Chapter 74
Anya Quinn!
Calix just left, did he go to find Anya?
Then… did he hear what I said to Anya earlier? Thinking about this, Linda’s head buzzed.
Her legs trembled, almost causing her to fall.
In a hurry, she supported herself against the wall.
“Calix.”
A clear voice came to her ears.
It was Anya’s voice!
Linda stared at the two of them intently.
Anya’s back disappeared into the distance as she walked away, leaving Calix standing alone…
As soon as she turned around, another figure appeared out of thin air.
It was Cathy!
As she looked at Calix, her beautiful face was suffused with a gentle smile.
Then she walked over and hooked her arm with Calix’s.
Watching these scenes, Linda suddenly understood: the one who spoke just now was Cathy, and Calix and Anya passed each other without noticing each other!
Sigh…
She let out a slow breath from her chest and realized how frightened she had been just now.
“Calix, why did you suddenly bring me here?” Although Cathy’s voice was gentle, her eyes displayed confusion as she asked the question.

Calix gently patted her hand, “To get your eyes checked.”
“Eye check? But I just had a full body examination.” As Cathy spoke, her lips curved into a subtle smile, enhancing her cultured and knowledgeable persona.
“Do it again, just to be sure,” Calix said, looking into Cathy’s eyes.
He brought Cathy here to have her eyes checked.
The doctor said that the girl’s nickname was “Sal“.
And the doctor from Evercrest Town said that the one who consulted about live organ donation was “Cath“.
He had no acquaintances back then except for Cathy.
He received his corneas through donation, and it is most likely that Cathy was the donor.
Calix thought the doctor at the private hospital had a bad memory and thought “Anya” as “Cath.”
Of course, this still needed to be confirmed.
Cathy touched her own eyes.
Her eyes were the most beautiful part of her, clear and sparkling, always captivating.
When Calix looked at her eyes with such affection, she deliberately made a shy smile, appearing completely embarrassed.
In Calix’s eyes, it brought a different feeling.
If it really was her who donated the corneas, she would certainly not want him to know.
Because of this, he didn’t tell her the reason for the eye examination.
“Go inside,” he said softly.
Meanwhile, Linda watched Calix and Cathy go further away, unable to make sense of the situation.
She didn’t hear Calix talking to the doctor in the inner room.
Chapter 74
So she didn’t know the specific situation of the cornea donor.
Calix asked the doctor, and then he brought Cathy to check her eyes…
Linda didn’t know who the donor was, but she knew one thing: Cathy had excellent vision!
Calix had doubts about the donor and was thinking of beginning the investigation with Cathy?
Thinking of this, while Cathy was away, Linda entered the examination room and called her or phone.
“Linda, is there something urgent? If not, call me later,” Cathy said softly on the other end.
There were many instruments in front of her.
They were specifically for testing vision.
The technician was already waiting.
In an effort to change the impression she had left on others four years ago, Cathy had been worki hard to create a new image of herself as a knowledgeable, polite, and mature person, which was why she spoke like that.
“Cathy, wait!” Linda sounded a bit anxious, “It’s very important!”
When Cathy heard her say it was very important, she had to cover the phone and apologize to the technician, “Sorry, doctor, can I finish this call first?”
“Sure,” the technician nodded.
Cathy was a famíliar face on TV, having made a name for herself in commercials and popular dramas.
Unexpectedly, she was so amiable to others.
Even though the schedule was tight, the technician couldn’t resist agreeing.
After the technician agreed, Cathy walked to a distance from the technician by the window and spoke in a low voice, “Tell me.”
Linda took a deep breath.
Chapter 74
She started, “Cathy, Mr. Quinn is looking for the person who donated corneas to him back then.”
“Is that so? That’s good,” Cathy didn’t appear particularly nervous, instead, she said calmly, “If they are found, I will personally thank their family.”
Cathy’s lack of urgency made Linda’s heart beat faster, “The other person was a sixteen or seventeen–year–old girl, and it was a live organ donation!”
“What?” Cathy’s beautiful face finally changed.
She was surprised not by anything else but the words “live organ donation.”
You see, most people wouldn’t dare to do such a thing.
Despite her initial belief that donating corneas was a noble act, she quickly pondered whether the Quinn family had paid an excessive amount of money to obtain them, and whether some individuals would stop at nothing for financial gain.
Compared to losing a kidney for money, being blind in one eye was much less harmful, right?
In addition, Linda made a point of mentioning that the donor was no more than sixteen or seventeen years of age, which further strengthened her belief that young people are willing to do anything for money.
“In any case, this matter seems strange.” Linda didn’t have time to say more.
Analysis, just speculating.
“Yeah, why would Calix look for her?” Cathy’s willow–like eyebrows furrowed.
Even if it was a live organ donation, the Quinn family must have paid a huge sum of money. There was no reason to find someone else again.
Could it be that his eyes are having problems again?
Immediately, Cathy denied this possibility.
Calix undergoes specialized eye examinations every year. Linda showed her the results of the examination, everything was normal!
“So, Cathy, listen to me. During the vision test later, you must make Mr. Quinn believe that there’s a

serious problem with your eyes!” Linda said.
Over the years, Linda not only acted as Calix’s assistant but also served as Cathy’s strategist. She advised Cathy on many things.
“Why?” Cathy didn’t understand, “I don’t want to deceive Calix.”
She came back this time with the intention of spending her life with Calix.
Making a vow to treat Calix with love and respect, she also promised to cherish him forever.
“Cathy, sometimes a well–intentioned lie will not harm your relationship but may even be beneficial,” Linda advised carefully.
She also liked Calix.
But compared to Cathy, there was a huge difference in appearance alone.
Cathy’s appearance and voice were things she admired.
Plus, she was a celebrity.
Compared to an assistant, a celebrity sounded much better.
She acknowledged she couldn’t compare to Calix and, therefore, resolved to assist Cathy in getting closer to Calix to help her get over her infatuation.
“So…” she took a deep breath, “you should do as I say! Let Mr. Quinn think that you are the one who donated the corneas back then!”
“This… is too crazy!”
Even the Cathy from four years ago wouldn’t dare to do this.
Where would she find the courage now, four years later?
Linda tightened her grip on the phone, “Cathy, let me tell you the truth. That girl donated her corneas for free. Once Mr. Quinn finds her, he will definitely repay the favor.”
“Have you thought about it? Why would that girl be willing to donate her corneas for free?”
Chapter 74
“This…” Cathy also squeezed the phone tightly.
A strong sense of crisis instantly engulfed her!
She had learned from past experiences that the more daring the adventure, the greater the sense of purpose.
The only reason that could make a girl not ask for money was probably love…
She opened her mouth, but it felt like her entire chest and abdomen were filled with air.
She couldn’t make a sound at all.
Linda’s voice continued, “You and Mr. Quinn have finally come back together, reconciled after a breakup. Why add complications? As long as you admit to this, Mr. Quinn won’t go looking for that girl again, and your relationship with him will be stronger.”
“Didn’t you say that this time you want to treat Mr. Quinn seriously? Don’t you want him to completely forget the past and treat you like before?”
I do want that!
She dreamt of it!
Linda’s words hit the nail on the head.
Cathy had felt on more than one occasion that Calix didn’t treat her the same as before.
She had been trying to find a way to go back to how things were.
Linda’s suggestion…
Her fingers tightened even more.
The pale joints showed endless strength.
More like a determination…
