The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1581
Stefan finally understood Renee's thoughts and hugged her gently as he whispered, "Don't worry—you have me. I'm your biggest support. You can do whatever you want to. If you don't want to meet people, we won't. If you want to stay home forever, I'll stay here with you. It's not a big deal.""Thank you. You're the best!" Renee leaned into his arms, her eyes watery. In the past, she had achieved many things, but now she finally knew what true happiness was. It was not about status or wealth, but feeling secure with loved ones who made you happy."It's okay if you don't want to go out, but you must have the check-up. We can't ignore you and the baby in your belly." Stefan thought about it for a while, then came up with an idea. He patted her belly and said reassuringly, "Just leave it to me. I'll arrange it."Renee was lying in a lawn chair in the backyard and enjoying some sun that day when a professional obstetrics team moved into Everheart Manor with advanced equipment. Stefan spent

Since Renee was blind, her senses of touch and smell were extremely sensitive, and she knew the library had been transformed the moment she entered it. The former smell of books had been replaced by the smell of disinfectant, and even the lights felt hotter, like the lights found in hospitals. At that moment, she placed her life in Stefan's hands. She would resign to her fate even if he wanted to dissect her."What a rich imagination you have! Our kid might be a novelist in the future," Stefan said in amusement as he led her into the library."Ms. Everheart, we're going to take your blood now. We need to perform a full body check-up on you and test your blood," a nurse explained to Renee gently."Fine, go ahead. After all, I'm in your hands now." Renee held her hand out and chuckled nervously. After that, she heard some rustling and felt something sharp prick her arm."Be gentler," Stefan barked when he saw Renee wince, and watched her blood fill the tube. "Mr. Hunt, you certai

After that, Owen fished out a stethoscope. He was about to put his hand under Renee's clothes."Wait!" Stefan yelped, and pushed Owen's hand away. "What are you doing?""I'm trying to listen to her heartbeat. What do you think I'm doing?" Owen asked in bewilderment."Let me do it." Stefan took the chest piece from him and said seriously, "My wife is shy, so I should do it. All you have to do is listen to her heartbeat."Owen was speechless.Stefan asked stubbornly, "What's the matter? Can't I do it?""I mean… you can. But don't you think it's strange?" Owen asked hesitantly.Stefan replied, "No, it's not. What's strange is if you touch her that way." He wouldn't know if Owen accidentally touched other areas while performing the check-up. It was fine if he wasn't present, but since he was watching, he couldn't accept it."So… I guess all those romance novels are true. You're a textbook example of an overbearing president," Owen grumbled under his breath. Reality seemed more exag

Owen had been trying to lighten the mood, but his expression suddenly turned serious. "Wait!" He frowned deeply and ordered Stefan, "Place it two to three centimeters down and to the left."His words made Stefan nervous. He did as told, then asked hesitantly, "Is there something wrong?"However, Owen didn't reply as he listened to Renee's heartbeat. After a while, he put the stethoscope down, his expression grim. "I can't say for sure... I'll only be able to tell after getting the blood test results."Renee had been quietly cooperating all along, but her eyes widened in realization when Owen spoke. She quickly said to him, "I think we'd better stop here. I'm sure you're tired, and I'm feeling tired too since they took so much of my blood. Let's continue tomorrow!" She knew that there might be something wrong with her body, but she didn't know how serious it was, so maybe it was best that not many people knew about it so they wouldn't worry. Besides, if Tess managed to figure out who

Seeing how crestfallen Stefan looked, Owen had no choice but to comfort him. His preliminary judgment based on Renee's strange heartbeat and her fatigue was that there was something wrong with her health… but it wasn't because of her pregnancy. However, he couldn't make a groundless conclusion without referring to the blood test results, and he didn't want to agitate Stefan."I'm glad it's normal." Stefan breathed a sigh of relief. "Did you hear that, dear? You're fine. It's just that you get tired easily because you're pregnant. It's my fault—I have no experience with this, so I thought something was wrong with your health!" Stefan hugged Renee happily and pointed at her belly. "Baby, you'd better be good. Don't torture your mother. Your mommy is tired because of you, and if you tire her too much, I'll beat you up once you're born!"Amused, Renee smiled sweetly. "Oh, stop being so silly. You don't act like a mighty president at all.""Alright, guys, that's enough romance for one da
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1586
"What's the matter?" Owen asked Renee curiously."I hope you won't tell Stefan if there's any bad news," Renee said simply. She had made Stefan leave because she didn't want him to worry about her, and she needed Owen's cooperation to make that happen. "Ah, I guessed as much." Owen was not surprised by Renee's request. On the contrary, he felt sorry for her. Renee was the ill one, but she only cared about Stefan and didn't want him to be sad. It was a textbook example of true love."Don't worry, I'm not some insensible blabbermouth. I know what I should or shouldn't say," Owen said reassuringly, then added lightly, "Well, don't worry too much about it. I might not work miracles, but I'm still pretty good at what I do. You'll be fine as long as you stick with me. Also, nothing is really certain, and it could just be that you're tired because of the pregnancy.""I hope so." Renee smiled wearily and said nothing more. She felt that the blood test results would be bad. After all, the

