Chapter 1273

Author: Mizuki Sei
"You're overthinking. We were never that close, and so many things have happened between us that things can't go back to the way they were," Renee said softly as she gazed into the distance. In the past, she might have had feelings for him, but after all these events, they had started to fade.

The only thing she wanted now was for her family to be safe and healthy—that was all that mattered.

After a while, they heard footsteps, and saw Robert walking towards them dressed in casual clothes and carrying a surgery kit.

"Doctor Cromwell, aren't you going to treat my brother today? Why do you…"

Renee looked at Robert's attire in confusion. He didn't look like someone who was about to perform surgery.

"Miss Everheart, Mr. Baldwin… I'm so sorry, I can't treat him. The dean has arranged for someone else to take over, so you both can talk to the new attending doctor… I have something to do at home, so I'll leave now."

"What?" Renee's eyes grew wide in shock. "Didn't you do a good job with

    "Mr. Wilfred, what happened? Why did you remove Doctor Cromwell from the medical team? He's my brother's attending doctor and he saved his life! He should be in charge of the case," Renee exclaimed in outrage.If Quinton wasn't hospitalized there, she would have lost it completely."Umm… We don't want to delay Mr. Everheart's treatment, so we're going to get a better doctor to take over his case. We're trying to help him wake up as soon as possible." Ezra Wilfred didn't dare to speak frankly since they had yet to succeed, and he couldn't reveal that it had been Stefan's order. "Doctor Cromwell is very good, and he's someone we trust too. I don't think there's anyone else more suitable than him. Can you put him back in charge?" Renee was firm. She had always suspected that Quinton's accident was the result of someone's scheme, and she trusted Haze's doctor since he had saved Quinton's life."Miss Everheart, please believe me when I say that there's always someone better out there.

    "Umm..." Ezra averted his gaze nervously. 'Damn it! Stefan ordered me not to expose it before it was done. How could I have made such a silly mistake?' "No, I'm... talking about the hospital. We have targets to hit. This hospital has a record of ninety-nine percent recovery, so we can't fail this for the sake of the hospital's reputation," Ezra lied quickly.Convinced, Renee left it. Her main priority was to ask for Owen's help to save Quinton. "Ezra, do you know where Doctor Wagner is? I'll go ask him personally if you guys can't persuade him." Renee was used to doing things herself and didn't want to owe others, so she preferred if she could go talk to Owen herself."I learned from Doctor Wagner's friend that he often goes fishing at sea. In fact, he should be out now. If it goes well and he's in a good mood, we might be able to persuade him. If not, it might be difficult," Ezra said honestly. Owen wasn't attached to a hospital, so whether he took on a job or not depended solel

    Renee wanted to meet Owen as soon as possible, so she didn't mind taking a few risks. After all, Quinton's condition could worsen the longer they delayed treatment."Only one?" The man was filled with disdain as he said coldly, "You have to pay extra for the captain.""No, I can navigate it myself," Renee said casually."You're going to navigate it? You're just a woman!" The man scoffed in disbelief."Yes, and I have the license for it. In fact, I'm probably better at it than your men.""Fine then. This is the first time I've met a woman like you, lady. You're something special." The man shook his head in wonder and gave Renee a small old dinghy. When she turned it on, smoke billowed out of it.Well… she had asked for the cheapest boat. Renee started coughing because of the smoke, but she could not complain because she was running out of time. It was fine as long as it could sail.Vroom! She set off in the direction the man told her. The boat soared on the large waves, making

    "Of course, you'll find him familiar! Go online and search for Master Hunt, the head of the Hunt family, the top family of The Great Eight of Beach City. See what the president of Hunt Group looks like!""Oh gosh... are you telling me that the man sitting beside Dr. Wagner is the famous Mr. Stefan Hunt?" The woman covered her mouth and widened her eyes in disbelief. "I didn't think I'd ever be able to get this close to him! Wasn't he famous for being hard to deal with? He never got close to women, right? Why is he such a playboy now? Wasn't he the one who invited us to go out to sea with them?""Don't bother trying to understand how rich people think. Maybe he's interested in women now!""So, does that mean we have a chance with him?""I guess so, but all they're interested in right now is the fish. They don't care about us at all. It's hard to figure out what they're thinking...""Whatever! They're fishing, but we can still seduce them." After they made up their minds, the biki

    "Heh! Sure." Renee grinned but was cursing Stefan inwardly. 'Damn you, Stefan Hunt! Here you are having the time of your life, and you even brought Dr. Wagner along! I don't know how many women have been here, and what kind of things went on. If I had a choice, I'd never want to get on it!'The women on the yacht targeted Renee the moment she went onboard."Hey, this young lady has such a unique fashion sense. She doesn't show her figure at all! Is she shy or just plain ugly?""Yeah, we're here to make Mr. Hunt and Dr. Wagner happy. You bought this tiny boat here to pursue them, but you're pretending to be all noble and superior. How pretentious!""Mr. Hunt, she's sticking out like a sore thumb. Can you chase her away?"However, before Stefan could speak, Renee snapped back, "I'm ugly? Well, at least I'm not made of plastic! If you want to make Dr. Wagner happy, you should do a talk show instead! Also, don't you think you're being hypocritical? The only pretentious people here are

