# Chapter 569: The Heart That Refuses to Lie
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 569 of "The Untouchable Ex Wife" — a chapter where words say one thing, but actions scream another. Buckle up, because we're about to witness a man who claims to feel nothing, yet moves mountains the moment he hears her name.

The hospital room was quiet, the air thick with antiseptic and unspoken tension. Owen, the sharp-eyed doctor, had just thrown a verbal grenade into Stefan's carefully constructed fortress of denial.
"Which woman are you referring to?" Stefan's voice was cold as winter ice, but the flicker in his eyes betrayed the storm brewing beneath.
Owen's smirk widened. He was clearly enjoying this. "Of course I'm talking about Renee. You bowed down and hired me to treat her brother. I could see your passion for her, and I even felt that you guys looked more like a couple!"
The accusation hung in the air, daring Stefan to deny it. And for a moment — just a moment — the walls around Stefan's heart seemed to crack. "We were once a couple," he admitted, and there was something almost vulnerable in the way he said it. But then, like armor slamming back into place, he added coldly, "But that was in the past, and we were together unhappily. It was because of her that I lost my memories and was nearly killed."
Those words left his lips with force, but they rang hollow. Owen caught the dissonance immediately. Ever the observer of human nature, he tilted his head with a knowing gleam. "Really? So, you had a love-hate relationship with her. How interesting! Renee is much more interesting than your fiancee."
Then the doctor decided to twist the knife. His eyes glimmered as he dropped his bombshell: "But do you know that she's injured?"
The shift in Stefan was instantaneous. His composed mask shattered into fragments of panic. The veins in his neck tightened. His body tensed with barely restrained agitation. "She's injured? When did this happen?"
Just moments ago, he had spoken of Renee as if she were nothing but a dark ghost from an unhappy past. But now, his voice broke with urgency. The contradiction was undeniable — and if Owen had been watching the live broadcast of the kindergarten competition where Renee had fallen off a high platform, he knew that Stefan Hunt, the supposedly heartless businessman, cared far more than he was willing to admit.
"Just now... She joined a competition organized by some kindergarten and fell off a high platform," Owen explained. "It's pretty serious."
Owen watched Stefan's reaction with rapt fascination, like a scientist observing a chemical reaction. Then came his next teasing remark, dripping with playful suggestion: "She's a mother with two kids, but you're interested in her. You both must have a very interesting story... Maybe you're the father of her kids."
Nonsense!" Stefan scoffed, but there was something desperate in his arrogant rebuff. "I'm not so vulgar as to have kids with a frivolous woman like her."
The words came out sharp, almost defensive — as if he were trying to convince himself more than anyone else.
Owen's lips curled upward into that infuriating, knowing smile once again. "Didn't you lose your memory? How would you know? Did you ask your family about it?"
The question was surgical, precise. It cut right through Stefan's bluster.
"No, I didn't," Stefan argued stubbornly, though his words had lost their iron edge. "My family would have brought the kids home if they were related to me, instead of not mentioning them at all."
"Maybe they have their reasons," Owen shrugged, trailing off with deliberate ambiguity before continuing, "Anyway, there's no point in guessing. I'll give you a full check-up when you're recovered from surgery, and see if I can help treat your brain. If it goes smoothly, everything will come to light."
Stefan nodded reluctantly because that was indeed the only possible solution — for now.
But his mind was already elsewhere.
The moment Owen shut the door behind him, Stefan sprang into action. With his jaw clenched and his movements sharp, he pulled the IV needle out of his arm. The thin pain was nothing compared to the gnawing anxiety in his chest. He changed into clean clothes and slipped out of the hospital like a phantom.
Downstairs, Elijah was waiting in the car as ordered. The moment he saw Stefan's pale, bloodless face, worry creased his brow. "Sir, isn't it bad for you to leave the hospital now?"
Stefan's response was pure ice. "We're leaving. Hurry up and start the car."
Elijah swallowed his protests and turned the ignition. After a brief, hesitant pause, he gripped the steering wheel and asked cautiously, "But... where are we going? The company?"
Stefan's eyes narrowed menacingly. From the tension in his shoulders, Elijah could almost feel the murderous urge radiating off his boss. If looks could kill, poor Elijah would have been a corpse on the spot.
"Didn't I tell you I'm going to see Renee?" Stefan snapped, his voice containing a ferocity that left no room for further questions.
And just like that, the ruthless CEO with amnesia, the man who claimed Renee was nothing to him, the man who insisted his past with her was pure misery — that same man was now risking his life, ignoring his doctor's orders, and rushing to the side of the woman he swore he didn't care about.
The heart, it seems, remembers what the mind has forgotten.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Oh, this chapter was absolutely delicious in its emotional contradictions! Stefan keeps saying Renee means nothing to him, but the moment Owen mentions her injury, that man practically tore his IV out and sprinted to her side. What a beautiful, frustrating, adorably stubborn fool he is! It's so painfully obvious that his feelings for her run deeper than any amnesia can erase. His denial is almost comical at this point. Did he really expect us to believe he's indifferent when his face went pale and his heart went into overdrive at the mere mention of her name?
The clever banter between Owen and Stefan added a perfect layer of intrigue, especially with Owen's insinuation that Stefan might be the father of Renee's twins. That wild speculation sent chills down my spine — could it be true? And is Owen merely teasing, or does he know more than he's letting on? The plot thickens beautifully, and I'm completely hooked!
I'm giving this chapter **⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars**. Every moment of this scene crackled with tension and unspoken emotion.
## Next Chapter Prediction
I predict that when Stefan reaches Renee, he'll find her injured and vulnerable — and his carefully constructed wall of apathy will come tumbling down completely. Whether he likes it or not, his protective instincts will kick in, and we may witness a tender confrontation that stirs dormant memories. Renee, on the other hand, will be stunned to see him again, especially in such a fragile state. Will Stefan finally begin to question what really happened between them? Will Owen's words about him being the children's father haunt his sleepless night? Something big is brewing, and I can't wait for the next chapter!
