"Are you okay?"
There was a trace of nervousness as seen in Nicholas's eyes when he saw her retreating quickly with a frightened expression. He really felt sorry for scaring her.
"I... I'm fine. I'm sorry."
Tears welled up in Cecilia's eyes. She bit her lip and whispered an apology.
Nicholas was shocked and chuckled. "Why are you apologizing? I'm the one who should be apologizing. I scared you."
"It's my fault. If it weren't for my... vision, I wouldn't have troubled you all this time. Mr. Ling, I know you are a good person, you take care of me and my sister, but there's nothing I can do to repay you."
Her tears rolled down her cheek as she was talking. Silent tears were the most touching. Her eyes were beautiful to begin with, but now with tears, it made her look more surreal.
Nicholas frowned even more. When he came to his senses, he found that his hands were still around her waist, and she was leaning on his chest unknowingly.
He let go of her gently and Cecilia subconsciously reached out to hold the back of the chair and quickly hid behind it. "Please don't feel pressured by my help. I just want to help as much as possible. Also, this house was empty so it's okay."
Seeing that her tears were still rolling down, Nicholas had the impulse to go over and wipe them for her.
In the end, he just took a piece of tissue and handed it to her. "Please wipe away your tears."
Cecilia wiped away her tears after thanking him in a soft voice.
Nicholas lowered his head and stared at her. Her eyes sparkled after crying. He subconsciously reached out his hand and waved it in front of her. Cecilia was surprised as she didn't expect that he would suddenly put his hand in front of her. If she had blinked at that moment or felt uncomfortable, her cover would have been blown by Nicholas.
Fortunately, she had received strict training. Despite anything happening, she would remain at ease. She handled the sudden situation calmly. Nicholas frowned as it seemed like she really couldn't see.
"It must have been tiring for your sister to take care of you."
Nicholas looked around and tidied up.
"Yes, fortunately, I have my sister with me. Otherwise, I really don't know how I would survive."
Cecilia smiled bitterly.
"Your eyes... Have you tried seeing a doctor?"
Nicholas sincerely hoped that she could regain her vision one day. Perhaps it was because Nicholas was starting to develop feelings for her and wanted her to be able to enjoy the beauty of the world freely like all other girls.
Cecilia was startled. "Don't tell me this man wants to find a doctor to treat my eyes.
What's wrong with him? He is misusing his kindness."
"I've visited many experts, but they weren't able to do anything, so I don't have much hope now."
Cecilia quickly showed a pessimistic face.
"Medical technology is advancing everyday, don't be too pessimistic about it. You never know, maybe there's one day your eyes can be treated. I can also help you on this matter."
Nicholas couldn't help but say.
"Mr. Ling, why are you so nice to me?"
She had an ominous feeling about this and she deliberately asked him boldly.
Nicholas's handsome face tightened at her question and laughed. He then laughed dryly and said, "I just feel that it's not easy for the two of you so I want to help you."
"But I don't want to owe you a favor. I'm very grateful that you've taken us in. I really hope that I can do something in return. Mr. Ling, learned massaging in the past. I can massage you whenever you're tired. training

before, so I assure you I won't make you feel uncomfortable."
Cecilia opened her mouth and explained, her eyes took on a crescent shape.
Nicholas looked a little embarrassed. He shook his head and said, "There's no need for a massage. Why did you learn this?"
"Because I will have to learn to be independent in the future. The jobs I can do are limited. I hope you don't mind."
Cecilia looked down again.
"Of course I don't mind."
Nicholas looked at her fingers and they were slender and fair. He wondered what it would feel like to be massaged by her.
"If you don't mind, I'll massage your shoulder now, okay?"
Cecilia intentionally made things
difficult for him. She wanted to see if
Nicholas would still have feelings for her even though she had lost her
vision. If he did... it proved that
something was wrong with his eyes.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Nicholas frowned. Although he felt that it was somewhat inappropriate, he still went on and sat on the chair. "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Cecilia reached out her hand to find her way behind the chair. Nicholas was sitting straight, it's obvious that he was trained before.
Cecilia's beautiful lips curled up slightly in the corner of her mouth while Nicholas could not see.
She stretched out her hands and pressed down on Nicholas's shoulders with a little force. His skin was toned and muscular. Cecilia pressed and massaged using her slender fingers.
Nicholas's back tightened into a
straight line. He knew that he
shouldn't have other thoughts at the
moment, but when Cecelia
approached him, he could smell the faint fragrance of her body and the touch of her fingers on him Nicholas felt as if his whole body had been electrocuted and he had that indescribable feeling.
Not more than two minutes after Cecilia gave him a massage, Nicholas suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice, "I'm not tired today. Maybe next time. I'll go first, you take care of yourself."
Cecilia's hands stiffened, and she blinked anxiously. "Mr. Ling, is it because of my skills?"
"Did I make you uncomfortable?"
"No, I... I suddenly remembered that I have something very important to do. I'll have to leave first."
Nicholas fled in panic, because he felt his body was on fire.
Cecilia raised her eyebrows slightly. If she was not mistaken, Nicholas's face did turn red and it seems that he got a boner.
Cecelia didn't expect Nicholas to be such an innocent man. She turned around and smiled.
It was said that innocent men fell in love easier. However, her mission was to find an opportunity to kill him and not flirt with him.
Cecilia could not help but feel pity at the thought of how a young and handsome man would have to die in her hands. But it was not her fault that they were not allies.
Nicholas opened the door and left in a hurry. He felt guilty inside. He couldn't help but to look back at the door every step he took. He couldn't calm himself down.
"What's wrong with me?"
Why did it seem like he was possessed?
