Temporary Luna, Permanent Heartbreak - Chapter 89: Chapter 89

Half an hour later.
"Sterling," Celeste walked out of the examination room.
She lowered her head slightly, allowing her long hair to fall, and used her slender fingers to gently hook it back.
"How was it?" Sterling hurriedly approached, looking anxious.
"This... ask the healer," Celeste turned back and looked at the healer.
"Don't worry, everything is normal," the healer said.
Sterling's tense eyes suddenly relaxed.
Confusion slowly surfaced in his mind.
"Normal?"
"Yes, normal. Let's go quickly," Celeste pulled Sterling and said urgently, as if she wanted to leave immediately.
Sterling didn't say anything, his hand hanging down.
His fingers fell, trying to grasp something, but caught nothing.
So, was it not Celeste who donated the corneas back then?
Then who could it be?
Cel...
Zara...
He silently repeated these names.
"Sterling, I'll go to the restroom, wait for me here for a moment," Celeste pushed him when she saw he hadn't moved.
Sterling was lost in thought and just made a vague sound in response.
When Celeste entered the restroom, he delved deeper into this issue.
The next moment, he took out his phone and dialed the number of the Moonless Hospital's ophthalmology department.
After the call connected, he urged impatiently, "I want to speak to Dr. Cooper."
"Who are you? What's your matter with Dr. Cooper?" the other end asked.
"Hurry!" he was very impatient.
The staff on the other end was intimidated by his tone and didn't dare to hesitate. They quickly went to find Dr. Cooper.
Dr. Cooper had just finished examining a patient and was scribbling notes onto a clipboard. As she walked towards the call, she peeled off her disposable gloves, the sound of rustling plastic echoing through the hallway.
Impatiently, she said, "Can't you see I'm busy?"
The staff who answered the call looked apologetic, "The other person seems to be very anxious, it's probably something important."
Only then did Dr. Cooper pick up the phone, "Who is this?"
"It's me, Sterling." Sterling spoke crisply, "Dr. Cooper, can you tell me more about this she-wolf named Cel?"
"Cel?" Dr. Cooper was caught off guard by his question and was silent for a while before responding, "This she-wolf's vision is so poor, yet you gave her five diopters of correction. This won't happen. If the patient raises the issue, it could be considered a medical accident."
"This was the patient's wish, and she insisted on it. What can I do?" Sterling replied.
"Which patient is this crazy? If she didn't want others to know about her poor vision, she shouldn't have come for an examination."
"Ah, it's just that... she's a big star, Cel... Ah, maybe she's afraid of unnecessary trouble from her fans, let's not worry about it too much."
As Sterling was waiting for Dr. Cooper's response, he suddenly heard this snippet of conversation.
He immediately turned his head and saw a healer in a white coat and a nurse hurriedly walking away.
Although the healer didn't reveal much, the words "big star" and "Cel" were clear to him!
With his head buzzing, he quickened his pace and rushed forward.
In one swift motion, he reached out and grabbed the male healer's shoulder, forcing him to turn around.
"Alpha Ashford?" The male healer was startled when he saw Sterling.
Sterling comes here every year for an eye examination, and he recognized him.
"How is Celeste's vision?" Sterling dragged him in front of him and asked abruptly.
Because he was too anxious, his eyes looked sharp and fierce.
The healer was frightened by his demeanor and couldn't speak for a while.
"Speak politely," the nurse advised softly.
Sterling finally released his grip on the healer's shoulder, "Give me the real results!"
The healer rubbed his sore shoulder and felt that he couldn't lift his arm.
This alpha looked thin and fair, but his grip was unexpectedly strong.
Hearing that Sterling wanted the results, he hesitated, "I'm sorry, unless the patient agrees, the results cannot be disclosed."
He didn't say anything else, but the healer's legs trembled.
"Okay." Finally, the healer sighed and handed over the report.
Sterling quickly lowered his head and began to look through the results, but the more he looked, the tighter his pupils became.
His heart was fiercely convulsing!
Because he was so focused on reading, he didn't hear Dr. Cooper's words over the phone, "I don't know the she-wolf's full name, but her father is a famous craftsman around here..."
Celeste slowly walked out, pretending to be completely nonchalant.
As an actress, she could easily perform such a role.
"Sterling," she called out, walking quickly to Sterling, "You waited for such a long time, I'm sorry."
Sterling's face was unreadable as he looked up at her, leaving her unsure of how to react.
"What's wrong?" Celeste knew what he was thinking and deliberately asked.
However, Sterling firmly grasped her shoulder and said coldly, "Do you find lying fun?"
"Huh?" Celeste completely didn't expect such a reaction from him and felt her mind go blank! Her legs trembled.
Sterling had exposed her lie...
How could this happen?
At this moment, Celeste was thinking more about: It's over!
She had worked tirelessly to earn Sterling's forgiveness and a promise to pursue a relationship with her. But now, as a result of this incident, she was back to square one.
No, it might be even worse!
Four years ago, she had hurt him deeply, and now, pretending to be the one who donated the corneas, Sterling would hate her! He would go find that she-wolf!
Devote himself entirely.
Sterling was an alpha of strong emotions.
And that she-wolf happened to have feelings for him...
Although Linda had told her that there was no useful information left by the other party, Celeste knew that there was nothing Sterling couldn't achieve when he set his mind to it!
A profound sense of despair overwhelmed her, and tears flowed from her eyes. She no longer cared about her image; she cried.
Then, her trembling arms suddenly tightened!
Someone had grabbed her.
Very tightly, extremely tight.
That alpha pressed her into his embrace and hugged her tightly!
The force was so strong that she could hardly breathe.
In the midst of this suffocating feeling, she heard Sterling's rapid and painful breathing.
"Even if I'm blind for the rest of my life, I don't want you to take such a risk. How can you do this to me, I can't bear it!"
"Huh?"
Celeste covered her lips silently.
Could it be...
Sterling was still holding Celeste, tears falling into her neckline and landing on her neck. "Even if I'm blind, I don't want you to do this, Celeste, I really don't want you to do this."
Those tears were scorching hot.
Celeste had never seen him so emotional.
Even when she revealed such a scandal four years ago, and Zara forced a mating, he had never shown this kind of impulse.
At most, he would silently clench his fists.
But this time, he cried.
Celeste had been acting, but at this moment, she was drawn into the drama by him, and tears filled her eyes.
In her heart, she felt fortunate, "It's good, it's good."
Fortunately, she didn't directly make the healer say there was a problem with her eyes but used that method instead.
Fortunately, Sterling hadn't found out.
With this favor, she could once again rise to prominence and become the she-wolf on Sterling's mind.
The two were wrapped up in a tight embrace, their bodies intertwined, when a jarring voice abruptly interrupted them...
