Chapter: 1425
Jovan touched the brim of the coffee mug, the warmth creeping up his fingers. After that, he asked in a nonchalant tone, �I heard that he�s coming to Banrea with Seraphina for their honeymoon soon��
Renee was stunned. It took her a few moments before nodding. �Mhm.�
�You should go see him if you�d like. I know it must�ve been hard taking care of a useless man like me. If seeing him could make you happier, I support it.� Jovan looked rather guilty,
He had willingly allowed them to perform the �Bloodletting and Bone Fumigation Therapy� after all, but he knew that he wasn�t the only one getting punished during this process.
His pain was physical, and he could at least find medication for relief.
Renee�s pain, however, was emotional. Being depressed for an extended amount of time could cause irreparable damage to the heart and mind.
�No need.� Renee quickly refused. �And what if I do see him? We�re not fated to be together. I�m just going to bring myself more pain.�
�What� What if I�m willing to let you go?� Jovan said as his chest tightened from the heartache.
He was never one to be generous. Some might even say he�s a phony and selfish person. Yet, after meeting Renee, his �curse,� he was more than willing to risk his life for her,
�You might be willing to let me go, but I�m not.� Renee hugged him from behind, comforting him as if he were a child. �I went to a fortune teller earlier, and they said that we�re soulmates, and we�ll spend the rest of our lives together. So stop acting like you�re trying to push me away. You might just bawl your eyes out if I actually leave.�
Jovan�s eyes started reddening as he choked on his tears. �I know you�re just saying that to make me an feel better, but that was really good!�
Before, he had never even dreamed that Renee would care for him this much. This was once again indefinite proof that his sacrifice was absolutely worth it.
�Actually, I feel like I�ve got everything I wanted and more after receiving such love and care from you. If you really want to leave, I won�t resent you. You don�t have to feel pressured to stay,� Jovan said truthfully.
�I don�t, I�� Renee�s eyes were blank, her heart as calm as still water. �Six months ago, I handed Stefan to Murphy and Francine after the surgery. I had them tell him a white lie, saying that I went on a world round trip with you. I never intended to go back to him.�
�Maybe I am just an insignificant stranger to him now or a liar who broke her promise. He forgot about me anyway, and he found a woman he truly loves. So what can a short visit even change at this point?�
Jovan clenched his fists silently, filled with guilt towards Renee. He could never bring himself to tell her that he was the reason Stefan even forgot about her. He didn�t choose to forget her at all.
�If Renee found out about this one day, she probably won�t ever forgive me��
A few days later, the refrigerator was about to run out of food.
�I�ll go buy some groceries downtown. Our neighbor will accompany you for now, okay?�
After giving Jovan a few reminders, Renee grabbed a tote bag and went out, cycling through the morning. JrNovels.com
