Chapter 52

Renee subconsciously pursed her lips but didn’t answer him, thinking to herself, ‘You’re aware of what I misunderstood. Why are you pretending not to know?”

Stefan’s dark eyes focused on her, and he said, “I don’t care what you misunderstood me, but I don’t want you overthinking things. I’m doing all this to thank you for saving me. Besides that, I have no other intentions.”

After hearing this, she laughed mockingly at herself.

She knew she had read too much into his actions.

He had never liked her in the past four years, so it was impossible that he had feelings for her now! (1)

“That’s good.” She relaxed instantly and joked, “After the divorce, we won’t see each other anymore.”

Stefan merely pressed his lips together and didn’t say a word. He was thinking of the same thing, but he didn’t feel happy when he heard her say it.

Renee rolled up her sleeves, pointed at her injury, and said, “See, my injury is healing. I can take care of myself. You can leave now.”

He looked at the scar and asked indifferently, “Where’s the medicine? I’ll put it for you.”

“No. It’s not necessary. I can do it on my own.”

Stefan didn’t care at all about her refusal. He found the medicine and applied it to her. The scar was longer and deeper than he had thought. He couldn’t imagine how painful it was for her when she had gotten this wound.

“Ah! That hurt.” Renee hissed through gritted teeth.

“Bear with it…” His movements were gentle as he blew on her scar and said coldly, “If you’re scared of the pain, why bother acting strong and being the hero?”

“Hey! I got hurt because of you!”

She was so mad that she wanted to hit him!

“Don’t do stupid things like this anymore. I’m not worth the risk,” He looked at her scar and said in a hoarse voice. 1 He was naturally strong, so he didn’t like owing another person a favor.

His phone rang when he rubbed the medicine on her wound. Renee saw the name on the screen and noted it was Briar calling him.

She asked him, “Aren’t you going to pick up the call?”

Stefan hesitated for a while before putting down the medicine and picking up the call.

“Stefan, where are you? Can you come to the hospital for a while? I want to apply for a checkup card, but they need your signature as the baby’s father.”

Her coquettish voice wasn’t loud, but Renee heard her clearly.

“Okay. I’ll come immediately.”

There wasn’t hesitation to his answer.

She could tell that he really cared about Briar and her child. At the thought of her two kids inside her tummy, she felt they would never get any love from their father.

The thought made her sad.

Stefan was hesitant when he noticed the scar that was only partially covered with medication.

“It’s okay. Go. She’s waiting for you. I can do the rest.”

“Are you sure?”

“It’s only a scar. Not like I became cripple. Of course, I’m sure.” Renee replied, raising an eyebrow and laughing sarcastically, “If she knows you’re here with your future ex-wife, she’ll probably get upset. That wouldn’t be good for the baby.”

Her words made him a little worried. The baby was Tristan’s only bloodline. He couldn’t let anything happen to the baby.

“I’ll go now. Call me if you need anything.”

After that, he grabbed his jacket and phone and left the house.

Instantly the house became cold once again.

Renee froze in place for a while before laughing at herself.

‘I’ve lost completely,’ she thought to herself.

But then she gathered her feelings and decided it was all fine that he was gone since it meant she could finally be free to read books and practice yoga.

Just as she was excited to have her own time, the doorbell rang.

“Could he possibly return halfway?”

She opened the door with some anticipation but saw that the person standing outside was not someone she ever imagined turning up here.
