"What? She's been discharged?" Seraphina felt a bit suspicious, torn between feeling happy and angry at her actions. "How can she just leave without saying anything?!"
She should've known that this woman couldn't be trusted. They had promised to wait for Stefan to get better before leaving, but now, he was still bedridden and she had already left. She just couldn't keep her promises!
"Are you Miss Murphy?" The nurse asked cautiously.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Seraphina snapped at the nurse in irritation. She didn't know why, but Renee's abrupt departure made her feel uneasy. Renee wasn't the type who would give up easily, so she had to be hiding an ace up her sleeve!
"I was told by Miss Everheart to give this medicine to you. She said it works wonders, and hopes that you brew it carefully," the nurse explained, then handed over a cube of the medicine to Seraphina.
"For me?" Seraphina stared at the medicine in confusion, wondering what Renee was up to. She opened up the medicine, and saw that there was tiny text on the packaging that was completely indiscernible to her eyes.
'Is Renee giving me this miraculous medicine so she can become the heroine who saves Stefan? No, there's no way! This medicine could be poison meant to cause my downfall. I will never use it!' Seraphina thought with a sneer. With a heavy heart, she returned to Stefan's room.
Stefan's gaze was dull, but his hearing was sharp. When he heard footsteps outside his door, his face lit up. "Is my medicine here?" He asked hopefully.
Seraphina felt even more agitated, and answered flatly, "No, she's been discharged."
Stefan's face fell, and he raised an eyebrow at Seraphina's tone, feeling like he had crossed a line. 'Someone who has no connection to me doesn't deserve my attention. I haven't even seen her face! Only the person in front of me is worthy of my love and devotion!'
"Seraphina, you're being petty. I was only dismayed at the loss of an attendant… Come here and give me a hug, don't be mad," Stefan cajoled her warmly, his arms wide open.
"That's more like it!" Seraphina snuggled into his embrace, her heart flooding with happiness.
'Looks like Everheart had some sense of self-awareness. She knew it would be beneficial for our relationship if she disappeared!'
