The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 1653
After that, Briar boldly stood on tiptoe and hooked her arms around Stefan's neck.
Stefan remained silent and didn’t push Briar away. His thoughts were unknown.
Renee woke up from heart-wrenching pain the next day.
"Stefan, Stefan..." She subconsciously shouted Stefan's name. Her pain had subsided a little ever since Stefan had found out
about it, and she even considered him her painkiller, but something felt off today. Stefan always appeared whenever she called
for him, but she had heard nothing from him since yesterday. She had no idea where he was.
"What do you need help with, Ms. Ren?” Margaret rushed into the room when she heard Renee crying out pitifully. She felt very
sorry for Renee.
"Margaret, it hurts. It hurts so much..." Renee stopped acting strong when she heard Margaret's voice, and burst into tears.
Margaret was the nanny who had raised Renee, and often acted like Renee's mother. People needed their mothers the most
when they were in pain.

"I'm here, Ms. Ren. I'm here..." Sobbing, Margaret held Renee's hand and felt her pulse. She became very worried. "Oh, my!
Your pulse is a mess, you must be in terrible pain. The poison has to be removed soon!" Margaret was aware that someone had
poisoned Renee, and had been trying her best to come up with an antidote, but she needed to know the components of the
poison. The medicine she made could only relieve pain temporarily and help with Renee's concentration, but it could not
eliminate the poison in her body. Margaret saw Renee's health getting worse, and her faint pulse filled Margaret with
helplessness. Renee had such a difficult life, and when something good finally came around, this happened... If her late parents
knew, they would not be able to rest in peace.
"Margaret, where is Stefan? Ask him to come here. I want him!" Renee became muddle-headed because of the pain, and kept
asking for Stefan like a child wanting their favorite toy.
"Umm... Mr. Hunt is out. Just wait for a little longer, okay? He might be busy with work." Margaret knew that Stefan hadn't
returned since yesterday. She’d tried calling him but he had switched off his phone. It disappointed her since Renee was going
through so much pain.
"No, he said he would be with me. He said he wanted to share my pain. He wouldn't leave me alone... He... Did something
happen to him?" Renee knew Stefan well. She could tell that he was no longer in the mood to work, so it was not because of his
work that his phone was unreachable.
"He is my medicine, Margaret... Please help me get him. I'm in so much pain. I want him here with me." Renee writhed in pain on
the bed. All she knew was that she wanted Stefan by her side...
