In the ward, Stefan was still unconscious at the time. Renee stood next to his bed. Her eyes fixated on his face. �I�m so sorry, Stefan. I didn�t know you�ve been through so much pain. Maybe forgetting about me is a good thing for you.�

Tearing up, her vision blurred as her eyes reddened. She sobbed. �I swear I will find a way to cure your illness, come what may. Once you get better, I�ll leave you alone for good.�

Silence soon returned to the room. However, Renee had no idea that Stefan had already woken up a while ago. Her words were confusing him, but he didn�t speak up about it, nor did he open his eyes. He just pretended as if he knew nothing about this.

For the next few days, Renee and Seraphina somehow managed to keep the peace between the both of them.

Seraphina allowed Renee to continue staying by Stefan�s side as his �attendant,� as she took care of his basic necessities. However, she had also made sure to request that Renee limit any verbal contact with him.

�Now that you know Stef has been through brain surgery and that he can�t be exposed to any triggers. Since you�re special to him, a single sentence, or even a single move, would be enough to drive him mad.�

�For his safety, you should act like you�re invisible, don�t let him notice you much.�

Seraphina thought Renee would have exploded after receiving her cruel demands, especially knowing how hot-tempered she could be.

Despite this, the woman was quick to agree to her terms. �No problem, I�ll just pretend to be mute.�

With this, Renee would sometimes encounter quite a few �heart-wrenching� scenes�

That day, Renee had just finished brewing some medicinal tea. She pushed open the door to Stefan�s ward.

Inside were Seraphina and Stefan, cuddling each other lovingly. The two looked glued to the hip unwilling to separate at all.

�Seraphina, I thought about it. Let�s get married once I get discharged!� Stefan said, his arms wrapped around her and his chin placed on top of her head.

His expression seemed longing. �I hope we can have our wedding in Tahato, I hear they have the bluest seas and the softest sand. Since you love the sea so much, that will be the most suitable place for our wedding.�

Seraphina�s blissful expression was instantly replaced with fear. �Marrying right after you�ve recovered?! Isn�t that� too soon?�

�Besides, when have I ever said I liked the sea?�

�I hate it! It�s too sunny out, it�s boring as heck, and it�s the worst when it gets too windy!�

�How is that too soon?� Stefan�s face turned serious. �I love you so much that I want to put a ring on you right away. I don�t want to waste any more time.�

�You love me a lot, too, right? We jumped into the lake and experienced life and death together. Why wouldn�t we marry each other after all that? What are we waiting for?�

�You� You�re right.� Seraphina nodded with guilt, her gaze slightly conflicted as she turned to look at Renee. JrNovels.com
