Chapter 1034
She had no idea Stefan's condition was so critical.
'So... he really did forget about me? And he's not putting up an act just because he resented me?'
"Yeah, brain surgery. I did tell you about this the moment you woke up, that the surgery might induce partial memory loss. If you
keep forcing him to remember things, it would increase the pressure on his mind. So I'm guessing... that's why his condition
suddenly worsened."
Renee was stunned, unable to say anything as she stood there frozen. Jovan's statements were enough to prove her doubts
right.
'Stefan really forgot about me.'
'Like every cliche drama out there, he remembered everyone else but me.'
"Yeah, yeah! That's the reason! I told you not to trigger him, but you wouldn't listen! Are you happy now, you vicious witch?!"
Seraphina finally found a proper reason to scream at Renee.
However, she immediately stopped when she noticed Jovan's indifferent glance.
"I'm terribly sorry. I really didn't know that my appearance would bring him such harm. I was being too rash," Renee said with a
deep bow.
As a stubborn woman, she never would have apologized so easily. Yet this time, not only had she apologized, she was asking for
forgiveness from someone she looked down upon. Hence, it was obvious as to how much she faulted herself over this.
"There's no use saying sorry to her. It's not like she's the one in danger..." Jovan then paused, seemingly conflicted.
"If you really feel bad about this, you should stay away from Stefan. He won't be in danger as long as you don't trigger him.
Besides, he's fallen for Miss Murphy, and they're clearly in love. I'm sure they'll have a happy life together."
"You're right, but... I won't leave him." Renee was oddly determined.
"What did you say?" Jovan was slightly shocked. This was not within his expectations at all.
'According to logic, she should be feeling extremely guilty by now. And she would silently keep her distance for Stefan's sake.'
"I said I won't leave Stefan, at least not now," Renee stressed seriously as her expression remained sharp. She looked at the
two. "I know both of you well enough to see that you are sh*tty people. If I go now, Stefan will fall into your hands, and who
knows what will happen to him."
"That's why... I won't leave until he gets better."
"What nonsense is that, you b*tch?! My love for Stefan runs deeper than the Mariana Trench! I only wish for his
happiness, so how could I possibly bring him any harm?!" Seraphina huffed.
"I admit you love him a lot, so I won't destroy what you have now. Instead... I might even help improve your relationship with him.
But first, I need him to get better, and I believe you truly wish that, too, right?" Renee asked Seraphina intently.
Her observation skills were quite sharp. She was certain that Seraphina and Jovan were keeping some kind of hidden secret,
especially their frequent glances at each other...
