Stefan�s gaze changed a bit before he asked coldly, �Which of your sins do you want to atone for?�

�Don�t you remember how you turned blind? How did you fall and hurt all over that you needed brain surgery?�

�I��

Stefan frowned deeply. Various scenes emerged in his mind and flashed by quickly, but he could not make up a complete picture. Quietly, he said, �I heard from my mother that I turned blind because I was plotted against by my enemies. I did lose a part of my memory. Could it be that this part of memory is related to you?�

He hugged his head with both hands and tried his best to recall something. But there seemed to be a thin thread in his brain, tying down that part of memory that he had lost. Whenever he tried to recall it, intense pain would shock his brain.

�Don�t force yourself if you can�t recall. That�s not a beautiful memory, and I�m not a good person. Groundless hatred doesn�t exist, let alone groundless love.�

Renee�s comment carried an air of unmistakable haughtiness.

She would rather he forget all about her or hated her instead of loving her while being unable to be with her.

It was because she knew more than anyone else how painful it was if one�s love was unrequited. She would be the only one to suffer through that pain. It was unnecessary to implicate him.

However, Stefan shook his head vigorously and tried his best to keep calm. He then grabbed her wrist and scoffed coldly. �I don�t want to be a fool. Since there�s no groundless love or hatred in this world, I wonder if I am fated to receive such treatment from you. What other reason could you have?�

�So, what if I tell you? If I said that you became blind because of me, will you take your revenge? If you want to, you can do it now. My eyes are here. You can take them away.�

Renee closed her eyes with a bitter expression. Like an inmate on death row, she waited for his final adjudication.

Stefan observed her flawless face that was filled with stories. He did not believe a single word she said.

�That�s impossible. If you wanted to harm me, why risk your life to save me? It�s contradictory!�

�It was because I regretted it. I was afraid that your family would take revenge on me. Do you believe me now?�

�Why did you want to harm me then? What happened between us? Why risk getting avenged? Are you doing this to hurt me?�

�I don�t know. I don�t know anything. Let me go!�

Renee almost gave up in front of him.

He was indeed very talkative and hard to fool.

If she knew that he would pester her, she would never come out to chat with him, no matter what.

For a moment, awkwardness engulfed them.

�It�s late. I�m going to rest and leave you to your thoughts.�

Renee forcefully pushed his hand away and got up to leave.

�I won�t let you go if you don�t make it clear.�

Stefan held her wrist. His voice was full of pain. �To be honest, these doubts have been troubling me for half a year. I�m going to marry my fiancee soon. If I don�t make it clear, I�ll feel that I�ve wronged her.� JrNovels.com
