Chapter 416
“I’ll come with you. No matter what, the child was innocent.” With that, Renee chose to head to thecemetery with Stefan and Briar. It was located on the west side of Beach City, and was surrounded bya large forest. With the tombs built within such a secluded area, it seemed rather eerie from theoutside.
Renee was sitting in the backseat at the time, watching as the car drove by the woods, her expressionrather gloomy. She knew that the child had been the victim here, and whatever was going on betweenher and Briar had to be put aside for now.
She couldn’t deny that she had harmed an innocent life.
The atmosphere in the vehicle was extremely tense, with the only sound in the car being Briar’ssobbing. Although Renee hated Briar, she understood how painful it was for a mother to experiencesuch a thing.
“Here.” She handed Briar a piece of tissue.
Briar turned to look at her with teary eyes, and shook her head. “Miss Everheart, I’m not trying to put upa pitiful act in front of you. I really am in pain, and I’m afraid…”
“I beg of you, please stop appearing before me and Stefan. Every time I see you, I will only bereminded of how you pushed me to the ground, and how it felt when I was losing my child. I-‘
‘That’s enough, there’s no need to bring all this up if it upsets you.” Stefan’s dismissive glare interruptedBriar’s pleas. It was obvious that he didn’t want Renee to avoid him for Briar’s sake.
However, Renee quickly replied, “Don’t worry, you don’t have to tell me twice. I truly wish you both thebest.”
Since they were on the topic anyway, she decided to give them some suggestions. “Since you two aregoing to spend the rest of your lives together, you must still want children, right? When I was studyingabroad, I made friends with this professor from the University of Calley. They were researching aprocedure to create an artificial uterus. I can help you both ask if it’s possible in your situation, and howto safely deliver a child of your own…”
Renee figured that Stefan wouldn’t fight for custody once they had their own children, not even if hefound out about Adie and Abby’s existence. Moreover, she would also be able to make up for hermistakes.
She genuinely thought it was the perfect plan.
“Really? Can we really do that?” Briar’s eyes lit up, a sudden liveliness returning to her soullessexpression.
“If a procedure like that does exist, please let me know! I just want to help continue the Hunt family’sbloodline, and have no more regrets… You’ll support me, right, Stef?” Briar said eagerly.
Stefan was silent, frowning slightly as he focused on the road. However, anyone could tell that he wasupset with the conversation, as his expression spoke volumes.
Renee was worried that Stefan would disagree, so she told him sincerely,’ Mr. Hunt, you’re not gettingany younger. You’ll be thirty soon, so you should have a child before then. Not only can you birth anheir, but the child might improve your relationship with Miss Desrosiers…”
“Don’t worry about the procedure, there have already been a few successful precedents. It’s just due tolegalities that it hasn’t been officially released to the public yet. I have some connections, so as long asyou’re willing, I can help you apply for it. You-“
“Enough!” Stefan’s expression was icy as he slammed his hand on the steering wheel. The loud honkmade both Renee and Briar jump in shock.
Stefan shot both of them a dirty glare, then stared at Renee through the rear view mirror and huffedcoldly, “If you’re really that passionate about helping us, why don’t you do something practical instead?”
‘How can I help? I can do anything as long as you’re willing to have children!” Renee said excitedly.novelbin
“No matter how great this artificial uterus is, it’s bound to pose some kind of risk. Rather than helpingus apply for the procedure, why don’t you just offer yourself up instead?”
Renee nearly choked on her own saliva after hearing the man’s words. “Are you insane, Hunt?! How isthat the same?”
