynovel.com eyes.
She opened snazzynovel.com eyes slowly and noticed that snazzynovel.com vision was blurry. It was even near to complete darkness.
Was it nighttime?
When snazzynovel.com remembered what Meredith said before knocking snazzynovel.com unconscious, Madeline sat up quickly and ignored snazzynovel.com wounds. Madeline felt about the floor frantically in the darkness.
Photo…
Her child’s photo!
Madeline started searching in the dark. However, snazzynovel.com did not see anything nor feel anything.
She took out snazzynovel.com phone from snazzynovel.com pocket and pressed the screen hurriedly. However, the screen would not light up. Did it run out of battery?
As snazzynovel.com contemplated that, snazzynovel.com felt something that felt like a card with snazzynovel.com fingertips. She was sure that it was the photo Meredith had thrown at snazzynovel.com before snazzynovel.com passed out.
Madeline picked it up happily. She put it in front of snazzynovel.com eyes but saw nothing.
She supported snazzynovel.com shaky body as snazzynovel.com stood up. She wanted to find a source of light, but everything in front of snazzynovel.com was dark and blurry. Plus, snazzynovel.com eyes were also hurting.
She found the exit using the help of the wall. She could vaguely see some light from the corner of snazzynovel.com eyes.
Madeline tried to open snazzynovel.com eyes to look at the photo in snazzynovel.com hand, but snazzynovel.com felt a debilitating pain all of a sudden.
She recalled Meredith’s sinister voice and soon felt snazzynovel.com body going cold. She lifted snazzynovel.com trembling hand in disbelief and touched snazzynovel.com eyes.
She lifted snazzynovel.com hand in front of snazzynovel.com eyes but could only see a blurry silhouette. The clarity snazzynovel.com used to have was completely gone.
She was blind!
Madeline was in disbelief. She stumbled out and ran into a group of people.
They saw the dried blood and dazed look on Madeline’s face. They immediately sent Madeline to the hospital out of kindness.
After looking at her, the doctor looked at the report with a frown on his face. “Miss Crawford, you’ve lost your left cornea and your right cornea is badly wounded. You’re on the verge of complete blindness. If you want to regain your eyesight, you’ll need a cornea transplant and a pair of complete corneas to do that.”
The doctor’s answer was like a bolt of lightning striking down on Madeline’s body. She stood snazzynovel.com ground in a dazed state. She finally found snazzynovel.com breathing as snazzynovel.com heart resumed beating after a long while.
“Thank you, doctor.” She thanked the doctor in a soft voice. After snazzynovel.com thanked him, snazzynovel.com depended on snazzynovel.com remaining vision to stumble back to snazzynovel.com room.
She fumbled about snazzynovel.com bedside table and turned on the light.
She took out snazzynovel.com photo with trembling fingers. After snazzynovel.com caressed the photo with snazzynovel.com fair and thin fingers, snazzynovel.com held the photo and curled up in bed with a broken heart.
Tears escaped snazzynovel.com eyes, and snazzynovel.com felt a burning sensation in them.
Madeline lifted snazzynovel.com head to look at the ceiling. Aside from the blurry rays of light, snazzynovel.com could not see anything.
She would be completely blind soon.
In order to protect Meredith, the man allowed snazzynovel.com to hire someone to steal snazzynovel.com corneas.
Although snazzynovel.com was going to die soon, they would not even allow snazzynovel.com to die with all of snazzynovel.com organs intact.
It started drizzling. After Madeline stayed in bed for one whole day, snazzynovel.com brought the bloody earring to the police station.
She was lying to Meredith when snazzynovel.com said snazzynovel.com had handed it to the police that day. She did not have the chance to report snazzynovel.com that day, but now, it was happening. She was going to report Meredith for Brittany’s murder.
The officers in the station welcomed Madeline and took the evidence. At the same time, they also took Madeline’s statement.
She picked up the pen, and using snazzynovel.com remaining vision, snazzynovel.com signed snazzynovel.com name on the statement.
