�Don�t my methods always work?�

He smiled lightly and confidently.

Seraphina wavered and was moved, but she was still doubtful. �Why would you help me?�

�You�re wrong. I�m a desperate egoist. I help no one else except myself. In other words,� I�m not helping you, but I�m actually helping myself.�

After one night, Renee gradually regained her strength and woke up.

�You�re awake. How are you feeling now?�

Jovan sat beside the bed with his head low, peeling an apple.

He sliced the skin into a thin and long stripe. It did not even break until the end.

It was just like what he always did, meticulous to the last detail, leaving no space to turn around.

A painful headache pounded Renee�s head as she looked at the white ward. For a moment, she was stunned. �Where am I? Am I still alive?�

�Of course you are. You�re so tough. How could such a puny river defeat you? What�s more, you have a great will. You hurt your leg from the fall, but you held on until downstream. I admire that very much!�

Jovan appeared like a warm younger man as he smiled tenderly and handed Renee the apple he had just peeled.

Of course, she was not in the mood for apples. She frowned and asked, �Where�s Stefan? How is he?�

�Don�t worry. He has stronger willpower than yours. He lost so much blood, yet he survived the experience. I�ve got to hand it to him too.�

Jovan sounded indifferent, but it was a fatal blow for Renee.

�What? He� Did he lose too much blood� Ah!�

She tried to stand up because of the deep shock. But she felt so much pain that her face scrunched up as the wound on her leg tore open.

�Why are you so anxious? You�re in pain now, aren�t you?�

Jovan quickly supported her wavering body and gently helped her to lie in bed. �The doctor stated that you need to rest. You can�t get out of bed before half a month, or ten days at least.�

�I�m fine. The key is Stefan. How is he now? Why did he lose too much blood? Is he seriously injured? He�� JrNovels.com
