Renee carefully raised her head and surprisingly saw Stefan�s extremely cold face.

�Mom, this vase is very heavy. Put it down.�

Stefan shielded Renee with one arm while blocking the vase that his mother smashed on Renee with the other. He then spoke coldly.

Francine widened her eyes exaggeratedly, and she shed tears of joy. �Stef� You� You�re not paralyzed. You stood up!�

Stefan remained cold and stated expressionlessly, �How am I supposed to get paralyzed?�

�That�s wonderful! There�s divine justice, and God won�t be so cruel to my family. You scare me so much!�

Francine wiped her tears and started talking nonsense.

She might not be a good mother-in-law, but she was a good mother. No one could trump her love for Stefan.

Briar�s expression changed quickly. When she confirmed that Stefan was standing there unscathed, handsome, and upright as before, she burst into tears. �Stefan, I know that you won�t make me worry. That was a terrifying joke. Don�t make such a joke again. It�ll worry me sick. You have no idea how much my baby was moving just now!�

Renee, still in Stefan�s arms, pushed him away harshly with all her might�

�You tricked me!�

Renee shot Stefan a cold glare. She was indeed slightly hurt.

She recalled how she�d been acting like a fool these few days. She tried her best to take care of him, fearing he might catch some kind of illness. She also satisfied all of his fussy requests though he had long recovered.

She felt just like a clown, her dignity trampled on by him.

�Think I�m some kitten or puppy? Is it amusing to you?�

Renee clenched her fists and suppressed her urge to break his bones. �Enjoy yourself. I�ll be gone!�

She then left without turning around.

Of course, part of the reason she ran away so quickly was that she was guilty.

After all, she firmly announced his lifelong paralysis a few minutes ago.

Stefan was so mean that he bickered over the smallest trifles and was extremely vindictive. If she didn�t run away quickly, she was simply waiting to be ruined. JrNovels.com
