I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 215 After Recovering
North City, Huayu City Community.

Six p.m.

"Mom! Mom! Am I home? Am I in the right place?"

"Isn't that right this time? I was counting! 134 steps in total! Right?"

Wearing a down jacket and sunglasses, Yu Kexin pointed at the stairs in front of her with her guide stick and turned around excitedly!

"Wrong! It's over here!"

Came my mother's voice.

Yu Kexin felt her mother holding her hand, and she took her to change direction and walked more than ten steps.

"Ah... so far away again..."

"Mom, without you, I will never find my home..."

She hugged her mother's arm and sighed a little lost.

"Ke Xin, you're already great! Is this the first time you didn't pull your mother from the community gate to the corridor?"

"You just strayed off the track a bit just now, otherwise you would have succeeded. You just need to practice more!"

Seeing that Yu Kexin seemed a little uncomfortable, her mother took off her sunglasses.

The setting sun reflected an orange-red light on the snow on the ground, illuminating Yu Kexin's colorless eyes and adding a layer of luster to them.

"But I've been practicing for several days and still can't find the place..."

"Wow, Mom, am I really useless? I've caused you so much trouble..."

Yu Kexin pouted with a feeling of grievance and self-blame.

Mom smiled and scratched her nose.

"How could that be? You will always be my baby! Mom and Dad are your eyes. Mom and Dad will always be behind you!"

"Wow... Mom... You're so nice..."

Yu Kexin's eyes instantly turned red.

"Without you, without dad and grandma, I really don't know how I'm going to live..."

She turned her head and hugged her mother.

A whole month has passed since that nightmarish car accident.

When she was rescued but wearing an eye patch, Yu Kexin thought her eye was only slightly injured.

Her parents and grandma were always by her side, and her classmates and teachers took turns visiting her...

During that time she was actively recovering.

Until one night, she lay in bed unable to sleep.

She was thinking randomly that after she recovered, she must eat a lot and go to the South City to see the sea, a place she had always longed to go but had never been to.

But just as she was imagining it, in the darkness...

"Doctor, is there really no other way..."

Yu Kexin heard her mother's voice faintly coming from outside the door.

Although she couldn't see, her mother's breathing and tone still made Yu Kexin seem to see her mother with red eyes and great pain.

Her heart inexplicably tightened and she pricked up her ears to listen.

"...Ke Xin... is the future really completely invisible... She's only seventeen... She..."

"There's no other way. There's only a one in ten thousand chance that her eyes can recover. The only way is to hope for a miracle."

"Doctor, my eyesight is good. Can I give my eyes to Ke Xin? Her father's eyes would be fine too. We can each have one, is that okay?"

"This isn't a matter of exchanging eyeballs."

The doctor also sighed softly.

"Think about how to talk to the child these few days. He's only seventeen. If you can't bear it, I'll talk to him for you."

……

That night the doctor and my mother talked for a long time outside the door.

But Yu Kexin only heard that her eyes could no longer see.

She has been very brave since she was a child.

When I was a child, other little girls were afraid of the dark, thunder, and small insects.

But Yu Kexin is not afraid of anything.

When she was just in kindergarten, she could watch horror movies with her older brothers and sisters who were in junior high school.

That night, her brothers and sisters were so scared that they couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, but she slept soundly by herself!

All the demons, ghosts, and curses from evil spirits have no effect on her at all!

But on that night, at that moment, Yu Kexin felt for the first time that the darkness before her eyes was so cold and creepy.

She felt the darkness turn into a swamp, into an abyss, devouring her and swallowing her.

For the first time, she felt a fear of the dark.

There is no light in her world.

She realized belatedly that she would never see her parents again, her kitten again, or the beautiful scenery again.

The pleasant voice seemed to turn into the devil's roar in her mind, constantly stimulating her.

At that moment, Yu Kexin really didn't want to live anymore.

She was only seventeen years old and in high school. Her life had lost its light before it even began.

But no matter how she cried, how much she quarreled, or how much she gave up on herself, her mother always comforted her in a soft voice.

Only by listening to her mother's voice and with the company and encouragement of her family could Yu Kexin walk out of the hospital.

"Mom, your hands seem to have wrinkles."

When going upstairs, Yu Kexin rubbed her mother's hand and said with some heartache.

