Chapter 47
When Stefan woke up, he realized he was lying on the hospital bed. The nurse came in and was glad
to see him awake. “Mr. Hunt, you’re finally awake. You’ve been in a coma for an entire day.”
“An entire day?”
‘Shit!’ he cursed inwardly.
His blood phobia was getting so serious that he kept fainting at critical times. The last thing he
remembered before blacking out was Renee getting shot. At the thought of this, his heart tightened.
He grabbed the nurse’s arm and asked coldly, “How’s Rence? Is she okay?”
Stefan’s sudden movement caught the nurse off guard. “You mean Mrs. Hunt? She only needed a
slight patching up. She left after bringing you here yesterday,” she said cautiously. 1)
“A slight patching up?”
When he heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that her injuries weren’t as serious as he had imagined them to be.
“Yes. after she was done, she left with Mr. Osborne,” the nurse added.
“She left with Liam?!” When Stefan heard this, he instantly asked to complete the checkout procedure.
Ding Dong!
Renee had just boiled her noodles when she heard the doorbell rung. )

She furrowed her eyebrows and thought, ‘Liam is such an annoying man. I just sent him away, and he’s
back again. It’s just a slight graze and not that big of a deal! Is it that hard to ask for some time alone?’
She panicked as she opened the door and found Stefan waiting outside.
“W-why are you here?” (1)
‘Shouldn’t he be in the hospital? I heard that he has a serious issue of blood phobia!’ she thought to
herself.
“Are you alone?”
Stefan didn’t answer her question but questioned her instead. His sharp gaze swept over Renee’s head
as he observed the room as if he was here to catch the mistress.
“That has nothing to do with you.”
“What do you mean nothing? Even if we’re not husband and wife, we’re still neighbors. It’s not wrong
for me to care for my neighbor.” As he spoke, he pushed past her and entered her house.
Renee was left speechless. She wondered why she had never noticed how shameless he was before
this.
‘When I was his wife, he had never cared for me. Now he’s showing so much concern for me as a
neighbor?”
After Stefan had checked every corner of her house and was sure only she was home, his cold face
began to show
warmth.
“You’re only eating this for dinner?”
When he saw the instant noodle cup on the table, he couldn’t help but frown.

“Yes. My hand is hurt, so I can’t cook, and the food outside isn’t clean.”
Her instant noodle was imported and of great quality and nutritional value.
“You’re so lazy!”
Although complaining, he walked to the kitchen and began looking for ingredients. Her refrigerator had
few ingredients, but he made three dishes and a soup for her.
“I didn’t know that you could cook.” (1)
Renee had a new perspective of the cold and noble man before her after seeing the food on the table.
“There are many things about me that you don’t know,” he said as he put the food on her plate.
The bullet hurt Renee’s right hand, so she could only hold the spoon with her left hand. Seeing this, he
took the spoon over and fed her.
‘This… isn’t really appropriate, right?’ Renee thought as she blushed.
It was an intimate and romantic gesture for him to feed her!
“Open your mouth,” Stefan said forcefully.
Hearing this, she could only helplessly cooperate with him and do as he said. After trying the food, she
had to admit that his cooking skills were good. (1)
“Women are so troublesome!”

Although Stefan seemed to be complaining about it, his movements when he fed her were full of
gentleness.
It seemed like they had a tacit understanding as they stayed silent during the meal.
As Renee ate, she felt tears pooling in her eyes. She had imagined this moment innumerable times
during the last four years. As his wife, she didn’t expect him to adore her; she was content if he could
spare some time to eat with
her.
Yet she was always alone at the dining table for that four years.
She was too lonely in her marriage.
The dining table was empty, and so was the bed. Even her heart was empty.
Now that he wanted to accompany her, she didn’t need him anymore.
She felt that it was good to be alone.
“I’m full. Thank you for taking care of me. You can return to your own home now, neighbor.”
Renee wiped away her tears and held her heart at bay as she tried to get Stefan to leave. However,
Stefan was in no rush to go as he slowly put down the spoon and informed her, “I’ll live here until you’re
fully recovered.” (1
“It’s not necessary.” Renee refused immediately.
“What you say doesn’t matter.”
With that, he carried her and said, “Now, I’ll bathe you and get you ready for bed.”
‘What does he plan to do?’ Renee wondered nervously.
