Chapter 1019
As expected, she saw Stefan lying beside a flat rock on the river.
"Stefan!"
Great joy overcame her. She ignored the scratches on her legs and rushed toward him rapidly.
Having choked on water, he appeared to have passed out. Like Renee, his body was filled with cuts and gashes. On
the other hand, his left leg had relapsed from his old injury, and it could not move it at all.
"Hold on. You must hold on!"
Deep excruciating pain overcame her now. It was deep heartache.
While crying, she suppressed her deep pain and brought him to the river bank. After that, she bent down to give
him CPR.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis lips were as cold as his body. That perfect and handsome face had lost its rosiness because he’d been soaking
in the water for too long. His face had lost all its color and was as white as a sheet... as if he was dead.
"Wake up! Stefan, wake up!"
Renee pressed on his chest quickly and gave him oxygen through his lips. At the same time, she could not hold back
her tears.
She had encountered an endless stream of major and minor accidents all these years, but she had never been so
panicked and afraid.
Even though she had long made up her mind that she would have no future with him, she still wished that he could
be safe and happy.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Stefan finally regained consciousness under Renee’s desperate attempts to rescue him. He grabbed her hand
tightly as if he was a man in hell, holding onto the only connection he had with this world.
"Oh, great! Stefan, hold tight. The rescue team will come soon..."
Renee continued to bend down to give him CPR.
His lips were once so familiar to her, and she yearned for them so much. At last, his lips were gradually warmed.
Stefan had yet to regain his wits fully. He was in a halfconscious state, as if stepping on clouds. He felt as light as a
feather, and he could not tell if he was dreaming or if it was reality.
The only thought he had now was to save Renee and to ensure her safety even though he was blind and could not
see.
"Renee... Don't be scared. I'm coming to save you. I'll save you!"
With his eyes closed, he furrowed his brows in pain and muttered endlessly.
"What did you say? How do you feel now?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRenee could not tell if he was awake or in a coma, so she leaned her ear close to his lips to listen to his murmur.
"Renee, I'll protect you. I'll protect you no matter where you are..."
Stefan could feel Renee, so he tried his best to hold her hand tightly.
"Silly man. Why were you so silly? You risked your life for me so many times. You're so silly..."
Hugging him, Renee cried desperately.
Of course, she would be moved no matter how unfeeling and rational she was after she learned that he loved her
so deeply.
"I'm not afraid. With you by my side, I'm fearless. We must hang tough and stay alive..."
While she spoke, her breathing became weaker. Suddenly, she felt extremely sleepy as her body caved to the
effects of exhaustion and hypothermia.
After a while, both Jovan and Seraphina reached the downstream location with the rescue team and found the two
on the verge of death.
They huddled together like two vines that were entangled with each other. Though they had fainted, they had
become a part of each other.
"They’re breathing! They're alive!"
