The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei
Chapter 1655

Chapter 1655

Stefan tried to pacify Renee patiently, sounding more gentle than when he tried to comfort Abby.

"I don't want to forgive you, you'll just do it again! I want to give you up; I wouldn't be this helpless when I'm in pain then..." Renee muttered crossly." You're my painkiller, but I'm slowly building resistance towards you. I didn't feel so bad when I didn't see you for ten days or half a month before this, but I feel so sad when I don't see you for just a day. I don't want this!" If there was drug resistance, she had to increase the dosage to numb the pain, but... Stefan wasn't a drug. What would she do if he refused to help her stop the pain one day?

"That'll never happen, I promise. I'll give you all my time as long as you

need me..." After a pause, Stefan added seriously, "Plus, I'm not a painkiller -I'm the drug that can bring you back to life. I'll cure you. Owen told me that he could make the antidote in three days at most. You won't be in pain again."

"Really?" Renee asked in disbelief "How did he do it? He said that he had to know the components of the poison if he wanted to find the antidote. I've been waiting for Tess to give me that information, but I guess she must have encountered some trouble because I haven't heard from her in a while. How did he find out its components?"

"Umm..." Stefan frowned guiltily and looked away. Even if Renee was blind, he couldn't bear to look at her. "Dr. Wagner is an excellent doctor. You know that, don't you? Plus, it's just heavy metal poisoning, he can figure it out from just a day in the laboratory."

"Is that so? That's great then." Renee nodded slowly and stopped asking about it. Stefan couldn't tell whether she really believed him or if she felt she wouldn't get anything more out of him even if she asked.

Stefan pestered Renee shamelessly until she stopped being mad at him, then hugged her and hummed a slow song to comfort her. Renee's pain gradually began to fade, and she fell asleep in his arms. After that, he gently laid her on the bed and snuck out of the room.

Margaret was waiting outside. She shot Stefan a sharp look and asked meaningfully, "Mr. Hunt, you look tired. You must have been very busy last night. You didn't sleep well, did you?"

"Umm... I had something on yesterday." Stefan massaged his temples wearily. It wasn't physical stress, it was purely mental exhaustion. No one would be energetic after continuous stress regardless of how strong they were. Stefan was only human-he'd found it hard to hold on after everything that happened yesterday, and just wanted to have a good rest to reboot himself. "You and Ms. Ren have it hard. You've hurt her countless times, and I always thought that things wouldn't end well for both of you, but... Ms. Ren only cares about you, so I have to go against my wishes and support your relationship." Margaret took a deep breath, her expression cold. "If you have wronged Ms. Ren, I hope you can hide it well. In fact, it's best if you can hide it forever. If not... we won't let you off the hook!"
