Chapter 1583

Author: Mizuki Sei
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

    "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

    "Great, I'm hungry. I want to eat it!" When Renee heard Stefan's voice, she tried to sit up eagerly even though she was tired and dizzy.It was the cake she had been craving. Unfortunately, the shop owner was proud, refusing to set up subsidiary shops or sign up for food delivery. Besides, there was a fixed number of cakes that were sold daily, and people would line up for ages to buy them. However, whether one could buy them depended completely on the shop owner's mood. If the shop owner was in a good mood, more cakes would be baked, and people could buy them. If not, the shop owner would not make any more. Even if people got to the front of the line, the shop owner would not bake the cakes for them. The baker's sincerity and passion was obvious in the cake's delicious taste. Renee ate a spoonful of the cake, and its rich taste moved her to tears."Is it bad?" Stefan asked nervously when he noticed Renee's sad look. "No, it's great. I'm just a little anxious because I'm scared I w

    "It's... It's because..." Renee was at a loss for words. She wasn't good at lying, especially to people she cared about. "Pregnancy tests aren't always accurate. It actually depends on the person's hormones, and even men can get a positive result if their female hormones are too high!" Owen quickly helped Renee explain. Although it wasn't the truth, it was enough to fool someone like Stefan.As expected, Stefan believed it, and disappointment rose in him. "Are you sure?""Yeah, the test results can't be faked. Ms. Everheart isn't pregnant." Owen patted Stefan's shoulders and comforted him, "But it's okay. You both are young, so just keep working hard." "I'm sorry, darling. I didn't want to lie to you. I thought I was pregnant when Lei told me that there were two lines. I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble." Upset, Renee apologized to Stefan pitifully.Instantly, Stefan's heart softened, and he hurriedly comforted Renee, "Silly, you don't have to apologize to me... I should

    "No, you can't!" Stefan covered Renee's mouth and said seriously, "Don't even fancy such a thought. If you get sick of me, I'll jump into the sea with you. We'll start a new life, then we'll find each other a novelty again." Their conversation gave Owen goosebumps. He would never have thought that the aloof president of Hunt Enterprise would be so clingy. Stefan behaved like a primary school kid!Stefan had finally managed to reassure Renee, but suddenly realized there was something they hadn't addressed. "No, my wife's been dispirited lately. She's always tired and sleepy. What's wrong with her then if it's not pregnancy?" "It's because she's suffering from—" Owen had wanted to tell Stefan the truth, but when he caught sight of Renee's panicked expression, he sighed. "I think it's the aftermath of losing her eyes. Her health got worse, and she suffered some blood loss, which is probably why she's feeling so lazy and dispirited.""I guess so." Stefan clenched his fists and looked

    Vermillion was neither eye-catching nor dark. It suited the scarf around her neck well, making her look brighter and more sophisticated. She was not as pale and weak as she looked just now. "I like this color. I didn't expect you to know women this well. You picked the right lipstick color." Renee pursed her lips and sincerely praised Jovan.Usually, insensible men would pick pink lipstick, which was awful. When Jovan picked that lipstick, Renee's heart skipped a beat. She was even wondering where she should go to remove the lipstick. However, it was not pink. It happened to be vermillion, which she had always favored. It would be hard to gain such knowledge if Jovan had not had experience with it. It could be seen that he had dated quite a lot of women."I'm glad you like it." Jovan looked at her rosy lips which were wonderful and charming. He inevitably swallowed.Renee noticed that he was charmed—but he was not simply attracted by her. Instead, he admired her religiously, whi

    "His money?" After a brief pause, Renee waved her hand and said without hesitation, "Well, I'll take this then!""Sure! Please wait for a moment." The saleslady's eyes brightened as she quickly packed the bracelet for Renee.Renee took the gift box and handed it to Jovan. Jovan took it readily and willingly carried it for her like her lackey.They exited the jewelry shop and went shopping someplace else. "You didn't want to use my money, but you used his. Do you value him or me?" Jovan was asking for rebuff. Renee turned and glanced at him. "What do you think?""Of course, you value me." Jovan grinned. "The greatest love is feeling sorry for and doting on your beloved. You must have felt sorry for me. So, you didn't want to spend my money.""Congratulations. You're good at comforting yourself." Renee was quite amused. She could not tell who she valued more. She had wanted to spend Stefan's money because she resented him, so she wanted to waste his money. She refused to use J

    It would cost around 150 fifteen dollars or less. Renee found it hard to spend so much of Jovan's money.Jovan stood behind Renee and acted like her wallet. He pocketed his hands and said straightforwardly, "Just show it to us.""Sure!" The saleslady's eyes lit up. She said something to the walkie-talkie, then asked them to wait. The headquarters were trying their best to deliver the item quickly. "May I know how much the new item costs?" Renee asked the saleslady tentatively."It depends on the individual prices of the jewelry and antiques. Its starting price is around 450 thousand dollars," the saleslady explained calmly.It was not a small figure for jewelry or an antique. If they were combined, the item would be more expensive. But people who came to the jewelry shop were powerful and rich figures. Hence, it was not an expensive price either."450 thousand dollars?!" Renee pursed her lips and tilted her head to look at Jovan. "I'll make an excuse to go to the washroom late

