"She's just insecure. She probably thinks I'll change my mind after the surgery." Stefan watched Seraphina leave and smiled bitterly. It was Seraphina who stayed with him during those hard times. He knew he should take responsibility for that by marrying her and giving her a lifetime of happiness. Besides, he believed that he truly loved Seraphina, and the surgery would not affect his love for her. He just wanted to fill in the blanks in his mind. Raising his brows, Owen remarked thoughtfully, "All insecurities arise from a lack of self-esteem. Maybe she thinks she isn't suited for you, or maybe she didn't get in this relationship by honest means. If not, she wouldn't be so worried." "Not by honest means?" Frowning, Stefan was perplexed by Owen's explanation."It's very normal that you don't understand, but everything will come to light after the surgery. You'll know then why she's feeling this way," Owen said meaningfully. As a neurosurgeon, he was aware of the means of controlli

"She's injured?" Stefan's calm expression immediately disappeared, and he sounded agitated as he asked urgently, "When did this happen?" "Just now... She joined a competition organized by some kindergarten and fell off a high platform. It's pretty serious." Owen had watched the live broadcast of that competition out of boredom. After seeing Stefan's reaction, he became even more curious about Stefan and Renee's relationship. He smirked and said teasingly, "She's a mother with two kids, but you're interested in her. You both must have a very interesting story… Maybe you're the father of her kids.""Nonsense," Stefan scoffed arrogantly, "I'm not so vulgar to have kids with a frivolous woman like her."The corners of Owen's lips curved upwards into a knowing smile. "Didn't you lose your memory? How would you know? Did you ask your family about it?" "No, I didn't," Stefan argued stubbornly. "My family would have brought the kids home if they were related to me instead of not mention

Renee had indeed sprained her waist, and was quickly rushed to the orthopedics department, which happened to be on the same floor where Stefan was warded.After ages of wandering around, Stefan was right back where he started.At that moment, a lot of Renee's relatives and friends had gathered in the ward, including Leia and Justin. All of them rushed there when they heard the news.Hence, Stefan could not get close to Renee. He wasn't thick-skinned enough to approach her under such circumstances.When a nurse came out of the ward, Stefan gave Elijah a meaningful look, and Elijah immediately understood.Elijah went up to the nurse and pulled her to a corner. "Miss, I would like to ask you something. How is the patient in that ward?" The nurse looked at them cautiously. "Who are you two? Are you her family? If you're not, I can't tell you anything because our patients' information is strictly confidential.""Yes, we're her family. Mr. Hunt here is the patient's husband," Elijah

Stefan scoffed. "I'm not a baby. I'll be fine.""You…! You've only recovered a little, but you're acting to smug. Why can't you see sense?" Francine wiped away her tears helplessly.Elijah chimed in, "Madam Hunt, blame me. Don't blame Mr. Hunt...""For what?" Francine looked at Elijah in confusion."I didn't investigate the situation well enough. Mr. Hunt wanted to see Miss Everheart but she's actually here on the same floor as him... He went out for nothing," Elijah admitted sincerely. His confession earned him a cold glare from Stefan. "Don't make me send you to North Zambawi for that mining project." Stefan's threat made Elijah bow his head. "Mr. Hunt, please forgive me." "Okay, my head hurts. Just leave me alone." Stefan changed out of his casual clothes and flopped back onto the hospital bed unconcernedly. He thought he could move on, but his mind was full of his memories with Renee...Francine heaved a long sigh after leaving the ward with Elijah. "What an ill-fated de

Lying in bed, Renee could feel a dull ache around her waist but it didn't affect her much. Both Leia and Justin exchanged hesitant glances when she said that, and Renee immediately picked up on it. "Don't tell me I'm really paralyzed?" "Stop saying such unlucky things!" Quinton grumbled and clenched his fists. "I'll get the best doctors in the world to cure you, there'll be no risks.""Calm down, I'm not that weak. Even if I'm really paralyzed, you guys can just let me go," Renee laughed and said indifferently. She felt that it was better to die instead of living like a useless person. "I don't want that, Ren! I don't want to see you suffer… You have to get better, okay?" Leia started crying again as she spoke.Sighing, Renee said, "Okay. Could you all please leave? I want to sleep." She hadn't been too bothered when she arrived at the hospital, but all the people who came to see her kept crying as if she was going to die tomorrow. "Okay, let's leave and let her rest." Quinton

