Semua Bab The Untouchable Ex-Wife: Bab 1471 - Bab 1480

Francine hesitated briefly, then finally agreed to Elijah's suggestion. Adie entered the ward alone, and walked through the long vestibule. After a while, he saw Stefan, who was sitting on a hospital bed. Since Stefan had just had surgery, his head was wrapped in bandages, and he looked rather weak. His lips were pale, and it looked like he might faint at any second. The strangest thing about him though, were his eyes. They used to be sharp and bright, but now, they were void and blank. The great Stefan Hunt looked like a zombie.Initially, Adie has been very dissatisfied with Stefan, but after he saw how pitiful he looked, he felt sorry for him. He couldn't even find the words to insult Stefan, and after staring at him for a while, the little boy carefully whispered, "Stefan?"Stefan had been staring outside the window, but when he heard Adie, he turned to him with bright eyes. "You're... Adie?" Images flooded Stefan's mind, and the last one was a lovely memory of him and his

Adie looked at Stefan solemnly. "My mommy might be in trouble because even though she couldn't do video calls, she could still make voice calls. I don't think she's being controlled by someone, and I've already found her location… but I can't save her. I need your help.""What?" Anxiety seized Stefan when he recalled that Renee's last location had been in Jovan's manor. He clenched his fists, ashamed at himself for thinking that she had been on a date with Jovan when there was clearly something more sinister at hand. If she wasn't in trouble, she would have surely had a video call with her children. "Stop daydreaming. Are you going to help or not? If you can't, I'm going to call the cops and ask them for help." Adie had regarded Stefan as his last resort, and he could only call the cops if Stefan refused to help. However, he knew that the cops would be very slow, and they would definitely ask for evidence. In fact, the cops might not even take him seriously since he was just a child

Adie immediately felt relieved, and warned Stefan, "You have to keep your word and come see my mommy, or... I'll deduct 100 points!""Don't worry, I'll keep my word. We can pinky swear on it." Stefan smiled affectionately at Adie and held his hand out."How childish! Only kids do pinky swears," Adie scoffed, but still walked over and hooked his pinky with Stefan's. He glared at Stefan and said, "It's a deal. Don't break it."Margaret took Adie's hand and they left the room, but Francine quickly caught up to them. She couldn't bear to see Adie leave. "Are you going home so soon? How was your chat with your daddy, Adie? Did he remember who you were?" Francine rarely met Adie, so she always cherished every second she had with him."It wasn't too bad. I gave him one point," Adie said coolly. Honestly, he didn't feel much for his grandmother because he didn't spend much time with her. He was on Renee's side, so naturally, he regarded Stefan and those around Stefan as his enemies. He kne

"It's okay, I won't force you to answer since you've just recovered!" Francine interrupted Stefan quickly. She didn't want him to say no, and besides, everything depended on whether Renee would accept him. She thought about it for a while, then suggested, "If you're worried about your incompatibility, I'll go to The Soul Rocks to ask the expert there to help you. I'll make sure to get rid of all obstacles for you." Elijah gave Francine a thumbs-up. "That's a great idea, Madam Francine." After that, he looked at Stefan. "Please rest well, Mr. Hunt. We'll try and help you settle Ms. Everheart's issue and the company affairs. For now, the most important thing is for you to rest well and get better." The harmonious atmosphere was interrupted by a bodyguard running into the room, looking distraught. "Madam, please come out for a while. We need your help to handle something."Francine glared at the bodyguard and said to Stefan, "Rest well, Stef. I'll go and see what the uproar is about.

Francine's admiration for Adie grew when she heard what he had done. She felt that Adie had taken after his mother and grandmother, and he was much better than his reserved father. Adie was a promising candidate to run Hunt Enterprise in the future, and he might even be more capable than his father. "Your grandson nearly got my daughter killed, and you're laughing? Are you mocking her?" Ethan blustered, his face red in anger. He had wanted Francine to feel guilty, but it looked like she was more amused than anything about the whole incident.Francine snorted. "Yeah, I'm mocking her. She's an adult, but she was bested by a kid. Isn't it ridiculous?" After that, she took a step toward Ethan and said fiercely, "And for your information, I'm fully aware of my grandson's character—he'd never attack someone unless they provoked him first. The better question is why he pushed your daughter into the pond; I think you'd better ask your daughter about it before putting on a show here." "Fra
