“No, it’s fine.” Jovan sounded gloomy and pathetic. An existence like this made him wonder if he was


    still alive, and he had no courage to meet Renee again. He sighed and said lightly, “I decided to leave


    her to set her free, and I don’t regret it.”


    Knowing Renee’s character, she would not say no if he wanted to use her guilt to make her take care of


    him for the rest of his life. She would’ve readily abandoned her brother she had just been reunited with,


    her children, and her career half a year ago to lead a secluded life with him in Varangia, if Jovan had


    asked.


    During those six months, she took care of him as if he was a baby and neverined. Jovan felt it


    was enough; in his opinion, it had been more than worth it giving up his eyes and body in exchange for


    having her by his side for that time. Those memories were something he looked back on fondly, and he


    couldn’t ask for more.


    However, Eloise couldn’t figure out why the smart, sensitive, andpetitive Jovan had be so


    passive.


    “You haven’t forgotten about Miss Everheart, Master Jovan. Why don’t you just give it a try? What if


    she still thinks about you?


    What if she’ll be surprised to see you, and decides she wants to spend the rest of her life with you?”


    Eloise refused to give up persuading him because she knew how miserable he was living like this.


    ‘I wouldn’t want that even if she does.” Jovan chuckled bitterly and said,’ Any man with dignity wouldn’t


    want to live like useless trash in front of their beloved.” Even though he had been cunning and devious


    in the past to get what he wanted, as a man, he couldn’t abandon his dignity.


    “Ah, Master Jovan… Everyone says that you’re wicked and cunning but you’re actually a caring and


    loyal man. Yes, they say Stefan is honest and righteous, the superior heir of Hunt Group, but I find him


    to be very hypocritical. He isn’t righteous at all!”


    “Hmph, what would you know?” Jovan was amused.


    “I know. Miss Everheart sacrificed a lot for him. She married him and had his children but he betrayed


    her and wanted to marry Miss Seraphina instead. Only a man without a conscience can do that!”


    “There are a lot of things you don’t know,” Jovan said wearily.


    ‘No, I do know things! Although I’m a maid, I’m no fool. You’d rather give up your eyes and body to be a


    disabled person to ease


    Miss Everheart’s mind, but what about Stefan? He only values profit, so his love can’t bepared to


    yours at all!”


    “So what?” Jovan’s deep-set eyes were nk and listless. “It’s not like you can ovee everything


    with love.”


    “I’ll stop if you don’t want to win her over, but Miss Everheart has been seriously injuredtely. She


    can’t take care of you either…”

    “What did you say?” Instantly, Jovan’s body tensed and he asked urgently,” When and how did she get


    hurt? Is it serious? Why didn’t you tell me?”


    ‘I… I…” It had been a long time since Eloise had seen Jovan this agitated. Frightened, she swallowed


    and answered, “I thought that it might affect your mood, so I decided to inform you only after I got more


    information about it…”


    “What happened? Tell me!” Jovan demanded coldly as he clenched his fists. Renee was the only light


    in his dark world, and he couldn’t bear it if anything happened to her.


    ‘I heard it was an activity organized by her kids’ kindergarten. She fell off a high tform and hurt her


    lower back… But I don’t know the specifics because that’s all I heard on the news.
