Three dayster, Renee woke up feeling like she was floating. "Stefan...


    Don''t go, Stefan!" She muttered, reaching out to grab something. Her hand closed on air, and she


    immediately woke up.


    "You''re finally awake!" Jovan shot to his feet in excitement beside her bed. He had been guarding


    Renee for three days. Renee was supposed to wake up two days ago after the surgery, but she had


    remained unconscious. The doctor had said that the consequences would be unimaginable if she did


    not wake up before dawn that day. Jovan had assumed that this was one of Briar''s schemes and had


    snapped at her, even threatening to kill her if anything happened to Renee. Fortunately, Renee had


    woken up in time.


    "Where am I?" Renee was in a daze, and could feel bandages on her eyes. The area around her eyes


    was hurting too, but it was the odd pain that felt like... there was something there.

    "You''re in a ward in the hospital," Jovan answered honestly, then added eagerly, "You had eye surgery


    three days ago, and you''re now recovering. You''ll soon be able to see again." "E-Eye surgery?" Renee


    stammered, shocked. "Was this the reason you were so busytely?" "Yeah!" Jovan shrugged


    helplessly. "I couldn''t watch you live in the dark since I''d taken your eyes. If not, I wouldn''t have ever


    had peace of mind." "I owed it to you, there was no need for you to feel guilty," Renee said casually.


    Surprisingly, she felt fine after learning that she had eye surgery. She didn’t look excited or eager,


    which confused Jovan.


    "You never owed anything to me-it was Stefan who did." Jovan frowned and stared at Renee, who


    looked unmoved. He asked carefully, "Are you unhappy?" "No, I''m happy. Thank you very much,”


    Renee said sincerely. She figured she would regain her eyesight one day because the people who


    loved her would not see her live in the dark forever. However, she had assumed it would be Stefan who


    would help her regain her eyesight. She had thought that the first person she''d see would be Stefan...


    but it turned out to be


    Jovan who had sacrificed a lot for her. Once her bandages were removed, he would probably be the


    first thing she saw too.


    "I told you that there''s no need to thank me. Don''t you know that it hurts me when you do that?" Jovan


    choked out, feeling disappointed and frustrated. He thought that this would make Renee let him into her


    heart, but she was treating him like a stranger. ’I care about you and want to see you cured. I''ve always


    dreamed of it, and I''m happier than you now that I''ve achieved it. So, maybe I should be the one


    thanking you."
