“This is great! Do you know how long we’ve waited for this day? Thank you, God, for showing us this miracle!” Francine wailed
as she hugged Stefan.
“Son, you must have suffered so much lately! It’s all my fault for letting those bad people bring you harm! Let’s focus on living our
best lives now, okay?!” Alexander sobbed as he wiped his tears.
“I’m sorry for worrying all of you.” Stefan coughed gently, his handsome face expressing solemnity.
He scanned his surroundings as if he was hoping to meet the person he longed to see all this while. However, only his family and
friends were there, and he spotted no unfamiliar face.
“What are you looking for, son?” Francine quickly asked, noticing that he was spacing out.
“I...” Stefan groaned and asked, “Wasn’t I in Greenwood Sanatorium? Who sent me here?”
“Well...” Francine and Alexander shared a glance, not certain if they should reveal the truth.
Seraphina held his hand and kissed him gently. “Oh silly, Uncle Alexander, Aunt Francine, and I did! We even thanked Mr.
Walker and the rest of the staff. They’d all been through hell just to take care of you, after all.”
“Just Mr. Walker and the staff?”
“Who else could it be?” Seraphina lied without batting an eye. “We discussed with Mr. Walker and found a great doctor to help
you regain your sight! I still can’t believe it really worked!”
“But I remember...” Stefan furrowed his eyebrows, feeling inexplicably disappointed. “I remember someone else taking care of
me. She was also the one who’s been frantically looking for a cure for my eyes too.”
“Oh, I know. You must be talking about Miss Everheart, right? ” Seraphina knew that she couldn’t hide this from him no matter
how much she wanted to, so she mentioned the woman voluntarily.
“Where is she?” Stefan’s eyes lit up slightly, asking enthusiastically.
‘If I remember correctly, we made a promise to each other that day. I had to get a good look at her once I regained my sight.’
Such anticipation was exactly why he was finally motivated to cooperate with their treatment methods.
He had held this newfound hope deep within his heart, hoping to see her once he opened his eyes.
And yet... She wasn’t here.
“She went on a round-the-world trip with Jovan. They got into a big fight, but they made up not long ago. Now their love for each
other is as sweet as honey!” Seraphina
exclaimed nonchalantly
“A round-the-world trip?” The man’s expression darkened.” Were they in such a hurry?”
‘We made a promise that I’d get to finally meet her once my eyes get better! But now she just left without even saying goodbye!’
Renee Everheart, you liar!’
Francine and Alexander’s expressions stiffened. They seemed to have something to say but stopped themselves in the end.
“Son, it’s an amazing thing that you regained your vision, so stop thinking about such negativity. You just need to know that
everyone who loves you is here. Just act like you slept for a very long time, and now you’re awake. Everything’s fine now!”
Francine comforted him, her heart aching.
“Yeah, you merely woke up from slumber. You’re okay now. Stop thinking about those insignificant people. We’ll be here for you,
supporting you, always.” Seraphina hugged the man, speaking as if she was trying to brainwash him.
“Alright.” Stefan nodded, not allowing himself to think any further.
