Since Jovan couldn’t see, she behaved morefortable around him.


    “Then why change clothes?” Jovan’s expression seemed uneasy as he pursued the question.


    “Well… Because my clothes were dirty.” Renee told a white lie, not revealing her encounter with


    Stefan. Otherwise, being the jealous prick he was, Jovan would certainly overthink.


    “You’re lying.” Jovan frowned, obviously aggravated. “You said that you would never lie to me, but now


    you’re treating me like a fool!”


    Renee realized that the man must know something. After all, many people came and went from the


    hospital. Being an old acquaintance there, it was inevitable that someone would end up telling him


    some kind of information.


    “You say I lied to you, then tell me, what did I lie to you about?” the woman asked carefully.


    “Dr. David told me about the drowning incident around theke. You jumped to save a life, so you’re


    changing because your clothes are wet, not that they’re dirty!” Jovan replied seriously.


    Renee felt relieved and responded. “That’s right, I lied, but I just didn’t want you worrying. That Dr.


    David sure has a loud mouth. Looks like we have to change hospitals, or I’d have no privacy at all.”


    She did intend to transfer Jovan to another hospital before this conversation. Now that Seraphina and


    Stefan were staying on the same floor, she was bound to bump into them again.


    Jovan was quite a sensitive person, after all, and he might end up causing amotion if he were to


    find out.


    “This matter can’t be solved just by transferring hospitals. You haven’t even realized the main problem


    here!” Jovan seemed so oddly serious that Renee found him unfamiliar.


    “What is the main problem then?”


    “You’re not treating me as your closest, most trusted person!”


    “How… did youe to that conclusion? We are dependent on each other now, is that not considered


    close and trustworthy enough?”


    “I’m being serious here!” Jovan was truly mad this time, emphasizing his words to Renee with a frown.


    “If you treated me as your closest, most trusted person, you would have shared this matter with me


    first! You hid the truth from me just because you didn’t want me to worry. But be honest. You just think


    I’m too weak to face the outside world! That I need to be taken care of… I may be useless, but I am still


    a man with pride! Do you think I’d be happy about this?”


    “I really didn’t think this through.” Renee sincerely apologized. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know that you would


    care so much about these little details. I promise you that in the future if there is anything, I will share it


    with you first, and I’ll never hide anything from you.”

    “If you really feel sorry, then tell me, is there anything else you’re hiding from me?” Jovan asked the


    woman intently.


    “I…” Renee paused and carefully observed the man’s expression. She was not sure if the man was


    deliberately testing her reaction.


    ‘Does he already know about me meeting Stefan?’ She wondered.


    “Is it so hard to answer?” Jovan chuckled coldly. “It looks like you really are hiding something from me.”


    “I don’t mean that, I…”


    “Didn’t you just say that you wanted to transfer me to a hospital? I agree.” Jovan sighed deeply. “We


    have too many acquaintances here. There’s too much gossip spreading about. I prefer to go to a ce


    where no one knows us so that we can live with ease.”


    “Right, I think so too. Then I’ll go through with the transfer procedure now.”
