The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 1643
Stefan stormed up the stairs, livid.
"Mr. Hunt, there you are. How are the test results? Can I help... Ah!"
Stefan pushed Shirley away rudely. He had no patience to be polite or talk to anyone-all he wanted to do was see Renee.
Meanwhile, Renee was lying in bed, suffering both physical and psychological pain. Her slim body was curled into a tiny ball, and
she was as pale as a ghost.
Stefan sneaked into the room quietly, holding his breath as he neared the bed. As he watched her tremble and writhe in pain,
tears filled his eyes. He didn't dare to speak because she might pretend she was okay if she knew he was there. She would force
a smile even if she was in pain.
What a failure of a husband he was.
His wife had been suffering so much, but he didn't even know it. When she laid on the cold surgery table to remove their child, he
hadn't been with her. 1
"Ugh!” As the anesthesia wore off and the pain of the poison returned, Renee's stomach and body ached. It was a gnawing pain
that gripped her whole body, and no words could describe it. Heavy metal poisoning harmed the nerves, which was more painful
than muscular or bone pain.
Renee had been suffering through that pain every day.

She didn't realize Stefan was there until she heard a choked sob.
"Stefan?" She called out tentatively. She tried her best to straighten her body and smooth her brows, masking the pain.
"Just cry if it hurts. Don't hold it in." Stefan's face was full of tears. Renee wasn't the only one who was suffering and in pain.
"Haha! You're talking nonsense again. I'm not hurt, it's just that... my back is itchy. I've been through a lot, and this is just a minor
surgery. It doesn't hurt at all," Renee teased stubbornly and she did not want him to hurt as much as she did.
"Stop acting strong. I know everything." Stefan sounded guilty and remorseful, and he gently held her hand. "Why didn't you tell
me? Why would you bear all this alone? I'm your husband-the person you're spending your whole life with. I have the right to
know."
Stunned, Renee sighed deeply. "Dr. Wagner really can't keep his mouth shut. He promised to keep my secret..."
Stefan remained silent because he was crying uncontrollably.
"Crybaby, why are you crying again?" When Renee reached out and felt warm tears on his face, she felt helpless. "This is why I
didn't tell you. Look at you-you're crying so much, but I can't even wipe away your tears. I can just suffer alone; we don't have to
suffer together."
"Silly, you can't say that..." After taking a deep breath, Stefan kissed the back of Renee's hand gently. "The pain will be reduced
by half if we share it. That way, you'll get better soon!"
