Layla showed humility in order to comfort the angry man, but he didn’t want to listen. He even went as far as to push her to the ground.
“Ah!” Layla yelped in pain as her head collided with one of the rock pillars causing her to bleed.
“Now you know that I’m not a good person. So stay away from me if you value your life.” Stefan warned her with a hostile expression.
An egotistical man like him didn’t need any sympathy nor did he want to become a burden to others. He found it extremely ridiculous to have a woman sacrifice her whole life just to take care of him.
“Mr. Hunt I volunteered for this and I’m staying even if you chase me away! Please give me a chance to care for you. I won’t even complain if I end up dying in your hands!” Layla ignored her bleeding wound and expressed her dedication instead.
Francine had been watching them for some time and nodded to herself with a satisfied smile.
“It’s okay Layla. I knew I was right to have chosen you. You’re the best candidate to take care of my son. You are dismissed for now. Go tend to your wounds.” She patted the woman on the shoulder consoling. “Sorry for the trouble. But don’t worry. I definitely won’t mistreat you.”
“M… Madam. Alright if you’ll excuse me.” Layla nodded and left.
Playing the victim this time had secured her position within the Hunt family. Stefan would just have to live with her existence from now on whether he liked it or not.
Francine looked at Stefan’s pained expression only to find a deep sting in her heart as well. She said “Son I specifically chose Layla to care for you. She has knowledge of medicine and it’d be good if she’s your personal caretaker. It might even help you recover your sight quicker. Don’t be so fierce with her. We don’t want to scare her away now do we?”
“What? Have I fallen so far from grace that I should be worried about offending a mere servant?! Or are you saying that… even a servant should find me despicable and abandon me too?” Stefan lamented in self-pity.
Becoming a blind man had crushed his ego entirely and Renee’s indifference was the last straw that broke the camel’s back. He no longer felt confident in himself especially when he thought of himself as nothing but useless garbage.
‘Useless garbage like me should be rotting away in the sewers. I shouldn’t bring anyone down with me!’
“Don’t say that son. This is all just temporary. It’s not like you’ve lost your mind or lost a limb. There’s still hope. As long as you cooperate with Layla’s treatment plans you’ll get better…”
“Haha get better?” Stefan chuckled bitterly. “My eyes were permanently damaged. I won’t get better. Just face it already don’t try to comfort yourself with lies.”
“Why won’t you listen? I told you that Layla is a skillful medic. Her father is the famous Karter Bridges too! Do you know who he is? He’s the only outer disciple of the mysterious Albus Order leader. Do you know how prestigious the Albus Order is in the medical field? They’re…”
“Don’t know don’t care.” Stefan immediately interrupted.
From his point of view Francine was basically panicking and looking for any type of remedy to cure him. It was simply madness…
