�You? Help me and Stef?� Seraphina froze in disbelief as if she had just heard the most ridiculous myth.

She then scoffed. �Do you think I�m dumb, Everheart? Do you think I�d really believe your fake empathy?�

Renee�s gaze was cold and retorted. �Do you really think that I�d waste my energy to lie to you?�

�W� What do you mean?�

�Meaning, even if I really wanted to compete with you, you wouldn�t even get the chance to go against me. I don�t need to play these mind games with you.�

�You!� Seraphina was speechless.

Despite her rage, she knew that Renee was right and was unable to mount a reasonable comeback.

Jovan stared at Renee with a conflicted gaze and asked coldly. �What do you mean by �till he gets better?� How much better does he have to be?�

�That�s hard to say.� Renee turned to Jovan.

As if the two were playing a tug of war, she continued. �At the very least, I have to make sure he won�t get taken advantage of.�

Seraphina took a deep breath and reached her hand out. �We may be rivals, but if you really want Stef to get better, I�m willing to put our past grudges behind us.�

Renee stared at the woman�s hand, not intending to shake it at all. Her eyes were frosty. �No need. Just keep your emotions in check. That�s the most support you can provide me with.�

Seraphina�s cheeks turned red. She nearly cussed out loud but suppressed the urge to do so. �Alright, I don�t mind doing anything as long as Stef gets better.�

While the two finally came to a mutual understanding, good news came from the ward.

The chief doctor walked out. The team had a relieved smile on their faces. �Don�t worry, everyone. Mr. Hunt should be fine now. Please make sure he gets as much rest as he can, and keep him in a positive mood. Do not trigger him in any way.�

�Thank you, doctor, thank you for all your work.� Seraphina placed her hand on her chest, letting out a long sigh of relief.

It was obvious that she truly did care for Stefan. Even though the man was disabled, her unconditional love for him continued shining through.

Renee, on the other hand, walked straight into the ward without saying a word.

�Hey Everheart, what are you trying to do now, you witch? You�� Seraphina called out arrogantly, trying to stop the woman.

�Follow me. We need to talk.� Jovan blocked Seraphina�s way and demanded under his breath. JrNovels.com
