"What''s the matter, Renee?" Jeffrey had never heard Renee curse before.


    However, Renee ignored him as she peered at her phone screen closely. She was pretty sure that she


    had seen Stefan like her post just now, maybe out of ident or for some other reason. However, it


    had onlysted for a second before he canceled it. Hope burned in her, and she suddenly felt alive


    again. That meant that Stefan was still alive, and he''d been watching her. After calming herself down,


    she texted Stefan.


    [Where are you? I saw you liked my post. Can''t you say it to my face? stop hiding like a tortoise!]


    A few minutes went by, but there was no response.


    [I''m very grateful to you for everything you''ve done for me. I know the disgusting things you did behind


    my back too, but it isn''t important. I just want you toe back and exin everything to me, okay?


    We love each other. Are you trying to drive me mad? I can date someone else too as long as you make


    it clear to me. I''ll leave and won''t trouble you anymore!]


    Renee kept texting him. She wondered if he found her annoying, but she couldn''t just ignore it. The


    person she missed every day had disappeared just like that, and she didn''t even know if he was still


    alive. It tortured her mind endlessly, but suddenly, Stefan appeared. He had been watching her all


    along. Renee felt like she was going mad. She tried to give him a video call, but there was no


    response. "You jerk! You''re a coward! If I go mad one day, it''ll be because of you!" Renee howled,


    sending Stefan a long voice message.


    Jeffrey''s eyes widened in shock. Although he didn''t know what the situation was, he couldn''t bear


    seeing her like this. "Renee, calm down. Tell me what''s going on, and I''ll try my best to help you if I


    can..." Jeffrey knew that Renee was probably upset because of a man, and he was heartbroken


    not knowing how to pull Renee out of that grief.


    "You want to help me?" Renee smiled bitterly and shook her head. "No, no one can help me. I created


    this cage and locked myself in. I don''t want to leave it. I know I''m just torturing myself, but... I just want


    to know if he’s alive. I can let it go then, but his message is clear-he''s still alive but doesn''t want to see


    me. He might have a new lover and wants to break up with me, but he just doesn''t want me to pester


    him. Maybe he''s hoping I have some self-awareness, but I... Why am I so stubborn?"


    Jeffrey whispered, "If he has a new lover and wants to break up with you, you should stop pestering


    him. Protect your dignity. The Renee I know is straightforward and confident, and would never lose her


    mind over a man."

    "Yeah, how did I turn out like this?" Renee covered her face in humiliation." I can leave him... but I just


    don''t want to. I want closure. I don''t want him to keep me guessing. I don''t even know if he''s alive or


    dead!"
