The doctor took a moment then smiled gently, "She will be fine, it will just take some time." He went to Clara who was trying to find the doctor and Jones in her darkness, "Clara, you have temporary blindness caused by a head injury. From what we can tell, in a few weeks, you will regain full eyesight. Until then, as you can tell, things probably look like you're in a dark room. There are shapes and shadows, but no definition." Clara nodded, but held her hand out for Jones, unable to help the tears that were spilling from her eyes, "But what if it doesn't come back?" She whispered, the doctor shook his head, "That is a very, very slim chance that you will remain blind, but it is almost non-existent."

Jones grasped her hand, holding it tightly to show he was there. He was relieved, yet felt guilt of what happened. "It'll be fine, Clara... Thank you, doctor." He said with a small smile and nod. "When will she be able to leave... With assistance?" He asked.
"She will be discharged in about an hour, and so will you," He tapped Jones on the shoulder with his clipboard as he walked out. Clara turned her head to face Jones, "I want to see your face," She couldn't help but sob, scared of the dark surrounding her, "What will Papa do? I know he will retaliate."

Jones took her face into both hands, rubbing his thumbs gently on the side . " you will be fine. Your father will understand... My face will still be here in a couple of weeks. And I will make sure it's the first thing you see." He lightly kissed her lips, still holding her head as he did so.
The kiss made her feel so much better, and the knowledge that she was going home soon was a small comfort. Pulling back she asked with a blush, "This is embarrassing but, I need help changing..."

Jones raised his eyebrows, curiosity twinkling in his eyes "please tell me this is only allowed to the Jones Brado Bodyguard members..." He asked jokingly, running his hands from her head down her body.
"It had better only be for the JBB." She said, sitting up. She blushed then just said it, "No man has ever seen this," Clara admitted, "So relish the moment as you're the first."

Jones smiled, feeling completely happy as she truly was the only man she has probably loved. And he loved that. He walked over to get her newly done clothes on a table, walked back over to her, and coughed a bit. "Alright, I'll need your help... Don't want anyone who walks in to get the wrong idea." He said with a laugh
Clara stood, using the bed for support, then turned so she was facing away from Jones, "Pass me the bra and panties, please?" She held her hand out to him, "Then when that's done the pants."

He did what she asked, not venturing to see what she was hiding, although he would be lying if he said that thought didn't cross his mind. He handed her her bra, then panties, then pants, helping her if she had trouble due to the temporary blindness.
