Later Mari was allowed to go to the garden and she talked to all of her friends Marc Ruby Elsa Nathaniel and Alix. They talked about a lot of things but especially how Mari can't wait for the bandages to be taken off and so she can see Adrienne again and see Felix for the first time.
Mari was soon called back to her room and eveeyone looked at each other feeling a lot of emotion for Mari getting her sight back the main one being fear of what her reaction might be when she finds out everyone lied to her.
Fu went to visit Mari and she told him about the note she read before the operation that said that Adrien was back. "Fu if Adrien is back please don't let him get near me. Take care of me like when I used to live with you in the neighborhood."
"Of course dear don't worry." Fu replied.
Adrien was at his house thinking about the moment when Mari finds out that he and Felix Noir are the same person. At that moment Marc walked up to him. "HI Adrien I'm here to see Ruby."
"At the moment Ruby isn't at the house." Adrien replied.
"That's wierd we agreed that she would come change and eat so we could go see the lawyer." Marc stated.
"I haven't seen her at the house and Natalie told me that she hasn't come back yet." Adrien replied.
"That's strange if she had something to do she should have let me know." Marc stated. He noticed Adrien's worried look. "Adrien do you have a problem you seem worried."
"I'm worried about the big moment when Mari gets her sight back and she finds out the truth." Adrien replied.
"I know what you mean but we shouldn't worry since I'm sure that everything will turn out great." Marc replied.
Sabine and Tom went to see Mari and they did their best for Mari to forget about the whole Adrien situation. "Mom please tell me that it's not true that Adrien is back."
Sabind glanced at Tom. "I promise that Adrien isn't back."
"You don't sound convinced. Adrien is back isn't he." Mari asked.
"Mari don't make false ideas in your head." Tom stated.
"You guys have no idea how I feel about all of this." Mari replied.
"Mari all you need to worry about is to get your sight back and to be by Adrienne's side right now." Fu stated.
"You're right Fu I shouldn't worry because I have my Adrienne and the love of Felix." Mari replied. "But I'm still afraid."
"Nothing bad will happen to you dear. I'll protect you from everything." Tom stated.
Later Mari was walking around the hospital with Nathaniel. "My parents are right I shouldn't be thinking about Adrien."
"What do you mean?" Nathaniel asked. Mari doesn't respond at first as she thinks about all the good memories she had with Adrien especially the wedding. "Don't worry about anything everything will turn out great."
"It's hard Nathaniel there are too many memories." Mari replied. "I love Felix but I wish that I could forget about all the memories that I had with Adrien."
"I understand that Mari but those memories are what constructs you as a person." Nathaniel stated. "That's how we form who we are with our memories."
"But I don't want to do that with my memories I want to take them out from my mind." Mari replied. "Especially the moments when I thought that I was going to be the happiest woman in the world. That I would find love the rest of my life but it was a lie." Nathaniel hugged her.
"Plus you have no other choice but to accept that moment" Marc added. "It's not like you could skip that lost moment."
"No I have to be there by force." Adrien replied. "I can't leave that responsibility to Jake because it's my responsibility. That moment also needs to be between me and Mari."
"Than have faith that everything will be fine." Marc stated before grabbing his phone and called Ruby but she didn't answer. "Ruby isn't answering. I honestly don't know what to think anymore. I'm worried why she isn't here if she told me to meet up with her here."
"Alright Mathew we saw each other before but now I think that we need to talk seriously." Ruby told Mathew as they were at a coffee shop. "And this will be for the last time."
"You read my mind Ruby because I was thinking the same thing though not for the part of the last time." Mathew replied.
"Well go ahead I'm listening." Ruby said with her arms crossed. "Tell me what you want so we can get rid of this embarrassing and dreadful moment."
"You're the one that called me so you should talk first." Mathew replied.
"Well I think that you forgot but you called me to a legal calling. Do you really want to take this to a judge?" Ruby asked.
