Half a year later, in a small town of West Varangia were several small wooden houses with pointed roofs. Like a fairytale, these beautiful structures were built along the tall mountain ranges.
The loveliest house among the rest was at the foot of the mountain. There were rows and rows of sunflowers swaying in the wind, basking in the sunlight within the large front yard.
In the very middle of the garden was a handsome man in a wheelchair. As the sunlight brushed against his skin, he lifted his face to take in the wonderful scent of flowers. His expression was filled with bliss.
"Are you thirsty? Would you like some water?" Renee asked gently, caressing Jovan's knee over the soft blanket.
"I'd like to have some of your coffee."
"Okay, get some more sun for now. I'll go make you some coffee."
Before leaving, the woman bent down and kissed him softly on the forehead as reassurance.
"Thank you, my love." Jovan squeezed her hand. His voice filled with happiness as sweet as honey.
It had been six months since Jovan cooperated with the Bloodletting and Bone Fumigation Therapy. Although he lost his ability to see and walk, he had never once regretted his decision, even when breathing started to feel exhausting.
To him, sacrificing himself to receive love and affection from the woman of his dreams was certainly a worthy trade.
Renee, on the other hand, was grinding coffee in the kitchen. She was focused, as much as how she used to make coffee for Stefan.
Despite having been so long ago, she still blamed herself for everything that happened and was consumed by regret every single day.
She knew that it was simply selfish to have Jovan risk his life to save Stefan. Since she had ruined the man's life, she was willing to do anything for him, and even that wasn't enough as atonement.
Half a year ago, when she decided to leave with Jovan, she knew that they were destined to part ways forever.
Coincidentally, he was madly in love with Seraphina.
Coincidentally… He had long forgotten about her too.
"Sorry for making you wait. How does this taste?" Renee handed Jovan the freshly made coffee.
"I don’t have to even taste it to even know it’s my favorite!" Jovan took the mug and took a sip.
"Super sweet!"
