Seraphina immediately tried chasing Renee away.Stefan, who was silent the entire time, furrowed his brows as he spoke frostily. "You got injured the same day I did?""Uhm…" Renee froze, her expression stiff.'Shit, I misspoke.'"How did you get hurt?" The man continued questioning."I… I tripped and fell by accident." Renee came up with a simple excuse and rushed out of the room.She actually didn't intend for him to notice her. She wanted to do as promised. She acted like she was mute and only took care of him quietly. She only wanted to see him recover fully and leave with no regrets.However, she knew that it would now be difficult for her to hide away, especially with her previous mess up…"She left?" Stefan seemed rather disappointed."What? Did you not want to leave? And you just said you love me so much you wanted to marry me right away!" Seraphina huffed out of jealousy, feeling quite anxious.She then wrapped her arms around the man's neck and voluntarily kissed him
Renee stayed quiet, not uttering a word the whole time. However, this only piqued the man's interest further."Is your identity classified? Why won't you even tell me your name?" Stefan continued questioning, persistent to get an answer.Renee bit down on her lips. After a few moments of hesitation, she replied clearly, "No, not classified. My name is Renee Everheart. Do you know me, Mr. Hunt?""How could you go back on your word, Renee Everheart!" Seraphina shoved Renee aside, visibly agitated.She felt as if Renee was about to snatch her precious toy, which gave her the urge to fight the woman right there and then."Renee Everheart…" Stefan repeated the name over and over again, trying his best to look through his memory but to no avail. His expression was cold and solemn.Renee was disappointed, but let out a sigh of relief. She responded lightly, "Don't waste your energy, Mr. Hunt. You definitely won't remember anything, we don't know each other at all. I only know of you bec
Since Renee was able to keep a safe distance from him, she left the room nonchalantly.They had to admit that Margaret's recipe was almost miraculous. Despite merely having had one cup of the tea, he noticed that his wounds were much less painful the next morning. The effects were quite obvious, as he seemed more energetic as well."Stef, have some water." Seraphina poured Stefan some warm water carefully. As she stared at the steam coming from the glass, she looked for a reaction when she asked, "Do you remember you said the other day that we could get married once you are discharged? Is that offer still available?" Feeling the warmth of the water around the glass, Stefan raised an eyebrow at her question. "Of course. Why do you ask?""You've been so distracted for the past few days! I just feel kind of insecure!" Seraphina whined softly, then started picturing their future. "I've been thinking for a while, and I think it's best we change our wedding venue.""Why? I remember you
"What? She's been discharged?" Seraphina felt a bit suspicious, torn between feeling happy and angry at her actions. "How can she just leave without saying anything?!"She should've known that this woman couldn't be trusted. They had promised to wait for Stefan to get better before leaving, but now, he was still bedridden and she had already left. She just couldn't keep her promises!"Are you Ms. Murphy?" The nurse asked cautiously."Yes, what's wrong?" Seraphina snapped at the nurse in irritation. She didn't know why, but Renee's abrupt departure made her feel uneasy. Renee wasn't the type who would give up easily, so she had to be hiding an ace up her sleeve!"I was told by Ms. Everheart to give this medicine to you. She said it works wonders, and hopes that you brew it carefully," the nurse explained, then handed over a cube of the medicine to Seraphina."For me?" Seraphina stared at the medicine in confusion, wondering what Renee was up to. She opened up the medicine, and saw
"Ahem!" Francine had entered the room and witnessed the scene before her, and her face was black as thunder. Behind her was the caretaker that she had personally picked out for Stefan.Seraphina was mad that the happy atmosphere had been interrupted, so she was about to give the intruder a piece of her mind. However, when she angrily turned around, she was pinned by Francine's sharp gaze. She jerked away from Stefan immediately and stammered, "M-Madam Francine, why are you here?"She had been feeling guilty ever since she and Jovan had secretly bribed the neurosurgeon to give Stefan that brain surgery. She'd also been feeling paranoid and suspicious of everyone."My son is in a hospital bed, and you ask me, his mother, why I'm here?" Francine demanded, her voice tight with anger. She didn't like how Seraphina had been going about this, so she started lecturing her. "You certainly have your ways, don't you? You hid the fact that my son was injured for a whole week. Do you know that
Layla expertly placed her slender fingers on Stefan's wrist, checking his pulse. After a few seconds, her delicate features wrinkled in concentration."What's wrong? Is my son's condition serious?" Francine stood beside her, feeling worried seeing Layla's expression.After around a minute, Layla finally moved her hand away, and gave a long sigh. "Mr. Hunt's pulse is very chaotic, it was weak yet as fast as a rushing river. It seems like a typical case of cerebral hemorrhage. It's like it has recently been damaged or been through trauma. The situation is dire.""Th… The brain has been damaged?" Francine looked at Stefan with a heavy heart, unable to process what her darling son had gone through.Overwhelmed with guilt, Seraphina snarled at Layla, "You immature child! How dare you say such things when medical experts just reported that Stef's body was in stable condition? Why are you scaring us with all this talk of cerebral hemorrhage? Are you cursing him?"Despite looking young, L
Layla's eyes were bright with excitement, and she was beaming as if she had just found treasure. "Whoever this is, they really are extremely skilled in their craft, even more so than my father. Where is this person? Could you please introduce me to them, Ms. Murphy?""T-This can't be…" Seraphina gulped nervously, not expecting the situation to turn out like this. 'Renee, you sneaky witch… She said she wanted to help improve our relationship, and then left us with a miraculous recipe! She just left without taking any credit!'"How could it be impossible? It must be because of the kindness that Mr. Hunt has shown people throughout his life, which means that he must have met someone who was fated to help him now. Truly, as long as Mr. Hunt drinks this medicinal tea three times, he will recover and become as healthy as a horse." Layla's eyes sparkled, as if the instructions were out of this world.Francine's expression softened, and she flashed Seraphina an appreciative smile. "Looks li
Francine's words nearly scared Seraphina to death. She gulped, trying to explain herself right away. "I-It's not like that, Madam Francine! It's just that the person who gave me this recipe has a… special identity. I don't think she should be near Stef at all…""Really?" Francine asked doubtfully. She wondered, 'The person wants to save Stef, but can't go near him. Isn't that just a contradictory statement?'Seraphina sighed deeply and glanced at Stefan. She then leaned closer to Francine and whispered the truth to her.The mother instantly understood, balling her fists as a conflicted expression appeared on her face. Finally, she said, "Whatever, this recipe came from unknown origins, so we shouldn't put too much effort into looking for that person. If that expert was just trying to reel us in with something good, then betray us later, we'd be in trouble.""You're right, Madam Francine. I was worried that this person might plot against us, so I didn't dare to use the medicinal tea
