Chapter 1063
"What do you think?" Renee looked at the man eagerly.
"This is the most delicious coffee I've ever had. It reminds me of... an old friend." Stefan said softly, then closed his eyes and
took another sip, savouring the smooth and rich flavour. Even though he was an extremely picky person, this cup of coffee was
indeed impeccable. It was so perfect that he was sure he had become addicted to it.
"That's for sure. This is my masterpiece." Renee grinned, lifting her chin proudly. She learned how to brew coffee for Stefan's
sake. She became more motivated when she saw how much he enjoyed it, and it made her feel that all her efforts were
worthwhile.
Stefan drank more coffee, and his muddled mind felt clearer. Scenes of a familiar woman flashed in his mind, but he could never
see who she was. Whenever he tried, his head started to ache.
"Damn it!" Stefan groaned, his eyebrows knit tightly as he rested his head in his hands. He looked pained, and a thin layer of
sweat had appeared on his forehead.
"What's wrong?" Renee immediately stepped forward and held his shoulders, asking in concern.
"I seem to have had this coffee before. It evoked some memories, but they were all so blurry... My head hurts so much. It's so
painful!" Stefan’s head was spinning and his breathing was ragged. He felt so nauseous he almost threw up-
"Don't... Stop thinking about it. Relax, and take deep breaths. " Renee panicked when she remembered what the doctor had
said. She stroked his back gently, trying to make him relax.
Stefan's condition was very complicated. His brain had undergone major surgery, so he could not overwork it. If he forced himself
to recall things, it could injure his brain, and could even lead to death.
Renee had always been careful when she took care of him, and tried her best not to talk too much. He had been fine so far, but
to her surprise, it had been that small cup of coffee that carried the biggest impact.
"Where did I have this kind of coffee?" Stefan's thin lips became pale and his low voice was slightly shaky. Even though he was
in deep pain, he held on and forced himself to recall those memories. "There's always a blurry figure in my mind - a graceful and
charming figure in the garden of Hunt Villa... D*mn it! My head hurts!"

Suddenly, he was overwhelmed with rage. He clenched his fists and hit his head repeatedly, breathing heavily. "I'm a worthless
piece of trash that can't even use his own brain. What's the point in living like this?!"
"No, stop that!" Renee quickly pulled him into her embrace and shielded his head with her slender arms. Her heart ached for
him, and she sobbed, "You're hurt. It's normal that you don't remember things. As you recover, you'll recall those memories, I
promise. Don't hurt yourself this way, or you might not be able to remember anything at all."
Stefan finally became quiet.
Renee's warm and sweet embrace was like a tranquilliser for him, and Stefan gradually calmed down. He was now nestled
quietly in her arms like an injured kitten.
"Everyone will encounter setbacks no matter how strong they are. You've always led an easy life, so maybe these are some
difficulties you'll have to face. Don't lose your cool, I promise you'll get through this." Renee patted his back gently as if she was
coaxing Adie or Abby. Her gentle voice and sweet scent enveloped him like a soft breeze.
No man could escape from such tenderness, including Stefan. He was entranced by this woman, and it confused him. He
grabbed her hand and demanded, "What did you do to me? Why do I always feel calm when you're near me?"
Renee's wrist was injured, and his grip reopened her wound. She gasped in pain, and stammered, "I... I was just trying to talk
some sense into you, I didn't do anything to you!"
