He then lowered his gaze to speak to the woman in his arms.

�Renee, I love and respect you a lot, but please don�t forget that I am only a man. I am not as compassionate as you think I am. I�ve already done everything I can by bringing him to the hospital. I�m sorry I can�t do more than that!�

In the end, Renee went into surgery right away, as the doctors did their best to stabilize her condition.

She had a concussion and her right leg had a comminuted fracture. Although she wasn�t in critical condition, she was still required to be monitored for one whole day, so that they could ensure that she had fully stabilized.

Hence, after a full day, Renee was finally moved from the ICU to the normal ward, and was able to contact the others. Her leg was currently in a cast, and her entire body was confined to the bed.

Liam, on the other hand, was holding a nutritious meal in his hand, approaching her with a worried expression.

�How do you feel, Boss? Are you hungry? You haven�t eaten for an entire day. Come on, have some food�

Renee was definitely starving, but she didn�t have the appetite. Instead, she grabbed Liam�s arm and asked hurriedly.

�How�s Stefan Hunt? Is his leg okay?�

Hearing this, Liam�s expression darkened as he tried to avoid the topic. He scooped a spoonful of congee and tried comforting Renee, as if she was some kind of kid.

�Did you know that sea cucumber congee is very nutritious, Boss? I heard it helps with curing wounds too. Have some while it�s still warm.�

Renee pushed the spoon away, insisting on knowing Stefan�s condition. Her tone was demanding and harsh as she said,

�How is Stefan Hunt? I can only eat if I know he�s safe.�

�It�s been four years, and you still haven�t moved on from him, huh?� Liam put down the spoon, the cheer on his handsome face replaced by melancholy.

�Even though I�ve stayed by your side for so many years, even though I�m willing to do anything for you, even though I risked the entire Osborne family�s future for you� I still can�t replace him, can I?�

�Liam, don�t be like that. You know that�s not what I mean, I just��

�Don�t say that� don�t treat me like I�m your pet. I�ll stop calling you Boss too. Don�t you realize we�re getting married soon? Do we even look like a couple to you?�

Liam�s eyes were filled with his deep love and admiration for her. He had always wanted to ask her these questions, but he knew that he would only be humiliating himself if he did.

He thought that he could touch Renee�s heart in time, and he thought she would forget about Stefan Hunt. He simply never expected her to get involved with that man again.

He couldn�t just pretend that he was fine with this. JrNovels.com
