Before long, the attending doctor and nurse walked over. "I heard that the patient is awake. That's great." The attending doctor was relieved that Renee was feeling better. If Renee was still unconscious, he would need to use some risky techniques to save her. "Mr. Jovan Hunt was very worried about you, you know. He didn't leave your side for the past three days, and neither ate nor drank. If you didn't wake up, I'm afraid he would have starved to death before we could save you!" The attending doctor joked as he did a basic check-up on Renee. Jovan scratched his hair in embarrassment and mumbled, "Doctor, stop. I wasn't guarding her… I was just too lazy to move, eat, or drink." He didn't want others to see him as a love-struck fool, but his excuse seemed to prove just that."Look how flustered he is, Ms. Everheart..." The attending doctor glanced at Jovan and teased, "I've performed a lot of surgeries and watched many people wait for their loved ones to wake up, but I can vouch th

Certainly, Renee's thoughts were selfish. If Jovan hadn't been that attentive, Renee would not be able to see again, but Renee had responded so ungratefully. "How do you feel? Can you see me? Do you feel any discomfort?" Jovan held his breath and asked Renee carefully. He was more nervous than Renee, looking like a man whose wife was in labor."I see you." Renee slowly opened her eyes. Her new eyes were light blue, and they were deep-set and mysterious. Her innocent, angelic pair of eyes had given way to a sultry new pair that could easily bewitch others."Your eyes..." Jovan gaped at Renee in amazement."What's wrong with them?" Renee asked anxiously. "Are they very ugly? Is there a mirror? Can I see them?" "No, your eyes are as beautiful as sapphires," Jovan swallowed and praised Renee honestly. Renee now looked like a confident ice queen that people could only admire from afar. For reasons he couldn't understand, Jovan, who had always been confident and self-assured, couldn't

Renee's eyes recovered gradually, and her initial dislike of the eyes gradually ebbed away. After a while, she grew to like them. Her features and fair skin indicated her Aeos origins, and the blue eyes from Varangia complemented them in a unique and harmonious way. Renee held her face and said to her reflection calmly, "Congratulations on your rebirth, Renee..." However, despite everything, she couldn't stop thinking about Stefan. She wondered about how he was, and how he would react when he saw the new her. She wanted to go back to Everheart Manor.Jovan's visits to the hospital had also reduced because Hunt Enterprise was in turmoil after rumors of Stefan's death had spread. It was a golden opportunity for ambitious people like Jovan, so he was too busy to spend time with her. "It looks like you like your eyes very much!" A sarcastic voice came from the door. Renee looked over and saw Briar wearing a mask. "What are you doing here?" Renee demanded coldly. "How could you talk
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1727
Briar clenched her fists and stared at Renee fiercely. "You're in no position to threaten me! You've lost your support and are on the verge of death, so you have no power to threaten me!" As the person who had poisoned Renee, Briar knew the symptoms of heavy metal poisoning well. Even though Renee was cured, the damage to her nerves and internal organs was irreversible. Renee was fragile and vulnerable now, and Briar could easily make her suffer. "Ms. Desrosiers, how did you know that I am on the verge of death?" Renee immediately asked, narrowing her eyes at Briar suspiciously. "I didn't say anything to you, but you seem to know everything about me. Have you been keeping an eye on me? You must be the culprit who pushed me to the verge of death, aren't you?" Only people who were close to Renee knew that she was poisoned, but if Briar knew it too, then there was only one explanation—Briar was the one who had poisoned Renee."I-I don't know what you're talking about!" Briar swallowed

After putting the photos down, Briar left with a satisfied expression on her face.Doubtful, Renee turned the photos over, and what she saw made her heart skip a beat. Her eyes widened in shock, and the blood drained from her face. They were all photos of Stefan… and he was kissing and hugging Briar in them."How... How could this be?" Renee whispered brokenly. It had been ages since she had felt pain like this, and it hurt even more than the heavy metal poisoning. She couldn't understand why the man she loved would do such a dirty and vulgar thing behind her back. She picked up the photos and studied them carefully for a long time. It was clear that the photos were not digitally altered, which meant that act that had indeed taken place. She has no idea when it happened though."No, I have to confirm this with Briar. What if it's not true?" Renee calmed herself down, knowing that there had to be more behind this. Stefan's actions proved his love for her—he was willing to give up his

Renee had just undergone eye surgery, and she had also just been detoxified, so Leia didn't want Renee to tire herself. "No, it's urgent. I have to see her now!" Renee was almost hysterical. She rarely lost control of her emotions like this, but since this was about Stefan, she didn't care how others saw her."Why are you so stubborn, Renee?" Helpless, Leia spread her arms and blocked Renee. "It doesn't matter. If you insist on heading out, you have to go through me first.""Lei, step aside!" Renee insisted as she looked at Leia, who was equally stubborn.Both of them refused to compromise.Suddenly, Renee felt a sharp ache around her eyes, and Leia's figure became blurry. "Ah, it hurts..." Renee couldn't hold on any longer, and covered her eyes with her hands as she squatted down on the floor.Luckily, the doctors would make rounds of the wards daily, and one rushed over when he saw Renee. He immediately led Renee back to her ward, and after checking her briefly, he complained,

