The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Chapter 1655
Stefan tried to pacify Renee patiently, sounding more gentle than when he tried to comfort Abby.
"I don't want to forgive you, you'll just do it again! I want to give you up; I wouldn't be this helpless when
I'm in pain then..." Renee muttered crossly." You're my painkiller, but I'm slowly building resistance
towards you. I didn’t feel so bad when I didn't see you for ten days or half a month before this, but I feel
so sad when I don't see you for just a day. I don't want this!" If there was drug resistance, she had to
increase the dosage to numb the pain, but... Stefan wasn't a drug. What would she do if he refused to
help her stop the pain one day?
"That'll never happen, I promise. I'll give you all my time as long as you
need me..." After a pause, Stefan added seriously, "Plus, I'm not a painkiller -I'm the drug that can bring
you back to life. I'll cure you. Owen told me that he could make the antidote in three days at most. You
won't be in pain again."
"Really?" Renee asked in disbelief "How did he do it? He said that he had to know the components of
the poison if he wanted to find the antidote. I've been waiting for Tess to give me that information, but I
guess she must have encountered some trouble because I haven't heard from her in a while. How did
he find out its components?"
"Umm..." Stefan frowned guiltily and looked away. Even if Renee was blind, he couldn't bear to look at
her. "Dr. Wagner is an excellent doctor. You know that, don't you? Plus, it's just heavy metal poisoning,
he can figure it out from just a day in the laboratory."
"Is that so? That's great then." Renee nodded slowly and stopped asking about it. Stefan couldn't tell

whether she really believed him or if she felt she wouldn't get anything more out of him even if she
asked.
Stefan pestered Renee shamelessly until she stopped being mad at him, then hugged her and
hummed a slow song to comfort her. Renee's pain gradually began to fade, and she fell asleep in his
arms. After that, he gently laid her on the bed and snuck out of the room.
Margaret was waiting outside. She shot Stefan a sharp look and asked meaningfully, "Mr. Hunt, you
look tired. You must have been very busy last night. You didn't sleep well, did you?"
"Umm... I had something on yesterday." Stefan massaged his temples wearily. It wasn't physical stress,
it was purely mental exhaustion. No one would be energetic after continuous stress regardless of how
strong they were. Stefan was only human-he'd found it hard to hold on after everything that happened
yesterday, and just wanted to have a good rest to reboot himself.
"You and Ms. Ren have it hard. You've hurt her countless times, and I always thought that things
wouldn't end well for both of you, but... Ms. Ren only cares about you, so I have to go against my
wishes and support your relationship." Margaret took a deep breath, her expression cold. "If you have
wronged Ms. Ren, I hope you can hide it well. In fact, it's best if you can hide it forever. If not... we won't
let you off the hook!"
