“Oh, that’s what you’re worried about. There’s no need to worry-just look up my name, and you’ll seethat I’ve never made any mistakes. You can just look forward to your fiance regaining his memories.”Owen patted his chest proudly. He was confident in his surgical skills and fishing because he neverfailed in them.novelbin
Of course, Seraphina had heard of him. When she conspired with Jovan, they had considered bribingOwen, who could do a better job at it. However, after asking around, they learned that Owen was aweirdo who didn’t care about money or fame. He treated patients based on his mood, so it would bedifficult to bribe him. Hence, they chose the second best neurosurgeon, someone who was not asskilled as Owen but could be easily controlled.
Owen’s confident assurance filled Seraphina with anxiety.
“You might be right, but Stefan’s condition has finally become stable. He shouldn’t be going throughsurgery again.
I just want to see him healthy, and it’s not important for him to regain those memories,” Seraphina saidhypocritically.
“You don’t have a say in this-only the patient’s words matter here,” Owen said bluntly, and turned toStefan who had been quiet the whole time. “Do you want to regain your memories, Stefan?”
Stefan replied casually, “I called you here, so of course I do. No one wants to live like a fool. I’d rathersuffer in pain
instead of having numb happiness.”
His life seemed perfect with his smooth career, and caring family and fiancee. There seemed to benothing to upset him, but he felt like a caged animal. He didn’t know what was going on outside, andeverything he saw and touched was not what he truly wanted.
Besides, he used to be in complete control of his life, so how could he accept being controlled byothers instead?
“Numb happiness?” His words made Seraphina’s eyes water. She walked up to him and held hishands. “Do you think being with me is numb happiness? I’m alive, and I’m your fiancee. I’ve soldieredthrough a lot of hardships with you, you know. Do you have any idea how much you’ve hurt me?”
“I’m sorry…” Guilty, Stefan looked at Seraphina’s pained expression. “I just don’t want to live lifeblindly… not again.”
Seraphina said desperately, “There’s always a price to pay. Do you insist on opening Pandora’s box?”
“Yes!” Stefan sounded firm, and his tone brooked no arguments.
Heaving a long sigh, Seraphina gave up. “I see you won’t change your mind, but you have to bear therisks of this, including death. Have you really thought this through?”
“I can accept that.” After experiencing so many things, Stefan had become insightful and was no longerafraid of death.
“Fine then, do whatever you want! I’ll stop meddling in your business!” Helpless, Seraphina ran out ofthe ward furiously, leaving Stefan and Owen in the ward.
Owen pulled a chair and sat beside Stefan’s bed, shrugging and smiling teasingly. “I think you madeher mad.”
