Chapter 1543
Leia couldn’t understand what was going on. She felt as if she was in a world where she had to choose between Xavier and Santiago, and everyone had an opinion on her choice. When the cab arrived, she hurried into it and closed the door, breathing a sigh of relief.
The driver was a young man. He stared at Leia in the rearview mirror for a while before he asked calmly, “Aren’t you Miss Osborne from The Choice of Love? The show is pretty good, so why did they stop it? Didn’t a sea snake bite you? Are you discharged now?”
Leia smiled politely even though she felt like jumping out of the car. How had a typical reality show like theirs become so popular? It felt like everyone had watched it at this point.
“I like Xavier best. It was hilarious watching him help that pig deliver her babies; he really is talented! But who do you like the best? Who did you pick in the end? I think Xavier suits you better. Maybe he can even help you give birth in the future. Haha!” The driver laughed heartily as spoke, his eyes gleaming fondly in remembrance. It looked like he was a huge fan of reality shows.
Once again, Leia was glad she couldn’t speak. She just wanted to reach Renee’s house as soon as possible, and once she reached, she practically jumped out of the cab.
Adie and Abby were at school, Margaret had gone out to shop, and Stefan had left for Hunt Enterprise in the morning.
Renee and Tess were the only ones in the large manor.
Tess was making Renee’s coffee, and she added something to it before handing it to Renee. “Your coffee, Miss Everheart.”
“Thank you.” Renee was sitting in the yard, listening to music and basking in the sun, enjoying her slow-paced life. Her life was comfortable, but for some reason, she always felt sleepy and fatigued.
Suddenly, just as she was about to drink her coffee, someone held her neck.
“Lei?” Renee recognized Leia’s scent and quickly put the cup of coffee down, her face lit up in joy.
Leia was happy too, but she could only type a message on her phone and show it to Renee since she couldn’t speak
” I’ve missed you so much! Why didn’t you reply to my texts? I’ve been worried sick about you!”
Naturally, Renee couldn’t read Leia’s texts. When she didn’t hear Leia’s voice, Renee started to doubt it was her.
Frowning, Renee asked, “Lei… is that you? Say something.”
Leia finally realized something was wrong with Renee. She was wearing sunglasses as if she couldn’t see. “Mm, mm!” Leia made some noises to reassure Renee that it was her.
“Lei, what’s the matter with you? Did you hurt your throat” Renee asked sharply.
After a brief pause, an idea came to Leia. She took her phone out and turned her text into a voice message. “It’s
Leia. I hurt my throat, so I can’t speak. What’s wrong with you, bestie?”
After listening to the voice message, Renee burst out laughing. “Oh, it’s hilarious. I hurt my eyes, so I can’t see.”
Leia was shocked. “What? Your eyes are hurt? Is it temporary?”
“I guess it’s temporary.” Renee was blind, and Leia couldn’t speak, but they could still have good conversations with each other that made them both feel loved and supported.