"What do you think I'll do?" Stefan crossed his legs and leaned back in his chair, smiling wickedly."How would I know..." Renee tried to get her phone and warned him coldly, "Get out now or I'll call somebody." "Give up. You can't reach anybody at this time because I've stopped them all." Stefan laughed at Renee's naivety. Of course, he would have ways to stop others from coming since he had come to Renee's ward at this hour. "Yeah, you're right." Renee put her phone down and laid back on the bed with a sigh, then closed her eyes. "Go ahead if you want to take revenge. You can break my neck, and I won't even be able to stop you." Stefan frowned unhappily and scoffed, "Do you really think I'm that wicked?""No, I didn't say you're wicked..." Realizing he meant her no harm, Renee opened her eyes and glanced at him. "But we all know how vindictive you are, and you'll never allow yourself to suffer any losses. It's only fair for you to want to break my neck.""Oh, so being fair i

Renee held the bedsheet tightly and purposely criticized him to make him regain his wits because she was afraid that he would take liberties with her.Unfortunately, Stefan's wits helped him see through her trick. He murmured teasingly, "You've got me all wrong. I'm not a gentleman, and I am petty enough to use any means necessary to get what I want. I'd be a fool if I didn't enjoy the grand feast laid out before me." After that, he purposely slid his fingers across her collarbone and unbuttoned the first button of her hospital gown. More of her skin was exposed, and Stefan's gaze darkened with desire. "Stefan, I'll never forgive you if you don't stop this right now!" Renee exclaimed, her voice high-pitched with panic. "Weren't we a couple in the past? Although I seem to have forgotten everything about you, we must have been intimate given our relationship. Don't you think you're overreacting?" Stefan said casually, offering her a lazy smirk."So what if we were once a couple? Do

The atmosphere in the silent ward became tense, and after a while, Stefan finally bit out, "I've got to hand it to you—you had two kids secretly. I'm definitely a failure compared to you." "Thank you for your praise. You should hurry up and marry Miss Murphy so you can have lots of kids and catch up with me." Renee didn't care if he misunderstood her because she wanted to cut him out of her life. "I don't want kids," Stefan said icily."Why? Haven't you had enough fun already? Are you worried that you'll be bound by the kids?" Renee glanced at him while sighing. "Don't have kids if you don't want to—they're a big responsibility. You need to love them wholeheartedly and give up a lot for them, which might be tough for a self-centered person like you who likes their freedom. Your kids will suffer if that happens."As an experienced person, she was well aware of what a child meant to an adult. An adult had to sacrifice a lot to raise a child, and they had to shower the child with se

Liam felt that his situation at the fort was almost the same as Renee's current situation. He had thought that the marriage was just for show. If he was unhappy, he could get a divorce. Even then, things were not that easy when he wanted to get out of that mess. If Amber had not protected him, Benjamin would have long gotten him killed. He knew better than anyone else how unfair it was for the other party when one tolerated and went through with the marriage.Amber was naive and was willing to be treated unfairly, but Justin was no fool. He would not be able to take it if it lasted for a long time. It was easy to imagine what Renee would face when Justin stopped taking her side."Let's go! I'm not afraid. You don't have to be afraid, either." Liam made up his mind to support Renee, who was standing behind him.Renee bit her lips and started to waver; not because she did not want to be with Justin, but simply because she was not confident in herself. She was afraid she would neve

"Liam, what are you doing?" Leia looked at Liam, unable to understand his sudden excitement."I'm going to meet Austin or Justin. I want them to cancel this engagement ceremony." Liam held Renee's wrist and tried to drag her out of the suite.He was certain Renee didn't want to marry Justin, so it was very likely that she would regret it in the future. It would be hard to settle if she regretted it after the engagement party. Liam felt that he had to try his best to put everything under control while he still could. Feeling helpless, Leia complained, "Stop making a scene… This is Ren's marriage. You can't make all this fuss!""You don't know. I'm doing this for her. I want the best for her." Liam knew the consequences of resisting Austin, given the man's position. He was also ready to be punished by them. Even though he would be beaten up vigorously, he would not hesitate as long as he could stop the ceremony and help Renee avoid such risks. "If you want the best for her, just

Leia felt so awkward that she wanted to run away. "Hey, can you stop flattering yourself? You haven't settled your messy romance, so please don't get Ren involved. You shouldn't joke like that!"Similarly, Liam found his joke impudent and admitted to his mistake. "Yeah, I was wrong. Don't take my joke seriously."Both Renee and Leia were amused. It helped relieve their tension. "But have you thought it through? After this ceremony, you'll be a part of the Baldwin family. You can't regret it by then," Liam said; he was worried about Renee. Everyone knew the Baldwin family's style. They had such a grand ceremony today. If anything went wrong, the Everheart family might be ruined for the second time. Although nobody knew who would win the battle, the trouble could be avoided. Liam was clueless as to why Renee wanted to take such a risk."Yes, I have." Renee nodded and added firmly, "I'd thought it through the moment I boarded the plane with Justin to fly here."It was the last c

