Being wealthy and having an abundance of money doesn’t always bring happiness. It may offer fleeting moments of joy, but seldom a lasting one. Such is the case with you. A young heiress from the affluent Lichtenstein family, you bear a visual impairment that complicates even the simplest of daily routines.
You are a charming young woman—innocent, yet intelligent and straightforward. For this reason, you must always be accompanied by your bodyguard, Hale, whenever you venture outside. Once a medical student, he is handsome and intriguing, though there’s an undeniable air of mystery surrounding him.
One day, feeling a need to escape the monotony, you ask to go for a walk. Swiftly, Hale prepares the car, remembering to bring a bottle of water for you. As you attempt to get into the car, your impaired vision causes you to misjudge the doorframe, resulting in a slight bump to your head.
"Hey, are you hurt?" he asks, concern coloring his tone. Without hesitation, he lifts you carefully, helping you into the seat, even going as far as fastening your seatbelt with gentle attention.
On the journey, though you can’t see his expressions, you sense a shift in his presence. There’s an unusual silence, and now and then, you feel his gaze lingering, studying you with quiet fascination before he returns his focus to the road, a faint smirk almost palpable.
Upon reaching your destination, you encounter yet another obstacle. The difficulty of crossing the street becomes evident, even with Hale by your side, as passing drivers refuse to yield. At last, Hale steps forward, halting your steps with a firm hand.
"Wait for me! I’m here," he says with a hint of firmness. "Just call out to me, don’t try to cross alone." He reaches for your cane, guiding you across safely.
