Turles held Chi Chi in his arms, stroking her black hair, trying to calm her down.
"Chi Chi," said Goku. "If there's any-"
"GET OUT GOKU!" yelled Chi Chi.
"Chi Chi, I'm-"
"GET OUT NOW! I DON'T WANT YOU ANYWHERE NEAR ME!" Chi Chi screamed. "I HATE YOU!"
"Chi Chi, I know you're upset right now, but please don't say you hate me."
"I do hate you Goku, now GET OUT!"
"But-"
"Goku, for now, please leave her alone," said Turles.
With tears rolling down his face, and his heart completely broken, Goku left Chi Chi's room.
"I'm sorry Turles," cried Chi Chi. "I know it's not Goku's fault, but I can't help but be angry with him."
"It's okay Chi Chi," said Turles. "Listen, I want to have a talk with your doctor. Will you be okay alone?"
"Not really," sniffed Chi Chi. "Just don't take too long. I'm scared."
Turles kissed Chi Chi on top of her head, and left her room, so he could go find her doctor.
He didn't know how to feel or what to think. When he finally found Chi Chi's doctor, he asked him if Chi Chi would be able to see again. The doctor told him it was too soon to tell, and that they needed to run more tests on her. But as of now, Chi Chi's life as a blind person has just begun, and she's going to need all the help and support she can get.
Meanwhile, Goku was waiting in the lobby. He knew he should probably leave, but he couldn't leave Chi Chi or his brother at a time like this.
Turles entered the lobby and saw his brother sitting in a chair. He walked towards Goku and sat down beside him.
"What are you still doing here? I thought you went home," said Turles.
"How could I?" said Goku. "And how's Chi Chi?"
"Not good, Goku. The doctor told me that she's going to have to adjust living life as a blind person," said Turles.
"This is all my fault!" cried Goku.
"How many times must I tell you? This is not your fault!" said Turles.
Turles looked at his watch, got up from his chair, and started pacing.
"What's wrong, Turles?" asked Goku.
"Goku, I need to talk to you. Can we speak somewhere alone?"
Goku saw the concerned look on his brother's face. Both brothers left the lobby and went outside to Turles car.
"We're alone, so what is it Turles?" asked Goku.
"I can't do this Goku!" yelled Turles.
"Do what?" asked Goku.
"Stay with her! Support her!" said Turles.
"Calm down. Are you talking about Chi Chi?" asked Goku.
"Yes! I know this might sound mean and cruel, but I don't have the courage to stay with her. I don't want to marry her anymore.''
"HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT! SHE LOVES YOU!" shouted Goku.
"I know she does," said Turles. "She's waiting for me as we speak, but I'm not going back to her, Goku."
"What are you going to do?" asked Goku.
"Will you tell her what I said? And will you tell her I said sorry?"
"Turles-"
"I'm not going back in there. I'm not going back to her," said Turles.
"Fine... I'll tell her," said Goku.
"Thanks, Goku."
Turles started his car, and Goku got out. Goku watched as his brother drove away, officially abandoning Chi Chi. Goku walked back to the hospital and made his way to Chi Chi's room. He opened the door to see Chi Chi sitting up on her bed, with bandages wrapped around her eyes and head.
"Turles?" asked Chi Chi. "Turles is that you?"
"Yes," Goku said.
Goku didn't have the heart to tell Chi Chi the truth. She just lost her sense of sight, and he didn't want her to lose her first love too. So if Turles is the person Chi Chi needs right now, then for Chi Chi, he is going to be Turles.
