Still doubtful, Stefan intentionally headed to the hospital food court during dinner."I'd like some seafood dumplings," he said to the staff through the window.The staff was immediately confused upon hearing his order."Do you guys not have seafood dumplings?" Stefan asked again, emphasizing his words this time."No." The staff glared at him as if he were a fool, pointing to the menu. "Everything's on the menu. Order anything you want."Scanning through the piece of laminated paper, Stefan realized that it was, in fact, filled with foreign cuisine. There wasn't a single dish originating from Aeos, let alone seafood dumplings. 'So that nurse was lying?'Stefan returned to the main hospital building and found the nurse who delivered those dumplings to him every day."I think we need to talk."The nurse's expression stiffened anxiously. "Mr. Hunt, what… what would you like to talk about?""You know why I'm here.""I don't know. I don't know anything at all." The nurse shook
Renee then stood up and stubbed out her cigarette, her slender figure disappearing into the dark…Stefan, on the other hand, waited for an entire day but never received the bowl of dumplings he longed for.He was still able to endure the wait when he realized that the dumplings hadn't arrived in the afternoon. However, as supper time arrived, he just couldn't believe that none had been delivered to him.The man was losing patience."What happened? Why are there no dumplings today?" Stefan stopped and questioned the patrolling nurse while Seraphina was resting."W… Well…" The nurse rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly. "They stopped serving it. Why don't you check out our other offerings, Mr. Hunt? We have steak, hamburgers, spaghetti…""I don't want any of that. I just want dumplings, seafood dumplings." Stefan completely shed his image as a CEO and started demanding for his food like a child. The nurse was speechless. "Please don't tell me you haven't eaten for the whole day.
"You can still make one more, right? Please, Miss, just this once!" Renee begged with sincerity."You can come back tomorrow. It's just some dumplings. People won't die just from not having one, right?""No, no, someone might really die without those dumplings… Basically, it's super important, so please make one more! I'm a regular, aren't I? You wouldn't let me go back empty-handed, would you?""Oh, you, alright, alright! Come on!" The storekeeper shook her head helplessly and opened up her kitchen again just to fulfill Renee's request.In actuality, the storekeeper wasn't the only one who cared for Renee. The entire town loved her and would do anything to help her out.Naturally, they sympathized with her because she had to take care of a disabled man, despite her fragile figure. However, she managed to win them over with her sincere and adorable nature, along with her diligence. She had always helped many elderly who lived alone with technology, so everyone thought of her as
Renee walked out of the restaurant with the dumplings. On the way back to the hospital, she took a small whiff, which brought a faint smile to her face.Just as she lifted her gaze, she noticed the man before her, who seemed to have been waiting for quite some time."You…" The woman felt as if she was completely stunned, freezing on the spot."So you've been the one sending those dumplings all along?" Stefan stood a few feet away, staring at her with surprise and confusion."I… I have no idea what you're talking about," Renee stuttered, trying her best to deny everything."Stop denying. The nurse told me everything…" Stefan walked towards the woman, looming over her as he questioned. "So, what's your purpose for doing all this?"Seeing how she couldn't talk out of this, Renee spoke truthfully. "What else could it be? I was just worried that you'd starve!"Why would that matter to you? Do we know each other?" Huffing coldly, Stefan seemed alerted. "Or is it because you know I hav
Since that day, Renee and Stefan never bumped into each other again.It was as if they were two parallel lines that headed in the wrong direction, yet realigned back to their own tracks after briefly intersecting.Stefan stayed by Seraphina's side, all while dealing with the group's affairs at the same time.Under Stefan's efforts, Hunt Enterprise finally survived its crisis over the past six months. They found a new chip partner, with the sales of listed electronic products increasing as well. The company's achievements were unbelievably astounding, to say the least.At the same time, the strongest rival of Hunt Enterprise, Azure Group, which was founded by Renee, had also expanded greatly with the help of KCL Holdings. Its efficiency was soon ranked among the top three in the industry, nearly surpassing that of Hunt Enterprise.Although the two families were rivals, the two companies remained out of each other's hair, directly avoiding any conflict with each other, as if they ha
Elijah clenched his fist in anger. "What kind of person would do such a horrible thing?" Stefan asked."From the multiple pieces of evidence, such despicable means could only come from our old enemy, Carmine Pawnshop. Boss, you must not let them get away this time!""Damn it! It's them again!" Stefan slammed his hand on the table heavily, clearly pissed. "If they like tethering on death's door so much, then don't blame us for not showing mercy!"Stefan was so mad that he nearly exploded, but Renee was feeling the complete opposite.The woman was sitting by the hospital's artificial lake at the time, holding her phone and video calling with her brother, Quinton, along with her two children. "Brother, be honest with me. You may be managing a pawn business, but do you raise pigs as a side job? Why do I feel that Abby and Adie have gained weight?" Renee was not exaggerating at all. Many videos of the kids showed that they had indeed grown fat. The siblings were once a dashing pri
After Stefan ended his conversation with Elijah, he was in a very irritable mood. He switched his laptop off and prepared to go for a walk nearby to relax.For the past few days, he had been getting increasingly frustrated with company matters. It was to the point he even thought of stepping down. However, it was impossible to abdicate the position at this very moment.At present, looking at the entire Hunt family, the only people who were capable of taking up the responsibility of managing the entire company were he and Jovan.Jovan was now traveling around the world, enjoying life with that 'liar.' Hence, if Stefan were to give up as well, both the company and the family would be ruined.Reality was indeed rather cruel, as this was a dog-eat-dog world.As the head of the eight families in Beach City, the Hunt family was able to enjoy power and glory, with just as much risk and responsibility to bear. Thus, he wouldn't dare to stop for a single moment, no matter how tired he felt
The beautiful figure didn't even raise her head. She skillfully undid the baby's clothes and pumped his chest, then went to mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration in one swift motion.After several cycles of compression and respiration, the child finally coughed out some water and slowly regained consciousness."He should be fine now, but it's better if you take him to a doctor for a checkup." The figure finally sighed in relief and said to the young mother."Thank you, thank you, you saved me and my baby's life!" The young mother hugged her baby and thanked them, then rushed off to the hospital.Stefan was simply drenched, and his hair was still dripping wet as the water trickled down his perfectly defined features. His long fingers brushed through his thick hair. Despite the exhaustion, he was rather happy with doing a good deed. 'It's true that good deeds breed good feelings!'"Hey, wait a minute!" Seeing that the figure was about to leave, Stefan called out to the woman."
