The Untouchable Ex Wife novel 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 for that 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.
