Chapter 439
Renee felt as if she was about to explode after hearing Briar's words. She glared at her and thought to herself, 'Ha, good one,
woman. You were clearly implying that I have something to hide, so don't act like you're helping me! Now I'm really going to be
blamed for whatever this is!'
’Desrosiers, so you're saying I'm threatening the nurse on purpose, so she won't reveal Hunt's condition to you?"
"I didn't mean that, Miss Everheart, please don't assume things. Unless... you really are hiding something."
"What do I have to hide? I myself want to know of his condition too! I feel very bad that he injured himself while saving me,
alright?"
"How would I know what you're thinking, Miss Everheart? There's a possibility that you want to avoid taking responsibility if Stefs
condition is worsening, so..."
The two then started fighting with one another, each providing quite valid arguments.
’Enough!" Francine yelled furiously, causing the entire room to fall silent. Her face was frosty as she pointed at the nurse
menacingly. "I don't care who's threatening you at this point, just tell us everything you know. Or else ... I'll make sure you'll
understand the consequences of upsetting me!"
’I'll... I'll tell you everything!" Although the nurse was afraid of Liam's revenge, she knew that Francine would definitely kill her on
the spot if she didn't talk.
"Honestly... Only Mr. Osborne and Miss Everheart know of Mr. Hunt's whereabouts and condition. I just received news... that..."
The nurse glanced carefully at Renee once more.
This made Renee feel even worse, and she snapped,"Stop looking at me. Just tell us everything, and be completely honest!"
Briarchimed in as well. "That's right, tell us everything, no one would dare to harm you with us having your back!"
The nurse gulped. "The last news I received regarding Mr. Hunt's condition ... was that his life was at risk. Even if he were to
survive, his leg would have to be amputated! As for his current condition, you'll have to ask Mr.
Osborne and Miss Everheart instead!"
"What?! His life is at risk? Am... Amputation?!" Francine felt light-headed, nearly losing her balance after hearing that.
"Careful, Miss Francine!" Briar quickly caught her, then shot Renee a dirty glare. "How are you going to gaslight your way out of
this one, Everheart?! Just look at what you've done! What happened to Stef?! Why won't you tell us?! Where is he now?"
’I don't know of his condition either, let alone where he is now..." Renee was confused. "I just heard from Liam that his surgery
was a success, and that his condition had stabilized!"
"I even thought you brought him to a better hospital to receive treatment!
Why... How could you not know anything about his situation?!"
"Sure, keep up that act of yours!" Briar snapped. "If we knew about his situation, why would we come all the way here just to ask
you about it?!"
"You must be working with Liam to kidnap Stef! And I have reason to suspect that... everything was just your ploy! You pretended
to be injured so that you could lure Stef over, since you knew he'd save you! You did all this just so you could have a chance to
harm him!"
"I didn't!" Renee denied the accusations coldly. "It's not like I have a lot of free time on my hands! I don't even have a motive!"
"You do!" Francine had already lost all rationality, lunging towards Renee and shaking her. "Tell me where my son is now! Where
is he?
