Chapter 1280

Author: Mizuki Sei
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

    "It's okay, this place is safe. Your colleagues and superiors aren't here," Leia said reassuringly.The young woman stared down into her cup of coffee for a long time. She looked conflicted as she said slowly, "To be honest, I found that surgery weird because Doctor Leslie Snyder is always very cautious. He would use the anesthesia with the lowest risk if he could, but… he behaved strangely that day. He insisted on using the forbidden anesthesia. Although that anesthesia is effective, its side effects are strong. One of the side effects is causing the patient to go into shock and enter a long coma. It's what we call brain death!""A forbidden anesthesia?" Leia was shocked when she heard that. Unexpectedly, their enemy had been that bold. Renee's instincts were right—it had been a deliberate attempt at murder."At first, I disagreed with it, but Doctor Snyder claimed that we were out of imported anesthesia and this surgery couldn't be delayed, so we had to take a risk. Although it wa

    Shirley was a new rising star. Although her commercial value was average, her fans and fame were excellent. Thus, her whereabouts were a secret, and it was hard for ordinary people to meet her. Even after asking around, Leia didn't gain any useful clues. Finally, she braced herself and went to Universal Entertainment. She'd decided to ask Xavier about Shirley. After all, Shirley was his first love, so he should know everything about Shirley.When the young receptionist saw Leia, she immediately got up and welcomed her enthusiastically. "Miss Osborne, you must be here to see Mr. Stuart. He's in his office now. You can go up without making an appointment.""Oh... Okay." Leia scratched her hair and looked at the eager receptionist doubtfully. She had dated Xavier secretly in the past, and not many people had known about it. She had to go through a very complicated procedure every time she went to Universal Entertainment to see him, and meeting him without an appointment was very diffi

    They reached the top floor, and the door of the elevator opened automatically. However, the employee did not step out of the elevator, and instead cheered Leia on. "You can do it. I won't go in with you, but you can call us if anything happens."When Leia stepped out of the elevator, the employee left quickly.Leia huffed in irritation. 'Why do I feel like I'm sacrificing myself?'When she reached the door of Xavier's office, she heard his angry roar from afar."Is your marketing department completely useless? How dare you sign on a novice with such poor skills? What makes them different from this trainee from Korshach? How competitive is this novice? I can easily find a better person. Get lost and reflect on your mistake!"After that, a middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses was driven out of the office with a stack of documents. The man pitifully squatted down on the floor to pick up the documents, looking unhappy."Let me help you." Leia squatted down and helped him pick up

    "I... I'm sorry." Xavier was stunned, and spoke like a child who had made a mistake. "My employees can handle being rebuked. They won't change if I don't scold them, so I have to do this""Is that really the reason? You're overly violent, so they don't dare to resist." Leia glared at him as she touched her swollen forehead, gritting her teeth in pain. "Did I wrong you? Why am I so unlucky whenever I meet you?""Come here, let me take a look." Xavier pulled her hand away. When he saw a slight scratch on her forehead, he felt very sorry for her. He blew at the wound gently and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead. "Wait. I have ointment and a plaster here. Let me tend to it." He then led her to the sofa and opened his drawer to get the small medical kit. He was attentive and considerate, being unusually gentle and kind. It was very different from his usual frivolity. "Stop it, I'm not that weak. It'll heal soon..." Leia tried her best to keep her distance because she didn't want to

    Cut the crap! Here, I'll fix it." Leia became flustered because of his words, so she grabbed his face with her hands. Recalling what she learned in her university elective lesson about putting back one's joints, she applied a bit of force, and they soon heard a crack. "Move it and see if it's cured," she clapped and said confidently.Xavier moved his chin, and to his surprise, it didn't hurt as badly. Nonetheless, he wanted to bluff Leia. "No, it still hurts. Hmm, my face is going to be ruined now. What do you think you should do to compensate me?" "It still hurts? That can't be." Leia frowned and took a step forward. She then grabbed his face again. "Should I do it again?""No, I'm fine now." Xavier immediately dodged. He might die instead of merely ruining his face if he went through that again. Leia realized he had tricked her, and became furious. "Can you be serious? Is it fun to fool me?" "Yes, it's fun!" Xavier smirked and got close to her. "I think it's fun when we bic

    "Calm down..." Xavier tried to console Leia. "I hear you, but I'm afraid this incident isn't as simple as you think. Shirley holds no grudges against Quinton, and they don't even talk, so there's no point in her risking her future to harm him...""Ugh, shut up!" When Leia heard his words, she was so angry that she wanted to leave, but she forced herself to stay since she had a favor to ask of him. So, she gritted her teeth and sneered, "I told you someone told me that she heard the plastic surgeon talking to Shirley on the phone before the surgery. He even asked her to rest assured since he would get the job done. Do you really think she's innocent? This woman isn't as simple as you think, but you always regard her as your untouchable first love. You just don't want to admit it.""You're wrong," Xavier said coldly, "I know better than you that there's more to her than meets the eye. If not, I wouldn't have fallen out with her... I just want you to properly analyze who the culprit is.

