The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 1036
With eyes darkened, he grabbed her by the chin and mocked her. "Now you're pretending to love him unconditionally, huh? Why
weren't you considerate of his condition when you decided to make him go through brain surgery to wipe his memories about
Renee? Why didn't you think of that when you substituted his memory of her saving him with yourself?"
"I..."
"Both you and I know that the surgery was just a facade.
Your main goal was just to replace Renee in Stefan's memories! Now that you've become the person he loves and trusts most,
what else do you want?! Why do you have to get her involved?!"
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I... I wasn't thinking," Seraphina admitted to her faults anxiously.
The woman used to be a prideful rich lady. She was so arrogant that she looked down on everyone but Stefan, as she was in
love with him.
However, now, when faced with Jovan, she couldn't help but feel a natural fear arising within her heart.
The man knew too many of her secrets, and she was afraid that he would seek revenge on her someday. Moreover, he was truly
an absolute madman.
After all, he was able to come up with such insanely absurd ideas, such as brain surgery and memory substitution. She knew
that she would be doomed if she ever offended him in any way.
Seraphina explained her stance. "You saw what happened just now, didn't you? If I didn't agree to it, she wouldn't give it a rest.
And she's smart! If she found out about what we did, we're done for! I was just thinking I could... pretend to befriend her, then
make her back off."
"You've seen how much Stef loves me now. Any person wouldn't be able to handle seeing their lover in love with another. Isn't it
safer to break her heart completely so she'd leave us alone?"
This explanation made Jovan's expression relax a little. He let go of the woman harshly, his eyes filled with sadistic excitement.
"You're smarter than I thought. Wait till she's heartbroken, huh? I like this idea."

Seraphina sighed in relief, knowing that she finally escaped danger. She then mustered up the courage to ask, "You're not just
helping me because you want to use me as a means to control Stefan and take over H Group, right?"
"Of course!" Jovan raised a brow slyly. "H Group is just a bonus. My life goal is to have her for myself."
Seraphina gulped in fear, thinking to herself. 'This man's love is so suffocating... and horribly demented!'
In the ward, Stefan was still unconscious at the time.
Renee stood next to his bed. Her eyes fixated on his face." I'm so sorry, Stefan. I didn't know you've been through so much pain.
Maybe forgetting about me is a good thing for
you."
Tearing up, her vision blurred as her eyes reddened. She sobbed. "I swear I will find a way to cure your illness, come what may.
Once you get better, I'll leave you alone for good."
Silence soon returned to the room. However, Renee had no idea that Stefan had already woken up a while ago. Her words were
confusing to him, but he didn't speak up about it, nor did he open his eyes.
He just pretended as if he knew nothing about this.

For the next few days, Renee and Seraphina somehow managed to keep the peace between the both of them.
Seraphina allowed Renee to continue staying by Stefan's side as his 'attendant,' as she took care of his basic necessities.
However, she had also made sure to request that Renee limit any verbal contact with him.
"Now that you know Stef has been through brain surgery and that he can't be exposed to any triggers. Since you're special to
him, a single sentence, or even a single move, would be enough to drive him mad."
"For his safety, you should act like you're invisible, don't let him notice you much."
Seraphina thought Renee would have exploded after receiving her cruel demands, especially knowing how hot- tempered she
could be.

Despite this, the woman was quick to agree to her terms." No problem, I'll just pretend to be mute."
With this, Renee would sometimes encounter quite a few ' heart-wrenching' scenes...