"Depressed?" Leia's heart pounded when she heard that. She felt that it was impossible for her best friend to be depressed. Renee had experienced many misfortunes in the past like her family's bankruptcy, the death of her parents, and her difficult marriage with Stefan, but she had soldiered through it all. It made Leia wonder why Renee was suffering from depression when everything was taking a turn for the better."Are you sure?" Leia stole a glance at Renee and pulled the doctor to a more isolated corner. "She's the most headstrong and optimistic person I've ever met. How could she be depressed?" "You don't understand… Depression is pathological—it doesn't matter if the person is strong or optimistic. Some people might look happy, but could be suffering from severe depression. It's like an apple that looks beautiful on the outside, but has already started to rot from its core. If we don't cure her in time, the consequences will be unimaginable." A long sigh escaped the doctor as h

"I don't care who he works for. What he says makes sense, and we need to take his advice..." Leia said cautiously, scared of angering Renee. The doctor had mentioned that people suffering from depression could become sensitive and paranoid, and that seemed to be the case for Renee. Renee was not as generous and straightforward as she used to be—she'd become suspicious, aloof, and uncaring. "What did he tell you to do?" Renee demanded as she approached Leia. "You're my best friend, so you should be taking my side. Why do you trust someone who works for my enemy? Don't you remember what Briar's done? How could the doctor be a nice person if he works for her?""Calm down, Ren. The doctor didn't say much. He just said that you're now—" After a pause, Leia took a deep breath. "He said you aren't well. You're sad and agitated, and he's afraid that... you might be suffering from depression. So, he wants us to pay attention to your mental health." "Hmph! So, he thinks I'm mentally ill!" R

Leia felt so awkward that she wanted to run away. "Hey, can you stop flattering yourself? You haven't settled your messy romance, so please don't get Ren involved. You shouldn't joke like that!"Similarly, Liam found his joke impudent and admitted to his mistake. "Yeah, I was wrong. Don't take my joke seriously."Both Renee and Leia were amused. It helped relieve their tension. "But have you thought it through? After this ceremony, you'll be a part of the Baldwin family. You can't regret it by then," Liam said; he was worried about Renee. Everyone knew the Baldwin family's style. They had such a grand ceremony today. If anything went wrong, the Everheart family might be ruined for the second time. Although nobody knew who would win the battle, the trouble could be avoided. Liam was clueless as to why Renee wanted to take such a risk."Yes, I have." Renee nodded and added firmly, "I'd thought it through the moment I boarded the plane with Justin to fly here."It was the last c

Renee was done getting ready. As her closest friend, Leia came to North City with Liam immediately.The engagement ceremony was held in a magnificent hall of a top hotel. The guests arrived one by one and chatted among themselves. It was a luxurious and grand scene. "Ren, I'm sorry I'm late!" Leia arrived at the hotel suite where Renee was waiting. She put her hands together to express her apology. "It's Liam's fault! He was out of his mind and insisted on not coming here, but I forced him to and took some time. Please don't be mad at me!""Silly, I won't be mad at you. Plus, this ceremony doesn't carry much meaning. The Baldwin family just needs this as an assurance. It doesn't matter even if you're absent."Renee looked indifferent and was not at all happy and eager like a bride-to-be. The engagement ceremony was held to announce to the world about the relationship between her and Renee. In all honesty, Renee was resistant to it. She did not want her family or friends to at

Margaret decided to be frank since Renee had said so. "I can tell that you don't sincerely love Mr. Baldwin. Your marriage is just a way to avoid reality. Why are you so harsh on yourself if that's the case? Now, you're making such a big fuss about moving here. If you fail to get along with him and have to return to Beach City in the future, many people will gossip about you. They'll say nasty things about you. Why do you have to put yourself in such a condition?""Margaret, you don't understand…" Renee looked at herself in the mirror. She looked very charming, like a bride in ancient paintings. Everyone would be charmed by her—including herself. She knew very well that she was the one taking the lead in her romance with Justin. They could go on forever as long as she didn't end it. She was just afraid she could not hold on and wanted to stop, and the only reason that she wanted to stop was probably because of Stefan. "If I stay in Beach City, I'll come across Stefan. I know t

