Love Contract

Chapter 259 Cornea Operation

In Z City early the next day, William and Mary met with others in front of her old house. They rendezvoused there before going to the mountain to worship her mother.

Aisha saw her mother for the first time. Her mother in the picture on the gravestone looked very kind and gentle. Would she be happy if she knew that her little daughter was still alive? Perhaps she never forgot Aisha, the child whom she had never met.

Well, it must be like this.

Aisha touched the photo on the tombstone with a faint smile.

Meanwhile, Mary's eyes were filled with tears, but she tried her best to smile.

'Mom, I've come to see you again. By the way, Aisha is standing next to me. We look exactly the same, don't we? She is my younger sister. I didn't expect that I would meet another family of mine. You must be very happy. As for William, he is very nice to me now. I hope you wouldn't get mad at me for not telling you about our fake marriage. We are very happy now!'

The group fell into silence, with different thoughts in their minds. Mary stood up, and William held her hand tightly. It seemed that he was making a silent promise to the elder in heaven.

He would hold Mary's hands as they grew old together.

In A City.

Selah sat in the dressing room as she prepared for a live broadcast interview.

Jaime stood aside, waiting for her. Suddenly his phone rang.

"I'll just answer this call," Jaime said to Selah with a nod.

"Okay." She turned to face him and nodded as well.

"Hey, I'm still not done with the eyeshadow." With that, the make-up artist turned Selah's head to the right slightly.

"Hello? Dr. Li, what's wrong?" Jaime answered the phone as he walked.

"Mr. Huo, we just received a cornea donation from a kind-hearted person today. Fortunately, it matches Ray's corneas. The operation should have to be performed soon. I wonder if Miss Shen has time to come to the hospital so we could discuss the specific details of the operation."

"Dr. Li, could you wait for a moment please? I'll call you back in five minutes," Jaime said with a frown.

"Okay. Sure."

Jaime hung up the phone and called Barry right away.

"What's up, Jamie?" Barry said calmly.

Jaime repeated what Dr. Li had said just now. "Selah is preparing for a live broadcast. Mr. Gu, do you think..."

Barry put down his work and asked, "The surgery can't wait, can it? Tell Selah to cancel her work. Let her go to the hospital immediately."

"But the show will begin in half an hour."

"They should take the emergency measures." Barry pondered for a moment and continued, "I'll call the producer. Take Selah to the hospital."

"Okay, I understand." After hanging up the phone, Jaime immediately asked someone to inform the director about the change of plans. Then, he rushed to the dressing room.

Selah's eyeliner was still half-drawn when she was pulled up by Jaime.

"What's wrong?" She asked as she was taken aback by his sudden gesture.

"We don't need to do the show anymore," said Jaime briefly. "Ray's new corneas are now available. We have to go to the hospital now."

"What did you just say? Really? Great!" She hurriedly stepped forward, and her voice trembled with excitement and happiness. "Let's go!"

"Eh? What?" Meanwhile, the make-up artist did not understand what was going on so she stood frozen in spot while holding the eyeliner pen. "Hey, Selah! Why are you..."

Before she could finish her words, the two had already left.

As he walked, Jaime called Dr. Li and told him to prepare for the operation. Selah followed him closely.

Just as they were about to walk out of the hall, Selah bumped into someone when she opened the door.

"I'm so sorry!" With her eyes hazy with tears of joy, she quickly apologized and continued to stride out.

The man rubbed his arm and did not say anything. He glanced back to see who had hit him, and his eyes widened when he recognized the woman from the back. 'Is that Selah?' he wondered. Or did he mistake the woman for Selah? Did she cut her hair short?

"Jerry, what's wrong?" An actress who was wearing sunglasses next to Jerry asked, "Why did you stop?" "Was that Selah Shen who just passed by?" Jerry asked.

"Yes, it was," the actress answered disdainfully. "Recently, someone has been supporting her and she became famous overnight. In our three-week stay in Singapore and Malaysia, many things happened in A City."

Hearing that, Jerry was shocked. He did not expect that Selah would make a comeback. What had happened seven years ago came back to his mind. As Selah's agent at that time, he had tried his best to 'match' her and Barry Gu, but to no avail. His trick only resulted in Barry losing his temper, and Selah getting pregnant.

If Selah saw him again, she would definitely get revenge on him!

Jerry suddenly felt uncomfortable and asked again, "Which company is Selah in now?"

"GM," the actress answered again. "Jerry, as an agent, you should read the news. It's about the entertainment industry after all. Haven't you heard the rumors about her and Barry Gu, the CEO of the GM Universing Studios? It's everywhere! Do you think it's Barry Gu who made her famous?"

