Renee''s unusual behavior had ruined Xavier''s n. Helpless, Xavier chose to be frank with her. "At


    first, I wanted to use a trick to make him appear, but it seems like it''s hard to fool you. It might not be


    that easy to fool him either, so... let’s just forget it!" He shook his head and watched the rain slow down,


    then stop. Sighing, he turned to Renee. "It''ste, let''s go home. Lei is worried sick about you, and is


    hoping you''lle back soon."


    Renee frowned hesitantly. "I don''t want to go back just yet... My messed up mental state will only


    trouble you all." "Where will you go then? Do you n on running from reality for the rest of your life?"


    Xavier had heard from Leia that Renee was depressed and wanted to be alone, and as her friend, it


    worried him.


    "There are some things you don''t understand..." Renee didn''t know how to exin her thoughts to


    Xavier. Carefully, she said, "Wounded animals will run away to heal on their own when they''re hurt... It''s


    the same with me. Don''t worry, I''ll be okay. Once I recover, I''lle back." "I understand. I won''t force


    you." Both Xavier and Leia had put themselves in Renee''s shoes. Although they were worried about


    her and wanted her near, they didn''t want to stress her out. "You can go anywhere you want, but just


    promise US that you''ll take care of your safety. Don''t go to dangerous ces or contact bad people..."


    Xavier paused, then got straight to the point. "I''ll be frank with you-l don''t think Jovan is a good person,


    and I don''t think you should spend time with him. If you do, I''m afraid you''ll be led astray."

    Renee chuckled. "Do you think I''m that kind of person who''s easily influenced? Even if it does happen,


    I''ll be the one who leads him astray. Although he''s not a good person, he''s not a bad one either. I


    regained my eyesight because of him, and his feelings for me aren''t lesser than that man''s in some


    aspects."


    As Stefan''s top fan, Xavier didn''t appreciate Renee''s words. "I disagree. Jovan is just a despicable man


    who makes matters worse, so how can he bepared to Stefan? You and Stefan have gone through


    so much, and Stefan sacrificed so much to save you. How could youpare a mean guy like Jovan


    to Stefan? Stefan hasn''t been gone for long, but you''ve already let that man in. If Stefan knew, he''d be


    very disappointed."


    Renee was calm as Xavier rebuked her, then scoffed, "I''ve never denied Stefan''s sacrifices for me, but


    this case is different. We can''t write off others'' sacrifices just because of his sacrifices, can we? Plus,


    whatever you think of Stefan is just your assumption. I''m sure you''ll realize that Stefan isn''t any nobler


    than Jovan once you see his dark side," Renee said frostily, recalling the photos Briar had shown her.


    She wasn''t a saint-it was impossible to not bear resentment against Stefan for sleeping with another


    woman while she had been suffering.
