Chapter 339
Stefan felt like he had fallen into an abyss. He felt like he was about to die, and his expression wasstrained. He wanted to crawl out of the abyss, but it was too dark, and he could not find anything tohold onto. Delirious, he muttered, “Hold me!”
Suddenly, a small, warm hand reached out and held his. It felt like his saviour had found him, and histense muscles gradually relaxed.
He even heard a tender voice, as if someone was calling after his lost soul. ‘ Stefan, it’s okay, I got you.You need to wake up now…”
Stefan followed the voice and slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Renee’s beautifulfeatures creased with worry.
“You’re awake! You scared me.” She heaved a long sigh of relief.
Stefan had been unconscious for three days because of his hemophobia. The doctors had triedeverything they could to wake him up, but nothing worked. Diagnostic tests had shown that many of hisorgans were failing, and if he stayed in that condition, he would have died.
Renee had rushed to the hospital after Stefan and Briar did and had stayed by his bedside. She hadcalled his name repeatedly until her voice turned hoarse, and at last, she had managed to wake himup.
Stefan’s gaze was frighteningly aloof. He abruptly sat up and demanded coldly, “Where are Briar andthe baby? Are they okay?”
Renee felt a slight ache in her heart. At first, she thought that Stefan was just fooling around with Briar,but now it seemed like that was not the case. He loved Briar sincerely. She pulled her hand away andnovelbin
answered honestly, “Briar is still in the ICU because the doctors want to observe her condition.”
“How about the baby? Is the baby all right?” Stefan quickly asked.
“The baby…” Renee lowered her head because she did not know how to answer that question.
“Tell me – is the baby okay?” Stefan’s eyes were wild as he grabbed her shoulders and asked sternly.
“Stefan, calm down. You’re hurting me!’ Renee gasped, wanting to break free from his grasp.
“I’m hurting you?” He had lost control of himself. He stared at Renee coldly as if he was looking at amurderer. “If anything happens to the baby, I’ll not just hurt you… I’ll kill you!’
This upset Renee, and she snapped stubbornly, “Well, you might as well get it over with because thebaby is dead…”
“What?”Stefan whispered, his face turning pale. At first, he was still hopeful. He thought that thedoctors could save the baby with their excellent medical skills.
However, Renee’s current words had destroyed all his hope.
Of course, Renee was hurt when she looked at his panic-stricken face. She felt like she had beenwronged, and despite wanting to apologize and console him, her broken heart drove her to do theexact opposite. “You want to kill me, don’t you? Why are you hesitating? Hurry up and kill me! I’m just amurderer, and you have to avenge your baby!”
It was like she was trying to see whether he really cared about her.
Stefan felt so guilty towards Tristan that hatred for himself and Renee consumed him. He abruptlygrabbed her neck and stared coldly at her with a kind of ruthlessness she had never seen before. “Doyou think I won’t do it?’
