There was nothing but silence in the room. The man lying on the bed had his eyes tightly closed, accentuated by his long
eyelashes that were as dense as feathers. The gentle light from the orange desk lamp cast a shadow on his tall, defined nose.
Renee saw no response from Stefan, so she leaned down and got closer to him. As she observed him carefully, ripples of
inexplicable feelings rose in her heart.
“Dude! Leaving all else aside, you do have such a pretty face! Why did God bless you with such beauty?”
Renee was once again mesmerized by Stefan’s flawless complexion. Stefan had perfectly defined features and great skin. She
wondered if he had been using some high-class skin care products for his flawlessly smooth skin.
Renee had been fooled many times before and became much more vigilant. She pushed Stefan and warned again, “I’ll say it
again. Don’t use the same trick again!”
Stefan did not move or respond.
“Are you still pretending? I have plenty of ways to deal with you!” Renee said. After that, she mischievously pinched Stefan’s
nose and tried to obstruct his breathing.
Even so, Stefan still did not respond.
“Not awake yet?” Renee furrowed her brows and warned harshly, “Then don’t blame me for using my top-secret weapon!”
Renee waved her arms and stretched her muscles right after saying that. Then... she began to tickle Stefan.
She kept tickling him at different speeds, sometimes lightly and sometimes hard. She was sure that even someone with a strong
determination would have no way to hold back and endure.
“Still no response?”
Renee let out a long sigh and finally believed that Stefan was really in a coma. Seeing that he was still unconscious, she
somehow felt a little more relaxed, less tense than before.
“Okay, okay. I’ll believe it for now. You’re really unconscious.” After saying that, Renee began to take care of Stefan, sparing no
effort.
First, she washed his face and hands. Then, she gave him water and medicine. Finally, she played him a piece of soothing
music. The doctor mentioned that, in his case, it would be easier for him to recover in a comfortable and relaxed environment.
Renee was unsure if Stefan had recovered. In the end, she began to relax in the comfortable and relaxing atmosphere and fell
asleep not long after...
Renee rested on the edge of the bed and slept very well. Her thick and luscious black hair scattered on the bed somehow gave
off the feeling of a tenacious weed.
Stefan opened his eyes. Warmth and happiness flew in his heart as he saw the woman who was taking care of him.
Stefan was already awake when Renee tickled him. However, he had a strong determination and could endure far better than
the average person.
He was afraid that Renee’s gentleness would be gone as soon as he woke up, so he simply pretended to remain unconscious...
Stefan reached out his hand in the quiet and cozy atmosphere and gently placed his hand on her head. As he patted her like
coaxing a child, her hair slipped through his fingers like a silky waterfall.
Renee sensed something odd and jumped on her guard. She questioned him coldly, “What are you doing?”
Stefan’s hand froze in mid-air. The gentle look on his face was quickly replaced by his usual inscrutability. “You’re such a tough
woman,” he said flatly. “You’re still defensive even when you’re asleep.”
Renee glared at Stefan and snapped, “Of course, I have to be on guard! If I stay stupid, I would’ve died many times!”
“You always see the worst in people. You’re always strong, just like a rose with thorns but curled up like a weak, tiny rabbit while
asleep. Maybe deep inside, you long for someone to embrace and protect you, giving you something to fall back on...”
“Nonsense. Absolutely not!”
