"Because I'm feeling very conflicted." Renee said quietly as she stared at Jovan.
"Conflicted about what? Humor me. Tell me about it." Jovan smirked playfully as usual.
Even though his wrist had been slit open earlier, he was genuinely happy.
'My muse has finally started showing me concern and compassion. She is finally willing to talk to him. She is even stargazing with me… Giving that blood away was totally worth it!'
"Margaret said since Stefan's body doesn't reject your blood, she found a way to cure him." Renee looked rather serious.
Jovan's smile immediately dropped, asking coldly, "How?"
Renee explained everything Margaret mentioned to the man.
Upon hearing this, Jovan fell silent for a long while. He then scoffed frostily and replied, "It just sounds like they're going to use my blood, my bones to extend Stefan's life, and they're going to use my eyes to cure his."
"In theory, yes." Renee nodded.
Jovan was a smart man, after all. Just hearing the name of the therapy was enough for him to understand what it meant.
"Ridiculous!" Jovan looked extremely upset and cold, along with slight disappointment.
"Renee, why are you telling me this? I don't suppose you think I'm that great of a man? Stefan is the one person I have always wanted to defeat. This is the day I have been waiting for! Why do you think I would ever let him live, let alone sacrifice myself for him?!"
"I know you wouldn't. That's why I told you," Renee said calmly.
She had never hoped for Jovan to agree, but she had no clue why she told the truth to him.
"S… Stef, you're awake! How… do you feel?"
Next to his bed were Seraphina, Francine, and many others from the Hunt family, looking at him expectantly.
"Mom, when did you come here?" Stefan asked softly, looking towards the tearful Francine.
"Stef, you… you can see now, right?" Seraphina waved her hand in front of him, asking carefully and excitedly.
Stefan turned to look at the woman, flashing a gentle smile as a single stream of tears trickled down his face.
"I think so, yes."
