Renee frowned and asked the doctor nervously, "Please tell me.""Because the snake venom is too strong and can disrupt the victim's central nervous system, Mr. Hunt may experience symptoms of quadriplegia for the next few days. In other words, he won't be able to move. You and Mr. Hunt should not panic if that happens. He's not paralyzed for life. He'll be fine once the snake venom is cleansed.""Quadriplegia?"While Renee was still digesting that word, a loud noise came from the ward."Get out! Get out! Don't touch me!"Stefan had come to. His angry voice was loud enough for the entire floor to hear him.Renee and the doctor hurried over.They saw several young nurses standing at the door of the ward, all of them afraid to go in."What's the matter with you people? The patient's awake. Why aren't you taking care of him? Don't you want to work here anymore?"The doctor said with a serious expression.The person lying inside was Stefan Hunt, the CEO of Hunt Enterprise! If they
Seeing Stefan’s look of despair, Renee felt like laughing, although she knew it was terrible thing to do.Hahaha! Every dog has its day. It was rare to see the cold and arrogant iceberg wither like this. How could she easily let the chance go?Renee lowered her eyes and tried to put on a serious expression. "Yes. Accidents happen, you know. Life is full of ups and downs. That's life.”Stefan closed his eyes and said, "Get out. I want to be alone.""I can't do that. This happened to you because you came to save me. I'll definitely share this burden with you."Renee's kindness was met with Stefan's ruthless rejection. “No need!""Are you sure?""Get out!"Stefan's words were so cold they seemed to have come from the north pole. "I don't want to say the same thing twice!"Right then, Stefan's phone rang. It kept ringing without showing any signs of stopping, as if it would keep going as long as Stefan did not answer."Mr. Hunt... I'll get out and leave you alone now." Renee rais
"Didn't you say you'll share the burden with me earlier? Are you scared already?” Stefan sneered. "If you want to leave, just leave. I might as well die than live like this."Renee typically would not give in to harsh threats but was a sucker for attacks on her conscience. If she really left him now, she would feel terrible."Alright, I'll take care of you. But I'm only doing it for the money!" said Renee.After all, Stefan turned out this way because he tried to save her. She hated being indebted to others. If she really left him now, how could she let her conscience rest?In any case, it would only be for a few days. It would be over in the blink of an eye!"You choose to do this willingly. I didn't force you." Stefan said arrogantly."That's right, it's because I'm bored and I love to get yelled at. I'm becoming your servant willingly. Happy?"Renee rolled her eyes and silently added, "Arrogant bastard!"Stefan truly did have the capitalist mindset. He immediately started to
"You mean... right now?"She looked at the man on the bed who could not move, then at the doctor and nurses who had professional fake smiles on their faces. She felt like she had played herself."Of course. Do you want to wait until the venom spreads to my heart and brain and kill me?”Stefan's cold words left Renee speechless."A man and a woman shouldn't have such intimate contact. I... don't think this is appropriate.”Renee was embarrassed and wanted to run away.She never even got to hold Stefan's hand usually. Now she had to touch every inch of his body?... The mere thought of it made it hard for her to breathe.The doctor was puzzled. "But Mrs. Hunt, you're his wife. This could not be any more appropriate.""Well, I mean, I'm not a nurse. My technique may not be very professional.""That's nothing to worry about. When you rub the medicine, try to rub it on every inch of his skin, then make sure you massage him a lot to promote absorption."After the doctor said that, h
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"Renee quickly withdrew her hands."It was an accident!" Renee said with her hands raised.Stefan was still very calm. He said, "It doesn't matter. It's not like I can do anything about it.""What he hell..."That was so embarrassing. She had never felt more embarrassed in her life.The only thing Renee wanted to do now was to dig a hole, bury herself in it, and never come out again!She did not notice the slight curl on the corners of Stefan's thin lips.Over the next few days, Renee slowly got used to it.Having gone through the embarrassing experience on the first day, she could now rub the medication on Stefan's body with practiced familiarity.Her thought process was, Stefan did not have any physical sensation anyway, so it's not like he could feel her touching him. In that case, why should she be so polite?So, she now touched and rubbed his body as much as she pleased.Facing a beautiful creature with perfect muscles like that every day, no
The air became silent.A strange emotion filled the air between the two people.Stefan's thin lips moved, as if he was about to say something.But right then, the door of the ward slammed open."I see. So this is the so-called “holiday abroad”. Incredible. You even lied to your grandpa!"Francine walked in menacingly. She glared at Renee, wishing she could devour Renee alive.Briar came in after Francine.Her stomach had grown larger since the last time Renee saw her. The round belly was like a silent slap to Renee's face, instantly waking her up.Heh, what an idiot she was.Stefan cheated on her. That was the cold hard truth. Yet she was foolish enough to test how he felt still.Considering what had happened up to this point, was it important whether he regretted saving her or not?"Now that you're here, I'm finally free."Renee calmly stood up from the chair. She gestured towards the bowl of medicine on the table and told Briar, "Three times a day, rub it on his whole bod
"I…" Briar stammered in slight awkwardness. She did like Stefan very much, but she liked him only when he was perfect and high-spirited. If he was a good-for-nothing who was paralyzed in bed, she would not even give him a glance, let alone marry him. Renee became slightly annoyed when she saw that reaction. She felt like Briar was being picky and disdainful toward the treasure she had cherished for so many years, so she immediately protected him. She sneered. "Ms. Desrosiers, didn’t you claim that what you had with Mr. Hunt was true love? Why are you hesitant now? "Mr. Hunt is so awesome. Even if he’s paralyzed, his complexion, figure, and temperament are exceptional. If you wouldn’t marry him, many people would. He’s the famous Stefan Hunt. It’s not up to you to be choosy!" Being criticized, Briar was at a loss, and she went as white as a sheet. "I-I… I didn’t mean that. I just…" Stefan, however, looked composed as he raised his charming brows. "It’s fine. I can understan
"You tricked me!" Renee shot Stefan a cold glare. She was indeed slightly hurt. She recalled how she’d been acting like a fool these few days. She tried her best to take care of him, fearing he might catch some kind of illness. She also satisfied all of his fussy requests though he had long recovered. She felt just like a clown, her dignity trampled on by him. "Think I’m some kitten or puppy? Is it amusing to you?" Renee clenched her fists and suppressed her urge to break his bones. "Enjoy yourself. I’ll be going!" She then left without looking back. Of course, part of the reason she ran away so quickly was that she was guilty. After all, she firmly announced his lifelong paralysis a few minutes ago. Stefan was so mean that he bickered over the smallest trifles and was extremely vindictive. If she didn’t run away quickly, she was simply waiting to be ruined. Stefan attempted to pursue her, but Briar held his arm, pretending to be considerate. "Stefan, you just recov
