The doctor seemed very taken aback as well, looking at the both of them in disbelief. �Ah, the younger generation� Always full of� surprises.�

�Your condition should stabilize once you�ve taken the pills I�ve prescribed. You may rest here till the IV bag is emptied,� said the doctor before leaving the ward.

With that, Stefan and Renee were the only ones left in the ward, which created an odd tension.

Despite being married for four years, the two rarely spent time alone together.

Stefan shoved his hands into his pockets and loomed over Renee, asking. �Are you done with the games?�

Renee cleared her throat awkwardly and replied, �Yeah.�

She was now aware that she could�ve lost her life if she had fooled around any longer.

�Why didn�t you reschedule today�s meeting when you realized you had a high fever?�

Renee�s cheeks were flushed red due to the fever. She lay still on the bed and was back to being the defenseless little bunny that he was familiar with. Oddly enough, this made his heart ache for her.

�What�s the point of rescheduling? It�s inevitable anyway, isn�t it, Master Hunt?� Renee replied softly.

Though she wished for Stefan�s love, she knew she shouldn�t let herself drown in that fantasy.

�Thank you for today. I�m fine now, you can leave now. Your pregnant lover is waiting for you, you know!�

Her statement seemed to have snapped Stefan back to reality, as he responded. �Alright, I�ll be off then.�

Just then, a tall slender figure entered the ward.

�Miss Everheart, how did you end up in the hospital over a divorce�

Liam�s relaxed voice came to a sudden halt as soon as he noticed Stefan standing inside the ward.

He scanned the ice-cold �statue� up and down, and the �statue� stared back at him. The odd tension from before returning to the room.

�Do you know each other?� Stefan asked Renee with a chilling tone.

He wondered how an infamous playboy and a modest rich lady would ever get the chance to interact when they were from completely different worlds.

�Well�� Renee buried her face in her hands awkwardly. She was the one who texted Liam to meet at the hospital, but she didn�t expect him to arrive so soon. JrNovels.com
