Chapter 1342
After all, Seraphina had done something dishonorable with Stefan's brain surgery. She had replaced Renee in his
mind with her so she could win all his love. However, he was being so cruel to her now that she wondered if the
surgery had lost its effect.
"That was the past. Now I know for sure that you're not the one I like." Stefan's answer was blunt and honest, filling
her with despair.
Stefan's words might be cruel, but he could no longer lie to himself. He knew that she was not the type that could
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbewitch him, and he couldn't figure out how they fell so madly in love with each other in the past.
"If I'm not the one you like, then who is?" Seraphina choked on her tears, her eyes wild. "It's Renee, isn't it? She
charmed you the moment you saw her, and you changed your mind. Didn't you even consider that I only did it
because I love you? You forced me to do it!"
"Yes." Stefan nodded. "So I'll bear the consequences. You were the one who pulled off Quinton's oxygen mask, but it
was because of me. However, Renee wasn't cruel enough... She didn't kill me." When he chose to hide the truth and
protect Seraphina, he knew that he had inexplicably become her accomplice. He had been prepared to be killed by
Renee, and thought it would all be over but... 'Renee, you're too kind!'
"Stefan, what do you mean? Did Renee do this to you?" Francine had opened the door and come in, and when she
heard his words, she dropped the bowl of chicken soup in her hands.
Seraphina immediately went to Francine and held the latter's arms, complaining. "Madam Francine, hurry up and
talk some sense into Stefan. That woman nearly killed him, but he wants to call off our marriage for her. My family
and I will be greatly embarrassed. Please do something!"
"Oh, stop crying. Leave this to me..." Francine patted Seraphina's shoulders and comforted the latter gently.
Looking solemn, she walked up to Stefan. "Were you telling the truth? Did that woman do this to you?"
"Yes, she did... but I deserved it."
"You're even defending her!" Francine massaged her temples, feeling her blood pressure rising. When she recalled
Stefan and Renee's relationship, she felt even more stressed. "It's been so many years. Do you want her to harm
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou even more? She blinded you and nearly killed you. Both Seraphina and I nurtured you as if you were a baby
and helped you get better, but she nearly killed you again!"
Francine's voice was getting louder. "Do you have any idea what the doctor said? Your neck cartilage is severely
injured, which hurts your vocal cords. If she had used even a bit more force, you wouldn't be able to speak
anymore.
What's more, your brain was in severe hypoxia when you were rushed to the hospital. You were in a state of shock,
and you would have been dead if you arrived any later... Do
you even realize how wicked Renee is? Why are you so stubborn?" For the past few years, Francine had suffered
greatly and was now exhausted. She didn't want to have anything to do with the Everheart family, but it seemed
like she still couldn't avoid them.
