Chapter 1037
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
That day, Renee had just finished brewing some medicinal tea. She pushed open the door to Stefanâs ward.
Inside were Seraphina and Stefan, cuddling each other lovingly. The two looked glued to the hip, unwilling to separate at all.
âSeraphina, I thought about it. Letâs get married once I get discharged!â Stefan said, his arms wrapped around her and his chin placed on top of her head.
His expression seemed longing. âI hope we can have our wedding in Tahato, I hear they have the bluest seas and the softest sand. Since you love the sea so much, that will be the most suitable place for our wedding.â
Seraphinaâs blissful expression was instantly replaced with fear. âMarrying right after youâve recovered?! Isnât that⦠too soon?â
âBesides, when have I ever said I liked the sea?â
âI hate it! Itâs too sunny out, itâs boring as heck, and itâs the worst when it gets too windy!â
âHow is that too soon?â Stefanâs face turned serious. âI love you so much that I want to put a ring on you right away. I donât want to waste any more time.â
âYou love me a lot, too, right? We jumped into the lake and experienced life and death together. Why wouldnât we marry each other after all that? What are we waiting for?â
âYou⦠Youâre right.â Seraphina nodded with guilt, her gaze slightly conflicted as she turned to look at Renee.
Supposedly, she had won this war of love, but she couldnât help but find her methods unworthy of this relationship. She was terrified that Stefan might regain his memories one day, and everything she had now⦠would be nothing more than a shattered dream.
âWell, no matter what, youâre mine! So donât you dare try to run away!â Stefan said as he lifted her chin, kissing her lips passionately. The atmosphere within the room quickly turned bashful and steamy.
Renee was speechless. She always thought that she had great resilience, but seeing the man she loved kiss another woman so deeply was unbearable.
Her heart was crushed, causing her fingers to tremble uncontrollably.
Crash!
The cup of medicinal tea fell to the ground once she lost her grip. It was soon shattered into pieces, with the tea splattering all over the floor.
âWho goes there?â Stefan let go of Seraphina unwillingly, speaking in the direction of the noise in a cold voice. âDonât you think itâs rude to pry?â
âIâm sorry, Iâm here to give you your medicine. I didnât mean to disturb.â Renee had no choice but to explain herself.
Seraphina was furious, shooting her a dirty glare. âDidnât I tell you to knock before entering?â
She was afraid that Stefan would notice Reneeâs existence. Even just a single cough from Renee made her feel as if she was threatened with grave danger.
âIâm sorry. Iâll be more careful next time. Uhm⦠Please continue. Iâll brew a new cup of tea.â Renee knelt down, trying her best to keep the lump in her throat down.
She then cleaned the shards up, feeling quite bad after seeing the pool of tea around her.
Margaret had specifically come up with this recipe for them. Moreover, it took around five hours for her to brew such a small cup of tea too. Now that it was spilled, it was a shame that she had to take another few couple of hours to brew another.
âNo need!â Seraphina scowled in disdain. What kind of medicine even is this? It stinks, and itâs not prescribed by the doctor. I canât say for sure that itâs proper medication, so I wouldnât dare to let Stef try it.â
âThis medicine was prescribed by a famous doctor who specializes in major injuries! Look, I got injured on the same day he did, but mine are almost healed! All thereâs left are scabs!â Renee was worried that Seraphina might stop her from giving Stefan the medicine and quickly lifted her sleeves, showing her the wounds.
âIs it that good?â
Although Seraphina didnât like Renee, she was still quite interested, hearing that the medicine was so effective that it could heal Stefan rapidly.
âMhm! Touch it if you must!â Renee enthusiastically brought her injured arm to Seraphina, allowing her to inspect it thoroughly as if she were trying her best to sell a product.
âOkay, okay, I get it. If itâs so good, then go make another cup then.â
