The man then got into his car and sped towards the forest as fast as he could. Francine’s casual chit-chat during dinner had reminded him that the cemetery indeed had complex terrains, with smog allaround it. He was worried that something might’ve happened to Renee.
Although the possibility was extremely low, he still had to personally investigate the area to ease hisanxiety.novelbin
The car continued racing through the night, with its headlights being the only light source.
Stefan was gripping the steering wheel tightly, scanning the area with his sharp gaze, all while loudlycalling out to the woman.
’Renee!”
Night time in the forest was exceedingly quiet. Any sudden sounds would echo through it loudly,startling the birds nearby.
Soon, he had reached the area where he had kicked Renee out, and he got out of the car right away.
“Where are you, Renee Everheart?! Answer me!” Stefan yelled louder than before, his voice turninghoarse.
However, all he received in response was either crows cawing or endless silence.
As he continued to shout, Stefan found the whole thing rather foolish. He thought to himself, ‘Everheartis probably at home, sleeping soundly in bed right now. However, I’m here acting like an idiot, justbecause of that small possibility that she might be stranded here. Look at me, yelling over and overagain in this eerie place… If someone saw me right now, they’d think I’m possessed!’
Stefan balled his fists up slowly, telling himself that he had to stop this silly behavior if no one answeredafter three more attempts.
“Everheart, if you don’t respond, I’m leaving!” Stefan shouted dejectedly.
Renee, who was still at the bottom of the cliff, was semi-conscious at that point. Fatigued and in pain,she was almost out of energy. More importantly, she was starving, to the point she felt like she wasgoing to faint.
Suddenly, she could somewhat hear someone shouting her name, and realized that the voice belongedto Stefan.
At first, she was rather excited, thinking that she was finally going to be saved. However, she realizedthat it’d be embarrassing to be saved by that man, and she would be owing him a favor if he did.
Hence, she purposefully refused to answer. It was only until she heard Stefan saying that he’d beleaving, that she felt alarmed enough to let out a soft cough.
She coughed so softly that it was barely any louder than the rustling of leaves, and she didn’t expectthe man to hear her at all. However, Stefan seemed to have extraordinary hearing, and was able tocatch her coughing immediately.
‘Is that you, Everheart? Where are you?”
In the pitch black darkness, along with the complicated pathways and dense forest, he wasn’t able topinpoint the woman’s location at all.
Renee let out another two coughs, still refusing to respond properly. However, this time, she made sureto cough much louder than before.
Stefan was quick to catch on, his body tensed up and his face filled with worry. “Stay where you are!Don’t be scared, I’m coming to save you!”
He then rushed over in the direction of the sound without any hesitation. Renee was alarmed andimmediately tried to stop him. ‘ Hey, don’t come over just yet! Be careful-“
Before she could finish her sentence, a loud thud echoed through the forest as Stefan slipped and felldown the cliff.
If Renee hadn’t moved aside, enduring the pain in her leg, she would’ve likely been crushed under theweight of this ‘fallen object’.
“Phew, that was close!” Renee patted her chest, calming her rapidly beating heart, her expressionterrified.
She sarcastically thought to herself, ‘Many thanks, dear savior!’
After that, she turned to where Stefan had fallen, unable to assess his current situation. ’Hunt, how areyou? Have you fainted?”
“…I’m not that weak.
