“Are you going to persuade her?’ Renee rolled her eyes and scoffed, ’Stop messing around.
You’re the cause of all this, and if you go in there now, you’ll only aggravate her. I wouldn’t
risk it.”
“You’re wrong. The so-called ‘Night Demon’ is the cause of this tragedy,” Stefan sneered,
then pushed past Renee into the ward.
“Hey, you...” Renee tried to go after him, but was stopped by a nurse.
“I’m sorry, I can’t allow you to enter since the patient isn’t comfortable around you. We can’t
afford the patient’s condition worsening,” the nurse explained carefully.
“No way! He can go in, so why can’t I?’ Renee spluttered in shock. To her disbelief, the
chaos in the ward faded a few minutes after Stefan walked in. Eventually, he walked out of
the ward, looking as elegant and poised as always.
“Why did you come out?” Renee peered into the ward and asked suspiciously, “What’s
going on in there? Why didn’t I hear anything?”
“She calmed down. The nurse is setting up an IV drip for her and tending to her,” Stefan
calmly replied.
“What? What did you say to her?!”
“Nothing. I just asked her to rest well and get better... so she can get her revenge.”
“What?! Why would you say such a thing? She finally escaped from Benjamin, but you want
her to go back and get revenge on him? Are you trying to ruin her?” Renee asked angrily.
“Who said I asked her to take revenge on Benjamin?” Stefan looked at Renee
condescendingly.
“Who else could she take revenge on? I doubt you’d ask her to take revenge on you,”
Renee said, looking confused. After Stefan lost his memory, he’d become more complex
and shrewd. She couldn’t read him the way she did before.
“I asked her to take revenge on your brother,” he explained expressionlessly.
Renee’s jaw dropped. She gaped at him indignantly for a few seconds, then snarled, “Are
you out of your mind? Didn’t we call a truce? Why are you going after my brother again?
You’re the one who ruined their relationship before this, and now you’re trying to do it again.
How can you be so cruel?”
Stefan didn’t even flinch at Renee’s angry accusations. “The grudge between Joanne and
your brother would still exist even if wasn’t around; I didn’t have to persuade her to do
anything.”
“You...” Renee wanted to argue, but something made her hesitate. In the back of her mind,
she knew that there had to be something she was missing here, especially given Joanne’s
attitude towards her and Quinton.
Something had made them fall out with each other, and maybe Stefan had only added fuel
to the fire.
“So, do you know what happened between my brother and Joanne? They used to rely on
each other, but now, she seems to hate him. Why’s that?” Renee asked Stefan curiously.
She felt that he probably knew the reason, which was why Joanne felt like she owed him.
“Yes, I do know,” he said bluntly.
