�Miss Desrosiers said her stomach hurt, so we wanted to send her to the hospital, but she� she refused! She said she wanted to see you first. It�s very urgent. Please hurry!�

The policeman spoke loudly, and Renee could hear the conversation clearly. �I got it.�

Stefan hung up and released Renee�s waist. He turned to look at Renee with his dark eyes, and even though not a word was exchanged, his meaning was clear.

Renee silently laughed at herself. What had she been expecting? How naive must she have been to even expect anything from this man!

She waved her hand dismissively. �What are you waiting for? Your lover is waiting for your rescue!�

�Can you manage on your own?�

Stefan was still obviously concerned, and it showed in his eyes.

�Does it matter? I�ve been doing it for four years, let alone now.� Renee replied coldly with an indifferent look.

Her heart had long since shattered into thousands of pieces, and it was now numb. Whatever choice Stefan made would do little to move her.

To him, Renee was an existence so insignificant that she could be tossed aside whenever it was convenient!

Just then, the cab she had called arrived, so she got into the vehicle without looking back.

When the car drove past Stefan, she stared ahead and didn�t spare the man another glance.

Stefan watched the car with a sullen face as it shrunk into the distance. It was a long time before he finally averted his eyes.

When Renee arrived at Everheart Residence, located west of the city, it was already late at night. The cab driver had heard rumors that the place was haunted, and he didn�t dare drive all the way in, leaving Renee about one kilometer away from the house.

Her abdomen didn�t hurt as much as before, but it was still uncomfortable. She slowly lumbered home, feeling as though she would collapse with every step she took.

Margaret had been waiting outside for a long time, keeping an eye out for her. She rushed forward, sick with worry, the moment she saw Renee on the ground at the gates.

�Miss Ren? Miss Ren! What�s wrong?!�

When Renee saw Margaret, who was like a mother to her, tears of resignation filled her eyes.

�Margaret, my stomach hurts!�

Like a child, she threw herself into the older woman�s arms and wept uncontrollably. JrNovels.com
