Chapter 823

Stefan put on a fake smile, and said smoothly, “You’re right, I should train more. Once I’ve recovered, why don’t you train with me?”

“Ahem!” Renee couldn’t help but imagine it, and she felt so awkward that she was unable to keep up her arrogant front. She changed the topic immediately. “Fine, I’ll get you to the hospital.”

“No need.” Stefan seemed to have a plan in mind. “They’d just ask me to rest anyway. Just get me back to my room and inform my family doctor about my condition. Ask him what we’re supposed to do about this.”

“Sure.” Renee found his idea pretty good. The Hunt family’s doctor was a professional from the most prestigious hospital in Beach City, after all. His skills were unmatched.

“Put your arms around my neck then, I’ll get you upstairs.” Renee bent down and grabbed Stefan by the hand, placing it on her shoulder.

Seeing this, Stefan felt his heart ache for her, and rejected her offer. “It’s okay. You’re too small, I’m worried you might strain your muscles too…”

“Hey, are you underestimating me? I can take you to the second floor, no sweat!”

“Don’t play tough, you’re just a woman… Ah!” Stefan let out a startled yell as Renee carried him on her back. The woman didn’t seem to struggle at all, as if he was as light as a feather. Her strength was able to shut him up right away.

“This is nothing! When I was still in training back then, I had to carry three sandbags, which amounted to three hundred pounds, you know?”

Stefan was speechless as he laid on Renee’s back, not even daring to breathe. He was quite impressed, thinking, ‘As expected of Maurice Everheart’s daughter. She isn’t a spoiled rich girl at all, she’s practically a nuclear weapon! How did she hide all of this during our marriage?!’

In just a few minutes, Renee was able to get Stefan back to his bedroom. She ordered, “Lie still for now. I’ll call the doctor over.”

“You should rest too.” Stefan was still worried about her. No matter how powerful she was, her stamina was probably limited due to her small build. Hence, he didn’t want her to exhaust her body, as it might cause future health issues.

“Why would I? I’m not tired at all.” Renee waved at him nonchalantly. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be off now.”

“Leaving already?”

“Yeah?” The woman figured she had done all she could for him.

“You have to take full responsibility for what you did to me.” Stefan tried to blackmail her as he spoke seriously. “Look into the vows – married couples have a responsibility to take care of each other. If you don’t care for me, you’ll be breaching your vows.”

“You… You’re bluffing!”

“If you don’t believe me, take a look for yourself. As your husband, I’m just asking you for what is obligatory.”

‘Uh, I guess they did say in sickness and in health…’ Renee couldn’t deny it. ‘I have to get this guy to agree to a divorce, or else he’d just pester me for eternity!’
