Renee gradually became nervous. She held her breath and slowly walked to Stefan’s ward. She then gently opened
the door.
The luxurious ward was spacious and clean. A light relaxing fragrance lingered in the air.
Stefan was lying flat on the hospital bed with his eyes tightly closed. His long and thick eyelashes lit up under the
light of the orange lamp on the bedside cabinet. They even cast mottled shadows on his face.
He had suffered a severe fall. His head was wrapped in a thick bandage, and his left arm and right leg were in
casts. He appeared like a mannequin that was torn apart and reassembled. He looked in an extremely sorry state.
Renee became speechless.
At the same time, her eyes instantly became watery. Stinging tears blocked her vision.

injuries were just like deep shackles, and they oppressed her so much that she could not catch her breath.
‘You silly man! You’re a smart and rational person. Why did you sacrifice so much for me?
‘I owe you so much now. I’m afraid I can’t even repay you even if I pay with my life.’
Stefan fell into a sound sleep, so he did not notice that Renee was right beside him. He might be in a bad dream,
given that he furrowed his brows slightly. His handsome and cold face appeared to be in pain.
“Silly man, you’re sleeping, but you’re still on guard. Can’t you relax a little?”
Renee dragged over a chair and sat beside his bed, staring at his charming face greedily. After that, she inevitably
extended her hand to gently rubbed his furrowed brows. Her slim fingertips were rather warm.
She wished that he could be happy and relaxed. Even while dreaming, she wanted to see him happy.
That was what she mentioned to Margaret. It was the thing she was about to do.
It was true that it was destined she had to leave him. But before leaving, she wanted to come up with ways to cure
him. She decided to heal both his body and mind.
Her decision was against her brother’s wishes, so she could not let her brother learn about it.
This decision might very likely push her into an abyss, but she would not retreat.
It was because she had to be worthy of the love Stefan held for her. She wanted to leave without owing him
anything.
Stefan was a very vigilant person. After he got seriously injured, his vigilance grew.
The touch on his brows jolted him from his dream. He grabbed Renee’s wrist and said in an extremely tender
manner, “You. I finally caught you. You can’t leave now!”

“Wha…”
She did not expect him to be so vigilant. He woke up just with the lightest of touches. Consequently, her mind went
blank because she did not know what she should do.
He stared at her with his deep-set eyes. They were as dazzling as the stars and as vast as the ocean. He then
continued to say gently, “You know what? I was running a nightmare. I dreamed that I fell from a high place and hit
my head against a rock. My head bled vigorously, and my limbs were torn apart from the fall. I wanted to
reassemble my limbs, but they were so broken that no matter how I tried, they wouldn’t stick to me. After that, a
halo appeared before me. It was so dazzling that I couldn’t stare straight at it. A woman’s figure was in the middle
of the halo. I guessed that must be you…”
Renee was at a loss for words.
She pursed her lips in silence.
Stefan’s eyes appeared so energetic, so she could not tell if he was blind.
“I thought I must have fallen to hell, but I knew that I was in heaven the moment I saw the figure in the halo. My
heaven is where’d you be…”
