Chapter 1073
"What's your request?" Jovan was in a good mood as he stared at Renee with bright eyes. He thought excitedly, 'Yes! She
promised me! She agreed to it!'
He felt like he had finally gained victory after eighteen years of fighting; it was an indescribable feeling. He was more than willing
to grant her wish - he would give her the moon if she asked him to.
"I can go with you, but I have to be with Stefan until he's fully recovered and can see again," she explained firmly. That was her
original plan - it would not change because of anything.
Jovan's gaze instantly dulled, and he scoffed, "Hmph! How are you going to do that? Do you want to use your blood to heal him
again? You're so weak that you can't even stand, how much blood do you even have to give?"
"How... How do you know?" Surprise flashed in her eyes. She had never told him anything about the medicine.
"Your body is weak, and there are bloody wounds on both of your wrists. Other than my dear blind cousin, any sensible person
would know." Jovan grabbed her arms and looked at the wounds on her wrists, anger and grief overwhelming him. "Renee, are
you out of your mind? He doesn't even remember you, but you risk your life to save him. What do you want?"
"I just want peace of mind." She looked down and said softly. If she and Stefan were not destined to be together, the least she
could do was ensure his happiness for the rest of his life. Hence, she wanted to stay with him until he recovered. She also
wanted to protect his business for him and find him a woman who truly loved him...
Once she had accomplished this, she could leave him without any worries.
"Well, you might get your peace of mind, but I certainly won't. " Jovan's features became tense as he said solemnly, "I
can't promise you that. I want you to leave with me right away and not sacrifice yourself for him again."
"Well, then we can't reach a deal. You can leave now." Renee said stubbornly, and tried to get out of bed to ask Margaret about
Stefan's condition.
Stefan's body had just recovered. She could not stop the medicine, and she did not know how long she had been in a coma. She
didn't know if the blood she provided earlier was sufficient.
Jovan blocked her way, agitated. "Be clear. What do you mean? Do you regret it? You don't want to go with me now?"
"I was clear enough. I can't leave him be, and I'll have to kill everyone who tries to stop me." Her eyes turned cold as she spoke.
"You... You!" Jovan frowned deeply, feeling defeated. He would have no way out regardless of how meticulous and
comprehensive his plan was, as long as he bumped into a stubborn person like her.
"Okay, I won't stop you. If you must stay with him, I'll stay with you. However, you must go with me the moment he recovers!" He
gritted his teeth as he spoke. It was the
biggest compromise he could make. His initial arrogance was gone, and now, he seemed rather pitiful. He wanted to kick himself
for agreeing to it.
Renee stared at his flushed face, and after a few seconds, she nodded. "Deal!"
She could not understand his stubbornness just the way he failed to understand hers, but the one thing they had in common
was... they did not want to have any regrets.