Owen sighed deeply. He wanted to tell Renee that it was better for her to die early given her condition. Based on the blood test results and Renee's current fatigue, there was a high possibility that Renee was suffering from heavy metal poisoning. If that was the case, Renee would eventually have organ failure and nerve damage, and die a slow and painful death. In the initial stage, people would feel tired and sleep all the time, then the nerve damage and organ failure would start to cause them excruciating pain.Her life would become a living hell.Owen tried to think of the best way to phrase the cruel truth, and finally said, "You don't have to worry—I'll cure you." Although he said that, it was extremely difficult to cure heavy metal poisoning. He would also need to know the compound and its dosage so he could come up with a specific treatment plan."I want you to tell me the truth. What have your meals been like lately? Did you eat anything you shouldn't have?" Owen asked Renee
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1588
Owen felt sorry for Renee. A confident, bright, and carefree woman like her had been reduced to such a tragic state in just a few months. Renee had lost her eyes and had been poisoned; she was as pitiful as a wilted flower. "Ms. Everheart, I can't work miracles, but I promise to do my best to help you get better. And your eyes... You'll recover once we find a pair of suitable eyes. Don't be so pessimistic—there's hope as long as you're still alive." Owen tried his best to comfort Renee. Although it was very difficult to cure heavy metal poisoning, and there were not many successful cases of it, it was not impossible. Since there had been successful cases, Owen felt that he could succeed as long as he studied them and did more research."Thank you, Dr. Wagner. I feel more confident now." She forced a smile and said in Owen's direction, "I hope that you'll help me keep these things from Stefan regardless of whether I can be cured or not. He's exhausted, and I don't want too many thing

After a long pause, Stefan finally admitted honestly, "That wasn't a lie." He turned to look at Renee. He knew what he had to do, and heaved a long sigh."But life isn't just about love.""Why not?" Renee became teary as she stared at him like a child who failed to get what she wanted. "To me, that's already enough. As long as we love each other, we can conquer everything. Without love, it'll be hopeless.""If loving each other is already enough, there wouldn't be the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. Didn't they love each other deeply? They loved each other a lot, but they ended up dead!" Stefan shot back.He could not stop himself from getting impulsive. Heartbroken, he turned around to look into Renee's eyes. "Compared to love, I'd rather you lead a steady and happy life. But I'm not the one who can give you that. I'll only bring you pain and death!""Romeo and Juliet?" Renee found that preposterous and bizarre. "What a lousy excuse! Did I kill your parents, or did you kill my p

"How could you…" Stefan looked at Renee in disbelief. For a moment, he was struck dumb. Renee quietly removed the oxygen mask and the needle. She calmly sat up in bed. "I thought you'd never be honest with me.""When did you wake up?" Stefan finally regained his wits. Because of his guilt, he was too scared to look into Renee's eyes. "I had long woken up." Renee was very calm. She looked weak because she had lost too much blood, but at the same time, she still looked firm like a rose blooming in winter. "So, you purposely lured me here, didn't you?"When Stefan learned that she had long woken up, he realized with shock that he might have stepped into the trap she and Jovan set up.Naturally, he was uneasy, given the proud man he was. He could plot against others but could not tolerate others doing the same to him, let alone the fact that it was his beloved woman."Hmph! Did I lure you here?" Renee laughed sarcastically and disappointedly. She looked at Stefan as he tried

"Can I wake her up?" Stefan seemed to be asking them and himself. He shook his head in self-hatred. "I'm afraid I'm the reason why she wants to escape this world. She must hate me to the core and refuse to see me. She might know that I'm here, so she's avoiding me and refuses to wake up."He recalled how much he had harmed her. He was not confident to wake her up, let alone face her."Yes, you're sinful, ut you must be held accountable for it!" Justin could not bother to waste his time talking to Stefan. He pushed Stefan into the ward instead. "You made her so angry, she's in a coma now. So, you have to wake her up. If she doesn't, you can't leave the ward!""Agreed!"Jovan was standing on the other side. He and Justin seemed to have formed a barrier and refused to let Stefan back down.After some contemplation, Stefan decided to face the music. He closed the ward door and quietly went to Renee's bed. It was the first time he was alone with her after a long time."You're tr
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2358
Unsurprisingly, Renee remained irresponsive. Justin gradually grew depressed. Before, he was confident. Seeing that he was getting no response from her, his confidence waned. Undeniably, he was probably not that important to her. If not, she wouldn't remain indifferent. She would have sensed that he was around. "I got it. You don't need me." Justin smiled helplessly. He felt pathetic too. He took a deep breath and finally stood up to exit the ward."How's it going?" Stefan asked.He kept waiting outside the ward, paying close attention to it in hopes that Renee could wake up. He also felt that Justin could bring Renee wonderful things and hope. She would wake up when she sensed that Justin was calling for her. "Hmph! Isn't it obvious? Of course, he couldn't wake her up!" Jovan casually leaned against the bench in the corridor, not even looking up. He sounded vicious. "He's just a backup guy. Of course she doesn't care about him! She's not in love with him." Justin glared at J