Time passed by. It was soon the day for the engagement ceremony between Justin and Renee.The Baldwin family held a grand ceremony while adhering to tradition. It was both traditional and romantic.Renee put on a red slim-fit silk gown with intricate black and gold embroidery. Her long hair was delicately pinned up, showing off her fair and slender neck. She looked elegant."How pretty!" Margaret stood in front of the vanity table and looked at Renee, whose face was dolled with exquisite makeup. She looked gratified, as though she were looking at her daughter."If your parents saw how pretty and elegant you were, they would be very happy." Margaret gently placed her hands on Renee's shoulders and commented, "You married Mr. Hunt when I wasn't around. You must have suffered a lot. But things will get better now… I'll stay with you and protect you forever. I'll be your strongest support."Back then, Renee was left alone when her family was ruined. She married Stefan without anyo

Alexander and Francine were already old. It was fine even if others criticized them or took violent revenge on them. But they were worried that the younger generation, especially Adie and Abby, would have a hard time handling it."You're right. I wasn't thinking straight…" Francine became teary and sobbed. "I just wanted to relieve my guilt and failed to consider the kids. We brought this upon ourselves. I'll probably have to suffer this pain for the rest of my life.""Stop thinking about that. It's all over. It's useless to regret or dwell on it." Alexander walked over and hugged her shoulders. He whispered some consoling words, "No one can tell who was right or wrong about that affair. We're already punished. Just act like everything is gone…"Is it? You're just trying to make yourself feel better." Francine leaned against Alexander's shoulders, full of melancholy. "Don't you think the kids are suffering the consequences of our actions? They love and understand each other bu

"No, I'm not going to snatch away the bride." Stefan put his fork down and stood up. He added calmly, "Plus, I'm going to give them a huge wedding gift."Flabbergasted and shocked, Francine's face stiffened. "I'm full. Just enjoy your meal." Stefan went past Francine and headed upstairs to his room. Francine and Alexander watched Stefan's upright but desolate back for a long time, unable to snap back to reality."Alexander, is there something wrong with him? Should we get an exorcist? He's acting weird!"Francine could not accept to see Stefan that generous all of a sudden. His woman was snatched away, but he wasn't angry at all. Instead, he wanted to buy the couple a big wedding gift. She couldn't come up with any other possibility except that Stefan was crazy or possessed. "I can understand him." Suddenly, Alexander became sad as if he recalled his past. He looked gloomy as he added, "Sometimes, letting go is a kind of happiness. Helping the others to be together is true l

"How could you!" For a moment, Timothy was rendered speechless. After all, his anxiety was useless since Stefan was calm. "Forget it. I'm not eating. It's annoying! I'm going upstairs." Timothy did not want to argue with Stefan since Stefan was already an adult. He could not force Stefan to do anything. Instead, he chose to get away from such annoyance to not ruin the harmony of the New Year. After he got up and left, Francine braced herself to mediate the situation."Your grandpa isn't very healthy. He should rest early. Let's eat. We should enjoy our meal happily no matter how unhappy things are." Alexander soon gave his cooperation as well when he heard that. He put some food on Stefan's plate and smiled. "Yes, we can't force things in life. Let's enjoy our meal first." "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry you guys are worried about me. Happy New Year."Stefan quietly ate and raised his wine glass, toasting to his parents. He looked normal and calm, and was warmer toward them.However,

Coldness rapidly engulfed everyone. "It's said that Ms. Renee Everheart and Mr. Justin Baldwin have been best friends for many years and ended up as soulmates. They're going to hold a grand engagement ceremony three days later. They've also announced that the Baldwin family has finally made peace with the Everheart family. Many distinguished guests will attend the ceremony. It's still unknown if this event will bring any new changes to North City and Beach City. Let's wait and see!"The host was reporting the affair excitedly on the TV as if he was an eager onlooker."Tsk! What TV station is this? How lousy! I'm going to acquire it!" Francine criticized it before she told the servant to turn the TV off. She also looked at Stefan and Timothy carefully from time to time. She wondered what was on their mind since nobody spoke up.After the TV was turned off, a strange feeling overcame everyone."Let's enjoy our reunion dinner. Don't be angry." Alexander urged everyone to start eat

After a pause, a long sigh escaped Timothy. "Well, children are lacking."Both Alexander and Francine kept quiet. They knew he was going to start talking about that again.Timothy would always talk about the same thing whenever they sat down for a meal. He would make Stefan ask Renee to remarry him, and then demand he get his children home. The harmonious atmosphere would become particularly gloomy and tense every time Timothy brought that up. They knew the thing he yearned for was a prohibited topic for Stefan.It seemed Stefan had made up his mind to never have anything to do with Renee. His face would sink every time they talked about him making peace with Renee, remarrying her, or the children. He would put the fork down and leave. However, Timothy mentioned that topic straightaway during dinner. Awkwardness soon filled Alexander and Francine, and they didn't dare to speak at all. They were afraid that the reunion dinner would become a battlefield."Yes, you're right."
