�Fell off a cliff?� Stefan�s expression shifted instantly.

�Yes. The area is very confusing, and it�s always surrounded by fog! It�d be dangerous if you ever got lost in there. Ugh, this is all because of that shaman� Why did he have to choose that secluded cemetery of all places?"

Timothy chimed in as well. �It was an untimely death, so he had to choose a secluded place to bury it.. Stef just needs to go there less often.�

�Stef doesn�t even want to go, it�s all because of Desrosiers��

Just as the conversation was getting heated, Stefan stood up abruptly and said, �I need to head out for a bit.

The man then got into his car and sped towards the forest as fast as he could. Francine�s casual chit-chat during dinner had reminded him that the cemetery indeed had complex terrains, with smog all around it. He was worried that something might�ve happened to Renee.

Although the possibility was extremely low, he still had to personally investigate the area to ease his anxiety.

The car continued racing through the night, with its headlights being the only light source.

Stefan was gripping the steering wheel tightly, scanning the area with his sharp gaze, all while loudly calling out to the woman.

"Renee!�

Night time in the forest was exceedingly quiet. Any sudden sounds would echo through it loudly, startling the birds nearby.

Soon, he had reached the area where he had kicked Renee out, and he got out of the car right away.

�Where are you, Renee Everheart?! Answer me!� Stefan yelled louder than before, his voice turning hoarse.

However, all he received in response was either crows cawing or endless silence.

As he continued to shout, Stefan found the whole thing rather foolish. He thought to himself, �Everheart is probably at home, sleeping soundly in bed right now. However, I�m here acting like an idiot, just because of that small possibility that she might be stranded here. Look at me, yelling over and over again in this eerie place� If someone saw me right now, they�d think I�m possessed!�

Stefan balled his fists up slowly, telling himself that he had to stop this silly behavior if no one answered after three more attempts.

�Everheart, if you don�t respond, I�m leaving!� Stefan shouted dejectedly.

Renee, who was still at the bottom of the cliff, was semi-conscious at that point. Fatigued and in pain, she was almost out of energy. More importantly, she was starving, to the point she felt like she was going to faint.

Suddenly, she could somewhat hear someone shouting her name, and realized that the voice belonged to Stefan.

At first, she was rather excited, thinking that she was finally going to be saved. However, she realized that it�d be embarrassing to be saved by that man, and she would be owing him a favor if he did. JrNovels.com
