The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 1039

Renee stayed quiet, not uttering a word the whole time. However, this only piqued the man's interest further.

"Is your identity classified? Why won't you even tell me your name?" Stefan continued questioning, persistent to get an answer.

Renee bit down on her lips. After a few moments of hesitation, she replied clearly, "No, not classified. My name is Renee Everheart, do you know me, Mr. Hunt?"

"How could you go back on your word, Everheart!" Seraphina shoved Renee aside, visibly agitated.

She felt as if Renee was about to snatch her precious toy, which gave her the urge to fight the woman right there and then.

"Renee Everheart…" Stefan repeated the name over and over again, trying his best to look through his memory but to no avail. His expression was cold and solemn.

Renee was disappointed, but let out a sigh of relief. She responded lightly, "Don't waste your energy, Mr. Hunt. You definitely won't remember anything, we don't know each other at all. I only know of you because I was also admitted to the hospital a few days ago."

"We really don't know each other?" Stefan's cold face was filled with doubt.

Although he had received surgery, his brain was still completely intact.

In fact, he was more sharp and intelligent than before, he refused to believe that they did not know each other.

"Yeah, I was sent to the emergency room the same time you did. And I heard from my nurse that your condition was super bad, and you might die! I nearly died too, so I was thinking if we could meet up in the afterlife, it'd be less boring to have a companion after death…" Renee spouted a bunch of nonsense with a serious expression.

She took the cup from the man and gave him a considerate massage. "Now you got your answer. You have no relation to her, and she's just a stranger to you. You don't have to mind her that much."

"Yeah, I was indeed overthinking. I thought we had some kind of special relationship." Stefan held Seraphina's hand as he chuckled at himself, finding himself quite ridiculous for thinking otherwise.

Seeing that the man drank the medicine, Renee's mood improved as well, so much so that she made a joke. "Awh, is being afterlife buddies not special enough? I'm going to be sad if that's the case, Mr. Hunt."

"You're right, friends and lovers can be found easily during our mortal lifetimes, but it's hard to meet an afterlife buddy. So I guess, it is fate, in a way."

"Then get some rest now, buddy. I'll serve you some more medicine tomorrow."
