The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 438

Francine collected herself, preparing to go on yet another rant.

Just then, Briar interrupted her with a darkened expression, turning towards Renee. "Miss Everheart, we actually came to ask if you know of Stef's whereabouts. It's been an entire day, and we've tried everything we could to contact him. For some reason, we just couldn't reach him, and he wouldn't pick up the phone! We're worried something might've happened to him…"

"You can't reach him?" Renee frowned, visibly confused. "That's not right. He already went through surgery, so he should've called you guys the moment he woke up."

"What? Surgery?!" Francine jumped abruptly, her expression panicked as she continued, "What kind of surgery? Where is he now? What happened to him?"

"Uhm…" Renee read Francine's reactions and realized she might not know anything about the accident.

After a brief pause, she decided to tell the truth. "I fell down a cliff and injured my leg. He hurt himself while trying to save me, and I heard he actually suffered worse injuries than me."

"He underwent surgery not long ago, so he should be resting in one of the wards like me. Why don't you just… ask the hospital staff?"

"Really?!" The color drained from Francine's face, and she muttered to herself, "My son has to be safe! He has to!"

Stefan was her only child now, and her only hope. She was so overprotective of him that she would even panic the moment he got a paper cut.

Coincidentally, a nurse came into the ward to change Renee's bandages.
