Francine and Layla then left the room rather unwillingly.

Seraphina let out a sigh of relief, her expression content. �Phew, that was close, we almost got exposed. At least we�re done talking about that now. Stefan is quite the trump card, as long as he protects me unconditionally, no one in the Hunt family can ever lay a finger on me! Conflict with in-laws is just a myth � conflict is only caused by the husband�s incompetence. As long as a husband is willing to defend his wife, no in-law would be able to give her a difficult time.�

�Stef�� Seraphina felt happy as she thought about it, and leaned her head against the man�s shoulder. She intended to continue showing him love.

Unexpectedly, Stefan became rather distant. �You too, give me some space.�

�What�s wrong, Stef? Are you mad at me for throwing that recipe away?� Seraphina asked quickly.

�No.� Stefan comforted her. �My head is just a little fuzzy, so I�d like to be alone with my thoughts for a while.�

�Your head� is a little fuzzy? Is it because you remembered something?� Seraphina felt her heart jump once again.

�Should I have?�

Stefan frowned deeply. He was slowly feeling more and more certain that he had lost some of his memories, especially those related to his �afterlife buddy�.

Seraphina turned pale, a wave of fear consuming her. �N-No. You just need to remember who I am.�

Outside the ward, Francine paced about, looking extremely upset.

Layla nervously asked, �Madam, are you worried about something?�

�What do you think? Just look at what my son suddenly became! How could I not be worried?� Francine seemed to be rather disturbed, snapping at anyone she encountered.

She rambled on as she stared at Layla. �Did you not notice how weird my son�s condition was?�

�You�re right, especially his brain. It seems as though it had taken quite a serious injury. If it�s possible, I�d really recommend getting a second opinion and a full body checkup.�

�Yeah, you think something�s wrong with his brain too, huh? I suspect�� Francine paused, scanning her surroundings nervously.

�What do you suspect?� Layla started feeling anxious as well.

Francine whispered seriously, �I think my son has been bewitched, and Seraphina is the one who cast the spell! She�s intent on taking control of my son. Didn�t you see how obedient and protective he was towards her? It makes no sense!�

�Umm, bewitched, you say?� Layla was quite taken aback. �Why is this theory sounding like a fairytale?!�

�I don�t care what it is, but I know my son cannot continue staying with Seraphina. If she really is Jovan�s spy, we�re done for. That�s why we need to find a way to transfer him to another hospital. If we do this according to normal procedures, my son would never agree to it. So� you have to think of something for me.� Francine was a cautious person, and could predict risks that might occur later on. JrNovels.com
