Chapter 1342

After all, Seraphina had done something dishonorable with Stefan's brain surgery. She had replaced Renee in his

mind with her so she could win all his love. However, he was being so cruel to her now that she wondered if the

surgery had lost its effect.

"That was the past. Now I know for sure that you're not the one I like." Stefan's answer was blunt and honest, filling

her with despair.

Stefan's words might be cruel, but he could no longer lie to himself. He knew that she was not the type that could

bewitch him, and he couldn't figure out how they fell so madly in love with each other in the past.

"If I'm not the one you like, then who is?" Seraphina choked on her tears, her eyes wild. "It's Renee, isn't it? She

charmed you the moment you saw her, and you changed your mind. Didn't you even consider that I only did it

because I love you? You forced me to do it!"

"Yes." Stefan nodded. "So I'll bear the consequences. You were the one who pulled off Quinton's oxygen mask, but it

was because of me. However, Renee wasn't cruel enough... She didn't kill me." When he chose to hide the truth and

protect Seraphina, he knew that he had inexplicably become her accomplice. He had been prepared to be killed by

Renee, and thought it would all be over but... 'Renee, you're too kind!'

"Stefan, what do you mean? Did Renee do this to you?" Francine had opened the door and come in, and when she

heard his words, she dropped the bowl of chicken soup in her hands.

Seraphina immediately went to Francine and held the latter's arms, complaining. "Madam Francine, hurry up and

talk some sense into Stefan. That woman nearly killed him, but he wants to call off our marriage for her. My family

and I will be greatly embarrassed. Please do something!"

"Oh, stop crying. Leave this to me..." Francine patted Seraphina's shoulders and comforted the latter gently.

Looking solemn, she walked up to Stefan. "Were you telling the truth? Did that woman do this to you?"

"Yes, she did... but I deserved it."

"You're even defending her!" Francine massaged her temples, feeling her blood pressure rising. When she recalled

Stefan and Renee's relationship, she felt even more stressed. "It's been so many years. Do you want her to harm

you even more? She blinded you and nearly killed you. Both Seraphina and I nurtured you as if you were a baby

and helped you get better, but she nearly killed you again!"

Francine's voice was getting louder. "Do you have any idea what the doctor said? Your neck cartilage is severely

injured, which hurts your vocal cords. If she had used even a bit more force, you wouldn't be able to speak

anymore.

What's more, your brain was in severe hypoxia when you were rushed to the hospital. You were in a state of shock,

and you would have been dead if you arrived any later... Do

you even realize how wicked Renee is? Why are you so stubborn?" For the past few years, Francine had suffered

greatly and was now exhausted. She didn't want to have anything to do with the Everheart family, but it seemed

like she still couldn't avoid them.