After adjusting to her blindness, she could already make out her mother's outline in the dark.

She thought that after she became blind, her mother would always remain the same as she was when she was young in her heart.

But the daily touch made Yu Kexin feel more clearly that her mother was getting older.

"It's freezing cold, just apply hand cream for two days and it'll be fine."

Mom withdrew her hand and let Yu Kexin hug her arm.

"Kexin, smell it, what is daddy doing at home?"

When we arrived at the door, my mother didn't open it directly, but asked.

"Hmm... let me smell it..."

Yu Kexin pouted and her nostrils flared.

"Stewed spareribs! Braised spareribs!"

The aroma lingering at the tip of her nose made Yu Kexin almost certain!

She took two more deep breaths.

"Yes! It's braised pork ribs! Dad's specialty!"

Yu Kexin said firmly.

Then he swallowed again.

"You guessed it right! Little greedy cat~"

Mom smiled and opened the door.

"Ke Xin is back? Wash your hands, grandma will serve you some food."

Yu Kexin heard her grandmother's kind voice.

"Grandma, are you knitting again?"

She moved her ears and felt that her grandmother put down the needle and thread, took off her reading glasses, and walked towards her.

Then he took the guide stick from her hand and picked up her slippers.

Grandma's footsteps were slow and her pace was not very uniform.

Yu Kexin changed into slippers.

Relying on memory, I walked along the wall to the dining table.

"Meow!"

Her cat Cola also jumped to her feet and rubbed Yu Kexin's ankles, as if waiting for Yu Kexin's touch.

"You're so good! I'll treat you to some dried fish tonight!"

Yu Kexin picked up Coke.

She didn't know why, maybe because she had been in the hospital for too long, but she always felt that the feel of Cola's hair seemed different from before.

"Here they come! Delicious ribs!"

Dad trotted out with a steaming bowl of braised pork ribs.

"delicious!"

Yu Kexin gave a thumbs up.

"This kid! It's delicious even though it hasn't been eaten yet?"

"You can tell by the smell!"

Yu Kexin picked up the chopsticks.

Ever since I lost my sight, my parents always pick out the shredded ginger and peppercorns from the dishes in advance.

"Ke Xin's birthday is in a month, right?"

"Yeah, eighteen."

Yu Kexin nodded while chewing on the ribs.

"Do you have any wishes? Mom and Dad will prepare them for you in advance!"

Dad asked as he poured her a bowl of soup.

"As for my wish... I hope my parents and grandma will live long and healthy lives!"

Yu Kexin said with a smile.

Her mother rubbed her head and said, "Everything will be fine after your eighteenth birthday."

"Yeah!" Yu Kexin also nodded heavily.

Everyone was chatting while eating.

During such warm moments every day, Yu Kexin always feels that she is the luckiest person in the world.

She has parents who love her the most in the world.

"Mom, I'm going back to my room to lie down for a while and listen to some novels."

After dinner, Yu Kexin stood up and said.

"It's okay, Mom. I can do it myself."

Hearing her mother stand up, Yu Kexin waved her hand quickly.

She found her bedroom easily by feeling the auxiliary lines that her father and grandmother had pulled for her at home.

"Ke Xin, mom will help you apply the medicine later!"

"Good~"

Yu Kexin went into the room and closed the door.

She first drew the curtains, then found the MP3 player her father gave her when she was in junior high school, and pressed the buttons on it to play the novel she had downloaded in advance.

Afterwards, Yu Kexin put on headphones to block out other sounds in her ears.

"call……"

Finally, she closed her eyes.

Although for her now, there seems to be no essential difference between opening her eyes and closing them.

But this may be the most relaxing time of the day for her.

Listening to a familiar novel, Yu Kexin fell asleep unknowingly.

In the dream, after the sudden car accident, she was not blind.

She and her parents came to the warm South City, went to the beach, lay on the sand, and enjoyed the caress of the sun, feeling warm all over...

Light……

The dazzling sunlight in the dream made Yu Kexin frown, rub her eyes, and turn her head to the side.

The discomfort of accidentally pressing down on the earphones made Yu Kexin blink and wake up from her dream in a daze.

There was a halo in front of my eyes.

As she breathed, the halo became clearer and clearer.

