Chapter 1098
"Oh, yeah, it's you, Joan! I can finally see properly. Hey old friend!" The two were especially friendly with her.
Nearly everyone in the hospital knew who Renee was, as she had been frequenting the place with Jovan for his medical
treatments and checkups. Hence, all of them were familiar with each other by now.
The woman then continued to talk to them for a bit. With that, not only did she find out where Seraphina's surgery was ongoing,
she even found out which hotel they were currently staying at in the town.
"I'm going to check up on Van now. Bye, guys!" Renee nodded softly at the nurses and left the stairway once she was done
smoking.
Initially, she was going to head back to Jovan's ward, but her body walked toward the operating rooms unconsciously.
She hid around the corner, peeking out of the wall carefully. She quickly noticed Stefan, who was standing by the doors.
He was still wearing the casual white dress shirt she had seen in the morning. However, it was now drenched in blood, as were
his hands. It was obvious that he had been standing guard the entire time, sparing no time to clean himself up.
She could tell that he was quite concerned about Seraphina, seeing how he was pacing back and forth with a tense expression.
It had likely been six hours since he brought Seraphina to the hospital. This meant he hadn't rested or consumed anything for the
past few hours...
This guy! He only recovered six months ago, and now he's endangering his health again! Damn it, I'm worried for him!'
Renee pondered as she bit down on her lip and headed downstairs to a nearby restaurant she frequented. She then decided to
buy a serving of seafood dumplings.
From what she remembered, despite not liking Aeos cuisine, Stefan was rather fond of dumplings, especially seafood ones. She
believed he would gain an appetite as soon as he smelt those.
Stefan was still panicking in front of the operating rooms. Time crawled by, and until midnight, there was still no news on
Seraphina's condition.
"Damn it! This is all my fault! This is my fault!"
If he hadn't bought that mug for Seraphina, she wouldn't have ended up in a car crash.
This was supposed to be a lovely honeymoon, as they had already chosen the most romantic city for their grand wedding.
Unexpectedly, they were met with an accident at their very first stop.
He couldn't possibly imagine what he would do if something bad were to happen to Seraphina. He wouldn't know what to tell her
parents at all.
'Seraphina had been through so many hard times with me. I can't lose her!'
Just then, a nurse came over and gently patted him on the shoulder. "Mr. Hunt, the surgery is going to take a while. I noticed you
have been waiting a long time, and you must be hungry. Here are some dumplings."
Stefan turned around and stared at the bowl of dumplings, his heart warming up at the sight. Receiving traditional food in a
foreign country during such a dark time was rather meaningful.
"Thank you. Did you make this?"
Despite Stefan’s cold nature, he couldn't possibly maintain his hostility when faced with such kindness.
"Uhm..." The nurse looked rather uneasy, replying. "Our hospital provides these for... our Aeos patients, and it's our hope that
you can taste something from home and relax a little."
"Thanks." Stefan took the dumplings and opened the lid without hesitation. He then quickly scarfed them down, as he was
indeed feeling rather famished at the time.
"It tastes great." The man nodded, a lump forming in his throat.
This bowl of dumplings had truly hit him right where he was weak. As he remembered, he had never told anyone that the only
Aeos dish he liked were dumplings, specifically seafood dumplings.
Yet the hospital here was providing him with his very favorite. 'I guess... This world is very kind...'
