As expected, she saw Stefan lying beside a flat rock on the river. "Stefan!" Great joy overcame her. She ignored the scratches on her legs and rushed toward him rapidly. Having choked on water, he appeared to have passed out. Like Renee, his body was filled with cuts and gashes. On the other hand, his left leg had relapsed from his old injury, and it could not move it at all. "Hold on. You must hold on!"Deep, excruciating pain overcame her now. It was deep heartache. While crying, she suppressed her deep pain and brought him to the river bank. After that, she bent down to give him CPR. His lips were as cold as his body. That perfect and handsome face had lost its rosiness because he'd been soaking in the water for too long. His face had lost all its color and was as white as a sheet… as if he was dead. "Wake up! Stefan, wake up!" Renee pressed on his chest quickly and gave him oxygen through his lips. At the same time, she could not hold back her tears. She had en
The people of the rescue team screamed in joy. "How unbelievable! They survived such rapid waters. It's a miracle!" "Cut the crap! Let's get them to the hospital." Seraphina looked at Stefan, and when she saw him breathing on the ground, she heaved a sigh of relief. However, she became very gloomy. She regretted being so weak and timid and not diving into the river to save him immediately. If not, she would be snuggling with Stefan now. "We want to get them to the hospital too, but... but they're hugging each other too tightly. We can't separate them at all. Don't just stand there and do nothing. Come and give a hand." The captain of the rescue team wiped away the sweat on his forehead and tried his best to separate Stefan and Renee, but it was to no avail. After that, several other men rushed forward to help, but it was still useless. Hence, the rescue was delayed. "Let me!" Jovan, who was standing beside and looking on coldly, volunteered proudly. At that moment, he s
"You're so vulgar!" Seraphina clenched her fists tightly. After she put away her fierceness, she suffered a great sense of defeat. He brought up her most painful rancor. During these years, she had been Stefan's buddy. They seemed to be close, so it was not strange that they ate and slept together, let alone held hands. However, their hand-holding was unlike that of lovers. She dreamed to become his true girlfriend, so she could hold his hand, kiss him, and even do something more intimate with him. "You got angry, so it looks like I made the right guess. You're indeed noble, but you can't be reconciled with it. This kind of reluctance will distort your mind. In the end, you'll become more vulgar, worse than me." Jovan got closer to her and revealed a smile with profound meaning. "Nonsense! I'm different. I love Stefan, so I won’t hurt him. You said you love Renee, but all you did was hurt her. Renee was right. Your love is vulgar and extremely destructive!" Seraphina
After one night, Renee gradually regained her strength and woke up. "You're awake. How are you feeling now?" Jovan sat beside the bed with his head low, peeling an apple. He sliced the skin into a thin and long stripe. It did not even break until the end. It was just like what he always did, meticulous to the last detail, leaving no space to turn around. A painful headache pounded Renee's head as she looked at the white ward. For a moment, she was stunned. "Where am I? Am I still alive?" "Of course you are. You're so tough. How could such a puny river defeat you? What's more, you have a great will. You hurt your leg from the fall, but you held on until downstream. I admire that very much!" Jovan appeared like a warm younger man as he smiled tenderly and handed Renee the apple he had just peeled. Of course, she was not in the mood for apples. She frowned and asked, "Where's Stefan? How is he?" "Don't worry. He has stronger willpower than yours. He lost so much blood, y
"No, I don't."Renee shook her head and sounded firm. She made up her mind never to get back together with him again after learning about his deep and passionate love for her. She once vowed to God that she would leave him as long as he was safe and sound. It was a vow. After she made it, it would bring greater danger if she broke it. The great disaster that happened this time around was like a warning given by God to her. If she stubbornly wanted to break that vow out of her selfishness, Stefan might not be so lucky this time. He might even get killed. "Well, what do you plan to do next?" Jovan heaved a sigh of relief and continued sounding her out. "I don't know either. I'll take one step at a time." Renee shrugged. All she had now was exhaustion, and she did not want to think too far ahead.After all, a plan was always at the mercy of fate, no matter how perfectly things were arranged. It was just like what happened a few months ago: She was deeply in love with S
Jovan patted her shoulders and said that with deep meaning."Haha! Reticent?" Renee found that word extremely ridiculous. "If you could be reticent, how did Seraphina get that video? Frankly... it was just something you held against Stefan." "I'm sorry." Jovan heaved a long sigh. "I did that just because I love you too much and I yearn to be with you. I couldn't think of any way to make him leave you except it's for protecting you..." When he reached that point, he showed a thumbs-up. "The facts show that Stefan does love you very much. He was willing to let me be the president of Hunt Enterprise, let alone date Seraphina. Well, I admire that very much." "You're so despicable!"Renee glared at him fiercely and said, full of disdain, "You never defeated him, so don't even dream of that now. I'll turn myself in for this crime I did. If you want to use this to threaten him to give up his post as the president, you're just too naive." "No, I love you so much. Why would I risk
"Get lost, you maniac!" Renee regarded him as crazy, so she did not take his words seriously at all. "You're a vulgar man who deserves to disappear and hide in a dark corner. If you're smart, stay in your dark corner and grow in whatever lascivious way you want. If you dare to create trouble in front of me, I'll make you pay a price you'll never forget!"She casually picked up an ornament and smashed it hard on him, trying to get rid of him.Jovan was tall, so he had the advantage. He easily dodged the attack. He held up his chin with a wicked smile. "Baby, don't be mad. If you don't want to see me, I'll leave. After all, you'll come begging me sooner or later. We'll have kids by then." "Get lost! You pervert!" Renee was fuming with anger. She ignored her leg injury and pounced on him, picking up everything she could throw in the ward and flinging them on him. The loud commotion immediately attracted the attention of the nurse. "Hey, Miss, you have just gotten out of dang
"Err, Margaret. Why... did you come?" Renee panicked a bit. She wanted to cover her leg injury. "Stop covering that. You make me so worried!" Margaret hugged Renee and started crying violently. "I know what silly things you did. How silly you are! You jumped into the river for an unworthy man. Have you ever thought about your two kids, Mr. Everheart and even me? If anything happens to you, I won't be able to answer for it even if I pay a heavy price!" "I'm sorry, Margaret. I was impulsive, so I didn't think so far. Don't worry. I'm all right. It's nothing serious. It'll cure in two days. It's just a minor affair!" Renee patted her chest in a carefree manner. "That's no minor affair! That's the river around the city, and it’s so high. There are jagged rocks at the bottom, and if you aren't careful, you could be smashed into mush. You would have regretted it very much then!" "Okay, got it. I won't be so impulsive now. After all, I'm your adorable kid. I want to listen to yo
