Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Caleb Mamet Demolishing the House
Translator: 549690339
Just as the thought crossed her mind, a commotion came from downstairs, accompanied by the crisp sound of a vase shattering on the floor.
Xaviera Evans: â
Was Caleb Mamet wrecking the place downstairs?
After waiting for a while and hearing no more noise from below, Xaviera pressed her temples and decided to head out and check on him.
As she turned the corner of the staircase, she saw Caleb standing motionless amid the debris. Xaviera couldnât help but ask: âWhat are you doing? â Caleb slowly looked up at her, and Xaviera paused abruptly.
Calebâs eyes seemed shrouded in a layer of haze, utterly unfocused. Although he was looking at her, his gaze wasnât actually on her⊠the feeling wasâŠ
Xaviera quietly approached him, avoiding the broken shards on the ground. She carefully waved her hand in front of him, yet his gaze remained unresponsive.
So⊠he couldnât see!
For a moment, Xavieraâs mind went blank. Although Caleb was sometimes a âdumb dog, â there was no doubt he was a strong man. Watching such a
formidable person suddenly go blind⊠Remembering the muffled groan sheâd heard when entering the house and seeing the broken shards scattered on the floor, Xaviera couldnât describe how she felt.
She took Calebâs hand and casually said, âYouâre so clumsy. No matter how wealthy you are, you shouldnât be smashing vases like this. Come on, letâs go to the living room.â
Calebâs fingertips hesitated, and he gently refused: âNo.â
Xaviera: ââŠâ What was he still being stubborn about!
She leaned in and turned on the kitchen wall light, using the bright illumination to inconspicuously examine if Caleb had been cut by the shards.
âCome to the living room with me first.â
Xaviera tugged on him again, and at that moment, she sensed an unwavering gaze locked onto her. She reflexively looked up and met a pair of deep yet sharp eyes.
Xaviera was taken aback, and she paused⊠Could he see?
âWhatâs Mrs. Mamet trying to do here? Command me?â Caleb raised an eyebrow, his gaze full of hidden meaning. He stared at Xaviera for a moment before taking long strides, stepping over the debris, and heading toward the living room: âThe way Mrs. Mamet just looked at me made me suspect that you care about me.â
Xavieraâs expression kept changing.
Ordinary people might have been fooled by Calebâs acting, but Xaviera had learned some medical skills from Albert and was sure she hadnât seen it wrong. At some point, Caleb indeed couldnât see.
But when the light came on, he could see again⊠What was going on? Night blindness?
Caleb glanced at Xaviera, who was frowning in confusion, and sighed with relief in his heart. The butler was on leave today, and he had forgotten to turn on the lights when he came home. The darkness had triggered the toxins in his body, causing his blindness. Although the dim light of dusk was enough for others to see, he was engulfed in total darkness.
He wanted to grope his way to turn on the light but accidentally entered the kitchen and bumped into something. Xaviera happened to return at that moment, and he didnât want her to know about his problem, so he pretended to be alright and dismissed her, intending to turn on the lights as soon as possible. However, he ended up causing an even bigger commotion.
He knew it was too strange to hide from Xavieraâs eyes, so what would she think after finding out that he could be blind? Would she consider him a monster like the others, thinking he turned into a blind freak at night?
While pondering this, Xaviera came out of the kitchen. She didnât know what kind of problem it was for Caleb to suddenly be blind and then able to see again, but she had said earlier that everyone had their secrets. If Caleb didnât want to share, she wouldnât pry.
However, having a health problem that he didnât treat posed a great risk given Calebâs status. It would be better to find a time to talk to Albert about it and have him check on Caleb. As she thought this, she subconsciously looked up at him, forgetting the step between the kitchen and living room. She tripped.
âBe careful.
Caleb took a few strides forward and firmly held Xaviera in his arms before she could fall. Xavieraâs face turned red as she struggled to get up, only to be scolded by Caleb in a displeased tone: âJust walk properly. What are you daydreaming about?â
Xaviera: â
If she wasnât concerned for his health, would she have been daydreaming and not looking where she was going? He really didnât appreciate good intentions!
Xaviera struggled to get up, but Calebâs arms held her like iron shackles. Angrily, she looked up at him, âWhat are you doing? Hurry up and let me go.â
âDonât move.â
Caleb frowned and spoke, seemingly irritated by her disobedience. He even lightly patted her head: âYou seem to have twisted your foot. Let me take a look..â
