Chapter 1032

Renee nodded and obediently took the medicinal cream from the nightstand.

At the time, she was still unable to determine if Stefan was pretending to have forgotten her or if he really had. However, none of that was important—her main goal was to help him recover. She just wanted happiness for him. Anything else was… insignificant.

“Mr. Hunt, please lie down. I will be changing your bandages now,” Renee requested of Stefan, who was still acting all lovey-dovey. She then slowly squeezed out the thick cream into her palm.

Since this wasn’t the first time she took care of the man, she was especially familiar with such procedures.

First, she had to unbutton his shirt and undo the gauze bandages around his torso. After that, she had to spread the cream on both her palms and gently smear it all over his wounds.

“Thank you.” Stefan didn’t refuse or felt embarrassed, immediately laying down as told. His tall perfect figure looked as if it were an artifact being displayed in a museum.

Seraphina quickly came forth to stop her the moment Renee tried to undress the man. “I’ll help him out with this. Letting an outsider like you do this would be inappropriate.”

Renee raised a brow, seemingly nonchalant. “Whatever.”

With that, Seraphina helped Stefan unbutton his shirt.

As soon as Renee laid eyes on the man’s chest, her heart tightened when she noticed the several cuts all over.

‘No wonder he resents me so much. I was the one who caused him harm! I totally deserve any punishment coming for me, even if he wanted to skin me alive!’

“Hey, uh, hang in there. This medicine will sting a little.” Renee choked back on her tears, her vision blurring. She then lowered her gaze and smeared the cream onto his torn wounds with her finger.

“Mmh!” Stefan groaned from the pain, furrowing his brows.

“What are you doing?! You’re such a klutz! You hurt my boyfriend!” Seraphina pushed Renee away and gave her a stern lecture. “Don’t bother changing his bandage if you don’t know how! And don’t even think about seducing him! Everyone knows you should use cotton swabs, but you’re using your fingers!

I know exactly what you’re trying here!”

Renee bit her lower lip to suppress her anger, glaring back coldly. “I know what I’m doing, okay? Cotton swabs are too rough, and using fingers will ensure minimal pain!”

“Isn’t… Isn’t that just bullsh*t?! All the nurses used cotton swabs. You clearly have ulterior motives!”

“Hah, don’t make me laugh! Do you think I need to resort to such methods with how important I am to him?” Renee replied straightforwardly. “You, on the other hand, are so afraid that someone might steal your boyfriend away. Is it because you got him through certain methods? Is that why you’re feeling so guilty?”

“It’s not like that at all! Shut up!” Seraphina howled angrily. After all, Renee’s words pierced her heart in every way, especially since it was all true.

Just as the two were about to fight, Renee suddenly noticed something was off with Stefan’s condition.

Cold sweat was dripping from his forehead, and his limbs were spasming uncontrollably.

“Wait, stop! We have to check him!” Renee yelled at Seraphina.
