The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 600
"He's... he’s dead?"
Margaret was shocked. She struggled to process the sudden news.
How could a person who had everything like him die just like that?!
"Yes, he's dead. If I'm not wrong, he probably died because he tried to save me."
Renee spoke with difficulty, her expression heavy.
Although Francine believed that there was foul play in Stefan's death, Renee still felt responsible.
If he didn't hurt his leg trying to save her, his life would not be in danger, and the people who wished to cause him harm would
not have an opportunity to take advantage of.
"For real?"
Margaret found Renee's words hard to believe.
Stefan was a heartless beast. He caused Miss Ren a lot of pain. There's no way he would sacrifice himself to save Miss Ren.
There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
Tm not sure if it's true either, but from the information I gathered, I might not necessarily be the direct cause of his death, but I do
have to bear some responsibility. I feel... a little sad.”
Renee lowered her head and spoke quietly, her voice so low that it almost seemed like she was talking to herself.
Yes, she was sad.
She kept pretending like she did not care, as if Stefan's death had no impact on her.
But at night, when she was alone, she had to admit that she felt a bit sad.
"Are you sad because you feel guilty, or because you still can't let go?"
Margaret asked a sharp question.

"I don't know. I only remember that the moment I found out he was no longer alive, my heart suddenly became empty, like there
was a small dot of emptiness that rapidly spread and turned into a black hole-like abyss. It constantly devours my will, making
me less and less like myself and less and less rational..."
At this point, Renee curled up in pain. She hugged her head and kept repeating, ’I don't know what's wrong with me, I don't
know..."
Margaret hugged Renee lovingly and gently coaxed her like she always did when Renee was a child. "Alright, Miss Ren, don't be
sad anymore. It's all over. Yes, you two were married, but you've been apart for so long. If he's gone, he's gone. Don't let him
affect your mood."
"But he died because he saved me. I feel so bad. My heart feels so empty... Margaret, I didn't lose anything, so why would I feel
so empty?"
Renee looked at Margaret with tears in her eyes. Facing the nanny who brought her up from a young age who was also the
person she was closest to, she no longer wanted to pretend to be strong.
‘That's... Miss Ren, don't cry, don’t cry. The dead cannot come back to life. If you've never forgotten him, you should have
returned to Beach City sometime in the last four years to rekindle your relationship with him. No matter what the outcome may
be, at least you would have no regrets."
Margaret patted Renee's back and sighed. ’That Stefan Hunt... he seemed invincible, unbreakable, but he actually died at such a
young age. What a shame."
"Miss Ren, maybe he's not dead? Maybe he has to fake his death for some reason."
"I don't know. The Hunt family has already chosen a grave for him. His corpse has already been cremated."
"If he's not dead, what would you do? Would you give him another chance and start over with him?"
Margaret was hoping for a miracle. She hoped that she would suddenly receive news of Stefan's revival when she woke up
tomorrow.
"If he's not actually dead and is only pretending to be dead, I would hate him forever. I would not forgive him or believe him ever
again. He doesn't deserve my tears and sadness!"

Renee's eyes were cold and her tone was determined.
Margaret shook her head and pointed out, 'You and Stefan Hunt are destined to be a bitter couple. When you're alive, you hurt
each other, but when one of you dies, you make the other person feel sad. Aren't you just torturing yourselves?"
"I....."
"Listen to me. Dry your tears and stop feeling sad. Just pretend that he's still alive somewhere in the world, but your lives will
never intersect again, just like how it was in the last four years. You've already let go and you're finally living your own life again,
so why go back?" "Margaret, you're right. I was too emotional. I shouldn't have let someone who no longer exists affect me so
much. I'll let go of all these messy emotions like I did before. Only without love can I live a carefree life!"
