Chapter 1072

Author: Mizuki Sei
His gloomy eyes lit up like a lighthouse at night, as if her words had sparked a flame of hope in his soul. Elated, he asked her eagerly, "Does that mean that you can't bear to see me dead?"

"That's irrelevant." Renee huffed impatiently. "I just want to know what you want in return if I beg you to let Stefan go."

"Well, it isn't a price, but rather, a choice you have to make." Jovan took a deep breath. It was rare to see such calmness and rationality on his handsome face. "If you're willing to live an isolated life with me, I'll give Hunt Enterprise up. I'll even stop meddling in all those disputes and fights."

"That's it? I just have to go with you?" Renee asked in bewilderment. She thought that he would make an outrageous request such as serving him or something like that, and had been prepared to slap and scold him for being a pervert.

Surprisingly... all he wanted was that.

"That's right. That's all I want." Jovan closed his eyes, longing clear on his face. "We'll find a sec

    "What's your request?" Jovan was in a good mood as he stared at Renee with bright eyes. He thought excitedly, 'Yes! She promised me! She agreed to it!'He felt like he had finally gained victory after eighteen years of fighting; it was an indescribable feeling. He was more than willing to grant her wish—he would give her the moon if she asked him to. "I can go with you, but I have to be with Stefan until he's fully recovered and can see again," she explained firmly. That was her original plan—it would not change because of anything. Jovan's gaze instantly dulled, and he scoffed, "Hmph! How are you going to do that? Do you want to use your blood to heal him again? You're so weak that you can't even stand, how much blood do you even have to give?" "How... How do you know?" Surprise flashed in her eyes. She had never told him anything about the medicine. "Your body is weak, and there are bloody wounds on both of your wrists. Other than my dear blind cousin, any sensible person wo

    Meanwhile, Margaret was brewing medicine for Renee in the room. She was frowning deeply as she murmured, "Sir, Madam, please watch over Ms. Ren so she'll be safe and sound. It's my fault that I made such a useless prescription… I made her suffer a lot!" As she watched the fire for the medicine, she was engulfed with deep remorse. The prescription that her old father, whom she had cut off all ties with, created was indeed miraculously effective. However, its side effects were pretty strong. During the three days that Ms. Ren was unconscious, the ingredient that she prepared for Stefan had been used up. Consequently, his condition grew worse, and he could not even get out of bed now. Margaret came up with a lot of methods, but they were all futile. She could not pinpoint the reason either. However, she did not dare to inform Renee about this. If not, she would make a big scene. "Margaret!" Renee snuck up behind Margaret and tried to spook her. When Margaret turned around, Renee gri

    When Renee arrived at the west wing, she heard the sound of glass breaking from a room nearby. "Get lost! I don't need your pity!" Someone roared, and soon, two nurses came running out of the room, sobbing pitifully."What's the matter?" Renee asked them. "Ms. Everheart, you're awake? That's wonderful..." The nurses looked at her like she was their saviour, and immediately begged her, "Please go and advise Mr. Hunt. His current condition isn't very good, but he's refusing to eat or drink. He even prohibited us from taking care of him and drove us out. If this continues, I'm afraid he'll die of thirst or hunger.""He doesn't eat or drink?" Renee frowned, and thought wearily, 'Why is he throwing a tantrum like a child?' She told the two nurses, "Okay, you can go now. Leave this to me." "Thank you very much, Ms. Everheart. Please be careful. Mr. Hunt has been in a bad mood lately." The young women told Renee gratefully. Renee walked past a spacious and comfortable garden befo

    Stefan had always had a great sense of propriety. Even if it was Seraphina, the person he trusted the most, he would feel uncomfortable when she touched his face or hair. Naturally, he disliked those female nurses who took care of him. "Is that so? Why do I feel you like my touch? Be good... There, there." Her lips curved into a cheeky smile as she rubbed his hair and pinched his cheeks as if trying to provoke a sleeping beast.She thought he would be outraged, but he just said calmly, "It's very strange, but you're the only exception."Renee was speechless."So… the person who takes care of me has to be you," Stefan declared arrogantly.Amazement dawned on her, and she couldn't speak."What's wrong? Are you unwilling?" "No, I'm just curious. Did you recall something?" Renee could feel him getting closer and closer to her, and she wondered if he remembered her. If not, why was she special to him? "Should I recall anything?" Stefan asked in return.After a brief silence, Re

    Stefan's masculine features were almost perfect, with deep-set eyes and thick eyelashes. The morning sunlight shone in through the window, producing mottled shadows on his alabaster cheeks. Further down were Stefan's lips. They were always set in a frown, but she found them very kissable and tempting. His neck was slender, and gave way to an Adam's apple that seemed to move slightly as she approached. It was extremely sexy. He was indeed very handsome. Still holding the razor, Renee stared at him as if she was a starving dog who had found a bone. "What's the matter?" Stefan frowned slightly and asked her in confusion. He had sharp hearing, so he had noticed her rapid breathing. When he noticed she hadn't started yet, he thought something was wrong. For example, maybe he did not have his shirt or... pants on. He immediately reached out to pat his body, and found that he was indeed wearing clothes.So, why was she nervous?As he moved his hands back, he accidentally touched

