Chapter: 1666
"Stefan, what do you mean? Did Renee do this to you?" Francine had opened the door and come in, and when she heard his words, she dropped the bowl of chicken soup in her hands.
Seraphina immediately went to Francine and held the latter's arms, complaining.
"Madam Francine, hurry up and talk some sense into Stefan. That woman nearly killed him, but he wants to call off our marriage for her. My family and I will be greatly embarrassed. Please do something!"
�Oh, stop crying. Leave this to me..."
Francine patted Seraphina's shoulders and comforted the latter gently.
Looking solemn, she walked up to Stefan.
"Were you telling the truth? Did that woman do this to you?"
"Yes, she did... but I deserved it."
"You're even defending her!" Francine massaged her temples, feeling her blood
pressure rising.
When she recalled Stefan and Renee's relationship, she felt even more stressed.
"It's been so many years. Do you want her to harm you even more? She blinded you and nearly killed you. Both Seraphina and I nurtured you as if you were a baby and helped you get better, but she nearly killed you again!" Francine�s voice was getting louder.
"Do you have any idea what the doctor said? Your neck cartilage is severely injured, which hurts your vocal cords. If she had used even a bit more force, you wouldn't be able to speak anymore. What's more, your brain was in severe hypoxia when you were rushed to the hospital. You were in a state of shock, and you would have been dead if you arrived any later... Do you even realize how wicked Renee is? Why are you so stubborn?" For the past few years, Francine had suffered greatly and was now exhausted.
She didn't want to have anything to do with the Everheart family, but it seemed like she still couldn't avoid them.
"I'm just reaping what I sowed. I wronged her first, and she was being generous by letting me live," Stefan explained hoarsely.
He could not tell Francine the truth.
"You're out of your mind! Clearly, she's stolen your heart again." Francine sighed exasperatedly and said firmly,
"Anyway, you can't cancel your marriage with Seraphina. It has to be carried out accordingly. A fortune teller told me that you and Seraphina are a great match, and that our families will prosper if you both marry. In short..." At the beginning of last year, Renee left Beach City and Stefan had woken up.
After that, Francine went to Ninth Mountain to meet a legendary fortune teller to ask about her son.
Francine had actually asked the fortune teller about the compatibility between Stefan and Renee before she looked into the compatibility between Stefan and Seraphina. JrNovels.com
