Renee had barely whispered the thought aloud — that perhaps one day Stefan might grow tired of her, that the novelty of their reunion would fade — when Stefan's hand flew to cover her mouth with an urgency that silenced the very air around them.
"No, you can't!" he said, his voice fierce and trembling with emotion. His eyes bore into hers with an intensity that left no room for doubt. "Don't even fancy such a thought. If you get sick of me, I'll jump into the sea with you. We'll start a new life, then we'll find each other a novelty again."
The words hung in the air — equal parts romantic and utterly absurd. A grown man, the aloof and formidable president of Hunt Enterprise, was threatening to leap into the ocean with his wife just to keep their love feeling fresh. Owen, seated nearby, felt a chill run down his spine that had nothing to do with the temperature of the room. He would never have believed it if he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes. The man before him — the cold, calculating businessman who could make rivals tremble with a single glance — was behaving like a primary school kid with a crush, clinging to his sweetheart with all the dramatic devotion of a child who refuses to share his favorite toy.
Stefan had finally managed to reassure Renee, but then a thought struck him like a bolt of lightning — something they hadn't addressed. His brow furrowed in confusion as he looked between Renee and Owen.
"No, my wife's been dispirited lately. She's always tired and sleepy. What's wrong with her then if it's not pregnancy?"
The question landed like a stone in still water. Owen's heart lurched. Here it was — the moment of truth. He could tell Stefan everything, reveal the secret that weighed so heavily on Renee's fragile shoulders. But as he opened his mouth, his gaze caught Renee's face — and what he saw there made his words die in his throat.
Panic. Pure, unadulterated panic.
She wasn't ready. She couldn't face it yet.
Owen swallowed hard and let out a long, measured sigh. "It's because she's suffering from—" He paused, choosing his words with the care of a man walking through a minefield. "I think it's the aftermath of losing her eyes. Her health got worse, and she suffered some blood loss, which is probably why she's feeling so lazy and dispirited."
A lie wrapped in a truth. Yes, losing her eyes had taken a toll on her body. But the real reason — the heavy secret pressing down on her spirit — that was something Owen couldn't reveal. Not yet.
"I guess so." Stefan's voice was hollow as he clenched his fists, his gaze fixed on the beautiful but eyeless face of the woman he loved. His heart cracked anew at the sight — at the empty sockets where her radiant eyes once sparkled, at the strength she displayed every day while living in a world of eternal darkness. Heartbroken, he managed to ask, "Can she be cured?"
"Yes, but she needs to take good care of her body. It's best to find a pair of suitable eyes for her first. Then, her body can recover, and she can regain her eyesight again," Owen explained.
The words were true — painfully, desperately true. But Owen knew something he didn't dare voice: he didn't know how long Renee would have to wait for suitable eyes. Days? Months? Years? The cruel reality was that she might be on the verge of death by the time a perfect match appeared. The clock was ticking, and every passing moment brought her closer to the edge.
"Okay, understood." Stefan nodded, his expression unreadable. He turned to Margaret and asked her to help Renee upstairs to rest, his voice gentle but firm. Then, turning to Owen with a look that carried the weight of unspoken questions, he said, "Let's have some tea and chat."
Owen gladly accepted. He knew this moment was coming — that Stefan, sharp as a blade, would have much to ask, much to probe, much to uncover. The two men settled into their seats as Stefan prepared a pot of tea, pouring the fragrant liquid into delicate cups. But his movements were distracted, his brow furrowed with troubled thoughts that refused to lift even as the steam curled upward.
"I feel like you've got something to ask me, but why am I the one feeling nervous?" Owen took a sip of his tea and teased, trying to lighten the heavy atmosphere that had settled between them like a shroud.
"Stop joking. This is serious." Stefan frowned, his stare boring into Owen with an intensity that would make lesser men squirm.
"Okay, you have my undivided attention." Owen set down his cup and looked up at Stefan, his expression becoming serious. "What would you like to know?"
Stefan paused. A man who commanded boardrooms and conquered corporate empires, he was now gathering his courage to ask a question that could change everything.
"You said that my wife can be cured after she gets a suitable pair of eyes, so..."
The words hung in the air, heavy with intention. Stefan's jaw tightened. His eyes flickered with something — resolve, perhaps, or desperation. He looked firm as he finally asked:
"What about my eyes?"
The question struck Owen like a physical blow.
Jovan had given his eyes to Stefan — for Renee's sake, a sacrifice wrapped in sacrifice. But Stefan had always felt uneasy using them. They weren't his by right. They belonged to another man who had loved Renee just as fiercely. And now, the logic was simple, inescapable: since Renee's eyes were compatible with Jovan, then Jovan's eyes — now residing in Stefan's sockets — should be compatible with Renee too.
The path forward was clear. Stefan could give his eyes to Renee. He could give her sight again. He could give her the world back.
But what would remain for him? Darkness. A life without light, traded for a life with her.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
Oh, my heart! This chapter is a masterclass in emotional tension. We have Stefan being adorably clingy, threatening to jump into the sea for novelty's sake — I couldn't help but laugh at Owen's horrified reaction to seeing the mighty president behave like a schoolboy. But then the chapter takes that sharp turn into heart-wrenching territory. Owen's near-confession, Renee's panic, the weight of the secret hanging between them — it's agonizing! And then Stefan's question at the end... He's willing to give up his own eyesight for Renee. The selflessness, the desperation, the love — it's overwhelming. This man would sacrifice his own eyes without hesitation, and I'm not sure I'm emotionally prepared for what comes next.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Stefan's proposal to donate his eyes to Renee will send shockwaves through everyone. Owen will be torn between his duty as a doctor and his loyalty to his friends. Will Renee find out about Stefan's intention? And if she does, will she accept such a devastating sacrifice? Meanwhile, the secret that Renee is carrying — the real reason behind her exhaustion — continues to loom over them all. Something tells me the truth will come out one way or another, and when it does, it may shatter everything these two have rebuilt.