    The car drove through the city center in a high-profile manner and reached BC Airport. Jovan had bought an afternoon flight, so they had to wait for five hours. Of course, he had done it purposely because he wanted to spend more time with Renee.After parking the car, Jovan hypocritically glanced at his watch and asked in a dilemma. "There are five hours left before our flight. Do you want to go shopping?""I'm not in the mood." Renee leaned against the shotgun seat and sounded weak. After all, she had just escaped death. Yes, she had recovered, but her body had undergone a lot of hardships. She became rather weak. She was not interested in everything and was naturally in no mood to go shopping. "If you're not in the mood, let's get you into the mood. Let's go!" Jovan opened his car door and went to the other side to open the door of the shotgun seat. He dragged Renee out of the car. Helpless, Renee got out of the car with him reluctantly. After checking in on the flight, Jov

    Elijah sounded urgent and serious. "Mr. Hunt, something's wrong!"Meanwhile, Renee exited the hospital. There was a luxurious convertible at the entrance which attracted a lot of people's attention. Jovan, who kept a high profile, was sitting in the sports car.He was wearing an ostentatious black floral shirt. However, his ostentatious appearance coupled with his casual aura made him look more charming like a model from an advertisement. Renee covered her face and stealthily got into the car. "Can you stop keeping a high profile? You're very eye-catching. It's dangerous!"Jovan kept waving, shouting, and whistling at her just now. It filled her with deep embarrassment. "Well, we're all experiencing the world. If I don't keep a high profile, people won't remember me. I don't care what they think about me as long as I have a great time!"After Jovan confirmed that Renee had sat properly, he pressed hard on the gas pedal and started driving. Although Renee found that unaccept

    "Are you trying to sound me out?" Renee smirked, squinting her eyes at Stefan. Although he claimed that he wanted to end things with her and kept some distance from her, his actions betrayed him. These days, he kept staying close to her. Besides, he kept acting when it was time for her to leave the hospital. He purposely dawdled while helping her pack her things. Besides, he even asked about her relationship with Justin. It showed that he was reluctant to part with her. She was baffled. She wondered why he was that aloof if he could not part with her."No, I'm not." Stefan smiled and did not hide anything. He openly admitted, "I care about you.""You finally…" Renee's eyes brightened as she looked at him eagerly. She wondered if he had come to his senses and wanted to tell her the truth. He was willing to face the difficulty with her.However, he sounded even calmer. "After all, you're Adie and Abby's mother. Grandpa is always concerned about you. I want you to be happy and sa

    The Lotso bear was a villain in the movie, but it was a pitiful villain because it was abandoned by its owner. It used various means and encountered a lot of hardships to return to Daisy, its owner. In the end, it found that its owner had long gained new toys.After getting hurt, it no longer wanted to be kind. It was used to act cunningly as a form of disguise. But honestly, it was a dear baby who needed love. Of course, it was not a villain at all. Renee liked it because she saw herself as well as others in it. Everyone was gloomy in some way. People got hurt and slowly became gloomy. Instead of criticizing such a thing, Renee felt more compassion and sorry for such a situation. "But you still don't want it and want to throw it away." Stefan was gripped with complicated feelings after listening to Renee's explanation. He sounded sad."Yes, I like it. But I still want to throw it away. It's better to stop in time." Renee laughed and stopped shaking her legs. She was her usual

    A week later, Renee recovered because she listened to the doctor and underwent treatment. She could be discharged from the hospital.In the meantime, Stefan stayed outside the ward and did not enter the ward.On the contrary, Jovan kept entering the ward from time to time. Renee would either scold or drive him away. Stefan entered the ward on the day Renee was leaving the hospital. He quietly helped Renee pack up her things. Generally, a caretaker could do that. However, Stefan acted like he wanted to repent and felt better when he took it upon himself. "Do you still need this?" Stefan pointed at a Lotso bear toy at the head of the bed and asked Renee calmly.During the one-week hospitalization, Renee got bored. Stefan would give her some blind boxes as entertainment. Renee found Rubik's cubes, stickers, and keychains when she opened the boxes. She would always throw them away because she was not interested in them. When she unpacked a rather large Lotso bear toy, she became

    Jovan had kidnapped Renee, but he risked his life for her though he appeared like a cunning and selfish man. Renee felt that she did not deserve his love. She had wronged both Jovan and Justin, but she could not love them back. On the other hand, the one she wanted to love kept pushing her away cruelly…She slapped herself fiercely. Her action frightened the nurse. "Ms. Everheart, we can talk things out! Why did you hurt yourself? You can't…" "Don't worry. I'll get better and won't harm myself again." Renee was teary and laughed at herself. "I slapped myself because I recalled the things I'd done. I was very stupid, and I wanted to knock some sense into myself." "Okay, I'm glad to hear that." The nurse heaved a sigh of relief, but she was afraid to see Renee keep acting crazily. After she was done bandaging Renee's wound, she left hurriedly.When Stefan saw the nurse exit the ward, he walked in nervously and inquired about Renee. "How she's doing?" "She's already feeling be