"I want to do that so I can claim my rights as a husband." Mathew replied.
"What rights Mathew? You lost those rights and now they don't exist only in your head." Ruby stated. "Especially because I don't love you."
"Don't forget the words that I'm going to be your husband during the good and bad times." Mathew replied. "During the poor and rich times."
"Yes but I was with you the whole time and it was all bad." Ruby stated. "And you looked to be poor all by yourself for being selfish and a womanizer. For not knowing how to respect and value me."
"I'm sick Ruby." Mathew replied. "I have an uncurable sickness and all I want is to be my your side during my last months or even days. All I want is to be by your side until the end."
"C'mon cheer up." Nathaniel said with a smile.
At that moment Detective Kurtsberg walked to them. "Nathaniel."
"Dad?" Nathaniel asked confused.
"Go on with your dad." Mari replied. "I'll wait for you here."
"Alright." Nathaniel said before walking with his dad to the cafeteria.
At that moment a man who was busy looking at his phone stepped on Mari's foot. "Ow!"
"I'm sorry miss I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking." The man said looking at her. "I see that you are just operated from your eyes."
"Yes that's true." Mari replied.
"Well hi my name is Phipp I'm here visiting a friend who broke her leg. I'm really sorry that I stepped on your foot I was busy looking at my phone. I work for a fashion company and I always am busy." The man stated.
"Really? I love fashion I'm actually studying to be a fashion designer." Mari replied. "I'm Marinette Dupain-Cheng but everyone calls me Mari."
"Well I wish you luck. It was nice meeting you Mari but I need to go now." Philip said before walking away.
Adrien walked over to Nathaniel and Detective Kurtzberg. "HI Detective Kurtzberg."
"Dr. Agreste Nathaniel just told me the great news." Detective Kurtzberg stated.
"That's right Detective Kurtzberg I'm finally going to operate Nathaniel." Adrien replied.
"I just want to make it clear that I'm only doing it to make Mari happy." Nathaniel stated. "We made a deal and I have to follow it."
"I just came from her room and Fu told me that she was with you." Adrien replied.
"Yes I left her near the garden of the hospital." Nathaniel stated. "You should be able to find her there." Adrien nodded and walked away. "I'm worried about when she gets her sight back. If she finds out that I also lied to her she'll never forgive me."
"Don't think like that Nathaniel you'll see that everything will be solved by the end." Detective Kurtzberg replied.
"You shouldn't have gone seen Mathew all by yourself Ruby." Marc told Ruby.
"That's not the important part Marc the important part is that he's sick." Ruby replied.
"That's what he told you but who assures you that he really is sick." Mathew stated.
"I know that he has acted wrongfully but I don't think he's capable of making up such a delicated story." Ruby replied.
"Well will that change anything between us?" Marc asked.
Ruby sighs. "I don't know. Marc I love you and you know that but I made a promise to God to be by Matthew's side during the health and sickness."
"Don't you realize that he's only trying to manipulate you?" Marc asked.
"Please let me have time to think about this." Ruby replied.
"Felix please tell me when you'll take my bandages off?" Mari asked Adrien.
"In excidly one week Mari." Adrien replied. "In one week I'll take your bandages of."
One week later Mari was at the house ready for her bandages to be taken off. She was waiting for Adrien with her whole family. "I can't wait because the first face I want to see is you Adrienne and Felix will be the second person I want to see." Everyone else in the room glanced at each other.
At Adrien's house Adrien and everyone else was nervous about what Mari's reaction would be when she finds out the truth. They hoped for a positive reaction but they were almost sure that it was going to be negative.
Adrien and Audrey left as Ruby stayed to wait for Maya. Marc arrived and Ruby turned around avoiding eye contact with him. "Do you really think that hiding from me is a solution? You have avoided me all week. Ruby did you stop loving me?"
Ruby looked at him. "C'mon Marc I only asked you to give me time."
"Since when is giving a person time mean being ignored?" Marc asked. "Did you decide to go back to Mathew?"
"I didn't decide anything yet Marc." Ruby replied. "Please don't pressure me."
"Our time is being stolen." Marc stated. "It's not fair that we don't see each other for a whole week." They were about to kiss when a doorbell rang so Marc went to open the door and Mathew walked in.
A verbal fight started between the two men so much that Ruby almost always had to make sure that they wouldn't start a physical fight. In the end Mathew said something to guilt trip Ruby before walking away.
Soon Adrien and his crew arrived to Mari's house. "Are you ready Mari?"
"Yes at last you finally came." Mari stated. "I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
Adrien's crew set up everything they needed to take of Mari's bandages in the study so they could control the light. Adrien got ready to take her bandages off but not before glancing at everyone in the room.
Meanwhile Nathaniel was outside the gate of the Dupain about to enter when a white van parked near him and two man wearing masks got out and grabbed Nathaniel and dragged him to the back of the van. Nathaniel fought back but it was for no use. Once Nathaniel was in the van the two men got in and quickly drove off. Plagg saw the men taking Nathaniel from the door and he quickly went to the study.
"Help something terrible happened. Nathaniel was walking to the house when two men wearing masks dragged him in a white van and drove off." Plagg said unsure how to deal with the situation.
Mari quickly stood up. "We need to tell Detective Kurtzberg about what happened we need to find him. If something happens to Nath-"
"Mari calm down don't worry everything will be fine." Adrien stated. "I know Nathaniel's father we need to stay calm so we can solve this problem." Adrien grabed his phone and dailed Detective Kurtzberg's number. "Detective Kurtzberg it's me... No Nathaniel isn't here that's why I'm calling you. It seems like Nathaniel was kidnapped...it seems like everything happened in the frount of the gate. Plagg saw two men dragging Nathaniel against his will instide a van...alright see you soon." Adrien hanged up.
"Plagg did you see how the men looked like?" Tom asked.
"No like I said they were wearing masks." Plagg replied.
Soon Detective Kurtsberg arrived and his phone rang it was from Nathaniel's phone but it wasn't him it was one of the kidnappers asking for a huge amount of money. Detective Kurtzberg was unstable so Adrien took the phone. "Hello who is it?"
"You heard what we want Dr. Agreste you better give it to us or else the blind boy dies." A deep voice said and Adrien regonized it.
"Mathew is that you?" Adrien asked before the line was cut. "His voice was deep but it has to be Mathew."
"Felix Mathew is Ruby's ex husband how do you know about him?" Mari asked.
Edward and Roxie found out that there was a treatment that could help Eddie so there was still hope for him.
"I met a Mathew in the United States and the voice seemed similar to me." Adrien replied.
"They are asking me for a huge amount of money but I don't have it and if I don't give it to them than they'll kill Nathaniel." Detective Kurtzberg replied.
"Don't worry we'll help you pay for it." Tom replied.
"Do that and I'll take the bandages of right now." Mari said and everyone glanced at each other. "Once I have my bandages off Felix can turn in the rescue. Felix I trust you and just like how I put my life in your hands I'm begging you to do the same for my best friend Nathaniel."
"Thank you Mari you have no Idea how grateful I am for everything you're doing for my son." Detective Kurtzberg stated. "I promise that slowly I'll pay you back for the money you're offering."
"You don't have to pay us back Nathaniel is my best friend more than that he's like my brother." Mari replied.
Soon Detective Kurtzberg left and everyone went to the study so Adrien could take Mari's bandages off.
Who kidnapped Nathaniel was Roland and Mathew though Roland was the one who planed everything. Nathaniel was taken to an abandoned cabin in a country yard like field and as Roland and Mathew talked Roland's voice seemed very familiar to Nathaniel he just couldn't remember why.
Everyone was near Mari's side to support her even Ana Ruby and Marc who arived just in time and Adrienne was by her side since Mari wanted to see her first. Adrien slowly took the bandages of before standing behind her. "Mari open your eyes and tell me if you can see anything."
