Chapter 1372

Chapter 1372

After her fight with Stefan, Seraphina had always been cautious around him in case he would ask to cancel their

marriage again. However, Stefan seemed to have gotten over it-he treated her nicely and didn't ask to break off

their marriage.

"No, I have a friend who's coming to see me later," Stefan answered aloofly.

Seraphina immediately felt guilty, and almost got burned by the hot water she was pouring for him. "Which friend?

Xavier or Chris?"

Her questions made him frown with displeasure. "Do I have to report to you whenever I meet my friends now?"

"No, I'm just curious. I'll be glad if you're meeting Xavier because it's been a while since I last met him. I don't know

why he's been so busy lately." Seraphina tried her best to sound casual as she pushed her hair behind her ear.

"No, I'm not meeting them. You'll know later if you're so curious," Stefan said calmly. Right after he said that, he

heard laughter outside the ward.

"Haha! Stefan, why do we always meet at the hospital?" A man in casual clothes walked into the ward, grinning

mischievously. He noticed Seraphina standing there, and smiled politely as he studied her. "Hey, your fiancee is

here, too?"

"You are?" Seraphina was also studying him, having never met him before.

"I'm Owen Wagner, a neurosurgeon." Owen adjusted his glasses and extended his hand to her politely.

"A... A neurosurgeon!" Seraphina trembled and dropped the glass in her hand.

"What's the matter? Why are you so scared of me?" Owen was baffled by Seraphina’s reaction. Most people were

either jealous or admiring when he mentioned his profession, but he had never seen a reaction like this before.

Seraphina was scared out of her wits, and didn't even dare to look at him.

"l-lt's nothing" Seraphina forced herself to calm down and faked a smile. "I just find doctors a bit scary, especially

neurosurgeons because they operate on people's brains." Seraphina swallowed nervously, and asked him

carefully," Why did you come to see Stefan?"

"Well, your fiance had a brain surgery that made him lose a part of his memory, right? I'm thinking of checking him

to see if I can help him regain his memories," Owen told Seraphina honestly, putting his hands in his pockets

casually.

The blood drained from Seraphina’s face, and she blurted out, "No, you can't!"

Owen raised a brow, dumbfounded by her response. "Aren't you Stefan's fiancee? Shouldn't you be encouraging

this? I only took this job because Stefan and I are friends. If not, I wouldn't have come."

"No, you've got me wrong." Seraphina swallowed and lied smoothly, "Stefan is finally cured, and I don't want him to

suffer again. It will affect his thinking. Plus, I'm afraid something bad might happen if we keep tampering with his

brain."
