Renee felt like she understood Jovan even more now.
"Miss Ren, since we have reached a breakthrough, I'm thinking… We can try healing Mr Hunt's eyes." Margaret said thoughtfully.
Recently, she had been researching and experimenting with different ingredients that would work with her father's recipe to help Stefan gain his sight back.
"Really? What're the conditions?" Renee asked in an emotional tone.
'This is great. After so much waiting, the day is finally here!' she thought.
"Regarding this, we require Mr. Hunt's as well as Jovan's full cooperation, I suspect that it will still be quite difficult to do." Margaret stopped at this, sighed with worry, and said, "This method is created by my father, called the 'Bloodletting and Bone Fumigation Therapy.' Since Mr. Hunt's body didn't reject Jovan's blood, I reckon we could try it out."
"'Bloodletting and Bone Fumigation Therapy'?"
Confusion was written all over Renee's face. "What kind of treatment is this? Just the name creeps me out."
"It is quite scary. That's why modern doctors would not use this type of treatment. They see it as a form of voodoo. If you really wish for Mr. Hunt to get well soon, this is still an option, albeit the most extreme one."
"Of course, I wish for that, but… You say you would require the cooperation of both Jovan and Stefan. Do you mean…"
A flurry of images flashed through Renee's mind, and she tensed, unable to continue speaking about it.
"You're smart, so you can probably figure it out." Margaret didn't go into further details and patted Renee's shoulder.
"Miss Ren, please consider it, and if you think it's possible, we can start Mr Hunt's treatment."
"I… I'll think about it carefully." Renee chewed on her lower lip as she stared at the dark, gloomy sky, her heart feeling equally as dark and gloomy.
Wide awake in the quiet of the night, she leaned against the cold pillar of the pavilion and stared up at the moon hanging high up in the sky.
"Are you really that grateful for what I did? Would you like to become mine now? I swear I will make sure that you are happy!"
Renee thought to herself, 'Ugh, I can't believe I nearly felt compassion for this blockhead of a man! Why would I think that it'd affect him?'
Jovan finally put off the playful act and asked Renee, "So… Has Stefan kicked the bucket yet?"
"No, on the contrary… Your blood is extremely effective, even more so than mine."
"See, what did I say? My blood is precious!" Jovan beamed like a fool.
After all, if Stefan were better, Renee would be happy, and if Renee was happy, he would be too.
"But he's alright now, so why do I feel like something's still making you unhappy?"