Mari slowly opened her eyes and looked around. "I only see blury and nothing is clear. Does that mean that the operation didn't work?"
"Mari do you see light or shadows?" Adrien asked.
"Yes both of them." Mari replied.
"Well that's normal. Your eyes were in darkness for a long time so now it's not strange that you see shadows and light." Adrien stated. "Mari you got your sight back."
Everyone cheered and Adrien did some tests on Mari so her sight could forcus better. Soon Adrienne stood in front of Mari. "Mommy."
Mari looked at her being able to see more clearly. Adrienne was only one when Mari lost her sight and now she was almost three. "Adrienne." Mari hugged her overjoyed. "Now it's your turn Felix I want to see you."
Maya was playing with Emilie in the secret garden little did she know that Emilie had something to tell her. "I need to talk to you Maya. You are growing up and with each day that passes you're needing my advice less and less. I'm going to stop coming because God has a new job for me in heaven."
Maya starts to tear up. "But I like when you tell me stories and play with me."
"Nothing is forever dear." Emilie said softly. "Big girls like you don't have to dream so much and they need to face reality."
"I understand but I will still see you because you live in my heart and you always will." Maya said in tears. "Just promise me that you'll say goodbye before you leave."
"Of course dear after all you're my angel." Emilie replied.
It was the moment of the truth. Adrien slowly walked in front of Mari and Mari took his hand standing up and she started to look at him from his feet and going up. When she reached his face Mari let go of his hand and took a step back. "No. Adrien it's you... Leave Adrien leave my house now." Mari said harshly.
"Angel let me explain -" Adrien started.
"Don't you dare call me angel because I'm not your angel I'm nothing to you." Mari said sternly. "You have nothing to explain to me. All I needed to know I now know. You all lied to me." Fu tried to touch her arm but she moved away.
"Mari what we did was us thinking what was best for you." Ruby stated.
"How could you say that? You all lied to me. Fu Ruby Marc Jake Mrs. Audrey and even Mrs. Sabine and Mr. Tom." Mari said in a disappointing tone. "Only parents who really care about their daughter can be called mom and dad by her and you all lied to me."
Mari grabed Adrienne in her arms and left the room. Adrienne looked back at Adrien in tears. "Daddy."
Mari stopped and looked at her before looking back at the group. "How is it possible that she cares about you like that Adrien. She knew that you were her dad but she acts as if she has been with you before."
"She has ever since I came back to Paris I spent a lot of time with her." Adrien replied.
"Great more lies." With that Mari left to her room and locked herself inside.
The next day Mari left the house with Adrienne and went to the neighborhood. The first stop was the church. Father Carlos saw her sitting down on a bench so he sat next to her. "Marinette you got your sight back."
Mari smiled and hugged him. "Yes I did but right now I'm upset and mad. Everyone lied to me and they sided with Adrien."
"So you now know." Father Carlos stated. "You should be grateful that you got your sight back."
"No I'm not because I saw his face... Adrien's face." Mari replied. "I didn't want him in my life again."
"Marinette you were not the type to have hatred in her heart you were always caring and understanding." Father Carlos stated. "It's not right to be unable to forgive."
"It's not right to lie either and that's what everyone did." Mari replied.
"It was for your own good Marinette." Father Carlos stated. "Tell me something would you let yourself be operated if you knew that Dr. Noir and Dr. Agreste were the same person?"
"No I wouldn't let him be near me." Mari replied.
"See so understand that it was for your own good. Thanks to that man who loves you even though you don't want to admit it you got your sight back." Father Carlos stated.
"I don't know what to do anymore." Mari said tearing up. "I can only trust in Nathaniel since I know that he was forced to stay quiet but I can't relay on him because he was kidnapped."
Later Mari went to her old apartment complex and she saw flashbacks of her life when she lived there and in tears she smiled softly.
