"Stefan! What do you mean? I'm Seraphina. Don't you recognize me?" Seraphina tried to tidy her torn clothes, her eyes filled with tears. She looked at Stefan, feeling ashamed. "Are you disgusted? Those monsters hurt me and made me dirty. Is that why you don't want to talk to me anymore?"
"Oh, it's you!" Stefan exhaled, feeling relieved. Stefan had thought it was Renee who called for help, and images of her being tortured had flooded his mind and made his head ache. Fortunately, it was not Renee.
"W-What do you mean?" The desperation in Seraphina's eyes grew. Stefan's attitude towards her was a million times more painful than the abuse she had just suffered.
"Did you think I was Renee? Did you think those monsters tortured Renee as she tried to save you? Are you relieved to find out that it was just me? Because if it's me, you wouldn't have cared as much, would you?" Seraphina cried out bitterly.
Stefan did not reply, and instead asked her, "Seraphina, what are you doing here? What happened?"
Seraphina stumbled back, tears streaming down her face. Stefan's indifferent attitude devastated her.
"Stefan, what do you think happened? Didn't you see what happened to me just now? Are you blind? Do you even have a heart? I came here to save you! Do I really deserve this?!"
"Seraphina, just calm down and tell me what happened."
Stefan made his way towards Seraphina and tried to pull her. He fumbled for a long time but still could not reach her.
"It doesn't matter anymore. The man in charge is a cold-blooded and heartless freak. He'll do anything to hurt you. You have to leave now. Come here!" Stefan waved in the direction of Seraphina's voice.
Stefan had spent four years at Carmine Pawnshop. Even though he was blind, he could rely on his memory and find the exit through his sense of touch.
"It was the freak who made you like this, right? It must be the freak! He said he was Renee's brother. They must have joined forces to harm you!" Seraphina's eyes were red and watery. She hugged Stefan and gently rested her fingers on Stefan's beautiful eyes.
"Stefan, I won't leave. I'm not afraid of anything now, so let me avenge you!"
