Chapter 1342
Enter title…
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 bewitch 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 you 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
