Chapter 1080
With a smile, Camryn said, “I’ll arrange something for you since you trust me p>
Setting her cane aside, Camryn began to create a floral bouquet for Serenity.
Serenity observed Camryn skillfully manage the task and asked, “Ms. Newman, do you memorize the placement of each type of flower here p>
As she paired flowers together, Camryn responded, “I have to, since I can’t see. I hired employees to sort the flowers whenever new stock arrives. They tell me where each type is located p>
“My flower shop has been in business for several years, so I’ve had plenty of time to memorize everything. I believe I have it all down,” she added.
Looking into Camryn’s eyes, Serenity inquired, “Is there any chance you could regain your sight, Ms. Newman p>
With her smile fading, Camryn replied, “I lost my sight due to an illness. I was fortunate to survive at all. I’m fine without my sight; I’m just grateful to be alive p>
After losing her sight, she nearly succumbed to depression and despair.
However, she resolved to persevere and not give up on life. In doing so, she rediscovered her purpose.
She transitioned from a life filled with light to one shrouded in darkness.
By viewing the world through her heart, she was able to glimpse into the souls of others. Sometimes, humanity was more frightening than the supernatural.
Serenity felt sympathy and said, “Medical care and treatments are constantly advancing. You should consider eye surgery if you have the means and the opportunity arises. You might see the light of day again p>
“My aunt has never stopped trying to get me treated. She has taken me to numerous ophthalmologists over the years, and she continues to do so,” Camryn shared.
Camryn was fortunate to have an aunt who cared deeply for her.
She had three aunts, but her youngest aunt was closest to her father and felt particularly sympathetic toward Camryn. Her other aunts…
Two aunts were closer to her stepfather because he was a wealthy and influential man who managed Newman Enterprise. Serenity found herself at a loss for words. “Don’t feel sorry for me. I’ve been blind for a decade, and darkness has become my companion. I can navigate familiar places without a cane,” she explained. Instead, it was Camryn who offered comfort to Serenity.
Camryn assisted Serenity with an arrangement and wrapped up the flowers. She picked up the bouquet and turned around to present it to Serenity with a smile. “The flowers are ready, Mrs. York. Mr. York will be pleased to receive them from you.” The young couple seemed to be getting along better than the rumors suggested. Mrs. York was loyal and kind, and Camryn hoped that Serenity would gain the York family’s approval and find happiness with Mr. York.
Camryn had limited knowledge of Serenity due to her own mother, who was more like a wicked stepmother, refusing to take her to social events or introduce her to the wealthy circle because of her blindness. She believed that Serenity had not received approval from her in-laws, as Mrs. Newman had mentioned. This was likely why Serenity attended social gatherings with Mrs. Stone instead.
“Thank you,” Serenity said as she accepted the bouquet and then asked, “How much do I owe you p>
“It’s free. I can never repay you for your help last time. It’s just a bouquet; how could I possibly charge you p>
“Business is business. You paid for these flowers, so you should charge me for them. At the very least, you should break even, even if you don’t want to make a profit from the bouquet,” Serenity insisted.
She then pulled out two hundred dollars, recalling how Camryn had collected the same amount from Carrie at the Dowlings p>
