She bit her lip, summoned her courage, and asked, �So�. do you regret saving me?�

The air became silent.

A strange emotion filled the air between the two people.

Stefan�s thin lips moved, as if he was about to say something.

But right then, the door of the ward slammed open.

�I see. So this is the so-called �holiday abroad�. Incredible. You even lied to your grandpa!�

Francine Milford walked in menacingly. She glared at Renee, wishing she could devour Renee alive.

Briar Desrosiers came in after Francine.

Her stomach had grown larger since the last time Renee saw her. The round belly was like a silent slap to Renee�s face, instantly waking her up.

Heh, what an idiot she was.

Stefan cheated on her. That was the cold hard truth. Yet she was foolish enough to test how he felt still.

Considering what had happened up to this point, was it important whether he regretted saving her or not?

�Now that you�re here, I�m finally free.�

Renee calmly stood up from the chair. She gestured towards the bowl of medicine on the table and told Briar, �Three times a day, rub it on his whole body. This is a task more suitable for you.�

Briar put on a soft, weak pretense and spoke like she was Stefan�s wife, �Thank you, Everheart. Sorry for all the trouble Stefan caused you in the last few days. Don�t worry, I�ll take good care of him.�

The mockery in that remark was so thick that Renee felt like laughing.

But she did not say anything. She simply gave Stefan a nod and turned around to leave.

�You don�t have to go.�

Stefan said towards Renee�s back, his voice deep and cold with a domineering attitude that no one could question, �Like I said, there�s no one more suitable to take care of me than you.�

This was like a slap to Briar�s face. JrNovels.com
