The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 1374
"She's just insecure. She probably thinks I'll change my mind after the surgery." Stefan watched Seraphina leave and smiled
bitterly. It was Seraphina who stayed with him during those hard times. He knew he should take responsibility forthat by marrying
her and giving her a lifetime of happiness. Besides, he believed that he truly loved Seraphina, and the surgery would not affect
his love for her. He just wanted to fill in the blanks in his mind.
Raising his brows, Owen remarked thoughtfully, "All insecurities arise from a lack of self-esteem. Maybe she thinks she isn't
suited for you, or maybe she didn't get in this relationship by honest means. If not, she wouldn't be so worried."
"Not by honest means?" Frowning, Stefan was perplexed by Owen's explanation.
"It's very normal that you don't understand, but everything will come to light after the surgery. You'll know then why she's feeling
this way," Owen said meaningfully. As a neurosurgeon, he was aware of the means of controlling people's brains. It was hard not
to doubt Seraphina since she was so frightened. However, he kept it hidden from Stefan because it was still too early to tell him.
"Okay, you can pick a suitable time for the surgery. I'm ready whenever you are." Stefan's indifferent remark painted him as a
person who had nothing to live for.
Owen chuckled in amusement. "Don't act like you've got nothing to live for. It's just a minor surgery, but I don't think you should
have it now. We should wait another ten to fourteen days until after you've recovered."
"Okay." Stefan nodded.
Owen leaned back in his chair, looking like he was contemplating something very deeply, "So, she's your fiancee, huh? The one
you loved dearly and experienced a lot with you? I thought you guys were lovey-dovey but now that I've seen it... You both look
like friends. There's no passion or anything indicating you both are lovers, and it's very weird."
"Well, not all lovers are lovey-dovey with each other. Although my fiancee and I have a dull relationship, what we feel for each
other is true." Stefan analyzed the situation rationally.
"Not at all!" Owen disagreed. "All people who are in love will feel strongly for their beloved but I didn't see that in you when your
fiancee was around. Instead, I saw that in you when you were with another woman."
"Which woman are you referring to?" Stefan demanded coldly.

"Of course I'm talking about Renee. You bowed down and hired me to treat her brother. I could see your passion for her, and I
even felt that you guys looked more like a couple!"
"We were once a couple," Stefan admitted sincerely. "But that was in the past, and we were unhappy together. It was because of
her that I lost my memories and was nearly killed." "Really? So, you had a love-hate relationship with her. How interesting!
Renee is much more interesting than your fiancee." Owen's eyes gleamed as he asked Stefan, "But do you know she's injured?"