Stefan remained quiet as he calmly watched Renee. He extended his hand to touch her face but retrieved it before he could.She used to be the woman he was familiar with and the one he had hugged and kissed countless times, but now, he didn't even dare to touch her. "I think she doesn't even want you here. She must hate you so much and is disappointed in you. She'll be even more pressured if you stay here, and it'll push her further from this world. So please, get the hell out of here if you want the best for her!"Justin could not hold himself back from scolding Stefan. If Jovan was telling the truth, Stefan must be aware of the fact that Jovan was holding Renee hostage. Yet, he remained indifferent and feigned ignorance. He didn't even care if Renee was fine. What a cruel bastard! Justin was disappointed in Stefan. He wanted nothing more than to see what was really on Stefan's mind."Take good care of her." Stefan did not want to defend himself. He glanced at Renee, relucta

"What did you do to her?!" Stefan interrogated Jovan coldly, his eyes teary. "She isn't the kind to kill herself! What the hell did you do to her?" "Try to wake her up if you want to know." Jovan was pale. His previous sickness, coupled with his recent blood donation to Renee, made him very weak. Despite that, he refused to stop infuriating others. "Do you think I can't do anything to you? Do you really think that?" Stefan could no longer hold himself back and strangled Jovan. "I'm going to kill you! Repent for the terrible things you've done!"He couldn't imagine the kind of thing that could force the strong and stubborn Renee to resist by using such a desperate means. "You obviously won't go easy on me! I'm sure of that!" Jovan sneered. His pale face turned flushed as he suffocated from Stefan's powerful grip. "But you'd better kill yourself first if you want to avenge her! She ended up like this because of you." "What?" Stefan's face was frosty. He strengthened his grip a
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2355
Jovan slowly got up from the ground, looking incredibly weak. He whispered, "She lost too much blood. The doctor claimed she's out of danger, but…she hasn't woken up.""What did you say?" Stefan and Justin were bewildered. They couldn't process his words."So, she was the female college student who tried to kill herself?" Stefan said. He staggered after linking the information he had heard from a nurse with the things that Jovan had said."Stop acting dumb! You're so smart, how could you have missed that?" Jovan glared coldly stared at Stefan, scrutinizing him in disdain. "You were just too scared to face the truth and your woman! You're such a coward! You're an embarrassment to your family!""Agreed!" Justin added; he suddenly found Jovan useful, especially when the latter started insulting Stefan. It felt just right."Although I'm a fallback guy, I'm braver than you. I accept that she doesn't love me, and I'm willing to give it a try with her. And although this guy's a vill

Stefan frowned, doubtful. He looked vigilantly at Jovan, who had collapsed on the ground. "What do you mean by this?"Jovan kept coughing and said nothing. His lips grew pale as he sneered.Justin's eyes were cold, and he held back his urge to beat up Jovan. "Hmph! Obviously, this is a scam!"He demanded condescendingly, "How dare you barge into my territory and take away my woman! Don't you fear my family and me at all?"Jovan, filled with disdain, looked at Justin as if he was a fool. "Stop talking. You don't even have the right to join this battle."To Jovan, only Stefan was qualified and powerful enough to be his enemy."How dare you say that!" Justin was infuriated. He got down on one knee and grabbed Jovan. "Your family always says nasty things! You two are the same. If we start fighting, I'll make sure to cut your tongue first!""Did I say something wrong?" Jovan sized Justin up, ridiculing Justin with mock compassion. "Don't you have any self-awareness? You're just a fal
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 2353
Stefan frowned and asked solemnly, "Aren't you a top hacker? Hack into this hospital's inpatient system. Then, we'll know where she is.""Yes, you're right." Still, Justin wanted to challenge Stefan. He said indifferently, "But you're Jovan's cousin. It's more convenient for you to make a call instead of me hacking into their system."Yes, Justin could hack into their system, but calling Jovan would be quicker. And what they needed the most was time."He and I…" Stefan sneered, flexing his fingers. "The fact we didn't kill each other is considered peaceful. He's not as obedient as you think.""You'll know by calling him."Justin had heard about the complicated internal fights of the Hunt family, but he felt that Stefan was exaggerating."Jovan is a Hunt no matter what. Plus, he's still working at Hunt Enterprise. Just call him," Justin said. "Fine." Stefan found Justin logical. His private grudges with Jovan were not important because finding Renee immediately was the most impo
