"Dang, your face is smooth as usual. How can you have better skin than most women? I'm honestly impressed!"

Renee murmured appreciatively as she touched the man's face.

Stefan normally would act like a ferocious beast, refusing to allow anyone into his heart. Yet now, he just seemed

like a tame little kitten, and wouldn’t fight back no matter how she caressed him.

Just as she was getting addicted to it, Stefan suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up, pinning Renee under him in

the blink of an eye.

His long, slender fingers wrapped around the woman's neck harshly. As he continued tightening his grip, he

growled, "I'm a weakling to you, huh? And you could just shove me into a bag after knocking me out, huh?! You

damned woman, how dare you?!"

"You...!" Renee coughed and choked. Her lovely neck looked rather fragile, as if one could snap it if they used just a

little force.

The man was using so much of his strength that it was starting to suffocate her. Her face was flushing dark red, and

she was unable to utter a single word. Truthfully, her martial skills were more than enough to deal with Stefan, who

was heavily injured at the time. However, she did not resist, and was instead quite happy to see the man's

aggressive state since it showed that he was still willing to fight for himself.

As long as he refuses to admit defeat, there is a possibility that he'll get better!'

"Tell me... What is your purpose?!" Stefan demanded an answer coldly as he let go of her, just as she was about to

take her last breath. It seemed that he had given up on the idea of murdering the woman.

Renee immediately gasped for air, and the redness in her cheeks faded. She then burst into genuine laughter.

"See? That's more like it! Stefan Hunt, the CEO of H Group, the ruler of Beach City, is back!"

'Are you mad? I almost killed you. Were you not afraid at all? " Stefan pulled his brows together, his bright orbs

staring at her blankly. His appearance was hauntingly beautiful. He had initially been confused, and the woman's

laughing only made him feel more suspicious.

'Of course not! Because I know you wouldn't kill me, and I would never do the same to you. I don't have any agenda

against you." Renee took a deep breath and stared at the man lovingly, hoping she could freeze this moment

forever.

The warm lighting made his perfectly sculpted face appear much more softer, the few strands of hair hanging in

front of his forehead only enhancing his elegance further.

Renee slowly reached out and patted his shadow on the wall, pretending it was him. She even tried to 'help' brush

his hair back.

"That's why you should tell me what your purpose is." Stefan frowned deeply, still questioning her. He didn't lack

common sense or empathy, so he was able to feel the silent kindness this woman was showing him.

If she had truly wanted to kill him, she had many chances to do so throughout the night. Instead, she brought him

to a high-end sanatorium, and insisted on curing him. Such' kindness' was making him feel even more uneasy than

the possibility of her wanting to kill him right then and there.

After all, people normally wouldn't do such grand favors for free, and he doubted that she didn't want anything

from him.

"Simple, I just want to help you regain your sight, and give you a second chance at a normal life," Renee replied

clearly.
