Renee instinctively noticed that something was wrong. Hesitatingly, she went ahead to give him a hand. �Are you okay, Hunt?�

�No�� The man�s face started turning pale. It no longer radiated the powerful aura he once showed.

He seemed extremely weak, as he grunted. �I can�t protect you anymore, run!�

�No way� Can�t you stand anymore?� Renee was confused, as she later pondered to herself.

�It�s just a beer bottle to the head though, he�s not that weak, is he? He was doing great fighting those guys a while ago!�

�I can�t stand the sight of blood!� said Stefan before fainting in Renee�s arms.

When Stefan regained consciousness, he realized that he was already laying on a hospital bed, his head wrapped in white gauze.

Renee remained by his side the entire time. It was only upon seeing his eyes open did she let out a sigh of relief.

However, she sounded distant regardless. �Since you�re up, I�ll be leaving now.�

In actuality, she worried for the man, but she didn�t want him to find out.

Before she left, she felt him grab her wrist.

�Are you alright? Did they do anything to you?� Stefan asked weakly.

Despite his condition, his beautiful eyes remained sharp as it scanned Renee�s entire body.

The woman returned his concern with a cold smile. �Thanks for worrying, Mr. Hunt. But you should worry about yourself first, especially with that strength of yours. I�m completely fine!�

She had loved this man for four years. Once upon a time, she wished for him to show concern toward her as well, even if it were just empty words.

Now, she no longer needed his love�

To her surprise, Stefan dismissed her cold attitude towards him and was stupefied. �Those people were thugs, weren�t they? How did you even escape from them?�

�Uhm�� Renee froze up. She couldn�t confess that she had beaten them into the ground in order to escape after all.

�Is the question that difficult to answer?� Sensing something was off, Stefan stared into her eyes. He didn�t think this was a complicated question, and it shouldn�t take her this long to reply.

As Renee met his gaze, it felt like lasers were shooting through her mind. Keeping her cool, she responded, �I had to use your title, of course. You�re the great Master Hunt!� JrNovels.com
