Chapter 89

Author: Mizuki Sei
The person in the lead was none other than the guy Renee had been waiting for all night—Jerome.

"Ms. Everheart, my naughty daughter has gone way over the line this time. I've already punished her by grounding her for a month. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive her." Jerome sincerely apologized, his face filled with guilt.

"I was lucky enough to escape unscathed, but my husband, who tried to save me..."

Renee looked towards the ward where Stefan was, her fingers clenching slightly.

Although his life was no longer in danger, the toxin had accumulated in his body, so no one knew if it would have any lasting effect. She was somewhat worried and also felt a bit guilty.

If she had not tried to put on the act to acquire South Group's cooperation, Stefan would not have been in danger.

She could now take the opportunity to make the request from Jerome, but... she could not do it.

Liam, however, did not have that kind of reservation. He cut straight to the point. "If apologie

    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

    Liam was impressed while looking at Justin's calm expression. He had always thought that Justin was cunning and full of schemes. He was even worried that Justin might plot against Renee in the future.However, Justin was quite open and generous. He was considering things from Renee's angle. He could be Renee's haven, but if he stepped down, he could willingly grant Renee's wish to be with the one she loved. It seemed that Justin was selfless, and Liam felt that he was worse than Justin. No wonder Renee would choose to spend the rest of her life with Justin. It seemed like he was a reliable man.Justin pocketed his hands and asked casually, "Is there any other problem now?""Not at the moment." Liam frowned in defeat. Since Justin had made such a big compromise, he would seem like a fool if he was too arrogant and refused to give up. A long sigh escaped him as he let go of Renee's hand, but he was still hopeful. He boasted to Justin, "Wait and see! I'll make Stefan appear.""Go

    "Let go of her!" Justin turned cold and grabbed Renee's other hand. He said darkly to Liam, "You don't have the right to take her with you!""Hmph! I don't have the right to take her with me? Well, you don't have the right to marry her. I must take her with me today. Worst comes to worst, I'll fight your family!"Though he was too weak to fight the powerful Baldwin family, Liam was never a coward. He would fight the whole world alone for the sake of Renee's happy and stable life."Calm down…"In comparison, Justin was calmer. He was probably more confident since it was his territory and he could affirm Renee would not leave with Liam. He started mocking Liam. "I'm not the kind of person who will force others to do things they refuse to do. If Ren wants to leave, I'll let her go even if my family disowns me. But I know that she won't leave. At the very least, she won't leave with you.""What do you mean?" Liam could tell that Justin was mocking him, and it annoyed him. "Why are

    Liam felt that his situation at the fort was almost the same as Renee's current situation. He had thought that the marriage was just for show. If he was unhappy, he could get a divorce. Even then, things were not that easy when he wanted to get out of that mess. If Amber had not protected him, Benjamin would have long gotten him killed. He knew better than anyone else how unfair it was for the other party when one tolerated and went through with the marriage.Amber was naive and was willing to be treated unfairly, but Justin was no fool. He would not be able to take it if it lasted for a long time. It was easy to imagine what Renee would face when Justin stopped taking her side."Let's go! I'm not afraid. You don't have to be afraid, either." Liam made up his mind to support Renee, who was standing behind him.Renee bit her lips and started to waver; not because she did not want to be with Justin, but simply because she was not confident in herself. She was afraid she would neve

    "Liam, what are you doing?" Leia looked at Liam, unable to understand his sudden excitement."I'm going to meet Austin or Justin. I want them to cancel this engagement ceremony." Liam held Renee's wrist and tried to drag her out of the suite.He was certain Renee didn't want to marry Justin, so it was very likely that she would regret it in the future. It would be hard to settle if she regretted it after the engagement party. Liam felt that he had to try his best to put everything under control while he still could. Feeling helpless, Leia complained, "Stop making a scene… This is Ren's marriage. You can't make all this fuss!""You don't know. I'm doing this for her. I want the best for her." Liam knew the consequences of resisting Austin, given the man's position. He was also ready to be punished by them. Even though he would be beaten up vigorously, he would not hesitate as long as he could stop the ceremony and help Renee avoid such risks. "If you want the best for her, just

    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
