Chapter 1038

Seraphina immediately tried chasing Renee away.

Stefan, who was silent the entire time, furrowed his brows as he spoke frostily. “You got injured the same day I did?”

“Uhm…” Renee froze, her expression stiff.

‘Sh*t, I misspoke.’

“How did you get hurt?” The man continued questioning.

“I… I tripped and fell by accident.” Renee came up with a simple excuse and rushed out of the room.

She actually didn’t intend for him to notice her. She wanted to do as promised. She acted like she was mute and only took care of him quietly. She only wanted to see him recover fully and leave with no regrets.

However, she knew that it would now be difficult for her to hide away, especially with her previous mess up…

“She left?” Stefan seemed rather disappointed.

“What? Did you not want to leave? And you just said you love me so much you wanted to marry me right away!” Seraphina huffed out of jealousy, feeling quite anxious.

She then wrapped her arms around the man’s neck and voluntarily kissed him on the lips. “She’s gone anyway, so stop thinking about her. Focus on me instead.”

Stefan responded to her advances, seemingly unfocused, as he no longer returned her passion. His mind lingered on that ‘attendant.’

Renee proceeded to stand guard at the kettle for four whole hours, only to have made yet another small cup of tea.

While the tea was still steaming hot, she quickly dashed back to Stefan’s ward. Once again, Seraphina seemed threatened and signaled her to leave after placing the cup of tea down.

Renee shrugged and walked in without making a sound, placing the medicine gently, and intended to leave right away.

Stefan noticed the smell of medicinal tea and knew someone had come in. He immediately asked, “What is your name?”

Renee halted, not knowing if she should respond.

“Oh she’s just an attendant, why would you need to know her name?” Seraphina intertwined her fingers with him as if trying to assert dominance. She spoke in a sickeningly sweet tone as well. “I want you to only have eyes for me.”

She soon came to regret saying that, as she noticed Stefan’s expression turning extremely cold, as if someone had poured salt on his wounds.

“Hah, you’re overthinking things. I’m blind. How could I have eyes for anyone?”

“I… I don’t mean it like that. Please don’t misunderstand Stef, I…” Seraphina explained. “I just care about you too much. I don’t want anyone stealing you from me.”

These days, Stefan had shown her nothing but pure love and affection. He never yelled at her, let alone showed her such hostility.

She couldn’t bear seeing all his attention shift towards Renee when all she did was bring him medicine.

It was as if the man was under her spell.

“Who in their right mind would want to steal a blind man? Unless this person has other intentions from the start…” Stefan said, obviously trying to test Renee’s reaction. He then ‘looked’ in her direction as if he could sense her there.
