Apparently, the person giving him CPR wasn’t Renee, who he initially expected. Instead, it was one of


    the members of the rescue team, a tanned burly man.


    “Damn it!” Stefan immediately leaped from the ground, pushing the burly man harshly and forcing him


    ten feet away.


    Seeing this, Renee was overwhelmed with glee. “Oh my god, you’re alive, Stefan Hunt! Thank the


    stars!”


    “Did you do that on purpose, Everheart?!” Stefan looked exceedingly disgusted as he wiped his mouth


    over and over using the back of his hand.


    He thought to himself, ‘That was so humiliating! I cant believe that I, Stefan Hunt, was tricked! I cannot


    ept this. I won’t let this damn brat off so easily!’


    However, Renee was clueless about Stefan’s intentions from the start. She truly believed that the man


    needed CPR and went out of her way to find the best professional around them.


    Seeing how energetic the man seemed, Renee was genuinely happy that he was no longer in critical


    condition. She instinctively gave him a big hug, whimpering. “Thank god, Stefan Hunt! You’re alive! You


    really are a tough cookie, just like Christopher said!”


    Stefan’s rage was instantly reced with calmness as he felt the woman’s soft touch. Not just that, but


    she really was expressing concern toward him. It was rather hard for him to get mad at her at this


    point…


    Unfamiliar with this version of Renee, who seemed to care about his wellbeing a lot, Stefan cleared his


    throat and joked around with her.


    “If you’re so scared of me dying, why would you say you’d never shed a tear for me if I did? You little


    liar.”

    The man’s words snapped Renee back to reality, which made her let go of him, keeping her distance.


    “You don’t even cherish your own life! Of course, I wouldn’t cry over your death.”


    “But these tear streaks…”


    “I just got some sand in my eyes, that’s all!’


    “And what about your dress? It’s drenched. Did you try to dive in to save me?“


    “That’s… I just like walking by the seaside! What does that have anything to do with you?” Renee


    refused to admit just how much she worried about the man.


    Stefan seemed to have understood this and nodded gently. As if he was trying tofort her, he said,


    ’Alright, alright, I know you don’t care. Then you shouldn’t be too worried if anything like this happens


    again. Just know that I wille back safely, no matter what.“


    “Again?!” Renee frowned deeply, as if she had just heard something absurd, and pped the man


    across the face.


    She then warned him, shoving her fist in front of his face. “Just die if you dare to act so recklessly


    again! Then you won’t make anyone else worry about you anymore!”


    “Worry?’ Stefan smiled as he questioned back. “Didn’t you say you don’t care about me?”


    This time, Renee was unable toe up with a proper reply. It was obvious. She clearly hadn’t moved


    on from the man yet, no matter how much she wanted to deny it. Her entire being was constantly


    worrying about him. She never wanted anything bad to happen to him.


    She then tried convincing herself that she was worrying about him for her children’s sake, as he was


    still their father at the end of the day.


    The light breezes seemed to carry the smell of romance surrounding the two as they silently


    understood what the other was really thinking…


    Just then, news about Cecilia had finally arrived. “She’s awake! Miss Smith is finally awake!”


    Giving each other a nce, Stefan and Renee also went over to take a look.


    Cecilia seemed to have ingested too much water, so she was unconscious for quite some time. After


    the rescue team did their best to save her, she was finally able to vomit the seawater and regain her


    breathing.


    Although she wasying in Christopher’s arms, her eyes darted wildly around the crowd, as if she was


    looking for a certain someone.