It was the light, the light above her head that she had not turned off.

Under the light is Yu Kexin's familiar bedroom.

Her study desk was neatly arranged with exercise books for her senior year review.

On the wall is a world geographical map with various monsoon ocean currents marked on it.

Am I dreaming...

Yu Kexin blinked.

……

?

!!!

She sat up suddenly!

"I……"

Yu Kexin timidly raised her hands and covered her eyes.

Then he took his hand away with trembling breath.

Can see...

She carefully closed her eyes again.

After taking two deep breaths as if he had prepared himself mentally, he opened his eyes slightly.

Can see it!
And the vision is even clearer than before!
Although she didn't wear glasses, Yu Kexin's myopia was nearly 100 degrees after her senior year of high school.

Now she feels that her vision has returned to 5.0!

"I can see..."

"Isn't this a dream? Is this not a dream?"

Yu Kexin bit the tip of her tongue hard!

hiss!It hurts!

She pinched her thigh again!

It hurts!
Although the physical pain kept reminding Yu Kexin that this was reality.

But for a moment she still felt... unreal!

Can I see it?
I can see!
She kept blinking, greedily looking at the room that she had seen countless times!

Before I knew it, my face was covered with tears!

Despite the turbulent waves in her heart, Yu Kexin continued to suppress her excitement and joy.

She didn't dare to be happy or excited.

Because she was afraid that she would fall into endless darkness again in the next second!

"mom!"

Finally, when I was sure that I could really see it!
Yu Kexin finally couldn't contain the excitement in her heart anymore!

"Mom! Mom! Dad! Grandma! Coke!"

She jumped out of bed and shouted excitedly!

"Hey! Hey! What's wrong?!"

There was a commotion outside!
"Mom! I..."

Yu Kexin pushed the door open suddenly!
But the moment she saw her mother, she froze in place.

This woman...

……who is it?
She stared blankly at the "mother" in front of her.

Her mother is a vocal teacher in an institution. She has black hair, single eyelids, and an oval face. She is a standard gentle beauty.

But the woman before him had dyed blonde hair and a winking black heart tattoo on her collarbone.

The woman in front of her is definitely not her mother!
But the sound that came out of her mouth was exactly the same as the voice of her mother in Yu Kexin's memory!
Boom boom boom!
Yu Kexin's heartbeat quickened little by little.

She looked around the room.

"Ke Xin, what's wrong?"

The father behind me narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Having a nightmare?"

Grandma on the sofa also looked up at her.

"..."

Yu Kexin only felt a chill quietly climbing up her scalp.

This man is not her father.

That old woman wasn't her grandmother either.

Including the white cat lying on the ground, it’s not her pet Coke!

Her cola is obviously gray...

But the voices coming out of these people's mouths were the same as her father's and grandmother's voices in her memory.

A fine layer of cold sweat broke out on Yu Xinke's back.

Fear grew in her heart.

who are they?
Why would these complete strangers play the role of my mom and dad?
When did they start.

The most important thing is...

Where are my parents?
Yu Kexin's heart was beating fast.

"Ke Xin, can you see...?"

Mom asked again.

The voice was trembling and excited.

If you close your eyes, you will only feel that the owner of the voice is hoping that Yu Kexin's eyes will get better.

But now, Yu Kexin saw that there was no concern on her "mother's" face.

She stared into Yu Kexin's eyes, full of inquiry and suspicion.

That kind of forest man's expression is chilling!

"Ke Xin, what did you want to say just now?"

Dad walked up to Yu Kexin and his voice came faintly.

His voice was also filled with immense concern.

But his face showed undisguised bloodlust and greed!
"Ke Xin, if you feel uncomfortable, tell grandma."

Grandma on the sofa also stood up.

In Yu Kexin's peripheral vision, her grandmother, who had a hunched back, straightened up little by little.

A scarlet light burst out from his cloudy eyes.

There was no trace of dying old age, only the oppression of a beast.

"Meow!!!"

The white cat on the cat climbing frame looks like it has set its sights on its prey!

His pupils shrank to the size of needles, and he made a series of shrill noises towards Yu Kexin that made the hairs on his body stand on end.

Amidst the cat's meows, the three strangers approached Yu Kexin quietly in the voices that she was most familiar with.

them……

Want to eat me.
