The Untouchable Ex-Wife

“What do you mean?”

Renee was confused.

“According to your HCG levels, it seems that you’re carrying twins. And it’s very likely a baby boy and girl…”

The doctor sounded full of pity. “Forget about regular twins, do you know how low are the chances of conceiving fraternal twins? It’s a miracle that they were conceived in the first place. Are you really sure you want to abort them?”

“F… Fraternal twins?” Renee felt another wave of mixed emotions rising within her chest as she looked at the report.

“Besides that, due to your physical condition, you aren’t one to get pregnant easily. Should you proceed with the surgery, it’d be pretty difficult to conceive a second time. I’d advise you to think it over once more.”

After that, the doctor adjusted her mask and turned to the door. “Next patient, please.”

A nurse approached Renee and said, “If you have made up your mind, please follow me to the changing room.”

Sometime later, the red light in front of the surgery room was switched on. Renee walked over to the operating table with an expressionless face, wearing a surgery gown… Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

The night was freezing cold, as Renee headed to the very same restaurant from yesterday after her trip to the clinic.

She was in distress and wanted to drink her frustrations away. Despite that, she still ended up ordering a glass of warm water, along with a chicken salad.

In the end, she decided against the procedure. She was already conflicted knowing that she’d be ending a life before it even started. The fact that there were two meant she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

Hence, before the doctor could insert the surgical tools inside her, the woman hopped off the table and bolted out the door.

“My silly babies, out of all the couples in this world, why did you choose us as your parents?”

“Here’s to your new lives then, a life without fatherly love.”

Renee decided to give birth to the twins in secret. She wasn’t afraid of the pain, she was merely feeling sad for her children.

With water in place of alcohol, she downed the entire shot as a toast to her children.

Just then, a group of men appeared out of nowhere, dashing toward Renee with malicious intent.

“Mr. Gold, look! She’s that b*tch who nearly killed Brad yesterday!”

Renee calmly swiped a look at the group. She recognized the man speaking to be one of the underlings she encountered last night.

It was obvious that they were here for revenge.

“Her?” Otto Gold questioned.

The well-built man was an infamous gangster who ran the area. He never expected that the person who sent his right-hand man into the ICU would be a weak little woman.

“Yeah, I did that.” Renee put down her glass and glared at the men surrounding her. “You’re blocking my view. Keep standing there and I’ll make sure you’ll suffer a worse fate than that pervert!”

“Hoho, you talk big, little lady!” Otto scowled as he grabbed Renee by the collar. “Let me show you the rules around these parts then!”

“Oh? Really now?” Renee raised an eyebrow, thanking the gods for being so generous as to hand her a punching bag after a long, stressful day.

Cracking her knuckles loudly, the woman was ready to rumble.

Suddenly, all she heard were Otto’s screams, as he was sent flying back. A tall figure stood before her, as if he were a large wall, shielding her from danger.

“Which one of you tried attacking her? Come forth, or else.” Stefan spoke, his voice cold as ice
