�So why is it that you seem so unhappy? It�s like you�ve seen something bad,� Renee said hesitantly.

Liam explained. �It�d be even weirder if I�m happy, okay? That guy�s my top rival! If they really amputated his leg or he died, I would have been celebrating!�

�Now that he�s fine, he�ll be the hero who saved you despite his injuries! It feels like I�m bound to lose this fight. How am I supposed to be happy then?�

Hearing the man�s explanation, Renee immediately calmed down and flashed a soft smile at Liam. �Good to hear that he�s okay. Now I can finally eat and rest well. Otherwise, I�d feel guilty for even breathing if I owed him such a big favor!�

�Well, what did I say? That guy is tough, so you didn�t have to worry about him at all. Eat now, it�d be bad if you encounter health issues from starving yourself when that guy is perfectly fine��

�You�re right, and I�m really hungry too!� Renee brightened up instantly, bringing the bowl to her mouth as she scarfed down on the congee.

However, as she was focused on her meal, she didn�t notice Liam�s odd expression, and he couldn�t help but let out a soft sigh

In actuality, Stefan�s condition was much worse. The tissue around his leg had been severely damaged, so much so that he�d be risking amputation, and his life along with it.

�I�m finished! Ah, I�m so full!� Renee patted her stomach with a satisfied grin.

She then turned to Liam and asked, �Did the doctor mention when I can take this cast off? And when is my estimated discharge date?�

�That depends on your physical condition and cooperation. It�d take at least two weeks, and at most months.�

�I have to rest well then. Once I�m completely healed, I have to personally thank Hunt for saving me.�

Upon hearing this, Liam couldn�t help but feel slightly panicked. �You don�t really have to, right? He did you so wrong back then! Just take this as his way of atoning for his sins. What is there to thank him for?!�

He was worried that Renee wouldn�t be able to handle the shock and sadness if something really were to happen to Stefan. Hence, he figured it would be best if the two stopped seeing each other again.

�You really are a petty kid, aren�t you? Are you worried that my feelings for him might rekindle or something?� Renee gently patted Liam�s shoulder, comforting him.

�Be good, my little Liam. I promise you that I will never go back to that man, even if every man on this planet were to die. Relax, okay? And stop being so jealous all the time!�

She then poked him on his cheek. �Look at you, you�re so angry that your cheeks are puffed up! Aww, what a cutie!�

�Fine�� Liam nodded, sighing helplessly at the same time.

He thought to himself, �My boss is literally the only person in Beach City who would treat me, the legendary �Devil Incarnate�, like a little kid!�

Now, he could only hope that Stefan was as tough as they thought. JrNovels.com
