Chapter: 1362
"Wait, stop! We have to check him!" Renee yelled at Seraphina.
"Stef, what's happening?! Don't scare me! Say something!" Seraphina just realized Stefan's condition had worsened, with all color draining from his face. It seemed he had fallen unconscious as well.
"His heart rate is going up! Call the doctor! Now!" Renee looked towards the heart monitor, whose lines were dancing, as if indicating that the man was in a very unstable condition.
The chief doctor quickly rushed over and started providing emergency care. "Please wait outside, ladies. The patient's blood pressure is unstable, and he needs urgent treatment!"
Renee and Seraphina didn't dare to stay any longer, immediately cooperating with the medics and leaving the ward.
"You unlucky b*tch! Look what you've done to Stef?! Haven't you caused enough harm?!" Seraphina wailed as she hit Renee harshly. "Nothing happened when you were gone! The doctors even said his condition had stabilized! He only needs a few more days of rest before he can get discharged!
"But as soon as you showed up, his heart started palpitating, and his life is now in danger again! You're the bane of his existence! So please just leave him alone, I beg of you!"
"I... I didn't expect this either." Renee worriedly stared at Stefan's ward, her eyes filled with deep melancholy and regret. She started feeling as if the deal she made with the gods was slowly coming true. The first time might have been coincidence, but with it happening a second and third time, calling it a mere coincidence wasn't going to cut it.
'Murphy is right, I'm really the bane of Stefan's existence. He'll be in danger as long as I'm near him...'
"I told you that you had to use a cotton swab to apply the cream, but you insisted on using your fingers! He's still in a weak state. Even a slight breeze could endanger his life!"
"There must be bacteria on your fingers, and his wounds are now infected! You witch, why didn't you drown back then?! Why did you have to come back and hurt Stef all over again?!" Seraphina lunged at the woman once more, releasing all her pent-up rage from the past fer days.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Renee could feel a lump in her throat, with tears trickling down her cheeks. She allowed Seraphina to take out whatever anger she had on her without the slightest resistance. "Stop it!" Jovan was met with this messy scene when he existed the elevator. He dashed over to the two women.
He then grabbed Seraphina's wrist and questioned, "Didn't I warn you not to hurt her?!"
Seraphina shrunk as soon as she saw Jovan, like a rat encountering a cat. She suddenly became subservient, gulping nervously. "I didn't mean to, but she deserved it! She used her dirty hands to apply medicine to Stef's wounds!"
"You know how many difficulties he had gone through just for his condition to stabilize! But now� his life is at risk again!"
"How can you blame her?" Jovan shot her a cold glare. "The doctors have already told you about Stefan's condition. They said he was still in a crisis and he could become unstable at any time! He injured his head badly and even underwent major surgery! Even if no one touched him, he might have ended up in this situation."
"Surgery?" Drowned in tears, Renee's eyes were cold and sharp. "Weren't his wounds external!? Why would he need any major surgery?"
Seraphina's expression visibly shifted as she glanced at Jovan carefully. She kept her mouth shut, not daring to utter a single word.
Jovan, however, seemed quite relaxed. He smiled at the woman and responded. "Stefan had a concussion. He hit his head on a rock which caused internal bleeding in his skull. That's why they had to give him brain surgery. Isn't that considered major surgery?" JrNovels.com
