Chapter 1040
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Since Renee was able to keep a safe distance from him, she left the room nonchalantly.
They had to admit that Margaretâs recipe was almost miraculous. Despite merely having had one cup of the tea, he noticed that his wounds were much less painful the next morning. The effects were quite obvious, as he seemed more energetic as well.
âStef, have some water.â Seraphina poured Stefan some warm water carefully. As she stared at the steam coming from the glass, she looked for a reaction when she asked, âDo you remember you said the other day that we could get married once you are discharged? Is that offer still available?â
Feeling the warmth of the water around the glass, Stefan raised an eyebrow at her question. âOf course. Why do you ask?â
âYouâve been so distracted for the past few days! I just feel kind of insecure!â Seraphina whined softly, then started picturing their future. âIâve been thinking for a while, and I think itâs best we change our wedding venue.â
âWhy? I remember you said your dream wedding would be in Tahato, though?â
The reason why Stefan had such fondness towards Tahato was that he remembered the woman mentioning multiple times that she wanted a romantic beach wedding in that area, despite his fragmented memories.
In reality, his memories werenât false at all. It really did happen, but the woman within this memory was actually Renee and not Seraphina.
For the longest time, Stefan had kept this romantic idea within his heart and wished to make it into a reality for her.
âOh, come on, people change. I used to like Tahato, but now I like Paris! Iâd like to have a wedding in an old castle-like building. So why donât we get married in the largest cathedral in Paris?â
Seraphina knew that she had never mentioned a beach wedding in the past. However, the manâs persistence in organizing one was more than enough evidence that his memories were starting to distort.
If that were the case, she had to âright the wrongsâ and erase any memories that were related to a certain someone and replace them with herself instead.
âHey, come on, say something? Donât you think a castle wedding is more romantic? Iâd like to be a princess marrying my prince charming, who I loved for so many yearsâ¦â Seraphina bashfully confessed, only to find the man staring into space, paying no attention at all.
She frowned in an instant. âStef, whatâs on your mind? Are you listening to me?â
Stefan snapped back to reality and pressed his lips, then told the truth. âI was thinking if I should be taking my medicine now.â
âM⦠Medicine?â
âMy afterlife buddy said I have to drink it twice per day. It should be time to drink some, so why isnât she here yet?â
âSo⦠You⦠You were waiting for her?â Seraphina said, her face stiff as her lips twitched in annoyance.
She had never felt so humiliated before. Despite being right next to him, despite her excitement regarding their wedding plans, his heart and soul were longing for another instead.
âIâm not waiting for her. I was waiting for the medicine,â Stefan said as he moved his arms around, smiling with intrigue. âYou have to admit that it works pretty well.â
Seraphina clenched her fists, trying her best to suppress her rage. She then spoke softly, âI think so too. Let me rush her for you.â
She then angrily ran towards the end of the hallway, where Reneeâs ward was.
However, there was someone else in the ward this time, and the nurse mentioned that the woman was dischargedâ¦