Renee was done getting ready. As her closest friend, Leia came to North City with Liam immediately.The engagement ceremony was held in a magnificent hall of a top hotel. The guests arrived one by one and chatted among themselves. It was a luxurious and grand scene. "Ren, I'm sorry I'm late!" Leia arrived at the hotel suite where Renee was waiting. She put her hands together to express her apology. "It's Liam's fault! He was out of his mind and insisted on not coming here, but I forced him to and took some time. Please don't be mad at me!""Silly, I won't be mad at you. Plus, this ceremony doesn't carry much meaning. The Baldwin family just needs this as an assurance. It doesn't matter even if you're absent."Renee looked indifferent and was not at all happy and eager like a bride-to-be. The engagement ceremony was held to announce to the world about the relationship between her and Renee. In all honesty, Renee was resistant to it. She did not want her family or friends to at

Margaret decided to be frank since Renee had said so. "I can tell that you don't sincerely love Mr. Baldwin. Your marriage is just a way to avoid reality. Why are you so harsh on yourself if that's the case? Now, you're making such a big fuss about moving here. If you fail to get along with him and have to return to Beach City in the future, many people will gossip about you. They'll say nasty things about you. Why do you have to put yourself in such a condition?""Margaret, you don't understand…" Renee looked at herself in the mirror. She looked very charming, like a bride in ancient paintings. Everyone would be charmed by her—including herself. She knew very well that she was the one taking the lead in her romance with Justin. They could go on forever as long as she didn't end it. She was just afraid she could not hold on and wanted to stop, and the only reason that she wanted to stop was probably because of Stefan. "If I stay in Beach City, I'll come across Stefan. I know t

Time passed by. It was soon the day for the engagement ceremony between Justin and Renee.The Baldwin family held a grand ceremony while adhering to tradition. It was both traditional and romantic.Renee put on a red slim-fit silk gown with intricate black and gold embroidery. Her long hair was delicately pinned up, showing off her fair and slender neck. She looked elegant."How pretty!" Margaret stood in front of the vanity table and looked at Renee, whose face was dolled with exquisite makeup. She looked gratified, as though she were looking at her daughter."If your parents saw how pretty and elegant you were, they would be very happy." Margaret gently placed her hands on Renee's shoulders and commented, "You married Mr. Hunt when I wasn't around. You must have suffered a lot. But things will get better now… I'll stay with you and protect you forever. I'll be your strongest support."Back then, Renee was left alone when her family was ruined. She married Stefan without anyo

Alexander and Francine were already old. It was fine even if others criticized them or took violent revenge on them. But they were worried that the younger generation, especially Adie and Abby, would have a hard time handling it."You're right. I wasn't thinking straight…" Francine became teary and sobbed. "I just wanted to relieve my guilt and failed to consider the kids. We brought this upon ourselves. I'll probably have to suffer this pain for the rest of my life.""Stop thinking about that. It's all over. It's useless to regret or dwell on it." Alexander walked over and hugged her shoulders. He whispered some consoling words, "No one can tell who was right or wrong about that affair. We're already punished. Just act like everything is gone…"Is it? You're just trying to make yourself feel better." Francine leaned against Alexander's shoulders, full of melancholy. "Don't you think the kids are suffering the consequences of our actions? They love and understand each other bu

"No, I'm not going to snatch away the bride." Stefan put his fork down and stood up. He added calmly, "Plus, I'm going to give them a huge wedding gift."Flabbergasted and shocked, Francine's face stiffened. "I'm full. Just enjoy your meal." Stefan went past Francine and headed upstairs to his room. Francine and Alexander watched Stefan's upright but desolate back for a long time, unable to snap back to reality."Alexander, is there something wrong with him? Should we get an exorcist? He's acting weird!"Francine could not accept to see Stefan that generous all of a sudden. His woman was snatched away, but he wasn't angry at all. Instead, he wanted to buy the couple a big wedding gift. She couldn't come up with any other possibility except that Stefan was crazy or possessed. "I can understand him." Suddenly, Alexander became sad as if he recalled his past. He looked gloomy as he added, "Sometimes, letting go is a kind of happiness. Helping the others to be together is true l

"How could you!" For a moment, Timothy was rendered speechless. After all, his anxiety was useless since Stefan was calm. "Forget it. I'm not eating. It's annoying! I'm going upstairs." Timothy did not want to argue with Stefan since Stefan was already an adult. He could not force Stefan to do anything. Instead, he chose to get away from such annoyance to not ruin the harmony of the New Year. After he got up and left, Francine braced herself to mediate the situation."Your grandpa isn't very healthy. He should rest early. Let's eat. We should enjoy our meal happily no matter how unhappy things are." Alexander soon gave his cooperation as well when he heard that. He put some food on Stefan's plate and smiled. "Yes, we can't force things in life. Let's enjoy our meal first." "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry you guys are worried about me. Happy New Year."Stefan quietly ate and raised his wine glass, toasting to his parents. He looked normal and calm, and was warmer toward them.However,
