Chapter 1115

Renee inevitably became nervous under his powerful and intense gaze. With a tinge of anticipation, she tried to sound him out and said, “Why do you think I treat you in a so-so manner?”

She did not know if he had regained his memories or purposely playing dumb here.

If that was true, his acting skills could have won him an Oscar. How perfect and exceptional!

“The only reason why a woman is willing to sacrifice unconditionally for a man is because she loves him too much. So, can I guess that you treat me in a special manner because you love him very much?”

Instead of beating around the bush, Stefan raised the question that had been troubling him for nearly half a year.

It was because the experience he had at Greenwood Sanatorium was indeed very unique. Even if he was slow, he could feel how deeply Renee cared about him.

Holding that kind of doubt, he returned to the sanatorium again afterward. It was also at that time he learned that she used her blood as an ingredient for his medicine. He became aware of her deep love for him.

However, he could not figure out the reason why she left without saying anything since she cared so much about him.

“Do I love you too much?”

Renee shook her head and teased, “Is there a possibility that I am the modern Florence Nightingale? I like to help people. What’s more, I don’t want to make it public even if I do anything good. It’s simply because I’m a good person, huh?”

“Don’t be all smiles here. There are many ways to be nice to people. What other reason could it be if you risk your life for someone else if it isn’t under the name of love?”

“Ha! Ha! Ha! Mr. Hunt, do you feel very lonely? Is that why you make a fuss and claim that others love you? Have you ever thought of another possibility? If a woman sacrifices unconditionally for a man, perhaps it’s because she’s trying to atone for her sins.”

At first, Renee attempted to avoid his gaze, but now, her eyes turned fierce.

If he had to get to the bottom of it, she could only show him the disgusting past. She would make him see how wicked humans were and how cruel the reality was.

Stefan’s gaze changed a bit before he asked coldly, “Which of your sins do you want to atone for?”

“Don’t you remember how you turned blind? How did you fall and hurt all over that you needed brain surgery?”

“I…”

Stefan frowned deeply. Various scenes emerged in his mind and flashed by quickly, but he could not make up a complete picture. Quietly, he said, “I heard from my mother that I turned blind because I was plotted against by my enemies. I did lose a part of my memory. Could it be that this part of memory is related to you?”

He hugged his head with both hands and tried his best to recall something. But there seemed to be a thin thread in his brain, tying down that part of memory that he had lost. Whenever he tried to recall it, intense pain would shock his brain.

“Don’t force yourself if you can’t recall. That’s not a beautiful memory, and I’m not a good person.

Groundless hatred doesn’t exist, let alone groundless love.”

Renee’s comment carried an air of unmistakable haughtiness.

She would rather he forget all about her or hated her instead of loving her while being unable to be with her.

It was because she knew more than anyone else how painful it was if one’s love was unrequited.

She would be the only one to suffer through that pain. It was unnecessary to implicate him.

However, Stefan shook his head vigorously and tried his best to keep calm. He then grabbed her wrist and scoffed coldly. “I don’t want to be a fool. Since there’s no groundless love or hatred in this world, I wonder if I am fated to receive such treatment from you. What other reason could you have?”

“So, what if I tell you? If I said that you became blind because of me, will you take your revenge? If you want to, you can do it now. My eyes are here. You can take them away.”

Renee closed her eyes with a bitter expression. Like an inmate on death row, she waited for his final adjudication.

Stefan observed her flawless face that was filled with stories. He did not believe a single word she said.

“That’s impossible. If you wanted to harm me, why risk your life to save me? It’s contradictory!”

“It was because I regretted it. I was afraid that your family would take revenge on me. Do you believe me now?”

“Why did you want to harm me then? What happened between us? Why risk getting avenged? Are you doing this to hurt me?”

“I don’t know. I don’t know anything. Let me go!”

Renee almost gave up in front of him.
