Chapter: 1394

Stefan�s condition was very complicated. His brain had undergone major surgery, so he could not overwork it. If he forced himself to recall things, it could injure his brain, and could even lead to death.

Renee had always been careful when she took care of him, and tried her best not to talk too much. He had been fine so far, but to her surprise, it had been that small cup of coffee that carried the biggest impact.

�Where did I have this kind of coffee?� Stefan�s thin lips became pale and his low voice was slightly shaky. Even though he was in deep pain, he held on and forced himself to recall those memories.

�There�s always a blurry figure in my mind � a graceful and charming figure in the garden of Hunt Villa� D*mn it! My head hurts!�

Suddenly, he was overwhelmed with rage. He clenched his fists and hit his head repeatedly, breathing heavily. �I�m a worthless piece of trash that can�t even use his own brain. What�s the point in living like this?!�

�No, stop that!� Renee quickly pulled him into her embrace and shielded his head with her slender arms. Her heart ached for him, and she sobbed, �You�re hurt. It�s normal that you don�t remember things. As you recover, you�ll recall those memories, I promise. Don�t hurt yourself this way, or you might not be able to remember anything at all.�

Stefan finally became quiet.

Renee�s warm and sweet embrace was like a tranquilliser for him, and Stefan gradually calmed down. He was now nestled quietly in her arms like an injured kitten.

�Everyone will encounter setbacks no matter how strong they are. You�ve always led an easy life, so maybe these are some difficulties you�ll have to face. Don�t lose your cool, I promise you�ll get through this.� Renee patted his back gently as if she was coaxing Adie or Abby. Her gentle voice and sweet scent enveloped him like a soft breeze.

No man could escape from such tenderness, including Stefan. He was entranced by this woman, and it confused him. He grabbed her hand and demanded, �What did you do to me? Why do I always feel calm when you�re near me?�

Renee�s wrist was injured, and his grip reopened her wound. She gasped in pain, and stammered, �I� I was just trying to talk some sense into you, I didn�t do anything to you!�

Renee gritted her teeth, trying to drown out the pain.

Stefan tightened his grip on her hand and growled menacingly, �I can�t wait until I can see again. Tell me now � what kind of past did we have? The person I love the most is Seraphina, so what kind of witchcraft are you using to confuse me?�

He wanted to know the truth because he couldn�t stand the pain of trying to remember. Everytime he tried to recall something, it felt like someone was taking a scalpel to his brain, and the pain was enough to drive anyone mad.

�I� Ah!� Renee whimpered in pain, unable to hold it back any longer.

�What�s wrong?� Stefan immediately released her hand.

�Nothing. It�s just that your grip was too strong and it hurt me.� Renee inhaled deeply as she adjusted the bandage on her wrist. Blood was oozing out of the wound, staining the bandages red.

Renee thought bitterly, �How pathetic. Just a bit of force and I bleed this much. If an enemy comes after me now, I�ll be doomed.�

Renee tried to calm herself down, but before she could, Margaret�s nervous voice called out, �Miss Ren, er� Something�s wrong!�

Margaret rushed into the back garden. She was about to say something but became hesitant when she noticed that Stefan was around. JrNovels.com
