The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei
Chapter 286

Chapter 286

Renee dragged the unconscious Xavier through the raging fire and managed to escape with much difficulty.

She was completely exhausted. She lay on the ground with Xavier, panting heavily.

She looked up at the blue sky with the cool wind brushing against her skin. Life had never felt so valuable to Renee!

A fire engine approached the scene. A team of firemen got out and prepared the equipment to put out the fire.

"How are you doing?"

Paramedics dressed in white carried a stretcher towards Renee and Xavier.

Renee quickly got up and said, distressed, "I'm fine. Please help him. His leg is broken and he needs immediate treatment!"

"He got injured trying to save me. You have to save him no matter what. Please..."

Renee grabbed the paramedic's arm and cried.

She had just examined Xavier a bit and could tell how severely hurt he was. She could clearly feel the dislocation of his right calf bone.

If he became a cripple, she would never be able to forgive herself.

"Don't worry, we'll do our best to save him."

The paramedic comforted Renee and carried Xavier, who had passed out, onto the ambulance.

At first, Renee wanted to hop on too, but when she looked back, she saw her home that had been burned to pieces, and it pained her immensely.

She suddenly recalled something, and her small face went taut. Without saying a word, she tried to rush into the sea of fire. "What are you doing, ma'am? It's too dangerous. Please stay away from the fire!"

A firefighter stepped forward to stop her.

Renee ignored his warning and screamed, "My stuff! Things that are very important to me are still in there! I have to go get them!"

"The fire is too strong. If you go in there now, you'll get killed. No matter how important those things are, they're not as important as your life. Please don't put yourself in danger..."

"Let me go! I need to get in there! Let go!"

The firefighter tried his best to persuade Renee but could not stop her from trying to "kill herself". The situation was getting out of control.

At that moment, a screech could be heard, the sound of a sports car's tires rubbing strongly against the ground.

Stefan opened the door and walked out of the car coldly.

"Stop making a scene!"

His cold voice, like an imperial edict, instantly calmed the chaotic situation.

The moment Renee saw Stefan, tears burst out of her uncontrollably. She was like a bullied child who saw her father. He gave her a strong sense of security.

"Why are you yelling at me? My things are still in there, and they won't let me in. I need to go get them!"

Renee broke down, pounding on the man's chest without holding back to vent her emotions.

Even though she was a very strong woman, she was still a woman. After going through such a dangerous and terrible experience, she would feel vulnerable too.

She didn't know why, but he was the only one she would show her vulnerable side to...

"It's okay. It's okay."

Stefan, as if he was coaxing a child, took Renee into his arms, stroked her messy hair, wiped her dirty face, and said calmly, Wait for me in the car. What do you want to get? I'll get them for you."

Renee obediently did as he asked. She said, "Dad's painting and the map Mom left me... in my bedroom on the second floor!"

"Got it."

Stefan asked the paramedics nearby to take care of Renee.

Then, he covered his mouth and nose with a wet towel, grabbed a fire extinguisher, and rushed straight into the fire...

Everybody there was shocked. A firefighter shouted, "Mr. Hunt, stop! It's too dangerous! Come back!"

Renee was originally panicking and was hell-bent on retrieving her parents' belongings, but she did not expect Stefan to actually risk his life going into the fire to retrieve them.

The shouts instantly jolted her awake, as if from a dream. She suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation. She shouted into the fire, "Are you crazy? Come back here! I don't want those things anymore! Come back!"

Stefan, of course, could not hear her. Braving the thick smoke, he pushed through all obstacles and looked everywhere for the things Renee mentioned.
