The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 422

"Huh?" Renee stared at the man's wide shoulders under the dim moonlight. She looked rather hesitant and replied, "That's not appropriate, is it?"

"Stop dawdling. If you won't get on, I'll just leave you here," Stefan said frostily. In reality, he knew that he didn't have much time with his dislocated leg, and that he wouldn't be able to help if they kept stalling.

"Ah, fine, fine. If you insist," Renee said and put her arms around the man's neck, putting her entire weight on him.

"Hold on tight." Stefan reminded the woman and tried his best to stand up. Despite his tall build, having to endure this extraweight made him sway back and forth unsteadily.

Renee held her breath, not daring to move a muscle, and asked softly, "Hey, are you okay? Why do I feel like you're having a hard time carrying me? It's like you're about to faint!"

"I'm… fine!" Stefan said with difficulty, gritting his teeth.

It was as if his left shin bone had fractured, with the pain piercing his flesh like thousands of needles.

His forehead, back and palms were covered in sweat, but he knew he couldn't stop, nor could he let Renee notice his wounds. With that, he kept climbing towards the main road, one step at a time, willingly enduring the intense pain…

"Hey Hunt, are you sure you're okay? Why do I feel like you're trembling?" Renee asked carefully. She had a feeling that the man was in a rather bad condition, but didn't dare to ask much. She didn't want him to misunderstand her intentions and think that she was being overly worried about him.

"Why would I not be okay? Do you think I'm as fragile as you are?" Stefan mustered up all his strength to act normal. "Oh wait, no. You're way too heavy to be fragile, you're as fat as a pig!"
