He realized that he had gone a bit out of control tonight. It was like playing with fire. He would certainly ruin himself if he was not
being careful regardless of how good his reason.
“Really? You gave me your word. If you see her alone again, I... I’ll jump off the building here and kill myself, and you’ll regret it
for the rest of your life.”
Seraphina pointed at the dark stairs and made a joke. She sounded slightly serious.
“Okay, don’t be mad. Let’s go back. It’s too cold here. I’m afraid you’ll catch a cold.”
After Stefan said that, he carried Seraphina in a very macho manner.
They left just like that without saying another word to Renee again. They did not even uphold basic civility and bid her goodbye.
Renee was at a loss for words.
Looking in the direction they left, Renee was struck dumb. She did not react for a long time.
“Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!”
After that, as if she had gone completely insane, she burst into uncontrollable peals of laughter.
‘How ridiculous! Stefan is ridiculous, and so does Seraphina. But I’m the most ridiculous one here.
‘I was his lover, but I’ve now become a shameful homewrecker. The woman who occupied my spot humiliated me recklessly. I
watched my beloved man be lovey-dovey with another woman.
‘Renee, you’re so great and affectionate. You’re willing to put yourself at such a humble level to help grant his wish of leading a
perfect life. You suffer in silence... You’re indeed the best slut ever.’
A week later, Renee helped Jovan to be discharged from the hospital based on the original plan of his attending doctor.
That week was neither long nor short. She and Stefan never met each other again.
They had a tacit understanding and avoided any places where they might bump into each other.
Everything happened normally. If one did not dwell on it, the previous meeting appeared more like a dream. It was as if it had
never happened.
Jovan also had the same kind of tacit understanding. He was very smart. He would not inquire about it when Renee did not
mention it. He was still happy and optimistic.
Renee called a cab. It stopped downstairs in the inpatient department. She carried a bag and pushed Jovan forward before they
took an elevator downstairs.
“Darling, it’s been hard for you this time around. I’ll give you a surprise to thank you.”
“What kind of surprise?”
“I have to keep it a secret since it’s a surprise. It won’t be a surprise anymore if it’s revealed.”
Jovan kept her in suspense and said mysteriously.
They got into the car. Renee’s sharp senses told her that someone had been watching her all the while.
Inevitably, she looked up and glanced at Seraphina’s ward.
However, there was no one beside the window. She did not see the person she thought she would see.
‘Humph! I must be overthinking.’
She shook her head and closed the car door. She then said to the driver, “Mister, we can go now.”
