Angel of Light [English Version] (Completed)

Chapter 26: A Ray of Light

The long-awaited day arrived, the day Clarke was going to undergo the operation that might return her sight. Lexa had made sure that she would be there with her beloved artist. Since they had reunited in body and soul, they had hardly separated, happy loving each other, creating a unique and private universe where they loved to escape to enjoy what united them, what made them live, the purest and simplest love.

While Clarke was prepared by a nurse, Lexa was by her side in the operating room holding her hand, while the other one caressing Clarke's face, while her soft lips kissed Clarke's forehead The artist was nervous, but the love and the sweet support that Dr. Woods gave her at her side, conveyed the calm and positivity she needed, even though Lexa was a nervous wreck, as she had never been before in this life, although she managed to hide it from Clarke.

Dr. Kane was talking to Clarke's mother, Dr. Griffin, who wanted to be with her daughter on such an important day and time of her life. When Clarke introduced her mother to the beautiful and famous Dr. Woods, Abby could sense that there was something more between her daughter and the professional than the patient-doctor relationship. But she mentally repeated that today was not the day to question, nor to speculate about her daughter's private life, so she kept her conversation with Dr.Woods brief, then spoke with Dr. Kane who explained what would happen during Clarke's operation in detail, in very medical terms,

Lexa felt her legs tremble when Clarke introduced her to her mother, but she maintained a professional and very friendly posture that she used with her colleagues. Lexa found Dr. Griffin to be a woman with a brilliant mind, and with typical manners of the upper class. Lexa was thankful that she could not see in Abby's eyes any sign of scrutiny.

Although Lexa noticed that Abby watched with some interest when she and Clarke spoke to each other, or when the young doctor, without realizing, took the artist's hand in her own with affection. Lexa respected Clarke's decision not to tell her mother about their relationship, at least not yet. The artist explained that Dr. Abby Griffin was very old school, where there should not be any sentimental relationship between the patient and the medical professional. Lexa knew that her intimate relationship with Clarke, would make the artist's mother disappointed, and Lexa did not want that on such a special day, as Abby would want to talk about their relationship, and might also form a bad impression of Lexa. Luckily for Lexa, the meeting with Clarke's mother was brief, and she would say it was very pleasant.

Now they were there in the operating room, Clarke was lying on the bed, trying to calm her nerves, as she smiled at the caresses and kisses that Lexa did not stop giving her, before the fascinated glances of the nurses and the anesthetist, who prepared the patient for the operation. Obviously, they could see the relationship between Dr. Woods and the patient, but nobody judged them, but rather enjoyed seeing how the professional transmitted support and much love to the patient, in that tender way.

- Well, Dr. Kane is coming soon and I'm going to have to restrict myself from kissing beautiful. But when you fall asleep I want you to think that everything is going to be all right, you have to keep that in mind all the time, I think that's very important, don't you?

- I'll try Lexa, but we've already talked about it, I've explained it to you, it's difficult for me... - Clarke was trying to explain, as she now caressed the hand with which Lexa caressed her face.

- You have to try for exactly that reason, you must cling to good energies, think positive, think that in a few days those beautiful blue eyes of yours will be able to see mine, and the whole world again. I know that will happen, my love, I promise you - Lexa expressed with great confidence, transmitting that confidence to Clarke, who smiled nodding her head.
