In a flash, the sense of nausea l had never felt before surged within me and I puked.
Seeing this, Laura panicked and came near me. When she was near, I rejected her harshly because for me she was so filthy.
The nausea overwhelmed me, so I shoved her away. Still pretending to be blind, I groped my way toward the bathroom. It seemed I had started to resent Laura's touch.
Inside, I gripped the sink as my stomach twisted again, bile rising in my throat. Yet my heart was so bitter.
As I looked in the mirror, I felt I was so ridiculous and shameful. Back then, Laura had knelt in front of my master and vowed she would cherish me for the rest of her life. Her sincerity had convinced him to let me marry her. I didn't expect that in the end, it would be such a waste.
Disheartened, I hung my head and the things I did not notice before became clear. There was an extra towel in the hook. There were slippers that were not in my size on the floor. There is even a toothbrush and a cup.
It dawned on me. Is it possible Jock has been living here, under my nose, just because I'm blind?
It wasn't surprising, that in the middle of the night Laura kept vanishing from our room and I could not find her.
