"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
Smiling, Renee confessed, "I grew up in Everheart Manor, so I'm very familiar with its layout. I can get around the place with my eyes closed, so don't worry." She didn't want to implicate Lisa and get her in trouble."Okay, just be careful," Lisa said finally."Will do. Get back safely!" Renee waved at Lisa. Once she heard the car drive off, she carefully walked towards the gate. After keying in the password, she brushed her hands against the things around her, making her way into the living room. She had strong perception and observation skills, so it wasn't difficult for her to move around her childhood home. "Adie! Abby!" Renee opened the door and yelled, grinning happily."Mommy!" Abby was drawing upstairs, but when she heard Renee's voice, she ran downstairs excitedly. "It's really you, Mommy! You're finally home!" Abby threw herself into Renee's arms and hugged her. Renee caressed Abby's head lovingly and smiled. "Were you good when I wasn't around?" "Of course! I final
"I think Adie's out. Margaret is worried about him and has gone to look for him," Abby said honestly. She wasn't surprised that Adie had successfully snuck out; her smart brother was very careful, so she wasn't worried about him at all."What? Where did he go this time?" Renee asked anxiously. Adie was unusually clever, and it always made Renee worry. However, in her current condition, she didn't know what she should do. Luckily, at that moment, Margaret returned. She entered the house anxiously, still wearing her apron because Adie had snuck out while she was cooking. "You're finally home, Ms. Ren! Please help me figure out where Adie has gone, I can't find him anywhere…""Did he say anything before he left? Has he been acting strangely recently?" Renee frowned and asked.Margaret sighed and said worriedly, "No, nothing of the sort, but he did think you'd gotten into trouble because you refused to have a video call with him. He said that he wanted to save you, but I ignored him b
Renee breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that."Adie didn't let me tell you guys because he didn't want you to worry about him," Abby explained quickly. "Well, he shouldn't have gone out without permission if that was the case." Renee tried to calm herself down, then said to Margaret, "Call Adie and ask him where he is now, Margaret.""I did, but he didn't answer the call.""What about his location?" "I can't find his location because his phone is turned off.""It's okay, I know what to do. Get me a laptop." Renee had purposely installed a tracking app on Adie and Abby's smartwatches in case they ever got lost. She could still track them with it even if their smartwatches were switched off or ran out of battery. Margaret quickly carried a laptop over and clicked on the app based on Renee's instructions.Renee sat at the desk, feeling the keys on the keyboard, then started typing on it. A progress bar popped up on the screen, and after a few minutes, it reached 100%. Re
The nurse peered at Adie's handsome face and realized it resembled Stefan's. Her face lit up, and she said excitedly, "I got it! You must be Mr. Hunt's son, right? You look just like him!" Adie frowned unhappily, and tried to correct her. "No, I'm not his son, and he's not my daddy. It's just that our genes are similar. Have you ever seen any father fail to recognize his son?" "Umm..." At that moment, Seraphina had just arrived at the hospital with a lot of supplements for Stefan. She'd heard that Stefan was awake, but had no clue about his condition or whether he remembered Renee.However, Francine guarded her son well. She had hired more than ten bodyguards to stand guard outside the ward, and Seraphina was strictly prohibited to enter.Vexed, Seraphina tried to think of a way to get to Stefan, and when she saw Adie in the lobby, her eyes immediately lit up. She walked over to Adie and grinned. "Do you know who I am, kid?" Adie gave Seraphina a disgusted look and scoffed, "
