Chapter 339
Enter titleā¦
Stefan felt like he had fallen into an abyss. He felt like he was about to die, and his
expression was strained. He wanted to crawl out of the abyss, but it was too dark, and he
could not find anything to hold onto. Delirious, he muttered, āHold me!ā
Suddenly, a small, warm hand reached out and held his. It felt like his saviour had found
him, and his tense muscles gradually relaxed.
He even heard a tender voice, as if someone was calling after his lost soul. ā Stefan, itās
okay, I got you. You need to wake up nowā¦ā
Stefan followed the voice and slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Reneeās
beautiful features creased with worry.
āYouāre awake! You scared me.ā She heaved a long sigh of relief.
Stefan had been unconscious for three days because of his hemophobia. The doctors had
tried everything they could to wake him up, but nothing worked. Diagnostic tests had shown
that many of his organs were failing, and if he stayed in that condition, he would have died.
Renee had rushed to the hospital after Stefan and Briar did and had stayed by his bedside.
She had called his name repeatedly until her voice turned hoarse, and at last, she had
managed to wake him up.
Stefanās gaze was frighteningly aloof. He abruptly sat up and demanded coldly, āWhere are
Briar and the baby? Are they okay?ā
Renee felt a slight ache in her heart. At first, she thought that Stefan was just fooling around
with Briar, but now it seemed like that was not the case. He loved Briar sincerely. She pulled
her hand away and answered honestly, āBriar is still in the ICU because the doctors want to
observe her condition.ā
āHow about the baby? Is the baby all right?ā Stefan quickly asked.
āThe babyā¦ā Renee lowered her head because she did not know how to answer that
question.
āTell me ā is the baby okay?ā Stefanās eyes were wild as he grabbed her shoulders and
asked sternly.
āStefan, calm down. Youāre hurting me!ā Renee gasped, wanting to break free from his
grasp.
āIām hurting you?ā He had lost control of himself. He stared at Renee coldly as if he was
looking at a murderer. āIf anything happens to the baby, Iāll not just hurt you⦠Iāll kill you!ā
This upset Renee, and she snapped stubbornly, āWell, you might as well get it over with
because the baby is deadā¦ā
āWhat?āStefan whispered, his face turning pale. At first, he was still hopeful. He thought that
the doctors could save the baby with their excellent medical skills.
However, Reneeās current words had destroyed all his hope.
Of course, Renee was hurt when she looked at his panic-stricken face. She felt like she had
been wronged, and despite wanting to apologize and console him, her broken heart drove
her to do the exact opposite. āYou want to kill me, donāt you? Why are you hesitating? Hurry
up and kill me! Iām just a murderer, and you have to avenge your baby!ā
It was like she was trying to see whether he really cared about her.
Stefan felt so guilty towards Tristan that hatred for himself and Renee consumed him. He
abruptly grabbed her neck and stared coldly at her with a kind of ruthlessness she had
never seen before. āDo you think I wonāt do it?ā
