As the two headed to a safer area, Christopher sat her down gently and whispered, "Sorry if I've

crossed your boundaries. I was acting out of panic as well. I hope you understand."

"It's alright. I should be thanking you, actually. I was being too rash," Renee replied, calming down and

realizing she had momentarily lost it.

She put some thought into this and asked herself, 'What does my exhusband's life have to do with me?

We're already divorced.'

However, despite regaining her rationality, Renee still continued staring out into the ocean, crossing her

arms before her chest. She started calling out to the man in her head, 'Come back, Stefan Hunt. For

the sake of your two children, I'm begging you to come back!'

After that, as if the man himself had heard her pleas, she witnessed a miracle happening right before

her eyes.

Stefan, who had disappeared into the waves earlier, was able to swim against the current, returning to

the shore with his extraordinary swimming skills.

"They're back! They're back!" Everyone was overjoyed, quickly going forth to give him a hand.

Stefan was absolutely exhausted by that point. As he handed Cecilia to Christopher and Xavier, he

immediately lay flat on the ground, panting heavily.

"My daughter! Oh, my precious daughter! How are you feeling right now? It's Mom and Dad! Please

just say something!" Cecilia's mother cried as hard as she could, knowing everyone was now focusing

on saving the woman’s life.

Renee, on the other hand, approached Stefan. As she hid her joyful tears away, she put up a

nonchalant act while speaking in a sarcastic tone.

"Hah, as expected of Mr. Hunt, I suppose. Who knew you'd be brave enough to swim into the deep

zone? I wonder if you just decided that you needed to save the sharks by volunteering as food? How

touching! You're just willing to sacrifice yourself for a greater cause!"

Stefan, consumed by fatigue, simply didn't have the energy to talk to her. All he could think about now

was how adorable Renee's face looked under the warm sunlight. It looked like she had a halo around

her, making his heart skip a beat.

“Maybe I should start calling you Mr. Nice Guy since you're just SO brave." Renee continued on saying

these unnecessary matters, but took this chance to express concern, despite still hiding it in a

dismissive tone. "So? How are you, Mr. Nice Guy? How are you holding up? Do you need a doctor? ■

Finally, Stefan managed to catch his breath but acted like his life was on the line. He looked towards

the woman weakly and said, "I... I can't breathe

"You can't breathe?" Renee frowned, doubting him slightly.

'Can people still remain conscious and speak when they can't breathe?' She wondered.

"Quickly!" Stefan closed his eyes, panting feebly. "I need air!"

"Does that mean you need CPR?"

"Something like that, yeah,” Stefan replied, looking like he was in immense pain.

Renee furrowed her eyebrows and pondered for a few seconds, then snapped her fingers. “Well... I'll

think of something! Just hold on, okay?”

Stefan then closed his eyes, unable to hide the tiny smile on his face like a childish boy. He couldn't

wait to receive 'CPR' from her...

"Are you ready?" Renee took a deep breath and asked bashfully.

“Yes." Stefan nodded and felt a pair of lips smashing into his, yet the feeling was completely different

from what he longed for.

Realizing that something was off, the man opened his eyes, enraged.

"Everheart!!"
