Love Coming from the Least Expected novel Chapter 311

“I got into an accident and I’ve lost my eyesight temporarily. But, don’t worry. I’ll be able to see again in a few days,” I answered as I leaned against the wheelchair. “What about you? What are you doing here? As the sole heir to the Goldstein family, shouldn’t you be working your butt off at the Goldstein Corporation? I can imagine you attending countless meetings with the upper management and going through piles of paper. What brings you here in this small town?” I asked.

“I’ve never interfered in the family business. I’m here on vacation. I was told that this town was a perfect place for a getaway, so here I am,” Lucas answered.

We were catching up when a bunch of kids approached us. “Oh, so you both know each other? That’s awesome! Now, you can tell us a story together. We can’t wait to hear it,” The kids urged as they held onto our arms.

We couldn’t bear to turn down their requests upon their enthusiastic expressions. Hence, we spent the entire afternoon at the school and even had lunch there.

I noticed that Lucas’ was very weak. He’d start panting and coughing every time we walked around. I guess it wasn’t a coincidence that I met him at the hospital the last time. He must be a chronic invalid. I guess that makes the two of us.

We both exchanged countless conversations about which medication was the worst among the lot. I was surprised when he told me he had bought a place in town. In fact, it was the house right next to mine. Who knew we’d live so close to each other.

There was an uncomfortable tingling sensation in my eyes the moment I switched medications. However, the feeling of nausea had decreased ever since I stopped taking the medication from Avenport. I was rather impressed by the significant change.

I felt more energetic and could walk around with the help of a cane. I would have been out all day and wouldn’t require Jenny’s care if it weren’t for my eyes.

As for Lucas, he was a typical melancholic prince. It was a contagious feeling that had passed on to me whenever I was with him. For instance, he would murmur a quote when we watched the sunset.

He would also sigh at the sight of a blooming flower. “A blooming flower marks the start of its withering process. Sadly, a flower begins to wither when it blooms at its best.”

Damn it, why are you always bringing that up? Didn’t you resent me because I dumped you during the engagement?

We began to chase after each other on the beach as the sun set. Although I wasn’t able to see anything, I had a great time. Lucas deliberately placed some sand on my feet and I fought back by throwing a handful back at him. Moments later, he paused and asked, “Are you really going to die?”

I lowered my head to hide my expression before I lifted my head with a smile. “Yeah, I am. So I’m trying my best to enjoy every moment I have left in my life.”

When I looked at Lucas, my mind immediately drifted to Christopher. I guess I would be much happier if he were by my side. Hence, I decided to give Sabrina a call. I took out my phone and dialed her number. I was surprised to hear Christopher’s voice when the line got through.

“Who is it?”
