The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47

When Stefan woke up, he realized he was lying on the hospital bed. The nurse came in and was glad to see him awake. “Mr. Hunt, you’re finally awake. You’ve been in a coma for an entire day.”

“An entire day?”

‘Shit!’ he cursed inwardly.

His blood phobia was getting so serious that he kept fainting at critical times. The last thing he remembered before blacking out was Renee getting shot. At the thought of this, his heart tightened.

He grabbed the nurse’s arm and asked coldly, “How’s Rence? Is she okay?”

Stefan’s sudden movement caught the nurse off guard. “You mean Mrs. Hunt? She only needed a slight patching up. She left after bringing you here yesterday,” she said cautiously. 1)

“A slight patching up?”

When he heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that her injuries weren’t as serious as he had imagined them to be.

“Yes. after she was done, she left with Mr. Osborne,” the nurse added.

“She left with Liam?!” When Stefan heard this, he instantly asked to complete the checkout procedure.

Ding Dong!

Renee had just boiled her noodles when she heard the doorbell rung. )

She furrowed her eyebrows and thought, ‘Liam is such an annoying man. I just sent him away, and he’s back again. It’s just a slight graze and not that big of a deal! Is it that hard to ask for some time alone?’

She panicked as she opened the door and found Stefan waiting outside.

“W-why are you here?” (1)

‘Shouldn’t he be in the hospital? I heard that he has a serious issue of blood phobia!’ she thought to herself.

“Are you alone?”

Stefan didn’t answer her question but questioned her instead. His sharp gaze swept over Renee’s head as he observed the room as if he was here to catch the mistress.

“That has nothing to do with you.”

“What do you mean nothing? Even if we’re not husband and wife, we’re still neighbors. It’s not wrong for me to care for my neighbor.” As he spoke, he pushed past her and entered her house.

Renee was left speechless. She wondered why she had never noticed how shameless he was before this.

‘When I was his wife, he had never cared for me. Now he’s showing so much concern for me as a neighbor?”

After Stefan had checked every corner of her house and was sure only she was home, his cold face began to show

warmth.

“You’re only eating this for dinner?”

When he saw the instant noodle cup on the table, he couldn’t help but frown.

As Renee ate, she felt tears pooling in her eyes. She had imagined this moment innumerable times during the last four years. As his wife, she didn’t expect him to adore her; she was content if he could spare some time to eat with

her.

Yet she was always alone at the dining table for that four years.

She was too lonely in her marriage.

The dining table was empty, and so was the bed. Even her heart was empty.

Now that he wanted to accompany her, she didn’t need him anymore.

She felt that it was good to be alone.

“I’m full. Thank you for taking care of me. You can return to your own home now, neighbor.”

Renee wiped away her tears and held her heart at bay as she tried to get Stefan to leave. However, Stefan was in no rush to go as he slowly put down the spoon and informed her, “I’ll live here until you’re fully recovered.” (1

“It’s not necessary.” Renee refused immediately.

“What you say doesn’t matter.”

With that, he carried her and said, “Now, I’ll bathe you and get you ready for bed.”

‘What does he plan to do?’ Renee wondered nervously.
