Chapter 1488

Suddenly, Renee found something amiss. She couldn’t feel the wind, but it didn’t feel like the wind had stopped. Rather, it felt like something was blocking the wind. Frowning, she asked hesitantly, “Margaret?”

Only silence greeted her.

Renee could hear someone’s rapid breathing, and felt their gaze on her skin. “You aren’t Margaret, are you?” Margaret wasn’t tall enough to be able to block out the breeze entirely, and she would have answered Renee by now. Also, this person smelled like grass, ambergris, and medical disinfectant. Finally, she realized who it was. Renee clenched her fists and asked coolly, “What are you doing here, Stefan?”

Stefan’s heartbeat quickened, and he stared at Renee’s eyes in disbelief. “Your… eyes?”

“You came at last.” Renee wasn’t surprised because Adie had warned her about Stefan’s desire to meet her. People usually needed around two weeks to recover after brain surgery, but he had come here in less than a week. His wound had probably just healed; this man was really taking his health too lightly.

“Tell me. What’s wrong… with your eyes?” Stefan demanded hoarsely. He could tell that there was something wrong with Renee’s eyes, but he refused to believe it. In his memory, she was perfect, and he couldn’t accept that her beautiful eyes were flawed.

“I’m the blind one here, not you. I’m sure you can tell what’s wrong with my eyes.” Renee took off her sunglasses, revealing her swollen eye sockets and the ghastly injuries around them.

“What? You… You…” Stefan’s large frame trembled as if he was having a terrible nightmare.

“Can you leave now that you know what’s wrong with me?” Renee put her sunglasses back on and smiled pleasantly. She knew that Stefan was a perfectionist, and even if he came here to get back together with her, he might give up after seeing her hollow eyes.

It was exactly what she wanted.

“I guess you’ve remembered who I am. Yes, we’ve wronged each other, but we’re even now. You can follow through with your plan and get married to Seraphina. You don’t have to feel burdened or guilty,” Renee said calmly.
