�Wha� What?�

Renee felt her mind going blank, unable to think clearly. She had never expected a minor accident to result in such a terrible fate.

�His nerves are broken� Damaged muscle tissue� Poor blood circulation� And amputation?!� Liam�s words felt like knives stabbing Renee�s heart over and over again.

�He must�ve gone past his limit while carrying me� That�s why he�s ended up that way! Bring me to him now! I have to see him!� Renee grabbed Liam�s hand, sobbing uncontrollably.

Seeing her like this made Liam feel bad. He replied, �Don�t blame yourself. I should be the one to blame here, since I didn�t take him to the emergency room as soon as I could. If they really decide to amputate his leg, I�ll give him mine as an apology.�

Liam couldn�t bear seeing Renee like this, and said, �Don�t worry, just rest first. I�ll go ask the doctor about his condition. I�m sure Hunt is fine � you know how tough he is.�

�That�s true, that guy really is a tough cookie! Waves couldn�t drown him, and fire didn�t bother him either! A little fall is probably nothing to him!�

Renee finally felt much more relaxed, urging Liam instead. �Well, don�t waste any more time on me, go look for a doctor! If you won�t, I�ll just have to do it myself!�

�Don�t move, I�ll go right now!� Liam said as he stood up to leave.

However, he was still rather uneasy, pointing at the food he brought. �I hope you finish this before I come back, Boss. You know your body best, and think of the kids� What would they do if you starve yourself till it affects your health?�

After Liam left, Renee still had no appetite due to her anxiety. She couldn�t imagine Stefan losing his life or his leg just because of this incident. She had no idea how she could possibly live with the guilt for the rest of her life.

In a few minutes, Liam headed back to the ward, his expression grim.

�So? How is he? What did the doctor say?� Renee asked impatiently. If she weren�t confined to her bed, she would�ve rushed over to see him herself.

Liam didn�t answer her question, and instead looked at the untouched meal in front of her. He seemed annoyed as he said, �What�s with you? Didn�t I tell you to eat? You�ve been starving this whole time, and you just underwent surgery! Do you even value your life?! How could you not eat anything?�

�Don�t be mad, Liam, I know you�re worried about me, but please be more considerate. How could I possibly be in the mood to eat when Hunt is still in critical condition? Not to mention that he might lose a leg!� Renee�s eyes reddened as she held back tears.

�Stop beating around the bush� Just tell me which treatment the doctors have decided on!�

Liam hesitated for a brief moment and then responded, �Some experts rushed over just a while ago, and said his condition wasn�t severe enough to perform amputation, so they chose to go with conservative treatment. All he needs to do is get plenty of rest after the surgery.�

�Really?� Renee was doubtful, as she remembered how bad the man�s condition was a while ago. Not only was his life at risk, they had even considered amputation, so it was simply odd that his condition didn�t seem serious anymore.

�You�re not lying to me because you don�t want me to worry, right?�

Liam immediately denied it. �Boss, I swear on my life that I�ve always been loyal to you. When have I ever lied to you?� JrNovels.com
