Stefan snapped back to reality and pressed his lips, then told the truth. �I was thinking if I should be taking my medicine now.�

�M� Medicine?�

�My afterlife buddy said I have to drink it twice per day. It should be time to drink some, so why isn�t she here yet?�

�So� You� You were waiting for her?� Seraphina said, her face stiff as her lips twitched in annoyance.

She had never felt so humiliated before. Despite being right next to him, despite her excitement regarding their wedding plans, his heart and soul were longing for another instead.

�I�m not waiting for her. I was waiting for the medicine,� Stefan said as he moved his arms around, smiling with intrigue. �You have to admit that it works pretty well.�

Seraphina clenched her fists, trying her best to suppress her rage. She then spoke softly, �I think so too. Let me rush her for you.�

She then angrily ran towards the end of the hallway, where Renee�s ward was.

However, there was someone else in the ward this time, and the nurse mentioned that the woman was discharged�

�What? She�s been discharged?� Seraphina felt a bit suspicious, torn between feeling happy and angry at her actions. �How can she just leave without saying anything?!�

She should�ve known that this woman couldn�t be trusted. They had promised to wait for Stefan to get better before leaving, but now, he was still bedridden and she had already left. She just couldn�t keep her promises!

�Are you Miss Murphy?� The nurse asked cautiously.

�Yes, what�s wrong?� Seraphina snapped at the nurse in irritation. She didn�t know why, but Renee�s abrupt departure made her feel uneasy. Renee wasn�t the type who would give up easily, so she had to be hiding an ace up her sleeve!

�I was told by Miss Everheart to give this medicine to you. She said it works wonders, and hopes that you brew it carefully,� the nurse explained, then handed over a cube of the medicine to Seraphina.

�For me?� Seraphina stared at the medicine in confusion, wondering what Renee was up to. She opened up the medicine, and saw that there was tiny text on the packaging that was completely indiscernible to her eyes.

�Is Renee giving me this miraculous medicine so she can become the heroine who saves Stefan? No, there�s no way! This medicine could be poison meant to cause my downfall. I will never use it!� Seraphina thought with a sneer. With a heavy heart, she returned to Stefan�s room.

Stefan�s gaze was dull, but his hearing was sharp. When he heard footsteps outside his door, his face lit up. �Is my medicine here?� He asked hopefully.

Seraphina felt even more agitated, and answered flatly, �No, she�s been discharged.�

She wasn�t stupid. She knew that though Stefan was asking about the medicine, he actually wanted to know about Renee. It hurt her pride.

�She was discharged�� Stefan�s expression visibly dimmed. JrNovels.com
