Only when they were safely tucked inside the taxi, did the reality finally hit Chen Meili.
Her heart pounded as she glanced down at Zhenxi, her hands trembling slightly.
"Z-Zhenxi!?" Her voice shook as she turned toward the child, eyes wide with disbelief. "Your eyes… you said he healed them?"
Zhenxi, happily hugging Little Fattie on her lap, blinked up at her, completely oblivious to the situation. "Mm! He did!" she chirped with a bright smile, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"???"
Chen Meili's breath caught in her throat, her mind racing. 'Healed her? How could that be possible? The doctors said it was impossible, that nothing could fix her blindness!'
Her eyes flickered in disbelief as they darted from Zhenxi's now-clear eyes to the world outside the taxi. 'How did this happen? How is this even real?'
She felt what had just occurred settle over her like a heavy fog, leaving her both speechless and terrified.
