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
Based on his understanding of her, she would never leave if it was not an extremely urgent affair. She upheld a carefree and laid-back lifestyle. It might be a very dangerous affair if she were to become so restless with anxiety out of the blue."It's because… If we don't go home now, my sunflowers will wither. Can't you see why I'm in such a hurry?""Hmph! What a good reason! Do you think I believe that?"Jovan did not even bother to complain about that. He stated solemnly, "You even promised me just now that you'll tell me right away if anything happens to you. You won't lie to me. Are you trying to break your promise now?" "Ah. Life is already hard enough. Please don't expose my lie. It's hard to talk about this now. I'll explain to you in detail when we're home."While comforting Jovan, Renee waited for the elevator.Ding! The door of the elevator opened. Coincidentally, the person she was trying to avoid stood right in the middle of the elevator. It was Stefan.They lo
"It's late now. I want to rest. If you want to know, come to me early tomorrow morning. I'll tell you everything."I'm sleepy. Push me back," Jovan asked Renee."Okay." Renee nodded very obediently. Watching their backs disappear from his sight; displeasure crept up Stefan's heart.They were so harmonious and warm together, as an old married couple would. In comparison, he looked like an unreasonable maniac. 'What happened? Who can tell me? What the hell happened?'I think I'm going mad!' Without turning around, Renee pushed Jovan back to his original ward. She tucked him in after quietly making the bed and helping him back on it. She was quiet the entire time, with her chest stuffed with complicated feelings.Finally, she still failed to avoid him. It might be their fates. It was destined that the simple incident would become complicated. The calm surface of the lake would be attacked by billowing waves. Jovan leaned against the head of the bed. His handsome face was
