The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Seraphina approached Stefan and caressed his back gently with one hand, all while intertwining their fingers with the other. It
made them look as if they were an old couple who had been married for decades.
“Why didn’t you inform me before entering, attendant? Can’t you see you startled my boyfriend?” Seraphina’s expression was
cold and arrogant.
Such arrogance normally would only show on Renee’s heart, as she was absolutely confident in their relationship.
She no longer felt this confidence now. When faced with Stefan and Seraphina’s lovey-dovey actions, she just stood out like a
big third wheel.
However, Renee had always been a headstrong person, with almost every fiber of her body being delinquent.
Even with the pain in her heart and the tears flooding in her eyes, her expression was determined. She smiled spitefully. “Don’t
be a stranger, Miss Murphy. I’m sure I don’t need to make reservations to see Stefan with how deep our relationship goes.”
“You!” Seraphina gritted her teeth, clearly frustrated. “You’re just here to change his bandages, so know your place! We don’t
need you here anymore. Get lost.”
“I don’t think you have a say in this. Stefan does.” Renee looked towards the man, her chilling gaze softened as she said,
“Stefan, I know you’re still mad at me. That’s why you’re pretending that you can’t recognize my voice, right?”
“You have every right to be mad. I admit that I have been a total jerk, and I’ve gotten my punishment. I only came here to help,
so... please don’t chase me away.”
Stefan was silent, pressing his lips together and furrowing his brows. His expression was filled with genuine confusion. It didn’t
seem like he was putting up an act.
Seraphina felt uneasy after seeing this. She let go of Stefan’s hand and shoved Renee to the side. “That’s enough! He just
survived life-threatening surgery, so stop bothering him! Do you need him dead before you’re satisfied?!”
Renee, however, ignored the screaming woman and continued staring at Stefan, waiting for his answer.
“I will only listen to him. If he wants me gone, I will leave. But if he wants me to stay, I’m not going anywhere.”
Seeing how she couldn’t coerce Renee, Seraphina could only turn to Stefan. “Stef, this woman is a scoundrel! She’s only getting
close to you because of her ulterior motives! Don’t give her hope. Just tell her to get out!”

“Ulterior motives?” Stefan’s frown grew deeper, his tone cold. “Didn’t you say she was just an attendant? I don’t think she would
dare to hold any motives. So why don’t we just let her change my bandages?”
“Stef!!” Seraphina yelled and stomped her feet angrily, upset that she had once again lost to Renee. “I don’t like her! She’s
definitely here to seduce you! I won’t allow this!”
“Oh, you!” Stefan grabbed Seraphina by the waist with his movable arm and spoke in a loving tone.
“You know how I feel about you. There’s no need to feel threatened. I just asked her to stay because we need someone to help
you with these tedious tasks. Your hands are soft and dainty. We can’t possibly let any medicinal cream hurt these beautiful
hands now, can we?”
The man then lowered his head to peck the back of Seraphina’s hand ever so softly. His carefulness made it seem as if he was
kissing the most precious treasure he had ever had.
Renee was silent, feeling as if her heart was being pierced by thousands of needles. Every heartbeat tore her wounds further.
She was initially quite happy that he let her stay, but now it seemed that this decision was no different than punishment.
After receiving reassurance, Seraphina felt as if she could rule the world. Moreover, seeing Renee’s pained expression gave her
a great sense of satisfaction.
“Okay then, she can stay. She’s just an attendant anyway. She is no match for me.”
She then pointed towards the antiseptic cream on the nightstand and ordered Renee arrogantly. “What are you standing there
for? Stefan’s wounds are very deep, you know? You have to get the dressing changed every three hours, so get to work!”
“Okay!”
