Renee left the fort with Joanne, and they soon arrived at a hospital in the city.
Joanne was placed on a stretcher and pushed into a surgery room quickly.
"Doctor, please save her. You have to save her!" Renee begged pitifully as she followed them. They had gone through so much to save Joanne, and Liam had even been forced into a marriage; she did not want all their sacrifices to go to waste.
"We'll try our best," the doctor said solemnly, and then the door to the surgery room was closed.
Exhausted and dejected, Renee sat down on a chair in the waiting area. Helplessness overwhelmed her, and she stared at the floor absently. She wanted to sleep in a nice, warm bed or rest her head on someone's shoulder.
At that moment, she saw a pair of long legs striding aloofly towards her.
The crisp suit set off the slimness of the man's legs, and it was clear that the person was tall and attractive.
Renee raised her head and met the man's cold gaze. Her eyes were filled with tears, so her vision was slightly blurred. Her eyes widened, and she wondered if she was hallucinating.
"Stefan, what… are you doing here?" Renee rubbed her eyes in disbelief. After all the challenges she had faced recently, seeing a familiar face amidst her helplessness was heartwarming.
"If they weren't powerful, I wouldn't have gone there. They're really quite cruel." When Renee recalled her experience there, her blood ran cold.
They were savage, cruel, and lawless.
"I've worked with them before—they're even more ruthless than your brother. Were you courting death?" Stefan scoffed. If he hadn't investigated Renee and Liam's whereabouts before he contacted Benjamin, the results would have been unimaginable.
Realisation dawned on Renee. After staring at Stefan for a while, she said icily, "You must have said the right thing since Benjamin let Joanne and me go without much of a fight."
