The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 1442
Renee's tone was melancholy.
"Why do you want to sell your most important organ then? You can earn money through other ways, you know. You don't have to
do something like this that will ruin your life.'1 Jovan frowned, looking confused.
Renee smiled then said solemnly, "It's because I think poverty is more horrible than having one's soul trapped. The worst that
could happen if I lose my sight is that I’d feel bored, but poverty can actually kill people!"
"How much do you need? I can give you the money, then you don't have to sell your eyes to me," Jovan said suddenly.
"Huh?" Renee's smile froze on her face, and she was caught off guard by his offer.
"Are you surprised?" Jovan clasped his hands together and said honestly, "I know how it feels since I'm experiencing it. I know
how devastating it is to lose your sight, so I don't want anyone to suffer such agony unless they have no other option."
Renee cleared her throat and said awkwardly, "I heard that you're pretty aloof, so why would you rather stay in hell than have
someone else suffer?"
"Don't get me wrong; I just don't want you to go down the wrong path since you're so young."
"Then I won't," Renee said firmly, then added, "I want money, and I can get that money by selling my eyes. I won't turn down
such an offer."
"I told you I can give you the money," Jovan said seriously.
"No, that won't do!" Renee felt anxious, wondering if Jovan had sensed something. Stubbornly, she continued, ”1 might be poor,
but I don't need others' charity. I'd feel guilty if I took your money without giving you something in return. I hate owing others."
"You hate owing others..." Jovan murmured, sadness tainting his tone. "An old friend of mine once said the same thing, but she
was forced to owe me a big favor. If it's possible, I hope it'll stay that way."
"Umm... Why?" Renee blinked in confusion.
"It's a lifelong shackle if she owes me a favor." Jovan laughed at himself for being such a fool. "At least she'll never forget me
that way."

"I see. Well, that's what you think." Renee felt uneasy. She didn't understand why Jovan loved her so deeply, and why he was
willing to sacrifice so much just for the sake of having a connection to her.
"You think I'm stupid, don't you?" Jovan's gaze was complicated. "I had a lot of ways to make her mine, and I was by no means a
gentleman, but... I don't know why I couldn't do it when it came to her. I couldn't bear to see her sad or desperate; I would be sad
too if she were. It was so strange." Jovan shook his head in agitation, then reached
for his cup of coffee. He felt around, not knowing where Eloise had put it.
"Here." Renee took his cup and handed it to him kindly, and their fingers brushed.
Jovan’s body jolted like he had been struck by electricity, and his eyes grew wide in disbelief. "It's... you?"
