Unexpectedly, she saw Stefan leaning against the wall outside the ward as soon as she opened the door. The incandescent lamp in the corridor hit him, casting a long shadow on the floor.Wearing a cold face, she kept quiet and was about to close the door when…"Let's have a chat."He looked up and suggested with a hoarse voice."We have nothing more to talk about.""If you thought so, you won't open the door at this hour." Renee was struck speechless.For a moment, she found it hard to give a reply.'Yeah, I tossed and turned in bed because there are too many things in my heart. I couldn't fall asleep. If I don't sort these things out, I'll be restless for a very long time.""Fine. Let's talk."After agreeing, they took the elevator to the rooftop.The rooftop had a great atmosphere. It was a cafe with an outdoor dome, where one could see the brightest stars. Renee casually sat down and looked up at the twinkling stars. She did not speak for a long time.Stefan stayed wit
Renee inevitably became nervous under his powerful and intense gaze. With a tinge of anticipation, she tried to sound him out and said, "Why do you think I treat you in a special manner?" She did not know if he had regained his memories or was purposely playing dumb here. If that was true, his acting skills could have won him an Oscar. How perfect and exceptional! "The only reason why a woman is willing to sacrifice unconditionally for a man is because she loves him too much. So, can I guess that you treat me in a special manner because you love him very much?" Instead of beating around the bush, Stefan raised the question that had been troubling him for nearly half a year.It was because the experience he had at Greenwood Sanatorium was indeed very unique. Even if he was slow, he could feel how deeply Renee cared about him.Holding that kind of doubt, he returned to the sanatorium again afterward. It was also at that time he learned that she used her blood as an ingredient fo
He was indeed very talkative and hard to fool.If she knew that he would pester her, she would never come out to chat with him, no matter what. For a moment, awkwardness engulfed them. "It's late. I'm going to rest and leave you to your thoughts."Renee forcefully pushed his hand away and got up to leave."I won't let you go if you don't make it clear." Stefan held her wrist. His voice was full of pain. "To be honest, these doubts have been troubling me for half a year. I'm going to marry my fiancee soon. If I don't make it clear, I'll feel that I've wronged her." "What do you want to know?""I want to know why I hold special feelings for you. What kind of… past did we share?" Stefan was such a smart person. Of course, his sensitivity and perception were exceptional. After his brain surgery and having his first contact with her when he woke up, he could feel a magical connection between them. Besides, a lot of people were hesitant and unwilling to talk about her. It
Just when Renee was about to speak, a soft but weak voice interrupted them."Stefan, here you are. I've been looking for you for a very long time. I even thought that something had happened to you." Seraphina was wearing a hospital gown. Her face appeared frail, and there was an IV tube injected into her body. She appeared at the entrance of the rooftop. "Seraphina, why did you come here?"Stefan furrowed his brows deeply before he hurried forward to support her. His handsome face was full of worry. "You just recovered a little. Why are you so wilful?" "No, I'm not. If you're gone, it'll no longer be important if my body is healthy or not." Seraphina coughed twice before she leaned into his arms feebly. She even acted coquettishly. "I had a nightmare just now that you were snatched by someone else. I was startled before I woke up. As expected, I didn't see you around. So, I acted instinctively and ran to the rooftop to look for you. I got so tired from walking, and I feel tha
He realized that he had gone a bit out of control tonight. It was like playing with fire. He would certainly ruin himself if he was not being careful regardless of how good his reason."Really? You gave me your word. If you see her alone again, I… I'll jump off the building here and kill myself, and you'll regret it for the rest of your life." Seraphina pointed at the dark stairs and made a joke. She sounded slightly serious. "Okay, don't be mad. Let's go back. It's too cold here. I'm afraid you'll catch a cold." After Stefan said that, he carried Seraphina in a very macho manner. They left just like that without saying another word to Renee again. They did not even uphold basic civility and bid her goodbye. Renee was at a loss for words.Looking in the direction they left, Renee was struck dumb. She did not react for a long time."Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"After that, as if she had gone completely insane, she burst into uncontrollable peals of laughter. 'How ridiculous! Ste
Stefan's tall and sturdy body was hidden behind the window. He watched the car for a very long time until it dropped out of his sight. "Stefan, what are you looking at? You're so absorbed."Seraphina flipped through the magazine in boredom. When she saw Stefan look out the window all that while quietly, she became alarmed. "A bird." Stefan replied lightly."A bird?" Seraphina found it weird. She stretched her neck out to look out of the window. "There's nothing outside. What bird?" "A bird that flew away, but I think its wings aren't that strong. It won't fly far."Stefan averted his gaze before he sipped his coffee and said with profound meaning.The bad premonition in Seraphina's heart grew stronger.It seemed that the bird he mentioned was not a simple bird. After pondering it, she pretended to ask casually, "Stefan, did you see Miss Everheart again these few days?""Didn't I tell you that I won't see her alone again?"Stefan's expression was slightly serious. "I
Seraphina maintained her calm and combined bits and pieces of some incidents before she debated right and wrong with Stefan. "Is… Is that so?"Stefan's deep-set eyes flickered with a mix of wrath, unwillingness, hatred, and doubt. This truth vastly differed from the truth he had imagined. For a moment, he couldn't accept it. "If you trust me, this is the truth. If you don't, you can ask her about it."Seraphina stated with absolute certainty.Her statement was flawless. Even she was almost convinced of its truth, let alone Stefan. Besides, she had Francine as a witness who confirmed those things."That'll be unnecessary…"Stefan slowly clenched his fingers and said coldly, "She had long admitted to it, but I was just unwilling to believe her."He stubbornly thought that there must be some secrets in it. Why would such a wicked woman take her blood to use as an ingredient for his medicine? Now, it seemed the truth was just that simple. She simply tried to atone for her s
The car stopped before an antique shop.Renee wanted to push Jovan into the shop, but she was turned down."Wait for me in the car. The driver can push me into the shop." He did not want to expose the surprise he prepared for her in advance, or all his efforts would be futile. "Okay, I would like to see what kind of trick you will pull."With deep curiosity, Renee watched the driver push Jovan into the antique shop.She leaned against the back seat in slight boredom. When she checked the time, it was coincidentally afternoon at Beach City. The two children might have gone home from school by now, so she gave her brother a video call. His brother always answered her calls within seconds. But strangely, today, he did not answer her calls at all. She tried repeatedly, but it yielded the same result."What's the matter?" A crease soon formed between her brows as a bad premonition overwhelmed her. She immediately called Margaret, and the latter picked it up just as quickly.
