At night, Eloise left the room Renee was in, which was actually the basement of the manor. The manor was built on high ground, so sunlight could still get in from the window, but the people living upstairs couldn�t hear anything from the basement because they were three stories above it. That was why Jovan had no idea that he had been living under the same roof as Renee for the past three days.

The moon was shining brightly on that cold night, and Jovan was sitting at the manor�s balcony, feeling the cool breeze on his face.

As always, sadness weighed deep in his bones, and time seemed to have stood still during these days without light. The only way he could tell if it was morning or night was by the wind that blew through the manor.

�It�s getting late, Mr. Hunt, and it�s quite cold tonight. Should I help you back to your room to rest?� Eloise placed a blanket on Jovan and suggested tenderly.

�Let me sit here for a little longer,� Jovan murmured and raised his face to the sky.

�Can you tell me if it�s a full moon today?�

�It is, and the moon is shining bright.�

�It�s a shame I didn�t watch the moon more before I lost my sight.� Jovan sighed regretfully, thinking back on all the things he had lost.

Sadness engulfed Eloise at the sight of Jovan, and tears silently rolled down her cheeks. �You�ve changed so much because of that woman, Mr. Hunt. You weren�t this pessimistic in the past��

�No, I didn�t change because of her. This is how I am, and I just became more like myself after I met her.� Jovan�s blank gaze seemed to soften at the mention of Renee.

�You�re wrong!� Eloise argued frustratedly, �You once said that love was the most meaningless thing in the world, that it would only tie you down and weaken you! You had actually defeated Stefan back then, and if you had just been more ruthless, you would have been heading Hunt Enterprise, but� you became a fool for that woman, and gave up your blood and eyes to Stefan. He�s out and about now, but we have to cower in a corner and lick our wounds. Even something simple like looking at the moon is unobtainable, and it just makes me so mad!�

Jovan slowly clenched his fists, unable to deny it. Eloise was right-in the past, he was rational and never let love blind him. In fact, he used to laugh at all those lovestruck fools, feeling that they would amount to nothing because they gave up so much for the sake of love.

Unexpectedly, he had now become the very person he had once despised.

�Would you make the same choice if you were given a second chance, Mr. Hunt?� Eloise asked carefully.

�I don�t know,� Jovan replied honestly. �People will only do stupid things for love once in their lives. I�ve already done it, and I don�t know whether I would do it again if given the chance. Who knows? Maybe I�d become a villain and defeat Stefan so I could make Renee mine. Haha!� Jovan chuckled, knowing that was how he used to be.

He had no idea why he had chosen to save Stefan back then, willingly throwing himself into this endless abyss just to give Renee peace of mind.

�Umm� Would you be willing to try if you had the chance?� Eloise continued slowly.

�What do you mean?� Jovan frowned and turned to her.

�I�ve been keeping something from you lately. Your parents and I were looking for suitable eyes for you all over the world, and recently, we just found a pair. If you�d like, we can arrange the transplant for you,� Eloise explained.

She had to get his consent for the surgery, because if he disagreed, everything would be pointless. He was different now, so Eloise and Jovan�s parents didn�t know if he would agree to such a drastic change. JrNovels.com
