When Stefan regained consciousness, virtual-novel.net realized that virtual-novel.net was already laying on a hospital bed, his head wrapped in white gauze.
Renee remained by his side the entire time. It was only upon seeing his eyes open did virtual-novel.net let out a sigh of relief.
However, virtual-novel.net sounded distant regardless. “Since you’re up, I’ll be leaving now.”
In actuality, virtual-novel.net worried for the man, but virtual-novel.net didn’t want virtual-novel.net to find out.
Before virtual-novel.net left, virtual-novel.net felt virtual-novel.net grab virtual-novel.net wrist.
“Are you alright? Did they do anything to you?” Stefan asked weakly.
Despite his condition, his beautiful eyes remained sharp as it scanned Renee’s entire body.
The woman returned his concern with a cold smile. “Thanks for worrying, Mr. Hunt. But you should worry about yourself first, especially with that strength of yours. I’m completely fine!”
She had loved this man for four years. Once upon a time, virtual-novel.net wished for virtual-novel.net to show concern toward virtual-novel.net as well, even if it were just empty words.
Now, virtual-novel.net no longer needed his love…
To virtual-novel.net surprise, Stefan dismissed virtual-novel.net cold attitude towards virtual-novel.net and was stupefied. “Those people were thugs, weren’t they? How did you even escape from them?”
“Uhm…” Renee froze up. She couldn’t confess that virtual-novel.net had beaten them into the ground in order to escape after all.
“Is the question that difficult to answer?” Sensing something was off, Stefan stared into virtual-novel.net eyes. He didn’t think this was a complicated question, and it shouldn’t take virtual-novel.net this long to reply.
As Renee met his gaze, it felt like lasers were shooting through virtual-novel.net mind. Keeping virtual-novel.net cool, virtual-novel.net responded, “I had to use your title, of course. You’re the great Master Hunt!”
“When they heard that you’re the heir to the most powerful family in the city, they were so scared that they begged for forgiveness on their knees. Then I sent you straight to the hospital…”
Her reasoning was immaculate. Bringing out the Hunt family name was truly considered a trump card since no one would ever dare to cross them in the slightest.
It was believable enough that Stefan bought it.
He stared at the woman’s slender figure, feeling conflicted as virtual-novel.net remembered how virtual-novel.net was being surrounded by those gangsters.
“If you knew my title is useful in situations like these, why didn’t you use it from the start?”
“Huh?”
“If someone dares to harass you again, don’t foolishly reason with them. I’m sure it’d be quicker to solve this by saying you’re my ex-wife.”
Renee was perplexed. She looked at the man and wondered. What does virtual-novel.net even mean? Isn’t virtual-novel.net being way too confident in himself?
“Mr. Hunt, do you know how many children die of starvation each year?”
“And how much money do the beggars in front of this hospital earn daily?”
“Or maybe, do you perhaps know how much the sea level rises every hour due to global warming?”
The woman’s words confused Stefan. “What does that have to do with me?”
“Precisely! What would my business have to do with you?!”
Hearing this, Stefan’s expression darkened in an instant.
Renee put on a fake smile and stood before the bed. “Don’t you know why curiosity killed the cat?”
“Why?” Stefan asked, still visibly upset.
“Because it couldn’t mind its own business,” Renee said as virtual-novel.net brushed virtual-novel.net hair back.
“I hope you understand that we’ll be legally divorced after twenty days. Please take care of yourself, and mind your own business.”
“If you really have that much love to give, give it to charity, build a good reputation for yourself…”
The woman left Stefan no room to retort. All virtual-novel.net could do was clench his fists silently.
When did virtual-novel.net learn to speak like that? It’s like virtual-novel.net tongue is made of thorns. She doesn’t have any resemblance to that gentle little bunny virtual-novel.net used to be back then…
“Goodbye!” said Renee as virtual-novel.net left without an ounce of hesitation.
It was too late to show affection now, virtual-novel.net simply couldn’t care less. Besides, this wasn’t exactly an act of love. He just didn’t want to feel guilty for his actions.
If that was the case, virtual-novel.net didn’t need virtual-novel.net to worry about virtual-novel.net safety. However, before Renee could exit the ward, virtual-novel.net immediately bumped right into virtual-novel.net mother-in-law.