    Owen glanced at Stefan, then nodded. "Fine, you have my word. You were willing to fish with me, so if I don't help, it would be rather ungrateful of me... So, where's the patient now? I'll go and treat him."Stefan told him which hospital it was, as well as Quinton's name. "Alright. Let's go back now, I think we can make it," Owen glanced at his watch and said lightly."Are... Are you guys going back to save my brother?" Renee listened to their conversation in disbelief. Stefan had done so much to get Owen here, but he actually had the same goal as Renee—asking Owen to cure Quinton. But... why?She had just argued with Stefan, and he and Quinton were enemies. Why would Stefan fish with a doctor just to ask him to save his enemy? Renee knew that Stefan was a petty man who fussed over everything and would take revenge on anyone who offended him... When did he turn into a kind person?"You're overthinking." Stefan put both hands in his pockets and scoffed arrogantly, "I didn't do

    The surgery would take a long time, but Renee did not dare to leave. She waited outside the whole time. When everything was going smoothly, Stefan turned to leave."Wait," Renee whispered suddenly as she stared at his back.Stefan stopped and said arrogantly, "What now?"After a while of nibbling her lip, Renee finally gathered her courage and said, "Thank you." She took a deep breath and continued, "My family was once on friendly terms with yours, but unfortunately, we're enemies now. I hope that our families as well as the Baldwins can put their prejudices aside and be at peace after Quinton is cured. I believe that's what our ancestors would want too."Stefan stared at Renee, disappointment blooming on his face as he sneered. "So, your only expectation of me is peace between our families?" "What else would it be?" Renee swallowed in panic, not knowing how to face Stefan. Too many things had happened between them that she couldn't ignore, and she couldn't get close to him aga

    In the plastic surgery hospital."Where's everyone? Come out now!" A clear and overbearing voice rang out through the entire hospital.Leia clenched her fists tightly and walked towards the plastic surgery room where Quinton was previously. She said firmly, "I won't leave if you guys don't come out and explain what happened to me. I'll make such a scene that you won't be able to run a business here anymore!"After she bade Renee goodbye the other day, she investigated and interviewed a lot of people. She found that there were many doubts surrounding Quinton's case. It seemed more likely that foul play was involved, and it wasn't because of Quinton's health or a careless mistake. She felt that she needed to be held responsible for the incident since it was her suggestion and she had asked Xavier for the doctor's contact.Hence, she had rushed to the hospital to demand an explanation.The assistant of the doctor who performed the plastic surgery for Quinton cautiously walked over an

    Elijah sounded urgent and serious. "Mr. Hunt, something's wrong!"Meanwhile, Renee exited the hospital. There was a luxurious convertible at the entrance which attracted a lot of people's attention. Jovan, who kept a high profile, was sitting in the sports car.He was wearing an ostentatious black floral shirt. However, his ostentatious appearance coupled with his casual aura made him look more charming like a model from an advertisement. Renee covered her face and stealthily got into the car. "Can you stop keeping a high profile? You're very eye-catching. It's dangerous!"Jovan kept waving, shouting, and whistling at her just now. It filled her with deep embarrassment. "Well, we're all experiencing the world. If I don't keep a high profile, people won't remember me. I don't care what they think about me as long as I have a great time!"After Jovan confirmed that Renee had sat properly, he pressed hard on the gas pedal and started driving. Although Renee found that unaccept

    "Are you trying to sound me out?" Renee smirked, squinting her eyes at Stefan. Although he claimed that he wanted to end things with her and kept some distance from her, his actions betrayed him. These days, he kept staying close to her. Besides, he kept acting when it was time for her to leave the hospital. He purposely dawdled while helping her pack her things. Besides, he even asked about her relationship with Justin. It showed that he was reluctant to part with her. She was baffled. She wondered why he was that aloof if he could not part with her."No, I'm not." Stefan smiled and did not hide anything. He openly admitted, "I care about you.""You finally…" Renee's eyes brightened as she looked at him eagerly. She wondered if he had come to his senses and wanted to tell her the truth. He was willing to face the difficulty with her.However, he sounded even calmer. "After all, you're Adie and Abby's mother. Grandpa is always concerned about you. I want you to be happy and sa

    The Lotso bear was a villain in the movie, but it was a pitiful villain because it was abandoned by its owner. It used various means and encountered a lot of hardships to return to Daisy, its owner. In the end, it found that its owner had long gained new toys.After getting hurt, it no longer wanted to be kind. It was used to act cunningly as a form of disguise. But honestly, it was a dear baby who needed love. Of course, it was not a villain at all. Renee liked it because she saw herself as well as others in it. Everyone was gloomy in some way. People got hurt and slowly became gloomy. Instead of criticizing such a thing, Renee felt more compassion and sorry for such a situation. "But you still don't want it and want to throw it away." Stefan was gripped with complicated feelings after listening to Renee's explanation. He sounded sad."Yes, I like it. But I still want to throw it away. It's better to stop in time." Renee laughed and stopped shaking her legs. She was her usual

