"But where's Dr. Wagner? There's only half an hour left until the surgery, but he's not here yet. How unprofessional!" Francine tutted disapprovingly as she glanced at her watch. Brain surgeon or not, how dare he neglect the heir of Hunt Enterprise?"Let's wait a little while longer. Dr. Wagner usually arrives right on time, and besides, he only agreed to do this surgery because of his friendship with Mr. Hunt.""Hmph! Let's see how great he is then! He'd better cure my son, or it's over for him." Francine huffed as she sat in the corridor, forcing herself to be patient.Meanwhile, Seraphina stood in an isolated area, wiping away her tears as her gaze turned cold. She fished out her phone and called an unregistered number. "Turns out they don't care about me at all, so I don't have to hesitate. Do it—I'll bear the consequences!" After a while, it was time for the surgery.Anxious from the wait, Francine demanded, "What's the matter? Isn't he going to start the surgery now? He's s
Seraphina stepped forward and hugged Francine, patting her back reassuringly. "Don't be upset, Madam Francine—this might be a good thing. Now, Stefan doesn't have to take so many risks. It's meant to be, don't you think?""I'm not sad, but I find it strange that the doctor got into an accident right before the surgery..." Francine glanced at the operating room worriedly. "Stef will be furious when he finds out, and he'll definitely look into it.""Umm..." Seraphina swallowed, her anxiety obvious. Putting both of his hands in his pockets, Elijah turned to Seraphina with a fake smile. "Didn't you want to stop the surgery earlier, Ms. Murphy? Why do you look so worried then? To be honest, I'm not sure whether you want him to have the surgery or not." "What are you trying to say, Elijah?" Seraphina glared at Elijah and snapped, "I don't care about the surgery—I just want Stefan to be safe and healthy. I'll support whatever he does as long as it helps him get better.""Really? Don't
"Good, the surgery can proceed as planned then. Where is he?" Francine asked curiously."Oh, he..." Elijah glanced at the surgery room. "He entered the room using a staff card. I think the surgery has already started.""What? It's already started?" Francine quickly put her palms together and prayed, "God, please protect him, I beg you... As long as he's safe, I'll do my best to separate him from Renee!"Elijah frowned, looking perplexed. "Madam, why do you want to break up the couple after you agreed to the surgery? Didn't you say that you wouldn't meddle in his life anymore, and you'll let him make his own decisions?" "I did say that, but a fortune teller told me that they're incompatible, and they'll be in serious trouble if they get together. So, I've got to be the villain here to keep them safe," Francine answered honestly. Of course, it was also up to them whether or not they could overcome the obstacles in their path and be with each other forever. "Madam, when did you bec
Owen was immediately surrounded by people."How did the surgery go, Dr. Wagner? Is my son okay?" Francine asked Owen agitatedly. "Don't worry. The surgery was very successful, and everything will be okay as long as he gets good rest for a few days." The long surgery had exhausted Owen, so he didn't speak much and quickly headed to the changing room to change his clothes. There had been a lot of weird things about Stefan's brain surgery, and he needed to talk to Stefan once he'd woken up."Great! He's finally out of danger." Francine breathed a sigh of relief. To her, the most important thing was her son's safety. Seraphina stood nearby with a complicated expression, feeling conflicted. She was relieved that Stefan was safe, but she was also worried about the aftermath of this surgery. "Are you okay, Ms. Murphy?" Elijah walked up to Seraphina and whispered, noticing Seraphina's odd reaction. "I... I'm fine !" Seraphina swallowed and averted her gaze in obvious guilt. Elijah
"I won't hold you responsible for that because I know you only did it out of love for Stefan, but I hope you can understand my intentions too," Francine said slowly.Seraphina looked up, her eyes teary. "What are you saying, Madam Francine? What do you want?" "Calm down..." Although Francine seemed to be reassuring Seraphina, she looked disapproving and solemn. "I won't force you to leave my son, but I'll respect his choices. It's his business if he picks you or someone else. However, I do have one request—that you stay away from Stef while he's recuperating.""What?" Seraphina was stunned, and protested, "Isn't that too much, Madam Francine? You know what I've suffered and sacrificed for Stefan, but now that he's got his memories back, you want to get rid of me. You're not even letting me see him! Don't you feel bad doing this to me?" Seraphina wasn't used to such treatment having been pampered and spoiled her whole life. She was once the only heiress of the Murphy family before h
Jovan's room was full of people the next day. His parents, Eloise, and important executives from Hunt Enterprise had all gathered there since it was a special day. Jovan would be able to see again after the stitches were removed. "It's time, Mr. Hunt. Are you ready? We're going to remove the stitches for you." The doctor asked Jovan seriously."Go ahead." Jovan nodded and sat at the edge of the bed, nervously clasping his hands together. Getting his sight back was almost like being reborn, and no one could understand how agitated he was at that moment.After gaining Jovan's approval, the doctor started removing the bandages. "Your eyes might ache and swell for a while because they haven't been in contact with light for a while, but that's normal. Your vision will be blurred initially, so we'll give you glasses to block out strong lights. It'll help you with the recovery." The last layer of bandages was finally removed, and Jovan could feel a ray of light shining on his eyes. As h
Jovan pursed his lips, not saying a word. His gentle and melancholic eyes didn't seem to match his character."Hey, I'm talking to you! Do you need new ears too?" Arthur scolded, dissatisfied with Jovan's reaction."He's just recovered; don't force him. Do you want him dead?" Sheila snapped at her husband, looking at her son tenderly. After chatting with Jovan a bit, she left with the others.Finally, the room was silent again.Eloise went to Jovan and whispered carefully, "Are you okay, Master Jovan? Can your eyes take it? If not, please close your eyes and rest for a bit." Calmly, Jovan instructed, "Give me a mirror."Eloise's heart skipped a beat. "Huh?" "I said I want a mirror," Jovan said harshly. Terrified, Eloise immediately went to him with a large mirror, and turned it towards him.Jovan's heart twisted in his chest when familiar eyes stared back at him. "These eyes..."Back then, Jovan had been bewitched by these very eyes. "Is there a problem, Master Jovan? I'
Jovan didn't think about it too much and took the medicine from Eloise. Although his eyes were swollen, aching, and uncomfortable, he kept his gaze on Eloise as she made the call. However, his vision soon started to get blurry, and he eventually dropped to the ground, unconscious. "Bring Ms. Everheart in, Lisa!" After Eloise confirmed that Jovan had dozed off, she called Lisa on her phone. The medicine she had given Jovan was actually a sedative given by the doctor to help Jovan sleep better.Since Renee had also asked to bid Jovan goodbye before she left, Lisa quickly helped Renee into Jovan's room. "How is he? Can he see now? His body didn't reject the eyes, right?" Renee's eyes still hadn't recovered, so she looked rather aloof as she walked in wearing a pair of sunglasses. She was much more assertive than before, and no one would be able to tell that she was blind. Her persistence and stubbornness made Eloise and Lisa feel very sorry for her. "The doctor said he's recovering w
