Chapter 416
"I'll come with you. No matter what, the child was innocent." With that, Renee chose to head to the
cemetery with Stefan and Briar. It was located on the west side of Beach City, and was surrounded by
a large forest. With the tombs built within such a secluded area, it seemed rather eerie from the
outside.
Renee was sitting in the backseat at the time, watching as the car drove by the woods, her expression
rather gloomy. She knew that the child had been the victim here, and whatever was going on between
her and Briar had to be put aside for now.
She couldn't deny that she had harmed an innocent life.
The atmosphere in the vehicle was extremely tense, with the only sound in the car being Briar's
sobbing. Although Renee hated Briar, she understood how painful it was for a mother to experience
such a thing.

Briar turned to look at her with teary eyes, and shook her head. "Miss Everheart, I'm not trying to put up
a pitiful act in front of you. I really am in pain, and I’m afraid..."
"I beg of you, please stop appearing before me and Stefan. Every time I see you, I will only be
reminded of how you pushed me to the ground, and how it felt when I was losing my child. I-'
'That’s enough, there's no need to bring all this up if it upsets you." Stefan's dismissive glare interrupted
Briar's pleas. It was obvious that he didn't want Renee to avoid him for Briar's sake.xo.com fast

However, Renee quickly replied, "Don't worry, you don't have to tell me twice. I truly wish you both the
best."
Since they were on the topic anyway, she decided to give them some suggestions. "Since you two are
going to spend the rest of your lives together, you must still want children, right? When I was studying
abroad, I made friends with this professor from the University of Calley. They were researching a
procedure to create an artificial uterus. I can help you both ask if it's possible in your situation, and how
to safely deliver a child of your own..."
Renee figured that Stefan wouldn't fight for custody once they had their own children, not even if he
found out about Adie and Abby's existence. Moreover, she would also be able to make up for her
mistakes.
She genuinely thought it was the perfect plan.
"Really? Can we really do that?" Briar's eyes lit up, a sudden liveliness returning to her soulless
expression.
"If a procedure like that does exist, please let me know! I just want to help continue the Hunt family's
bloodline, and have no more regrets... You'll support me, right, Stef?" Briar said eagerly.
Stefan was silent, frowning slightly as he focused on the road. However, anyone could tell that he was
upset with the conversation, as his expression spoke volumes.
Renee was worried that Stefan would disagree, so she told him sincerely,' Mr. Hunt, you're not getting

heir, but the child might improve your relationship with Miss Desrosiers..."
"Don't worry about the procedure, there have already been a few successful precedents. It's just due to
legalities that it hasn't been officially released to the public yet. I have some connections, so as long as
you're willing, I can help you apply for it. You-"
"Enough!" Stefan's expression was icy as he slammed his hand on the steering wheel. The loud honk
made both Renee and Briar jump in shock.
Stefan shot both of them a dirty glare, then stared at Renee through the rear view mirror and huffed
coldly, "If you're really that passionate about helping us, why don't you do something practical instead?"
'How can I help? I can do anything as long as you're willing to have children!" Renee said excitedly.
"No matter how great this artificial uterus is, it's bound to pose some kind of risk. Rather than helping
us apply for the procedure, why don't you just offer yourself up instead?"
Renee nearly choked on her own saliva after hearing the man's words. "Are you insane, Hunt?! How is
that the same?"