Barry Gu? Barry Gu?! Wow!

Jerry's eyes lit up and a strange look appeared on his face. In that case, he was indeed the matchmaker of these two! If he went to see Barry Gu, maybe he could be an agent of GM Universing Studios. It seemed a better option than taking care of this undistinguished actress. As for Selah, he should not be afraid that she would take revenge on him. He believed that she should thank him instead!

At the thought of this, Jerry suddenly became confident. Despite being frightened a while ago, he now walked forward with his head held high. It was as if he was walking on a path that led to wealth

and fame.

In the hospital, when Selah and Jaime arrived, Barry was already waiting for them.

Seeing Barry from a distance, Selah was stunned. "Mr... Mr. Gu, why is he here?"

Jaime whispered from the side, "I called Mr. Gu. He approved of you not continuing with your work so you could come here right away."

Seeing them coming over, Barry looked a little serious. "Why are you so late?"

Selah just stared at him, but deep inside, she was moved.

After she agreed on becoming his woman, he did not force her to do something she did not want to do. He had been good to her and there were no extortion nor sex trade that she should be worried about! Not only that, in the past two days, he had been a qualified father for Alick and Elissa. The four of them got along well with each other. She could not help but wonder if Barry was really evil like she had imagined he was.

"Why are you still in a daze? Hurry up!" Looking at the absent-minded look on Selah's face, Barry shouted anxiously, "Go and find the doctor so you could now sign. The doctor said the operation would be ready soon."

"What? Oh! Okay!" Selah came back to her senses and ran to the ward at once.

Outside the operating room, Ray was being instructed to lie on the operation table.

Barry was a little anxious so he walked up to Ray and held his hand comfortingly. "Ray, do you remember me?"

"Hmm." Ray thought for a while and answered excitedly, "I remember you! You are the uncle I bumped into last time!"

"Yes, I am."

"Uncle, why are you here? The doctor said that I would undergo a surgery so I could see. Is that true? I'm so happy!" Ray exclaimed. "Can I see your face, Uncle?"

"Yes, of course. Ray's eyes will recover soon." Barry touched Ray's head. He thought that underneath the gauze that was covering half of Ray's face, it must be a pair of clear and bright eyes!

"Great!" Ray smiled and asked, "Uncle, did you come with my mother?" "Yes, I did."

"Where is Mommy?"

"She went to see the doctor. She'll come soon." This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Uncle, can you help me take care of Mommy?" Ray bit his lips and explained, "I'm going to have an operation. Mommy must be very scared and worried. Uncle, can you help me look after Mommy and keep her from crying? I will be fine.

After signing her name on the surgery agreement, Selah stopped in the corridor. Hearing Ray's words, she burst into tears.

Her son was so cute and sensible. Why did he have to suffer so much? He did not deserve it! 'God, please let the operation be successful. Ray must get better soon!'

Hearing Ray's words, Barry felt a little sad and asked, "Ray, aren't you afraid?"

"If I am afraid, Mommy will be more afraid, so I'm not afraid," the little boy on the bed assured firmly. "I really want to be like other children who can see everything. I will definitely recover!"

"What a brave man!" Seeing that Ray was a brave kid, he gave him some words of encouragement. "Ray is the bravest boy I've ever met. I believe that when you open eyes again, you can see Mommy clearly! You'll be able to see the beauty of the world!"

"Yes!"

Witnessing Barry and Ray's interaction, Selah did not know what to say. She silently walked up to her son, held his hand, and tried her best to suppress her sobs. "Ray, Mommy is here."

"Mommy!" Ray was surprised to be with his mother this soon. "My eyes will recover soon! Will Mommy wait for me here until the end?"

"I will," Selah nodded and choked with sobs. "I promise you will see me as soon as you open your eyes, okay?"

"The operation is about to begin. Please wait patiently outside the operating room." The doctor wearing a white coat pushed Ray to the operating room.

"Ray, don't be afraid. Mommy will wait for you outside." Selah held his hand and her grasp loosened bit by bit.

"Make sure to cure this child's eyes," Barry said to Dr. Li seriously. "I don't want to hear any excuses. I don't want to hear that something goes wrong, understand?"

The doctor nodded in panic. "Okay, okay. I will definitely make sure that Ray comes out safely." With that, he hurried to the operating room.

The light atop the door of the operating room lit up, signaling that the operation had already started. Barry finally calmed down.

Selah gazed at his relaxed expression and her heart was suddenly filled with gratitude.

Although Barry seemed calm and tranquil, his thoughts were not. 'Ray, please forgive me for what I have done to your mommy. I don't want to hurt you. I'm really sorry."
