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."
"Ahem!" Renee took a few steps backward, letting out a few dry coughs as well. "Sir, you don't have to be so awkward, you know? Did you get water in your brain when you dived into the lake?""Don't change the subject. Just say yes or no." The man spoke as if he were an experienced hunter, not giving her the slightest chance to back out, as if he were trying to peer through the depths of her heart."Yeah, yeah…" Renee took a deep breath and averted the man's deep gaze. She started spewing a bunch of nonsense instead. "Oh, Sir, my admiration for you is like a tsunami, whose waves fill my heart with love as they crash on the shore! I simply cannot wait to appear before you with a bouquet of flowers, where I can finally worship you for the beauty that you are! You have truly seduced me, oh my Prince Charming!"Stefan was silent.Renee continued. "Are you happy now? You don't have to act out the dominant CEO trope anymore. It's just so awkward!"The man was even more confused now.R
Since Jovan couldn't see, she behaved more comfortable around him."Then why change clothes?" Jovan's expression seemed uneasy as he pursued the question. "Well… Because my clothes were dirty." Renee told a white lie, not revealing her encounter with Stefan. Otherwise, being the jealous prick he was, Jovan would certainly overthink. "You're lying." Jovan frowned, obviously aggravated. "You said that you would never lie to me, but now you're treating me like a fool!"Renee realized that the man must know something. After all, many people came and went from the hospital. Being an old acquaintance there, it was inevitable that someone would end up telling him some kind of information."You say I lied to you, then tell me, what did I lie to you about?" the woman asked carefully."Dr. David told me about the drowning incident around the lake. You jumped to save a life, so you're changing because your clothes are wet, not that they're dirty!" Jovan replied seriously.Renee felt reli
When Renee held the documents and went through the formalities to help Jovan transfer to another hospital, Jovan's attending doctor, David, was very surprised. "Joan, why do you suddenly want to transfer Van to another hospital? He's now in the critical period of his recovery, and he can't endure the stress of moving to another hospital." David was one of the doctors with the most medical experience in the surrounding cities. Besides, he was amiable, humble, and responsible. When they first arrived at that town, they came because of David's medical skills, not to mention he was also the one treating Jovan's illness. Hence, they established a very good friendship."There's a special condition, so we need to leave for a while for the time being. When the time is right, we'll come back again."Renee gave David a rough explanation because she could not go into the details. "If you want to transfer to another hospital, you'll have to change his attending doctor. You're aware that
