The professor smiled and said, “Miss Tate, it was Hayden who sent me an email first and asked me some questions.”
Averie Unexpectedly speechless.
“Let me introduce myself first. My name is Stephen Lewis. I am a professor and vice dean of the School of Mechanical Engineering. I have long stopped taking students. But I like Hayden very much, so I took him as a student.” Stephen said, “I’m 66 years old this year. Your country, Aryadelle has a policy of retiring when you reach the age, but we don’t have it here. I love my job, so I still work every day.”
“Mr. Lewis, what did Hayden say when he sent you an email?” Averie especially wanted to know his son’s inner thoughts.
Since Averie lost her eyesight, the mother and son have rarely communicated.
Most of the time, it was Hayden who comforted her. If she asked about Hayden’s situation at school, Hayden would only choose a good answer to her.
“He told me about his grandfather. He said that his grandfather was an engineer and had been working on driverless cars during his lifetime.”
Averie: “Yes, my dad passed away many years ago. Hayden never met his grandfather.”
“But Hayden is very interested in driverless systems now. He thinks it’s cool. He sent me his resume. I read his resume and thought he was the talent I needed.” Stephen Lewis said frankly, “Unmanned systems are actually a high degree of fusion of mechanical engineering and computer science…”
A week later.
The gauze on Averie’s eyes was removed.
She tried to open her eyes and feel the world in front of her.
Before the surgery, she couldn’t see anything at all.
During the day there was a red light in front of the eyes, and at night it was a vast darkness.
But now, her eyes were no longer a monotonous red light.
She could vaguely see the figures in front of her, but she couldn’t tell who was who.
“Mike!” Averie said excitedly.
“I’m here!” Mike held her arm, “How are you feeling? Can you see? Even if you can’t see, it’s fine. The doctor said it may take half a year for you to return to normal vision.”
“I can I saw something.” Averie pushed his arm away, “That’s the door over there, right?” Her finger pointed towards the door of the room.
Mike was overjoyed, “Yes! That’s the door over there!”
“Don’t help me, I’ll walk over by myself. I can do it.” Averie took a deep breath and walked towards the door step by step.
Outside the door of the ward, a voice of discussion entered her ears.
“Averie is really pitiful. I heard that her ex-husband found a new love, and she is still blind.”
Averie’s footsteps stopped suddenly.
“I can’t say that either. After her surgery is successful, she will be able to recover. It can only be said that men have always been fond of the new and disliked the old, and have little affection. Especially rich men.”
Another said, “Averie divorced him, not necessarily. What a bad thing! Maybe her luck is behind.”
Averie heard this and turned back to the ward.
“Doctor, can Averie go home to recuperate?” Mike asked the doctor.
The doctor reminded, “Yes. But you must be careful not to let her go out alone. She should not be able to see clearly now, so she should ask a nurse to watch. If you feel uncomfortable, contact me immediately.”
Mike: “Okay.”
“Also, Averie has stitches in her eyes, and the stitches will be removed in three months.” The doctor said.
Mike asked, “Okay. Is there anything else to watch out for?”
The doctor continued, “Pay attention to eye cleanliness, keep a good mood, and don’t cry. As long as you hold on for a while, you will be relieved when you fully recover.”
“Well, thank you for your hard work.” Mike sent the doctor out of the ward.
The nurse helped Averie to sit beside the hospital bed.
“Miss Tate, do you want to lie down?”
“I’ll sit for a while.” Averie has been lying down for the past few days with a sore back.
“Your eyes will recover soon, why are you so frowning?” The nurse didn’t seem very happy to see her, so she smiled and comforted her, “I have worked as a nurse for many years, taking care of many patients, and seeing many sick people. How painful. I think a healthy body is more important than anything else.”
“I think so too.” Averie smiled, and continued, “Actually, I’m in a good mood. When my eyes recover, I can do a lot, what I want to do!”
Mike: “Yeah! Would you like some soup?”
Averie: “Help me serve it. I’ll drink it myself.”
Mike: “Okay.”
After a while, Mike took the discharge sheet and returned to the ward.
Averie finished the soup and handed the soup bowl to the nurse.
“Averie, the discharge procedures are done.” Mike walked up to her, “I want to take you to the resort to recuperate.”
Averie: “Is this necessary?”
“The sea view room, it’s okay to look at the sea, it’s good for your eyes.” Mike has already booked the house.
Averie readily accepted: “you don’t have to stay at home with me from now on. I’m much better than before.”
“I’m fine again…” Mike supported her and walked out of the ward.
“I heard you talking on the phone last time.” Averie was silent for a few seconds, then said, “Elyette fired Vice President Locklyn and replaced him with a new. He planned to deal with AN Technology.”
These were Mike’s original talk.
Mike looked at her in surprise: “Why haven’t you told me?”
“I don’t know what to say. Even if I asked you to work in the company before, you wouldn’t listen.” Averie’s tone was calm, “AN Technology is me If you don’t have me, you don’t have to be so tired at all. You don’t have that much interest in starting a business and working.”
Mike: “I’m not as wasteful as you said. Although I don’t really like work, I also need a sense of accomplishment.”
Averie: “Then what do you think?”
“I’ll go to the company when your eyes are better.” Mike reassured her, “I won’t let Elyette hit us.”
“Mike, we don’t have to fight with him. If we are really not his opponents, then we will accept the result of failure indifferently.” Averie prepared for the worst, “I will even join the Tate Industries. I’ve given up, and I don’t feel so bad.”
Mike: “It’s not there yet. You don’t have to be so pessimistic.”
Averie: “It’s not pessimistic, it’s to plan for the worst first, so as not to be caught off guard.”
Mike: “Well.”
After leaving the hospital, Mike drove Averie to the beach more than an hour away from the hospital.
This was a famous seaside tourist city in Bridgedale.
After staying at the Sea View Villa, Mike took her to the balcony.
It was 4 o’clock in the afternoon, the sun was not as hot as noon, and the sea breeze blows, bringing bursts of coolness.
Mike: “There was a blue-green sea in front, can you see it? The sea is very beautiful.”
Averie tried hard to see the world in front of her. Her eyesight was a little blurrier than when she first removed the gauze. So she didn’t answer Mike’s words.
She could only vaguely see a patch of blue, not the blue-green he was talking about.
“I told Hayden that we are here. It’s too far from Hayden’s school, so I asked Hayden to live at Gwen’s side first, and then come here on the weekend.” Mike changed the subject.
“Well.” Averie wanted to rest her eyes for a while, “I seem to see a reclining chair.”
Mike: “Yes, there is a reclining chair on the balcony. Would you like to lie down for a while?”
Averie: “Okay.”
Mike helped her to the reclining chair Lie down.
She closed her eyes and immersed herself in a new environment.
Time flies, and summer vacation was fleeting.
