Renee gritted her teeth, trying to drown out the pain.
Stefan tightened his grip on her hand and growled menacingly, "I can't wait until I can see again. Tell me now - what kind of past did we have? The person I love the most is Seraphina, so what kind of witchcraft are you using to confuse me?"
He wanted to know the truth because he couldn't stand the pain of trying to remember. Everytime he tried to recall something, it felt like someone was taking a scalpel to his brain, and the pain was enough to drive anyone mad.
"I... Ah!" Renee whimpered in pain, unable to hold it back any longer.
"What's wrong?" Stefan immediately released her hand.
"Nothing. It's just that your grip was too strong and it hurt me." Renee inhaled deeply as she adjusted the bandage on her wrist. Blood was oozing out of the wound, staining the bandages red.
Renee thought bitterly, 'How pathetic. Just a bit of force and I bleed this much. If an enemy comes after me now, I'll be doomed.'
Renee tried to calm herself down, but before she could, Margaret's nervous voice called out, "Miss Ren, er... Something's wrong!"
Margaret rushed into the back garden. She was about to say something but became hesitant when she noticed that Stefan was around.
Stefan said coldly, "What's wrong with her hand?"
"Her hand..." Margaret started to say worriedly, but was interrupted by Renee.
"My hand is fine. I accidentally cut myself." Renee quickly said, not wanting Stefan to know the truth about her hand injury. If he found out what she was doing, he would refuse to use her blood as a medicine, and all her efforts would be futile.
"Do you think I'm so easily fooled?" Stefan's instincts told him that was not the case, and his handsome features turned cold. "Tell me what's going on!"
