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

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!"
"Nonsense! I weigh less than 120 pounds, okay?! You're just too weak! How are you already sweating
from carrying me?! What a waste of a fit body!" Renee sputtered as she whacked Stefan's back lightly.
She thought to herself, 'I was worrying for nothing! Hunt is so egotistical - if he was injured, he'd ditch
me in a heartbeat! He wouldn't even be in the mood to joke around or call me a pig!'
The two stopped bantering, as Stefan was focusing on enduring the pain. Soon enough, they were able
to reach the main road.
He opened his car door and placed Renee in the backseat. "Stay in the car for the time being, and
check if there's any signal here. Have someone save you... I just wonder how well you've been eating
to become this heavy, but I'm not going to question anything anymore."
"You and your damn insults... If I do find someone to get us out of here, you're done for!" Renee said as
she checked the phone. She excitedly squealed as she noticed two lines on the signal bar. "There's a
signal!xo.com fast update
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCome on, tell me your password! I'll call someone over right now!"
Stefan didn't say anything, his hand still placed on his left leg as his expression grew more and more
pained. His fingers were drenched in blood.
"Why aren't you saying anything? What's your password?" Renee looked at the man, urging him in
panic.
Stefan initially wanted to snatch his phone from her, but was worried about Renee finding out about his
wounds. After a short pause, he said softly, ’ 000809."
"000809? Okay, got it!" Renee immediately entered the password, wondering why that string of
numbers seemed familiar.
"Wait, does this password have some kind of special meaning behind it? Why does it feel like I've seen
it somewhere?" "It doesn't. Just make the call, quick!" Stefan said, as he was at his limit. The sheer
amount of pain was making his face turn pale and sweat drip down his face
