Stefan then recalled the past. He unconsciously clenched his fists. �What I hate the most is people who fail to keep their word. You promised to let me see you immediately after my eyes were cured. But you� went missing without leaving me a message. You�re so cruel and heartless. Of course, you should be given a hard scolding.�

�It was indeed my fault. I�ll apologize to you now. It�s not too late to scold me now.�

Renee lowered her eyes and humbly admitted to her mistake.

It seemed like she was destined to be scolded today, either by Jovan or Stefan. Well, she was mentally prepared.

�I can�t do that now.�

Stefan confessed honestly, �What I can think of now is how nice you were to me. Of course, I want to thank you. How can I bear to scold you?�

�No, I don�t think so. The way I treated you was� so-so.�

Renee became slightly dumbfounded.

The drastic change in his attitude filled her with trepidation.

�Is that so? But you stayed close to me to take care of me. You even risked your life to save me. And I know that you used your blood as a kind of ingredient for my medicine. Is that what you called so-so?�

Stefan�s gaze was simple, straightforward, and overbearing, coercing her little by little. �I don�t have anything else to say, but I�m very curious. Why did you treat me in such a special manner?�

Renee inevitably became nervous under his powerful and intense gaze. With a tinge of anticipation, she tried to sound him out and said, �Why do you think I treat you in a so-so manner?�

She did not know if he had regained his memories or purposely playing dumb here.

If that was true, his acting skills could have won him an Oscar. How perfect and exceptional!

�The only reason why a woman is willing to sacrifice unconditionally for a man is because she loves him too much. So, can I guess that you treat me in a special manner because you love me very much?�

Instead of beating around the bush, Stefan raised the question that had been troubling him for nearly half a year.

It was because the experience he had at Greenwood Sanatorium was indeed very unique. Even if he was slow, he could feel how deeply Renee cared about him.

Holding that kind of doubt, he returned to the sanatorium again afterward. It was also at that time he learned that she used her blood as an ingredient for his medicine. He became aware of her deep love for him.

However, he could not figure out the reason why she left without saying anything since she cared so much about him.

�Do I love you too much?�

Renee shook her head and teased, �Is there a possibility that I am the modern Florence Nightingale? I like to help people. What�s more, I don�t want to make it public even if I do anything good. It�s simply because I�m a good person, huh?�

�Don�t be all smiles here. There are many ways to be nice to people. What other reason could it be if you risk your life for someone else if it isn�t under the name of love?�

�Ha! Ha! Ha! Mr. Hunt, do you feel very lonely? Is that why you make a fuss and claim that others loves you? Have you ever thought of another possibility? If a woman sacrifices unconditionally for a man, perhaps it�s because she�s trying to atone for her sins.�

At first, Renee attempted to avoid his gaze, but now, her eyes turned fierce.

If he had to get to the bottom of it, she could only show him the disgusting past. She would make him see how wicked humans were and how cruel the reality was. JrNovels.com
