Panicked, Renee pulled her hand back and accidentally knocked over Jovan's cup of coffee.

"I'm sorry!" Renee hurriedly used a handkerchief to wipe up the spilled coffee, but in her panic, she forgot to modify

her voice.

Jovan immediately became suspicious and grabbed Renee's wrist. "Who are you?"

"Didn't I tell you, Mr. Hunt? I'm Brisa Stone! Don't get handsy with me-I'm just selling my eyes, not my body!" Renee

said teasingly as she tried to pull away, knowing she had to stay calm. If she panicked, she would give herself away.

"Brisa Stone?" Jovan's gaze was void but his expression was alert. "Is that a name you just made up? Are you

really... not my old friend?"

"Which old friend of yours do you think I am, Mr. Hunt?" Renee calmly asked him.

"You feel like her..." Jovan frowned contemplatively, then shook his head. "But it's impossible. She should be

spending happy days with the one she cares about now. She wouldn't remember a useless man like me."

"Don't say that." Renee felt sorry for Jovan, and said earnestly, "I don't think she'll feel that way since she's so

important to you. Maybe she's not being lovey-dovey with someone else, and you're always on her mind."

"I'm always on her mind?" Shaking his head, Jovan chuckled bitterly. "I know my place well—there's no way she'd

think about me. It doesn't matter anyway; I'm just happy that I could have half a year with her in exchange for my

eyes and health."

An unusually tender expression softened his icy features as he thought about his time with Renee. "Though it was

brief, the time we spent together was so precious. I used to lie to myself and pretend we were a married couple

back then." He let out a soft sigh, then continued forlornly," Unfortunately, I was useless back then because I

couldn't see or walk. There were even days when I wanted to kill myself, but her support and company made me

realize how wonderful it was to be alive."

"You..." Renee exhaled deeply and said, "You love her so much, but I don't think she deserves it." Jovan's passionate

love scared her because she knew that she had only stayed with him out of guilt. Sometimes, she became

impatient and wanted to leave, but unexpectedly, even those days were unforgettable memories for Jovan.

The thought filled her with shame and guilt, and she grew even more determined to donate her eyes to Jovan.

"It's getting late. We're going to have the surgery the day after tomorrow. You should rest well, and I'll... do the

same." Renee wiped away her tears and got up to leave.

Sensing the direction of where she was standing, Jovan reached out and grabbed her wrist. "Are you really not my

old friend?" He knew that the possibility was slim, but she felt so familiar. The girl clearly had a different voice, but

Jovan didn't know why he felt like he was talking to Renee.