    His defined chest was soon revealed. There was no fat on it at all, and it was broad and muscular. Renee inhaled deeply, and eagerly continued unbuttoning his shirt. His abs were about to be exposed. However, before she could see them, Stefan grabbed her hands. His face was flushed as he demanded, "What are you doing?"He felt like she was taking advantage of him. Damn it, this woman wanted to violate him! Shocked, Renee said with a stupefied expression, "Ah! I... Didn't you ask me to start? Are you shy?" She knew for a fact that the more handsome a man was, the more likely that he would be shy. After all, many women yearned to take advantage of such men. "I asked you to shave my beard, not take off my clothes..." He said amusedly, then leaned closer to her. "I'm curious though… What were you going to do after taking off my clothes?""Ah? So, you want me to do that?" Renee felt so awkward that she wanted the ground to open up and swallow her. She cursed inwardly, 'Renee,

    Renee couldn't say a word, and didn't dare to move as she stared at Stefan in shock. The thing they had was more than that. They had been deeply and passionately in love with each other. However, she could not bring herself to tell him the truth.What a dilemma! She was afraid of him forgetting her, but at the same time, she was worried that he might recall who she was. At that moment, the door opened, and a man's voice said sarcastically, "Yes, she's in love with a member of the Hunt family, but that person is me… not you." Jovan walked into the room, an irritated expression on his face. Renee felt awkward, and quickly pushed away Stefan's hands, putting some distance between them. Stefan immediately saw that behaviour as guilt at being caught. It also proved that Jovan was not lying. "So, you're saying that you guys are a couple?" Stefan's eyes turned cold as he asked gloomily. "Stefan, you're so smart. You guessed right..." Jovan slowly walked to Renee and hugged her

    Not only did he not go berserk, but he was so calm, enthusiastic, and positive that it felt like Jovan's words did not affect him at all. It was unbelievable. "Okay, I... I'll go and get your clothes," Renee said, unable to hold back her tears. Even though he had gone through much, he was still so strong!Jovan's expression turned livid as he observed Stefan coldly. 'That's impossible! This is Stefan we're talking about. He's always so arrogant, but now, he's calm even after being humiliated.' Jovan felt the most humiliated now. 'No, Stefan must have hidden his true emotions. I have to make him lose his temper somehow!' "Why aren't you washing the socks?" Renee took out a suit of clean clothes from the wardrobe to help Stefan change into them. Her expression turned scornful when she saw Jovan standing there without any intention to move. However, Jovan stood between Renee and Stefan as he said, "Stefan, I told you she's my girlfriend. Isn't it inappropriate to ask your cousi

    "I don't know how to tell you. I'm sure you can understand." Renee could not bring herself to say more because it was a humiliating privacy. She might as well keep it to herself."Let me guess…" Justin's gaze grew sharp as he went straight to the point. "The man in your story is Stefan, isn't it?" Silence washed over Renee as she kept her head bowed. It was a silent approval.Justin burst into reckless laughter, which was scary. He looked down at his cut wound and laughed pathetically. "This is why he could make you fall in love with him, and I couldn't. I'm too cultured compared to him.""Don't say that, Haze!"Seeing how defeated Justin was, Renee became uneasy. "It isn't written in the stars for us. Plus, I've fallen in love with Stefan a long time ago before I even got to know you. I also rely on him physically and psychologically. I can't control my feelings. It's not something we can change. We…" "Stop!" Heartbroken, Justin pushed away everything in front of him and s

    Time passed by. Gradually, the pain knocked some sense into Justin. He no longer wanted to take advantage of Renee."Let me get you some water." Renee had no idea what she could do for Justin. After some contemplation, she got to her feet and poured him a glass of water.Finally, she studied the room closely and found that it was a wedding room as Justin had mentioned. Everything was set up according to her preferences, which she had occasionally mentioned to Justin. For example, she loved keeping some ceramic ornaments on the bedside cabinet and hanging some seashell wind chimes at the windows. The entire room was painted in beige and green, which were her favorites, too. Beige gave a sense of warmth, while green gave a sense of gloominess. All of those details became the perfect wedding room for Renee.If everything went on smoothly, she would spend most of her time there, and he would be her life companion. Unfortunately, there were no ifs in the world.Renee handed the gla

    Renee covered her lips, her tone filled with disbelief. "I…cut myself." Justin leaned against the corner and frowned deeply. He was in deep pain."Why did you cut yourself?" Renee was scared out of her wits and grew more sober. In her panic, she threw herself at him and tried to stop his bleeding.Justin reacted aggressively as he waved his dagger and warned fiercely, "Get away from me! Don't touch me!" "I…" Renee paused, too afraid to act recklessly. She pointed at his wound and said, "I'm just worried about you. You're bleeding. It must hurt a lot. Why did you hurt yourself?" "It's better to be in pain!" Justin gnashed his teeth and said in agony, "The pain will knock some sense into me, so I won't act like an animal and lose control of myself.""I see…" Stunned, Renee was moved to tears. She understood why he cut himself. Surprisingly, he wanted to stay sober and not be controlled by the drug in the wine.He could have used her to satisfy his desire, and she would never b

