Chapter 420
The man then got into his car and sped towards the forest as fast as he could. Francine's casual chit-
chat during dinner had reminded him that the cemetery indeed had complex terrains, with smog all
around it. He was worried that something might've happened to Renee.
Although the possibility was extremely low, he still had to personally investigate the area to ease his
anxiety.
The car continued racing through the night, with its headlights being the only light source.
Stefan was gripping the steering wheel tightly, scanning the area with his sharp gaze, all while loudly
calling out to the woman.
’Renee!"
Night time in the forest was exceedingly quiet. Any sudden sounds would echo through it loudly,
startling the birds nearby.
Soon, he had reached the area where he had kicked Renee out, and he got out of the car right away.

hoarse.
However, all he received in response was either crows cawing or endless silence.
As he continued to shout, Stefan found the whole thing rather foolish. He thought to himself, 'Everheart
is probably at home, sleeping soundly in bed right now. However, I'm here acting like an idiot, just
because of that small possibility that she might be stranded here. Look at me, yelling over and over
again in this eerie place... If someone saw me right now, they'd think I'm possessed!'
Stefan balled his fists up slowly, telling himself that he had to stop this silly behavior if no one answered
after three more attempts.
"Everheart, if you don't respond, I'm leaving!" Stefan shouted dejectedly.
Renee, who was still at the bottom of the cliff, was semi-conscious at that point. Fatigued and in pain,
she was almost out of energy. More importantly, she was starving, to the point she felt like she was
going to faint.
Suddenly, she could somewhat hear someone shouting her name, and realized that the voice belonged
to Stefan.
At first, she was rather excited, thinking that she was finally going to be saved. However, she realized
that it'd be embarrassing to be saved by that man, and she would be owing him a favor if he did.
Hence, she purposefully refused to answer. It was only until she heard Stefan saying that he'd be
leaving, that she felt alarmed enough to let out a soft cough.
She coughed so softly that it was barely any louder than the rustling of leaves, and she didn't expect
the man to hear her at all. However, Stefan seemed to have extraordinary hearing, and was able to
catch her coughing immediately.
'Is that you, Everheart? Where are you?"
In the pitch black darkness, along with the complicated pathways and dense forest, he wasn't able to
pinpoint the woman's location at all.
Renee let out another two coughs, still refusing to respond properly. However, this time, she made sure
to cough much louder than before.

Stefan was quick to catch on, his body tensed up and his face filled with worry. "Stay where you are!
Don't be scared, I'm coming to save you!"
He then rushed over in the direction of the sound without any hesitation. Renee was alarmed and
immediately tried to stop him. ' Hey, don't come over just yet! Be careful-"xo.com fast update
Before she could finish her sentence, a loud thud echoed through the forest as Stefan slipped and fell
down the cliff.
If Renee hadn't moved aside, enduring the pain in her leg, she would've likely been crushed under the
weight of this 'fallen object'.
"Phew, that was close!" Renee patted her chest, calming her rapidly beating heart, her expression
terrified.
She sarcastically thought to herself, 'Many thanks, dear savior!'
After that, she turned to where Stefan had fallen, unable to assess his current situation. ’Hunt, how are
you? Have you fainted?"
"...I'm not that weak.
