Chapter 1090
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âThis is great! Do you know how long weâve waited for this day? Thank you, God, for showing us this miracle!â Francine wailed as she hugged Stefan.
âSon, you must have suffered so much lately! Itâs all my fault for letting those bad people bring you harm! Letâs focus on living our best lives now, okay?!â Alexander sobbed as he wiped his tears.
âIâm sorry for worrying all of you.â Stefan coughed gently, his handsome face expressing solemnity.
He scanned his surroundings as if he was hoping to meet the person he longed to see all this while.
However, only his family and friends were there, and he spotted no unfamiliar face.
âWhat are you looking for, son?â Francine quickly asked, noticing that he was spacing out.
âIâ¦â Stefan groaned and asked, âWasnât I in Greenwood Sanatorium? Who sent me here?â
âWellâ¦â Francine and Alexander shared a glance, not certain if they should reveal the truth.
Seraphina held his hand and kissed him gently. âOh silly, Uncle Alexander, Aunt Francine, and I did!
We even thanked Mr. Walker and the rest of the staff. Theyâd all been through hell just to take care of you, after all.â
âJust Mr. Walker and the staff?â
âWho else could it be?â Seraphina lied without batting an eye. âWe discussed with Mr. Walker and found a great doctor to help you regain your sight! I still canât believe it really worked!â
âBut I rememberâ¦â Stefan furrowed his eyebrows, feeling inexplicably disappointed. âI remember someone else taking care of me. She was also the one whoâs been frantically looking for a cure for my eyes too.â
âOh, I know. You must be talking about Miss Everheart, right? â Seraphina knew that she couldnât hide this from him no matter how much she wanted to, so she mentioned the woman voluntarily.
âWhere is she?â Stefanâs eyes lit up slightly, asking enthusiastically.
âIf I remember correctly, we made a promise to each other that day. I had to get a good look at her once I regained my sight.â
Such anticipation was exactly why he was finally motivated to cooperate with their treatment methods.
He had held this newfound hope deep within his heart, hoping to see her once he opened his eyes.
And yet⦠She wasnât here.
âShe went on a round-the-world trip with Jovan. They got into a big fight, but they made up not long ago. Now their love for each other is as sweet as honey!â Seraphina exclaimed nonchalantly âA round-the-world trip?â The manâs expression darkened.â Were they in such a hurry?â
âWe made a promise that Iâd get to finally meet her once my eyes get better! But now she just left without even saying goodbye!â
Renee Everheart, you liar!â
Francine and Alexanderâs expressions stiffened. They seemed to have something to say but stopped themselves in the end.
âSon, itâs an amazing thing that you regained your vision, so stop thinking about such negativity. You just need to know that everyone who loves you is here. Just act like you slept for a very long time, and now youâre awake. Everythingâs fine now!â Francine comforted him, her heart aching.
âYeah, you merely woke up from slumber. Youâre okay now. Stop thinking about those insignificant people. Weâll be here for you, supporting you, always.â Seraphina hugged the man, speaking as if she was trying to brainwash him.
âAlright.â Stefan nodded, not allowing himself to think any further.
