�Want some?� Stefan then handed the rest of the apricot to Renee.

�Mmh!�

Before she could refuse, he shoved the apricot right into her mouth� Yet another wave of sourness burst through her taste buds.

�Hey, Stefan! You did this on purpose, didn�t you?� The woman huffed as she covered her mouth.

�Didn�t you say it was as sweet as first love?� Stefan�s usual cold expression was finally replaced with a soft smile.

�I genuinely wanted you to have a taste of first love.�

�You�re so annoying. You know I hate sour stuff the most, yet you still prank me like this!� Renee found him ridiculous and couldn�t help the urge to punch the man playfully.

�This guy� is exactly like how he was before! He�s such a sadist!�

�What is this called again? Like lifting a giant rock and accidentally crushing my own feet?�

Just then, despite not using a lot of strength, Stefan instantly fell to the ground as soon as she delivered her punch.

�Huh?� Renee was dumbfounded as she stared at the fallen man. Her first assumption was that the man was still messing with her.

�Hey, you�re being so dramatic. Are you really that fragile? You fainted from such a light punch? Come on, get up�people are going to laugh at you.�

However, no matter how much she spoke, the man lay still as if he had� died.

�Hey, Stefan. Stop messing around, don�t scare me!� Renee felt that something was rather off. Her slender face instantly turned pale as she checked the man�s breathing.

�It�s a good thing that he was still breathing� albeit weakly.�

This indicated that the man wasn�t pranking her this time. He was truly feeling quite weak.

�Someone, please help!� she shouted in panic.

Soon, the sanatorium staff rushed over, taking Stefan into the infirmary. Renee, on the other hand, followed closely behind. She was out of breath, her mind completely drawing blanks as she didn�t know what to do. Having just recovered not long ago, Renee was in rather bad shape as well. She didn�t understand how Stefan, who had been making great progress a while ago, would have fallen so ill in just the span of three days.

�Peggy, what�s happening? Wasn�t Stefan close to recovering? Why�� Renee grabbed hold of a nurse who had been taking care of Stefan�s basic necessities and asked desperately.

�Well�� Peggy seemed rather uneasy, avoiding the woman�s gaze. JrNovels.com