    "You're playing with fire!" Justin leaned close to Renee's ears and said fiercely, "What do you think there is in the wine? Maybe I'm not someone who will take liberty on women, but I can't promise that the wine won't make me so." "So, you're saying that the wine…" Suddenly, Renee realized the wine was not as simple as she thought. She also understood why Rose had behaved in such a mysterious manner. "Stay…away from me!" Suddenly, she became frightened and wanted to keep some distance from Justin. She knew that people could not be trusted completely, especially under the effects of chemical reactions. Things would certainly get out of control. Justin probably did not want to do anything to her, but both of them would lose their minds under the effect of the wine and do something that would fill them with regret. The only way to prevent such an incident was to avoid each other."You want to stay away from me, but it's too late now. I'm no saint. I'm just a normal guy!"Just

    "I'm so thirsty!" The burning sensation of the wine made Renee thirsty. She wanted to drink some water.In the dark, she heard some rustling. The next second, something was on her lips. It seemed to be someone else's lips. She wondered if someone had secretly kissed her."Who are you?" Renee grabbed the person in front of her and interrogated angrily, "How dare you kiss me without my permission! Do you know who I am? I'll cut off your lips!""Let's see if you can do that or not." The man sounded dull and drunk, but he was also overbearing.Although Renee was drunk, she could discern who it was. She called out in the dark and tried to confirm her doubt. "Haze…?" "Yeah, it's me," Justin admitted, but he did not plan to let her go. He used a more overbearing manner and trapped her between him and the door."What do you want?" Renee panicked. She wanted to kick him away, but she did not resist when she learned that it was Justin. After she had done so many things to hurt him, s

    The servant walked forward with trepidation and helped Justin back to his room. Austin's eyes were dark. He whispered to his assistant, who nodded and immediately carried out his order.After two glasses of strong wine, Renee felt dizzy and could not stand steadily. "It's weird. Is this wine this strong? I just had two glasses of it, but I feel quite dizzy." It was hard for her to exit the hall. She could not stand properly, so she supported herself against the wall."Ms. Everheart, you didn't seem well. Let me help you to get some rest." Austin's assistant caught up to her and stood behind her. He even sounded respectful. "It's… fine. I can go back to my room." Renee waved; she didn't want to trouble others. Besides, she did not want others to see how miserable she was. She had assumed that she was good at drinking and would not get drunk, but it seemed like she had overestimated herself. After two glasses of wine, she became quite drowsy. She would not easily leave if s

    Renee blinked and smiled brightly at Justin, asking him, "Are you worried about me?" "No, I'm not worried about you!" Justin said angrily. "I don't want you to get killed here. I can't explain it to your brother and kids. It's hard to handle the three of them."He was not lying. Although he had befriended Quinton, Adie and Abby might make a scene there if they realized that Renee had drunk so much wine at the party. They were witty, always full of ideas.Hence, it was better not to cause trouble. Before they could make a scene and things get out of control, Justin must stop Renee. He wasn't worried about her at all. "So, you're not worried about me?" Renee's gaze turned dull as she sighed. "It looks like you didn't forgive me. So, I must drink this glass of wine." Something was wrong with Renee, or perhaps she just wanted to torture herself. It seemed like she insisted on drinking the wine. She swung off Justin's hand and gulped down the wine."You're out of your mind!" Justi

    The aged white wine was strong. Ordinary people would find it hard to drink a glass of it. Yet, Renee had drunk two glasses of it consecutively. It was a little dangerous. Everyone at the dining table was initially watching the fun, but they showed Renee some pity after she drank two glasses of wine consecutively. After wiping her lips clean, Renee staggered and said to Justin, "Let me toast to you now. I've wronged you the most." Justin, sitting there, said with a poker face, "You don't have to say sorry to me. We don't hold each other any grudge. After all, we can't make others fall in love with us.""No, I must apologize to you. It's for my sake." After that, Renee used a bigger glass and filled it with wine."Whatever!" Justin frowned and ignored Renee. He had no idea what was wrong with her. He had yielded and let her off, but she stubbornly wanted to keep drinking the wine.He wondered if she had forgotten the fact that she had just recovered from a serious illness. She

    Suddenly, Justin became mature and stopped making jokes. He talked steadily and was no longer emotional. It filled Austin with worry because it made him feel like Justin was an emotionless robot.In comparison, he liked Justin's previous self better. At that time, Justin was simple and sentimental. He was the grandson Austin doted on the most.Sophia grinned and commented, "Dad, you don't have to worry about Justin. Men will change. Previously, he was just a childish kid even though he was in his twenties. He didn't know how to see through people's pretense. But he's all grown up now. He knows what's right or wrong. That's a great thing!" As a mother, she naturally did not want her son to get hurt. Although she favored Renee and wanted the latter to be her daughter-in-law, she would give up since Renee had let her son down and harmed him. All she wanted was to see Renee get away from her son."Yes, you're right. People need to grow up. He has grown up a lot lately, but the price
