Chapter 1057
Renee turned to the man, clearly confused. “Weren’t you risking your life just to leave? Why the suddenchange of heart?”
“I just wanted to show you that none of you could stop me if I tried to leave. So, if I do stay, it would beof my own volition,” Stefan replied arrogantly.novelbin
“But… why?” Renee still couldn’t understand. However, she now believed that Stefan was telling thetruth, he did in fact have the ability to escape this place.
‘But wasn’t he missing Seraphina? Why is he so willing to stay now? This makes no sense!’
“You mentioned that I risked my life to leave, but you risked your life to save me as well. That showsthat we aren’t just hospital buddies as you said…” Stefan paused, then continued. “I want to know whatkind of past relationship we had to have warranted your desperate efforts.”
He wasn’t sure if he had lost parts of memories, but he could tell that this ‘Renee Everheart’ had playedan important role in his life. Otherwise, her existence alone wouldn’t have been such an uncomfortabletopic to Seraphina, and even his mother.
Since everyone else wasn’t willing to tell him the truth, he had no choice but to look for answershimself.
Renee froze. After a moment of silence, she spoke up softly. “If you’d really like to know, thencooperate with us on your recovery. Once you regain your sight, you’ll be able to see my face. Maybethen you’d remember who I am.”
“That sounds good,” Stefan said, displaying a genuine smile he hadn’t shown since losing his sight. “Ilook forward to that day.”
Renee didn’t reply, mixed emotions stirred with her chest as she thought, ‘Maybe… when you do seeme, you’ll realize how unworthy I am of being in your life!’
When Stefan returned to the sanatorium, he no longer disobeyed orders. Hence, Margaret conducted afull body check up on him, only to leave her shaking her head and sighing repeatedly.
Renee felt rather anxious as she stood nearby. She was worried that this might give Stefanunnecessary pressure, and requested Margaret to step outside for a moment. “Margaret, how is henow? Is it possible for him to ever see again?”
Margaret seemed troubled. She wanted to say something, but stopped herself. After some struggling,she finally explained, “Miss Ren, I’ll be honest with you. His sight isn’t the biggest issue here. His pulseindicates that his condition is worsening, especially his brain. He might have suffered severe trauma,which led to the blood clot in his brain. We should first think of ways to nurse him back to health, or elsehe…”
Margaret couldn’t bring herself to explain further. Her diagnosis was similar to Layla’s, in that Stefanwas in quite a bad condition. She even made sure to spare Renee the horrific details.
“Severe trauma? Blood clot? Then… Can we still save him?” Renee turned pale, panicking since shemerely thought Stefan sustained external wounds. She had always believed that his constitution wasfine, and didn’t think it’d be so severe.
“Calm down, it’s a good thing you brought him here in time. We’re not too late yet. My father, who Isevered ties with, was an expert in curing blood stasis. I learned some skills from him back then, so weshould let him try some medicinal tea for now.”
“Once his brain has healed, his eyes might even recover along with it.” Margaret patted her on theshoulder, consoling the woman gently.
“That’d be great!” Renee sighed in relief. She was secretly happy that she was shameless enough tohave kidnapped him in time. Otherwise, healing him would have become mere wishful thinking.
“But… There is still a small issue…” Margaret seemed reluctant to speak again.
