Stefan’s grip on Renee’s neck tightened as his emotions overwhelmed him. At that moment, he


    seemed to have lost control of himself. He just wanted an outlet to release his guilt and anger, so his


    mind wasn’t thinking straight.


    Renee was in too much pain to say anything. She stared at him calmly, but tears had welled up in her


    eyes. She could definitely fight back, but she did not struggle – she just suffered in silence.


    It was because Briar had lost her child because of Renee’s careless mistake. If Stefan wanted her to


    pay the price with her life, then she would make it up to them with her and her two babies’ lives. She


    would rather die at his hand than spend the rest of her life living in guilt.


    After a while, her vision started fading to ck, and her eyelids fluttered. She closed her eyes in deep


    pain and bitter disappointment…


    However, Stefan could not bear to do that. He pushed her away with thest bit of rationality that was


    left in him.

    Renee gasped for air, coughing painfully as she took in deep breaths. ’You nearly seeded. Why did


    you stop? Don’t you feel sorry for your kid who died?” Renee choked out hoarsely, a desperate smile


    on her face. It was as if she wanted him to punish her and rid her of the guilt.


    ’Shut up!” Stefan clenched his fists, using all his willpower to hold himself back. It was true that he


    hated Renee’s cruelty, but he hated himself more for being so incapable. He had failed to protect the


    only child histe brother left in this world, and did not even have the courage to avenge that innocent


    life.


    He was really a coward.


    Stefan stared at her coldly and said, “From today onwards, we’re strangers. I don’t want to see you


    again for the rest of my life!”


    Renee’s heart broke, and she fought to keep herself from crying. With thest bit of pride she had, she


    straightened her back and shrugged casually.” That’s fine with me. We have to keep our word and


    never see each other again!”


    After that, she turned around to leave. However, when she reached the door, she turned to look at


    Stefan as she said fiercely, ’Stefan, I gave you a chance to avenge the child, but you failed to do so.


    You won’t get another opportunity like that again!’


    He lowered his gaze and clenched his fists, then snarled, “Get lost!’


    He never imagined that they would miss each other for so many years just because of those words


    they said in a fit of anger…


    A few dayster, Briar was out of danger, and she was transferred to a normal ward from the ICU.


    Stefan took care of her meticulously out of guilt, but though her body had slowly recovered, she was


    now suffering from a serious mental illness. She refused to eat, drink, or sleep, and if Stefan was not


    around, she would make a scene and try to kill herself.
