Chapter 426

Liam couldn't bear seeing Renee like this, and said, "Don't worry, just rest first. I'll go ask the doctor about his condition. I'm sure Hunt is fine - you know how tough he is."

"That's true, that guy really is a tough cookie! Waves couldn't drown him, and fire didn't bother him either! A little fall is probably nothing to him!" Renee finally felt much more relaxed, urging Liam instead. "Well, don't waste any more time on me, go look for a doctor! If you won't, I'll just have to do it myself!"

"Don't move, I'll go right now!' Liam said as he stood up to leave.

However, he was still rather uneasy, pointing at the food he brought. "I hope you finish this before I come back, Boss. You know your body best, and think of the kids... What would they do if you starve yourself till it affects your health?"

After Liam left, Renee still had no appetite due to her anxiety. She couldn't imagine Stefan losing his life or his leg just because of this incident. She had no idea how she could possibly live with the guilt for the rest of her life.

In a few minutes, Liam headed back to the ward, his expression grim.

"So? How is he? What did the doctor say?" Renee asked impatiently. If she weren't confined to her bed, she would've rushed over to see him herself.

Liam didn't answer her question, and instead looked at the untouched meal in front of her. He seemed annoyed as he said, "What's with you? Didn't I tell you to eat? You've been starving this whole time, and you just underwent surgery! Do you even value your life?! How could you not eat anything?"

"Don't be mad, Liam, I know you're worried about me, but please be more considerate. How could I possibly be in the mood to eat when Hunt is still in critical condition? Not to mention that he might lose a leg!" Renee's eyes reddened as she held back tears.

"Stop beating around the bush... Just tell me which treatment the doctors have decided on!"

Liam hesitated for a brief moment and then responded, "Some experts rushed over just a while ago, and said his condition wasn't severe enough to perform amputation, so they chose to go with conservative treatment. All he needs to do is get plenty of rest after the surgery."

"Really?" Renee was doubtful, as she remembered how bad the man's condition was a while ago. Not only was his life at risk, they had even considered amputation, so it was simply odd that his condition didn't seem serious anymore.

"You're not lying to me because you don't want me to worry, right?"

Liam immediately denied it. "Boss, I swear on my life that I've always been loyal to you. When have I ever lied to you?"

'So why is it that you seem so unhappy? It's like you've seen something bad, ' Renee said hesitantly.FindNovel.com fast update

Liam explained. "It'd be even weirder if I'm happy, okay? That guy's my top rival! If they really amputated his leg or he died, I would have been celebrating!"

"Now that he's fine, he'll be the hero who saved you despite his injuries! It feels like I'm bound to lose this fight. How am I supposed to be happy then?■

Hearing the man's explanation, Renee immediately calmed down and flashed a soft smile at Liam. "Good to hear that he's okay. Now I can finally eat and rest well. Otherwise, I'd feel guilty for even breathing if I owed him such a big favor!"

"Well, what did I say? That guy is tough, so you didn't have to worry about him at all. Eat now, it'd be bad if you encounter health issues from starving yourself when that guy is perfectly fine..."

"You're right, and I'm really hungry too!" Renee brightened up instantly, bringing the bowl to her mouth as she scarfed down on the congee.

However, as she was focused on her meal, she didn't notice Liam's odd expression, and he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh
