Chapter 219

Soon, they arrived at a nearby hospital.

After the doctor tended to Jane’s wound, he turned to face Stefan and Renee. “The wound is just on the surface, so it’s nothing serious. She just has to make sure the wound doesn’t get wet, and she’ll have to apply ointment on it once in the morning and once at night.”

“That’s good to know.” Renee finally felt relaxed. She held Jane’s hand and told her regretfully, “Jane, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault for not looking after you well enough. Can you ever forgive me?”

Jane blinked at her and patted Renee’s head like Renee was the child. “Renee, don’t be silly. You’re so cute and brave. You saved all of us.

so of course I’ll forgive you!”

Jane then turned to look at Stefan. “Stefan, don’t you think Renee is extremely cute and brave?”

Stefan harrumphed and muttered darkly. “I don’t know about that, but I do know that there’s something very wrong with her brain.”

He still hadn’t fully recovered from the fear he experienced at the shopping mall. If that man had been quicker with his knife, or if she had failed to defuse the bomb, the consequences would’ve been unimaginable!

“Since we’re at the hospital, why don’t we let the doctor check if there’s something wrong with your brain?” Stefan then turned to look at the doctor in a serious manner. “Get a checkup done for her.”

Renee scowled angrily and snapped, “Stefan, don’t push it. I saved your life! Not only did you not thank me, you’re saying such mean things to me too! Do you even have a shred of emotional intelligence?

You’re worse than a six–year–old!”

Stefan pretended not to hear her. His expression was blank as he continued speaking to the doctor.

“Make sure you check her thoroughly. I think there are issues with her from head to toe.”

Renee might have escaped the bomber unscathed in the shopping mall, but Stefan was still worried.

He felt it was better if she received a thorough check–up.

“That won’t be necessary!” Renee crossed her arms and looked at the doctor stubbornly. “Doctor, don’t listen to that crazy man – I’m perfectly fine. He’s just jealous that I saved the day while he did nothing…

Thanks for tending to Jane’s wound. We’ll be leaving.”

With that, she pulled Jane along.

To her surprise, Stefan walked even faster than them and growled at her, “Clueless. Extremely idiotic.”

“Huh?” Renee was confused. Had the man lost his mind? Shouldn’t she be the one saying that to him?

He was the one who’d insulted her for no reason.

Stefan made it to the elevator before them. He walked in, turned around and said to Renee icily. “From now on, don’t appear in front of me.

I don’t ever want to see you again.” He then pressed the button to close the elevator doors.

Renee was stunned. Had he actually left? She didn’t know how to react.

“Jane, don’t you think there’s something wrong with him? I didn’t do anything to piss him off. Why was he throwing a tantrum? Are all men so egotistical?” Renee asked incredulously.

Jane looked up at her and thought for a moment. “I think Brother Stefan asked the doctor to check you because he was worried about you, but you refused to cooperate, and that’s why he got mad!”

“When I got sick in the past, my parents would always take me to the hospital for checkups. I’d always cry and refuse, and that’s when they got mad. She added wisely.

“Worried about me?” Renee murmured absently. Jane’s innocent observation had given Renee an epiphany.

Stefan had indeed been acting strangely towards her these past few days. However, he probably wasn’t worried about her. There had to be an ulterior motive!
