# Chapter 634: The Wound That Should Never Heal
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today, I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 634 of *The Untouchable Ex Wife*. This is a chapter that burns with quiet tension, where a superficial kindness masks a terrifying secret, and where loyalty and suspicion dance dangerously close to the truth. So let's step into the room where a spilled bowl of soup is about to spill so much more.
Stefan handed his documents without a second thought the moment he saw Seraphina flinch. The crash of ceramic against the plush carpet echoed, splatters of hot broth staining the ivory fibers. His face was a mask of immediate concern as he rose from behind his desk and crossed to her in seconds. "Are you okay?" he asked, urgency lining his voice.
Seraphina looked down at her trembling hand and tried to smile, though the pain in her eyes betrayed her. "It's okay, it's just a slight burn." She tried to brush it off with a flick of her fingers, but her knuckles were already turning an angry shade of red, delicate skin swelling with raw heat.
Stefan gently grasped her hand, leaning down to study the injury with unnerving focus. The moment he saw the burn, a deep frown carved lines into his handsome face. He looked at her with something painfully close to affection, then turned to his aide. "Take her to the medical room and tend to this, Elijah."
"No, it's fine. I'm really okay..." Seraphina's protest died in her throat as she lowered her gaze to the ruined soup pooling on the floor. Her shoulders slumped, and a glossy sheen of sorrow gathered in her eyes. "But it's a pity... I spent the whole afternoon making this soup for you, and now the carpet's dirty too."
Stefan’s expression softened. He placed a warm, reassuring pat on her shoulder and spoke in that low, gentle tone that made her heart ache and flutter all at once. "The soup can be made again and the carpet can be cleaned, but I'd feel guilty if you got hurt. Be good—go get your wound checked."
"OH... okay." Seraphina's voice was as light as a feather, overwhelmed by the tenderness he was showing her. In that moment, pure joy flooded through her chest, but it was closely followed by a cold, suffocating terror. Because she knew—oh, she knew too well—that Stefan would not be so gentle if he ever discovered her secret. She had bribed his previous doctor. That person had been instructed to do something to Stefan’s brain. If the surgery went smoothly, she would lose this warmth forever.
Stefan would be furious. He would hate her. He would cast her aside like a broken cup.
And yet, the plan had to continue.
Elijah escorted Seraphina to the exclusive medical room of Hunt Enterprise. The staff worked efficiently over the wound while Elijah watched from the side in silent speculation, arms crossed. He leaned his head slightly, observing her with the thoughtful scrutiny of a man who had seen too many complications. "Don't you think it's hard to win Mr. Hunt over?" he finally asked, breaking the sterile silence.
Seraphina turned sharply to him, narrowing her eyes. "Do you find me relentless and annoying too, Mr. Young?"
"Not if you sincerely like Mr. Hunt," Elijah replied, but the weight in his voice spoke of more than harmless curiosity. He couldn't help but recall a face from the past—a woman always covered in bandages, stubbornly pushing food and care toward a man who kept pushing her away. "Ms. Everheart was the same as you—she took great care of Mr. Hunt, but he only rolled his eyes at her and ignored her. In comparison, you have it better since you're close to him and have been with him for half a year. He relies on you."
A heavy sigh escaped Seraphina's lips. She looked at her bandaged hand and spoke with a melancholy dripping through every word. "But I feel like he's growing more distant, and his feelings for me seem to have lessened too. Even you can see that he doesn't want to be with me... Plus, it looks like he's going to get back together with Renee. If he does... what happens to me?"
Elijah's lips curled into a playful, challenging smirk. "Do you believe you're that replaceable, Ms. Murphy? Do you think you're just something Mr. Hunt is passing the time with? An accident, or perhaps an interlude?"
"Mr. Young!" The name was a sharp snap, and Seraphina glared at him furiously, her anger flaring like a struck match.
Elijah raised both hands in a quick, mock surrender, a sheepish grin on his face. "I was just kidding, Ms. Murphy—don't take it to heart. I just wanted to tell you that the way to win his heart is by being sincere, just like what Ms. Everheart did. Her true love moved Mr. Hunt, which was why they were so madly in love with each other in the end. But I have to say... I'm curious about how sincere you really are, Ms. Murphy."
The temperature in the room seemed to drop.
Seraphina's delicate features twisted into a hideous snarl, her earlier pitiable demeanor evaporating in an instant. "What exactly are you trying to say, Mr. Young? Do you doubt my feelings for Stefan?" Her voice dripped with ice and indignation.
"I'm not doubting your sincerity towards him, but I just want to know how deep it runs... How much would you be willing to sacrifice for Mr. Hunt?" Elijah asked bluntly. He was not a cruel man, but he was a cautious one. He did not care if Seraphina thought him selfish or overbearing. He simply needed to verify her authenticity before he extended a helping hand to bring her even closer to Stefan. After all, Renee had almost killed Stefan once. That memory still haunted him. He could not afford to let another woman with hidden motives slip in through the cracks.
Seraphina’s eyes widened, and then softened with raw, unguarded emotion. She bit her lip, a single tear trembling before spilling over her cheek. "I'm willing to do anything for Stefan, including giving up my life..." She paused, gathering herself as painful memories clawed at her chest. Her voice turned brittle and vulnerable. "I'm sure you don't know this, but... When that woman's brother went mad and kidnapped Stefan, I suffered a lot so Stefan could come back safely."
The words hung in the air like smoke, refusing to dissipate. Elijah merely tilted his head, silence his only response ... but his gaze was sharp, calculating, and deeply unconvinced.
Because deep down, in the quiet, unspoken truth of every soul in the room, they all knew: no amount of sweet words could wash away the stain of a bribe meant to tamper with a man's brain.
And Seraphina, for all her tears and charming pleas, was losing track of her own lies.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
Ah, this chapter is a beautiful, tense, and heartbreaking exploration of fear and deception. Watching Seraphina bask in Stefan's fleeting tenderness while trembling at the thought of her own secret being exposed is a masterpiece of dramatic irony. Elijah's guarded probing adds a layer of sophisticated tension—he is the quiet watchdog of the story, sniffing out false pretenses. Yet what strikes me most is how fragile Seraphina truly is. For one brief moment, when she says she's willing to give up her life for Stefan, there is a glimmer of real humanity in her—but we know too well that it's tainted by past manipulation. It's both sad and infuriating. A wonderfully paced chapter that leaves you brooding and desperate for the next piece of the puzzle. I rate this chapter: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars.
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
This tension cannot stay buried for long. Hints of the bribed doctor and Stefan’s growing distance raise serious red flags. Most likely, in the next chapter, someone will stumble upon the truth—perhaps Renee's next move will expose Seraphina’s dark scheme, or Elijah will dig deeper and find the trace of bribery linked to Seraphina. The moment Stefan feels even the smallest crack of suspicion, his gentleness could turn into ruthless ice, and Seraphina may find her carefully woven trap snapping shut around her own heart.
