Chapter 264

Apparently, the person giving him CPR wasn’t Renee, who he initially expected. Instead, it was one ofthe members of the rescue team, a tanned burly man.

“Damn it!” Stefan immediately leaped from the ground, pushing the burly man harshly and forcing himten feet away.

Seeing this, Renee was overwhelmed with glee. “Oh my god, you’re alive, Stefan Hunt! Thank thestars!”

“Did you do that on purpose, Everheart?!” Stefan looked exceedingly disgusted as he wiped his mouthover and over using the back of his hand.

He thought to himself, ‘That was so humiliating! I cant believe that I, Stefan Hunt, was tricked! I cannotaccept this. I won’t let this damn brat off so easily!’

However, Renee was clueless about Stefan’s intentions from the start. She truly believed that the manneeded CPR and went out of her way to find the best professional around them.

Seeing how energetic the man seemed, Renee was genuinely happy that he was no longer in criticalcondition. She instinctively gave him a big hug, whimpering. “Thank god, Stefan Hunt! You’re alive! Youreally are a tough cookie, just like Christopher said!”

Stefan’s rage was instantly replaced with calmness as he felt the woman’s soft touch. Not just that, butshe really was expressing concern toward him. It was rather hard for him to get mad at her at thispoint…

Unfamiliar with this version of Renee, who seemed to care about his wellbeing a lot, Stefan cleared histhroat and joked around with her.

“If you’re so scared of me dying, why would you say you’d never shed a tear for me if I did? You littleliar.”

The man’s words snapped Renee back to reality, which made her let go of him, keeping her distance.“You don’t even cherish your own life! Of course, I wouldn’t cry over your death.”

“But these tear streaks…”

“I just got some sand in my eyes, that’s all!’

“And what about your dress? It’s drenched. Did you try to dive in to save me?“

“That’s… I just like walking by the seaside! What does that have anything to do with you?” Reneerefused to admit just how much she worried about the man.

Stefan seemed to have understood this and nodded gently. As if he was trying to comfort her, he said,’Alright, alright, I know you don’t care. Then you shouldn’t be too worried if anything like this happensagain. Just know that I will come back safely, no matter what.“

“Again?!” Renee frowned deeply, as if she had just heard something absurd, and slapped the manacross the face.

She then warned him, shoving her fist in front of his face. “Just die if you dare to act so recklesslyagain! Then you won’t make anyone else worry about you anymore!”

“Worry?’ Stefan smiled as he questioned back. “Didn’t you say you don’t care about me?”

This time, Renee was unable to come up with a proper reply. It was obvious. She clearly hadn’t movedon from the man yet, no matter how much she wanted to deny it. Her entire being was constantlyworrying about him. She never wanted anything bad to happen to him.

She then tried convincing herself that she was worrying about him for her children’s sake, as he wasstill their father at the end of the day.

The light breezes seemed to carry the smell of romance surrounding the two as they silentlyunderstood what the other was really thinking…

Just then, news about Cecilia had finally arrived. “She’s awake! Miss Smith is finally awake!”

Giving each other a glance, Stefan and Renee also went over to take a look.novelbin

Cecilia seemed to have ingested too much water, so she was unconscious for quite some time. Afterthe rescue team did their best to save her, she was finally able to vomit the seawater and regain herbreathing.

Although she was laying in Christopher’s arms, her eyes darted wildly around the crowd, as if she waslooking for a certain someone.
