“Oh, yeah, it’s you, Joan! I can finally see properly. Hey old friend!” The two were especially friendly
with her.
Nearly everyone in the hospital knew who Renee was, as she had been frequenting the ce with
Jovan for his medical treatments and checkups. Hence, all of them were familiar with each other by
now.
The woman then continued to talk to them for a bit. With that, not only did she find out where
Seraphina’s surgery was ongoing, she even found out which hotel they were currently staying at in the
town.
“I’m going to check up on Van now. Bye, guys!” Renee nodded softly at the nurses and left the stairway
once she was done smoking.
Initially, she was going to head back to Jovan’s ward, but her body walked toward the operating rooms
unconsciously.
She hid around the corner, peeking out of the wall carefully. She quickly noticed Stefan, who was
standing by the doors.
He was still wearing the casual white dress shirt she had seen in the morning. However, it was now
drenched in blood, as were his hands. It was obvious that he had been standing guard the entire time,
sparing no time to clean himself up.
She could tell that he was quite concerned about Seraphina, seeing how he was pacing back and forth
with a tense expression.
It had likely been six hours since he brought Seraphina to the hospital. This meant he hadn’t rested or
consumed anything for the past few hours…
‘This guy! He only recovered six months ago, and now he’s endangering his health again! Damn it, I’m
worried for him!’
Renee pondered as she bit down on her lip and headed downstairs to a nearby restaurant she
frequented. She then decided to buy a serving of seafood dumplings.
From what she remembered, despite not liking Aeos cuisine, Stefan was rather fond of dumplings,
especially seafood ones. She believed he would gain an appetite as soon as he smelt those.
Stefan was still panicking in front of the operating rooms. Time crawled by, and until midnight, there
was still no news on Seraphina’s condition.
“Damn it! This is all my fault! This is my fault!”
If he hadn’t bought that mug for Seraphina, she wouldn’t have ended up in a car crash.
This was supposed to be a lovely honeymoon, as they had already chosen the most romantic city for
their grand wedding. Unexpectedly, they were met with an ident at their very first stop.
He couldn’t possibly imagine what he would do if something bad were to happen to Seraphina. He
wouldn’t know what to tell her parents at all.
‘Seraphina had been through so many hard times with me. I can’t lose her!’
Just then, a nurse came over and gently patted him on the shoulder. “Mr. Hunt, the surgery is going to
take a while. I noticed you have been waiting a long time, and you must be hungry. Here are some
dumplings.”
Stefan turned around and stared at the bowl of dumplings, his heart warming up at the sight. Receiving
traditional food in a foreign country during such a dark time was rather meaningful.
“Thank you. Did you make this?”
Despite Stefan’s cold nature, he couldn’t possibly maintain his hostility when faced with such kindness.
“Uhm…” The nurse looked rather uneasy, replying. “Our hospital provides these for… our Aeos
patients, and it’s our hope that you can taste something from home and rx a little.”
“Thanks.” Stefan took the dumplings and opened the lid without hesitation. He then quickly scarfed
them down, as he was indeed feeling rather famished at the time.
“It tastes great.” The man nodded, a lump forming in his throat.
This bowl of dumplings had truly hit him right where he was weak. As he remembered, he had never
told anyone that the only Aeos dish he liked were dumplings, specifically seafood dumplings.

Yet the hospital here was providing him with his very favorite. ‘I guess… This world is very kind…’
