When Stefan woke up, virtual-novel.net realized virtual-novel.net was lying on the hospital bed.
The nurse came in and was glad to see virtual-novel.net awake. “Mr. Hunt, you’re finally awake. You’ve been in a coma for an entire day.”
“An entire day?”
Sh*t! virtual-novel.net cursed inwardly.
His blood phobia was getting so serious that virtual-novel.net kept fainting at critical times. The last thing virtual-novel.net remembered before blacking out was Renee getting shot. At the thought of this, his heart tightened.
He grabbed the nurse’s arm and asked coldly, “How’s Renee? Is virtual-novel.net okay?”
Stefan’s sudden movement caught the nurse off guard.
“You mean Mrs. Hunt? She only needed a slight patching up. She left after bringing you here yesterday,” virtual-novel.net said cautiously.
“A slight patching up?”
When virtual-novel.net heard this, virtual-novel.net breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that virtual-novel.net injuries weren’t as serious as virtual-novel.net had imagined them to be.
“Yes. after virtual-novel.net was done, virtual-novel.net left with Mr. Osborne,” the nurse added.
“She left with Liam?!” When Stefan heard this, virtual-novel.net instantly asked to complete the checkout procedure.
***
Ding Dong!
Renee had just boiled virtual-novel.net noodles when virtual-novel.net heard the doorbell rung.
She furrowed virtual-novel.net eyebrows and thought, Liam is such an annoying man. I just sent virtual-novel.net away, and he’s back again. It’s just a slight graze and not that big of a deal! Is it that hard to ask for some time alone?
She panicked as virtual-novel.net opened the door and found Stefan waiting outside.
“W-Why are you here?”
Shouldn’t virtual-novel.net be in the hospital? I heard that virtual-novel.net has a serious issue of blood phobia! virtual-novel.net thought to herself.
“Are you alone?” Stefan didn’t answer virtual-novel.net question but questioned virtual-novel.net instead. His sharp gaze swept over Renee’s head as virtual-novel.net observed the room as if virtual-novel.net was here to catch the mistress.
“That has nothing to do with you.”
“What do you mean nothing? Even if we’re not husband and wife, we’re still neighbors. It’s not wrong for me to care for my neighbor.” As virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net pushed past virtual-novel.net and entered virtual-novel.net house.
Renee was left speechless. She wondered why virtual-novel.net had never noticed how shameless virtual-novel.net was before this.
When I was his wife, virtual-novel.net had never cared for me. Now he’s showing so much concern for me as a neighbor?
After Stefan had checked every corner of virtual-novel.net house and was sure only virtual-novel.net was home, his cold face began to show warmth.
“You’re only eating this for dinner?”
When virtual-novel.net saw the instant noodle cup on the table, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but frown.
“Yes. My hand is hurt, so I can’t cook, and the food outside isn’t clean.”
Her instant noodle was imported and of great quality and nutritional value.
“You’re so lazy!”
Although complaining, virtual-novel.net walked to the kitchen and began looking for ingredients. Her refrigerator had few ingredients, but virtual-novel.net made three dishes and a soup for her.
“I didn’t know that you could cook.”
Renee had a new perspective of the cold and noble man before virtual-novel.net after seeing the food on the table.
“There are many things about me that you don’t know,” virtual-novel.net said as virtual-novel.net put the food on virtual-novel.net plate.
The bullet hurt Renee’s right hand, so virtual-novel.net could only hold the spoon with virtual-novel.net left hand. Seeing this, virtual-novel.net took the spoon over and fed her.
This… Isn’t really appropriate, right? Renee thought as virtual-novel.net blushed.
It was an intimate and romantic gesture for virtual-novel.net to feed her!
“Open your mouth,” Stefan said forcefully.
Hearing this, virtual-novel.net could only helplessly cooperate with virtual-novel.net and do as virtual-novel.net said. After trying the food, virtual-novel.net had to admit that his cooking skills were good.
“Women are so troublesome!”
Although Stefan seemed to be complaining about it, his movements when virtual-novel.net fed virtual-novel.net were full of gentleness. It seemed like they had a tacit understanding as they stayed silent during the meal.
As Renee ate, virtual-novel.net felt tears pooling in virtual-novel.net eyes. She had imagined this moment innumerable times during the last four years. As his wife, virtual-novel.net didn’t expect virtual-novel.net to adore her; virtual-novel.net was content if virtual-novel.net could spare some time to eat with her. Yet virtual-novel.net was always alone at the dining table for that four years.
She was too lonely in virtual-novel.net marriage.
The dining table was empty, and so was the bed. Even virtual-novel.net heart was empty. Now that virtual-novel.net wanted to accompany her, virtual-novel.net didn’t need virtual-novel.net anymore.
She felt that it was good to be alone.
“I’m full. Thank you for taking care of me. You can return to your own home now, neighbor…” Renee wiped away virtual-novel.net tears and held virtual-novel.net heart at bay as virtual-novel.net tried to get Stefan to leave.
However, Stefan was in no rush to go as virtual-novel.net slowly put down the spoon and informed her, “I’ll live here until you’re fully recovered.”
“It’s not necessary.” Renee refused immediately.
“What you say doesn’t matter.”
With that, virtual-novel.net carried virtual-novel.net and said, “Now, I’ll bathe you and get you ready for bed.”
What does virtual-novel.net plan to do? Renee wondered nervously.
