She had just promised not to hide anything from him again, yet she went on to conceal such a big issue. Anyone else would�ve been furious and disappointed, let alone a man like Jovan, who�d haggle over everything.

�You must be joking. Why should I scold you? I�m just a worthless piece of trash. I even have to rely on you to survive. What right do I have to scold you?� Jovan arrogantly spat as he kept his composure.

�Jovan, please don�t be so sarcastic. I didn�t tell you because I didn�t want to affect your mood. You know very well how petty you are. If I told you, you would flare up in a rage.�

Renee was dissatisfied with Jovan�s strange tone and complained about it without holding back.

Jovan raised both his hands in defeat and appeared slightly pitiful. �Look! I said only one thing, but you have so many excuses to retort to me. I don�t have the guts to scold you.�

�Err��

Renee was rendered speechless.

It seemed that she had indeed overreacted, and it had caused Jovan to appear slightly aggrieved and pitiful.

She immediately apologized, �I�m sorry. You can scold me now. I won�t talk back to you.�

Hearing that, Jovan became helpless. �All right, I meant it. I don�t have to scold you. It�s because you�re still destined to be with him. It�s an answer God provided you. Of course, you can�t be blamed.�

Renee was about to pack things up when Jovan stopped her.

�Don�t. I�m exhausted. I don�t want to move now.�

�Well, what should we do now?�

�What else can we do? Since you bumped into him, let nature takes its course. Go ahead if you want to get back together with him. I�m satisfied enough to have you take care of me for half a year. I have no regrets now.�

Jovan raised that remark with an undertone of grief.

�I told you that I won�t leave you. Don�t worry. Go to sleep. Nothing�s going to change even if I meet him again.�

Renee held his hand and promised firmly.

She knew what it meant to be grateful. Jovan agreed to save Stefan because of her. Given how Jovan turned out in the end, she felt she should be responsible.

It was not her style to throw something away casually after manipulating it.

Jovan finally fell asleep. Perhaps it was because he had gotten her promise.

Renee, on the other hand, tossed and turned in bed. She could not fall asleep no matter how she tried.

She got up from the bed and casually put on a coat, wanting to go out for some fresh air to calm herself down.

Unexpectedly, she saw Stefan leaning against the wall outside the ward as soon as she opened the door. The incandescent lamp in the corridor hit him, casting a long shadow on the floor.

Wearing a cold face, she kept quiet and was about to close the door when� JrNovels.com
