The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 1097

Jovan finally fell asleep shortly after, with a faint and sweet smile plastered on his face. Like an actual child, he treated Renee as the center of his life.

When Renee was around, everything was sunshine and rainbows. Even the air tasted sweet to him. However, on the contrary, it felt as if the world was ending once she left his side. He wouldn't even have the will to live on without her.

He knew that it was absolutely insane to feel this way, but he couldn't help it. Her presence was far too addictive.

Renee silently watched the man sleep and sighed. She would be lying if she said she wasn't tired. In fact, she was both physically and mentally exhausted.

Jovan had always been a madman, and his methods were rather extreme. Back then, he had always been an 'all-or-nothing' guy and loved creating chaos in any situation.

Yet now, he was as tame as a little kitten. He was no longer reckless or arrogant and had placed her on a pedestal. It was as if he had completely turned into a different person.

However, this shift only made Renee feel more guilty. She found him far too pitiful, as he couldn't act as freely as he used to. It was painful to watch him being so careful with life.

All of this was her fault.

She was then reminded that she had bumped into Stefan earlier that morning, which made her oddly frustrated and annoyed. 'Why is this man walking straight into my peaceful life again? We're not even supposed to see each other again! Why is he messing with my heart!'

'But… It's my fault for not moving on completely… I'm such a despicable person!'

The woman soon left the ward and arrived at a dark stairway before lighting a cigarette.

The sparks of flames flickered in the pitch darkness, along with the thin layer of smoke painting the air. The smell of nicotine helped her relax.

"Who knows? Maybe it has some sort of special meaning… like a gift out of love?"

At the bottom of the staircase, Renee could hear their entire conversation. Her chest tightened as curiosity attacked her mind, so she asked, "How is that patient? Is she alright?"

The nurses jumped in surprise as soon as they heard someone suddenly speak.

They couldn't see the woman properly, but one of them responded truthfully, "We… We're not sure yet. Do you know Miss Murphy too?"

"No, I… I don't. I'm just curious." Renee quickly denied.

"Are you blind? It's Joan. Everyone in our hospital knows that she's been closely taking care of Van for the longest time. How would she ever know who Miss Murphy is?" The other nurse chimed in.
