Chapter 655 Keeping a Close Watch

“I know. I’m just rushing them on purpose, so they’ll stay focused and be more efficient,” Caspian said.

“Well, you’re Lord Caspian. Since you’ve given the order, I’m sure they won’t slack off. You don’t need to keep calling Laina every few minutes. You’re only making her more stressed,” Willow chided.

Caspian nodded in agreement.

Back at Churron, Fergus and Lacey were still at the hospital.

It was 10:00 pm when Blake finally regained consciousness.

“Mom! Dad! Why can’t I see anything out of my right eye? Am I a disabled person now? I don’t want to live anymore!” Blake wailed.

“Don’t worry, Blake. We’ll find a way to treat your eye,” Lacey promised.

“But the doctor already said that my eye is too damaged. I can’t regain my vision, “Blake wailed again.

“There’s one way to treat you. We just need to get you an eyeball transplant. Don’t worry about this. We’ll find a donor for you,” Lacey assured.

She wasn’t going to tell Blake the truth, of course.

“That’s right. I’ve gotten people to start looking. I’m sure we’ll be receiving the news soon enough,” Fergus said.

“There was a high schooler, too. She was wearing a school uniform. I’m sure you can get to him by tracking her down,” Blake added.

“Don’t worry, Blake. I’ll deal with this. Now, tell me the truth. Why did that guy beat you up?” Fergus asked. He had a feeling Uriah didn’t tell the whole truth,
