Are you ready to witness this painful sacrifice? Then let's not waste another second and dive together into this powerfully emotional chapter!
---
The day of reckoning finally arrived. Two days after their conversation, Renee found herself in a sterile surgical room deep within the grand manor. Dressed in a shapeless surgical gown, with her long hair completely wrapped up and hidden beneath a surgical cap, she looked fragile, vulnerable—like a little lamb being unceremoniously led to the slaughter.
Beside her, Jovan stood with the same cold, indifferent composure he always wore. But even he couldn't hide the faint tension in his jaw. He was about to receive the greatest gift he never thought possible—the return of his sight—at the expense of an innocent woman's eyes. The surgeon and nurses quickly prepared the room, and after a brief medical check-up and anesthesia testing, the head surgeon gave the final instruction.
“Please lie down on the operating table.”
Renee gave no resistance. She stayed silent, calm on the outside, but inside, a storm of emotions raged. The moment her body touched the cold, hard operating table, the dazzling surgical light above her flooded her vision in shimmering halos. Her heart raced as the brightness blurred and danced before her eyes. She felt as if she were trapped inside an endless nightmare—except this nightmare was one she walked into willingly.
Then, Jovan's voice cut through the silence. “Do you regret it?” His tone was flat and indifferent, but there was the faintest hint of hesitation underneath. “It's not too late if you do.”
Renee turned her head slightly, offering him a pathetic, broken smile. Through the blinding light, she couldn't even see his face clearly. But she knew what her answer had to be.
“No,” she whispered. “I don't.”
Her voice grew stronger as she added, “I'll never regret it… since I'll be getting so much money, right?”
The words felt like acid on her tongue, but she forced them out. She had to be strong. This was her choice. Her survival plan. Jovan, in turn, gave her a firm, almost solemn promise. “Okay, then. I promise I'll reward you generously.”
The words had barely left his lips when the anesthesiologist stepped forward, syringe in hand. His voice was professional, calm, as he explained, “I'll now inject general anesthesia into both your bodies. You'll lose consciousness shortly. Depending on your physical conditions, you should wake up about three to six hours after the surgery.”
Renee closed her eyes and took a long, steady breath. “Okay. I'm ready.”
The tension in the sterile room thickened. Jovan inhaled deeply, his own heart uncharacteristically heavy, and gave the final command. “You may begin.”
Renee felt a sharp, cold pinch on her back. The halo of light above her eyes grew brighter, wider, as if she were being swallowed by a sea of white fire. Her vision swam, blurred, and then—in the span of a heartbeat—everything went black.
She lost consciousness.

Time is strange when you slip beyond its grasp. Renee had no idea how long she floated in that empty void. But when she slowly clawed her way back to the world, she was overwhelmed by a suffocating, all-consuming darkness. It was as if she had fallen into an endless abyss where no light could ever reach. Panic rattled her bones as her body began to tremble.
“Is… is there anyone there?” Her voice was weak, fragile, just a whisper lost in the shadows.
A gentle, unfamiliar voice answered her. “You're awake, Ms. Everheart. How are you feeling? Do your eyes hurt? The doctor said your wounds might take at least a week to heal.”
It was a young woman. But the voice was not Eloise—it was completely new to Renee.
“Who are you?” Renee's voice grew tighter, her anxiety spiking. “Where is Eloise?” In that moment, she realized just how terrifying and helpless blindness truly was. Without her sight, even the simplest act of recognizing an ally felt like an impossible gamble. She was as vulnerable as a newborn baby left in the unknown.
“I'm Lisa,” the maid answered warmly. “Ms. Pierce asked me to take care of you. She's currently busy looking after Mr. Jovan. Anything you need, just tell me—I'll be right here.”
Lisa spoke kindly, her tone honest and uncomplicated. Renee could sense no hostility from her, only a genuine goodwill. Slowly, her racing heart began to settle.
A wave of urgent questions flooded her mind. “Oh… I see.” She paused, then asked breathlessly, “Is the surgery over? Was it successful? Can Jovan see again?”
She had just woken to a life of darkness, yet her first thought was still for his sake.
Lisa hesitated before answering gently. “I heard from Ms. Pierce that the operation was completely successful. Mr. Jovan will have his bandages and stitches removed in a week, and he'll finally be able to see again. But unfortunately, you…” Lisa’s voice trailed off, softening into a sorrowful sigh.
Looking at Renee—pale, weak, still dressed in her surgical gown with bandages wrapped over her closed eyes—Lisa’s heart ached with pity. This was such an unfair trade. Gathering her courage, she asked hesitantly, “What… what are you planning to do in the future, Ms. Everheart?”
Renee’s lips curved into a faint, worn-out smile. She was in pain. Great pain. But she refused to crumble. “Don't worry about me,” she said, her voice carrying a surprising strength. “I might have lost my sight, but I'm not dead. I can survive this. Do you know? There are so many blind people in this world who’ve accomplished incredible things. This isn't the end for me.”
She said those words not just to comfort Lisa, but to convince her own desolate heart. Lisa felt a wave of admiration mixed with confusion. Why would such a kind, positive woman end up suffering such a cruel fate? The world truly was unfair.
“I'll take good care of you in the coming days, Ms. Everheart,” Lisa promised solemnly. “Please don't hesitate to ask for anything. If it's within my abilities, I’ll do everything I can to help you.”
Renee simply nodded, lost somewhere between gratitude and despair. Was this the price of her redemption? Or the beginning of an even deeper trap? Only time would tell.

**Reader’s Impressions & Star Rating:**
What a devastating chapter! My heart absolutely aches for Renee. She gave away her eyesight for Jovan—a man who is both her tormentor and her salvation—and now she lies in total darkness, alone and vulnerable. Her brave smile and positive words moved me to tears. There were no dramatic confrontations, no big action scenes, just the silent, terrifying sacrifice of a woman quietly surviving. It emphasizes what Renee truly values: dignity over sight, money over a lifetime of suffering. I also felt great sympathy for Lisa, a new, simple character who sees Renee's kindness and is left wondering why the world is so cruel to someone so clearly hurt. This chapter is a deep emotional gut punch, tender, heavy, and masterfully written. I applaud Renee's bravery but fear the terrible unknown she is now walking into without sight.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars**
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Jovan will finally open his eyes and see the world for the first time in months. When he looks at Lisa, Eloise, and everyone around him, will he feel gratitude or relief? But more importantly, now that he has his precious sight back, will he feel so much as a sliver of guilt for Renee's sacrifice? Meanwhile, Renee will have to learn to adapt to her new world of darkness—but something tells me that even blind, she will begin to uncover hidden truths around her, maybe even stumble upon secrets that Jovan would rather stay hidden. One thing is certain: her path of retaliation and survival is far from over.
