Chapter: 1767

�I can leave?� Renee turned to Lisa and asked in surprise.

�Of course! You�ve donated your eyes to our master, so we�ll do anything you want. If you want to leave, you can, but� I suggest you wait for a month until your injuries are healed to avoid any infection after the surgery. Plus, Mr. Jovan hasn�t woken up yet, and I�m sure he�ll want to thank you in person. It�ll be a waste if you leave now.�

�No, we can�t let him know that I was the one who donated the eyes to him.� Renee sounded firm. �I know him-he gave up his eyes to Stefan for me, and if he learns that I�ve given up my eyes for him, I don�t think he�ll accept it that easily. All of you have to keep it from him.�

�But your sacrifice will go to waste then!� Lisa protested. Eloise had warned Lisa not to say things like this, but Lisa felt that the situation was unfair for Renee. Renee had sacrificed so much, but she wouldn�t even get a thank you!

�This isn�t a sacrifice, it�s a repayment.� Renee forced a calm smile onto her face.

�Thank you for thinking about me, but this had to be done.�

Lisa pursed her lips and said reluctantly, �Okay, I�ll keep it a secret since you asked me to. Are you sure you want to leave now though? If you do, I�ll talk to Ms. Pierce for you. I think she�ll be okay with it.�

�There�s no rush.� A sigh escaped Renee.

�You said that Jovan is still in a coma, and we don�t know how he�ll feel when he wakes up. I think it�s better for me to sneak out after it�s proven that he can see again. That way, if anything happens in between, I can still help.�

�Oh, Ms. Everheart, you�re so kind! Even now, you�re worried about Mr. Jovan. You must love him a lot, don�t you?� Lisa smiled warmly and said, �Don�t worry-you�re the only one Mr. Jovan likes. Once he�s recovered, he can snatch Hunt Enterprise from Stefan, then he can take care of you and make it up to you.�

�Ugh, I didn�t think of that�� Renee groaned, just realizing that her actions would undoubtedly start internal conflict in Hunt Enterprise. Jovan was cunning and persistent, and he surely had been using this time to come up with ways to defeat Stefan. Stefan would be busy then, and maybe Renee would finally get the chance to retire since she had lost her sight.

She smiled bitterly. Even though she was in hell, she could still see the bright side of it.

Meanwhile, Stefan�s brain surgery was scheduled to start soon, and he had already changed into a surgical gown and entered the operating room.

Francine, Seraphina, and Elijah were waiting outside.

�Madam Francine, it�s not too late for us to stop the surgery. Stefan has just recovered, so it�ll be dangerous if something goes wrong during the surgery.� Seraphina glanced at the door of the operating room nervously as she tried to persuade Francine to stop the surgery.

Stefan would obey Francine, and she had the power to stop the surgery if she wanted to.

�I don�t want him to do this either, but he�s a stubborn man. He said he didn�t want to live in ignorance, and wanted to gain his lost memories�� Francine sighed and said, �I understand though. It�s better that he takes a risk for the sake of regaining his memories instead of living like a zombie. After all, he doesn�t even remember his two kids. What will happen as time goes on?�

Francine had given it much deliberation, and eventually decided to support him. Even though she was worried about the risks, she felt sorry for Abby and Adie. Their father hadn�t spent much time with them when they were young, and now, he had even forgotten about them. She really couldn�t see them suffer!

�So, you�ve made up your mind?� Seraphina turned to Francine, clenching her fists.

�No, it was Stef who made the decision, I just saw it through. It�s his life, so I can only respect his choices,� Francine said with a melancholic sigh. JrNovels.com
