"Young master, wash Miss Morrison first, and bind up her wound!" Paige wipes her tears and walks over.

Young master is brought up by her, like her own son. Seeing young master and Nina being like this, she also feels upset.

When Nina wakes up, she suddenly feels that she suddenly aged 10 years, as if she had a very long dream and had walked a very long way.

There is a dim lamp on the bedside table. Lucien fell asleep lying down by her bed.

His hands are heavily bandaged. His brow furrow tightly, as if something bad is happening to him in his dream.

Nina's forehead is also wrapped with thick bandages that she can't sleep well. She turns to face the window. She does not want to see Lucien's face.

Nina's rolling over immediately wakes up Lucien.

"Nina, are you awake? You are finally awake!" Lucien is excited to hold Nina's hand and says, "You have been sleeping all day and night."

Nina just wants to get rid of Lucien's hand, but finds something wrong!

She sees Lucien's lips moving as if he is talking to her. However! She could not hear what he is talking about!

A great fear hangs over Nina. She curls up and retreats to the corner of the bed, looking at Lucien in horror.

Lucien thinks that Nina is still afraid of him, so he moves lightly and puts Nina's hand tightly on his face. His bloodshot eyes are filled with guilt and remorse, and he says, "Nina, I'm sorry! I am not human! Hit me!" He raises Nina's hand up and hits hard to his face!

Nina, however, screams and draws back her hand! She find out she is deaf! She will never hear a sound again!

Thinking that Nina is afraid of him, Lucien holds Nina into his arms tightly and says softly, "Nina, it is my fault... it's all right... I will never do this to you...do not be afraid."

Nina knows Lucien is talking to her, and the heat of his breath sprayed on her neck. Lucien hugs her tightly, she can feel the vibration of his throat, but she cannot hear any sound!

That is... good. As long as she closes her eyes, she can lose touch with the world. Just close her eyes and Lucien will disappear...

Nina curls herself more tightly in the quilt, keeping her eyes closed, does not speak, nor move. Like a dead wood.

...

The ashtray in the living room is full of cigarette butts.

Lucien's eyes are bloodshot. He sits on the sofa smoking hard. After a while, both two ashtrays are filled.

Paige comes over with a tray. The food on the tray is still full and there is no sign of being moved.

Seeing Lucien's gloomy face, Paige shudders and says, "Young master, Miss Morrison still refuses to eat."

Lucien stares at Paige so hard, "Won't you find a way to make her eat if she does not eat!"

"Yong master, I have tried my best... I have been trying to persuade Miss Morrison, but it is useless... Miss Morrison has not eaten for two days..." says Paige cowardly, afraid of Lucien to be angry.

Miss Morrison did not eat anything in the morning, and the Lucien almost smashed all the antiques in the living room...

"If Nina doesn't eat anything at dinner, all the people at the kitchen will be fire!" Lucien snuffs out the cigarette butt and walks to Nina's room.

"Young master!" Paige sees Lucien go to Nina's room and quickly stops him. Now the last person Nina wants to see should be Lucien.

"Huh?" Lucien turns and looks at Paige.

Paige cannot say that Miss Morrison hates him so he can't go in there to irritate Nina, can she? Seeing Lucien turning around, Paige has no choice but says, "Young master, Miss Morrison's ears...seem to..."

"What's wrong with Nina's ears?" Lucien stares with widen eyes, and fear and worry suddenly spread in his heart.

Paige takes a breath and says cautiously, "Miss Morrison's ears seem to be deaf. She was startled when I came over to her side just now. She should have known I was in the room when I closed the door so loudly."

"What did you say? Say that again?" Lucien rushes to Paige's side and grabs the front of her dress.

Paige is Lucien's wet nurse and Lucien has always been polite to her. Today unexpectedly he makes such an action that Paige knows Lucien is really panicked!

All the doctors of ear-nose-throat department in C City have been called here by Lucien.

All the experts, after diagnosis, shake their heads to tell Lucien that Nina is really deaf.

When Lucien asks if Nina could be cured, all the experts bow their heads and say nothing.

Only a young doctor speaks slowly, "Her deafness, of course, was caused by an external shock, which caused damage to the cross-nerve. But more importantly, it caused by psychological effects. She tries to escape some things by being deaf. Deafness is her camouflage."

Lucien doesn't have the patience to listen to the medical things, so he directly interrupts the doctor and asks, "Can that be cured?"

The young doctor hesitates, "The nerve damage can be cured, but the psychological problem is uncertain. It depends on what causes her autism. Once we know the reasons, she can be cured gradually."
