The man’s expression stiffened. His gorgeous eyes still remained unfocused as he replied, “I wish.”
“You…” Renee felt rather helpless after noticing his pitiful appearance. She waved her hand slowly in front of his face. “Can you really not see?”
“I have no reason nor interest in pretending to be a blind man” Stefan responded coldly his elegant face plastered with visible pain.
“I’m so sorry you’re just way too smart. I couldn’t help but doubt you. I… I’m such an idiot!” Renee gave herself a couple of light slaps out of guilt.
Stefan was quite a prideful man. He was already feeling quite depressed because of his disability and yet he was being doubted for it regardless…
‘This was no different than trampling all over his insecurities. I’m such a disgusting person!’
Stefan maintained an expressionless face still facing forward as he spoke dismissively “So are we continuing the bet?”
Renee bit on her lip feeling rather uneasy. “Only if you want to.”
“Then please step aside.” Stefan signaled as if he had his heart set on leaving the gorge all on his own.
Renee was silent as she lowered her head helplessly walking behind him once again.
Since the two were unbelievably headstrong neither of them wanted to call it quits.
In the end Stefan was able to safely exit Dragonmount relying on only his senses and strength.
At the same time they bumped into a large rescue team who all wore disbelief all over their faces.
“Mr. Hunt Miss Everheart you’re… you’re okay?”
“Oh my god how is this possible? Even professional forest rangers like us need to work in pairs and we’re always armed on every trip down the gorge too! How did you two do it?”
“Umm well… It’s a little complicated.” Renee felt quite awkward when faced with the barrage of questions. She had no idea how Stefan did it either and she was waiting for him to explain himself too.
“You lost.” However Stefan ignored everyone else and halted turning around to face Renee.
“Yeah I did.” Renee smiled sadly. “I admit defeat and I’ll keep my end of the deal.” She knew that if he was determined to return to Seraphina’s side this wouldn’t be the last time he tried to run away. He might have been lucky enough to have come out alive this time but there was no guarantee that it’d be the same on his next attempt.
She didn’t wish to put his life at risk anymore. She only ever wanted to help him after all.
“Sir please have someone take him back to Seraphina Murphy.” Renee made a simple request to the head of security after thinking things through.
“Huh… Wasn’t Mr. Hunt admitted here just yesterday? Why is he leaving now? Greenwood Sanatorium is one of the best sanatoriums in the world! There’s no better place for him to rejuvenate.” The guard expressed confusion.
“Maybe to him being with his beloved is much more helpful than any sanatorium out there. So… I’ll fulfill his wish” Renee replied her words stinging her heart with a deep pain only she knew.
“Alright we’ll arrange the vehicle then.” The guard noticed her sadness looking at her with a sympathetic gaze.
At that moment Stefan scowled after having been silent the whole time. “Who told you I was leaving?”