    A week later, Renee recovered because she listened to the doctor and underwent treatment. She could be discharged from the hospital.In the meantime, Stefan stayed outside the ward and did not enter the ward.On the contrary, Jovan kept entering the ward from time to time. Renee would either scold or drive him away. Stefan entered the ward on the day Renee was leaving the hospital. He quietly helped Renee pack up her things. Generally, a caretaker could do that. However, Stefan acted like he wanted to repent and felt better when he took it upon himself. "Do you still need this?" Stefan pointed at a Lotso bear toy at the head of the bed and asked Renee calmly.During the one-week hospitalization, Renee got bored. Stefan would give her some blind boxes as entertainment. Renee found Rubik's cubes, stickers, and keychains when she opened the boxes. She would always throw them away because she was not interested in them. When she unpacked a rather large Lotso bear toy, she became

    Jovan had kidnapped Renee, but he risked his life for her though he appeared like a cunning and selfish man. Renee felt that she did not deserve his love. She had wronged both Jovan and Justin, but she could not love them back. On the other hand, the one she wanted to love kept pushing her away cruelly…She slapped herself fiercely. Her action frightened the nurse. "Ms. Everheart, we can talk things out! Why did you hurt yourself? You can't…" "Don't worry. I'll get better and won't harm myself again." Renee was teary and laughed at herself. "I slapped myself because I recalled the things I'd done. I was very stupid, and I wanted to knock some sense into myself." "Okay, I'm glad to hear that." The nurse heaved a sigh of relief, but she was afraid to see Renee keep acting crazily. After she was done bandaging Renee's wound, she left hurriedly.When Stefan saw the nurse exit the ward, he walked in nervously and inquired about Renee. "How she's doing?" "She's already feeling be

    Having said that, Justin turned to leave. He knew that if he stayed, he would only look more of a fool. "Tsk! What a pity!" Jovan watched him leave, shrugging and sighing. "He's sincere and loyal. Too bad he pales in comparison to the scumbag!""Get out!" Renee was overcome with sadness and pushed Jovan away fiercely. "Get out! I don't want to see anyone!" Knowing that she had harmed Justin again, she was filled with guilt. She just wanted to be left alone."Rest well. I'll be with you until you're recovered and discharged from the hospital," Stefan said calmly before exiting the ward.In a while, a nurse came to tend to the bandages that Renee had removed. She advised Renee, "Ms. Everheart, you have to be careful. You're weak now. You can't get angry, or it might be life-threatening.""I don't care. My life is so messy, I'd rather die."Thinking of the recent events and the men around her, a severe headache hit her. She wanted to keep being unconscious."Please don't say tha

    "Do you still want to marry me?" Justin asked Renee."I…" Renee could talk nonsense with Jovan, but she couldn't joke with Justin. She had harmed him many times and couldn't keep hurting him. Honestly, she didn't want to marry him or anyone else. She did not want to rely on anyone. She knew she could rely on a man and lead a steady life if there was love. But without love, it would be very hard to rely on a man.However, she knew that Justin liked her and wanted to marry her. If she promised to marry him, the impulsive Jovan would get the staff of the City Hall here. If she turned Justin down at that time, she would harm him again."Fine. You don't have to feel stressed. I know the answer." Justin was no fool. Renee's hesitation told him what she wanted. "When I begged you to marry me, you forced yourself to say yes. You just wanted to repay me for saving your life.""No, you're wrong!" Seeing Justin hurt pained her more than when she was hurt. She hurriedly explained, "I reall

    "What is it?" Renee looked at Justin curiously.Renee, Stefan, and Jovan were curious about what was on Justin's mind."If my family starts fighting the Hunt family, which side will you take?" Justin went straight to the point. He had been curious about that as he made wild guesses about Renee's mind. Since Renee was right before him, he wanted to get the answer from her before he could give up."Hmph! I thought it was something serious. Why did you make it sound that serious…" Jovan burst into laughter, finding Justin a loyal man. "Isn't that obvious? If she wants to take your side, you guys would be married by now. There wouldn't be so many shitty things either!""Shut up, Jovan!" Renee glared at Jovan. If she was stronger, she would beat him up. She said coldly, "Did you forget how you took me away?""Yes, I used some cunning means to take you away, but let's be frank. If I didn't come that day, would you marry him?"Jovan had long gotten used to Renee's fierceness. On the c

    Similarly, Renee used an iron wire to cut her wrist just to meet Stefan."Am I right? You did so many things just to see him. Now you finally met him. Are you happy and satisfied now? But you look worse than before." Jovan teased Renee. He found her pitiful, but at the same time, he felt that it served her right. It seemed everybody was a joke in their romance with others. Only those who never loved could be at the top of the food chain. They would laugh at those who gave up their hearts to others and could not understand those people's bizarre actions."Stop gloating. It's none of your business! Let go of me, or I'll make you feel sorry for yourself."Renee had just escaped death and was weak. Had it not been for that, Jovan wouldn't be able to stop her or watch her make a fool of herself. Still, she would be fine with losing blood again just to torment him if he kept on talking nonsense. Then, he would watch his tongue."Tell me, Phoenix. Is he telling the truth?" Justin
