Based on his understanding of her, she would never leave if it was not an extremely urgent affair. She upheld a carefree and laid-back lifestyle.
It might be a very dangerous affair if she were to become so restless with anxiety out of the blue.
"It's because… If we don't go home now, my sunflowers will wither. Can't you see why I'm in such a hurry?"
"Humph! What a good reason! Do you think I believe that?"
Jovan did not even bother to complain about that. He stated solemnly, "You even promised me just now that you'll tell me right away if anything happens to you. You won't lie to me. Are you trying to break your promise now?"
"Ah. Life is already hard enough. Please don't expose my lie. It's hard to talk about this now. I'll explain to you in detail when we're home."
While comforting Jovan, Renee waited for the elevator.
Ding! The door of the elevator opened.
Coincidentally, the person she was trying to avoid stood right in the middle of the elevator. It was Stefan.
They looked at each other in shock.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
"Why do you…"
Stefan was about to say something to Renee when he looked at Jovan, who was sitting in a wheelchair. His handsome face was full of astonishment.
"Jovan? Why are you here?"
He started to reorganize some details in his mind. Bit by bit, they began to connect.
He heard from Seraphina that Jovan was traveling the world with Renee, his girlfriend.
So, the woman before him was Renee.
When Stefan saw that they were leaving, he fell silent for a few seconds before he strode over and blocked them.
Disbelief dawned on him when he saw how vastly different Jovan was now. Knitting his brows, he asked, "Why… did you turn out like this?"
"You should ask yourself."
Jovan sneered. His gaze was full of mockery.
"What do you mean? Speak clearly!"
Stefan did not understand Jovan's baffling words.
'In the past, Jovan was extremely arrogant. How did he become so pitiful and weak… he looks exactly like how I looked half a year ago.'
His instinct told him that it must have something to do with him, given Jovan's current condition. So, he had to figure it out.