    He got a professional ATV and bought a lot of supplies to put in the trunk before leaving. They were all Leia's favorite fruits and snacks.Leia was slightly moved when she saw him do all this for her. She leaned against the car and handed him a tissue paper as she said teasingly, "We've broken up, so you don't have to be so considerate. If not, I'll think that you still can't forget about me."She regretted her comment immediately and added, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just joking. I'm not the kind of person who likes getting back together with exes.""Me neither." After he made that light comment, he placed the box of her favorite biscuits in the trunk.Leia scowled, hating the way he affected her.They set off in the car and soon came to the highway around the ocean.Leia called Renee. "Ren, are you okay? How is Quinton doing?""We got a more awesome expert, so there's a very high chance that he'll wake up." "Well, that's good." Leia felt relieved. "I may be away for a few da

    Renee said seriously, "I would like a plate of pasta with more vegetables and is not spicy. I'm afraid this is my last meal."Jovan was rendered speechless. Although Renee was being sarcastic, he still went to the kitchen to make her a delicious plate of pasta. He added some vegetables and a nice fried egg for a balanced diet. "It's done." Jovan had sent off all the servants of the mansion, leaving Renee with him. Hence, he was the one who cooked the pasta and served it to her. "Wow, you're fast." Renee wanted to get a chance to run away since she had sent him away to cook for her, but she couldn't come up with any trick.In the end, she got hungry when she saw the pasta. It was mouth-watering. She was starving!Jovan was good at cooking pasta, even though he didn't seem reliable. The pasta he made tasted like home-cooked food."Give it a try." Jovan didn't say much. He meticulously blew on the pasta and handed her a fork and spoon. Renee accepted it, eager to start eatin

    Jovan watched Renee fall into a deep thought. His gaze deepened, filled with renewed ferocity.Jovan turned his wrist and said slowly, "Okay, stop overthinking. I can tell you the truth if you want to know it." Renee abruptly looked up. Her eyes were teary as she begged him, "What's the truth?" "Listen to me and stay with me." Jovan frowned. After a short contemplation, he grinned and continued, "Stay with me for ten days or half a month. Then, I'll tell you.""That's not possible!"Renee immediately refused him, growing cold. "I have to leave right away. I can't watch the two families get into a fight."If she didn't return to North City immediately to explain things, the Baldwin and Hunt families would get into a big fight. Regardless of her circumstances, she didn't want them to fight. They were good people, and she refused to see them hurt. "Just let them fight. It's just a fight among bad people. Your family can grab this chance to get back to the top. Don't you want tha

    Jovan felt that he wasn't as passionate and loving as Stefan."Stop beating around the bush. Why is he trying to hold himself back? You made a scumbag sound like he'd suffered a lot!" Renee snarled.She gnashed her teeth. If her foot was not chained, she would have long beaten Jovan up for being evasive and mysterious."I think he was forced to give up his beloved woman because of his identity. He has suffered a lot." Jovan frowned, his tone laced with sympathy."What about his identity? I've already known about that. Our grandfathers decided on our marriage. What are we, Romeo and Juliet?" Renee had wondered if their families were sworn enemies. It might be the reason why Stefan was in a dilemma.However, her grandfather made the Hunts take care of her when her family was doomed. Her grandfather always wanted the best for her. He held her hand and told her that only Stefan could make her happy, and only the Hunt family could protect her. It seemed unreasonable that Stefan was

    Jovan was stunned to hear Renee's words. He was so furious, he laughed."Maybe!" He agreed with her and looked at her wickedly. "Since I can't win him over, I want his beloved woman.""You're out of your mind!" Renee was disgusted as goosebumps gripped her. "I'm not his most beloved woman. He loves Briar the most. You got the wrong person. You should kidnap Briar instead. Then, you can get to him."She was acting out of spite, but she meant what she had said.In the past, she was confident that Stefan loved her the most. After so many things had happened, she was no longer as confident. Stefan eventually broke up with her because of Briar. It was enough to prove her position in his heart."Haha! Do you really think so?" Jovan shook his head, his lips a complicated smile. He seemed to be muttering to himself or hinting at something. "Unfortunately, he can't always do a good job. His romance is a mess. His most beloved woman doesn't understand him. How pathetic!""Stop mumbling!

    "You're trying to take revenge on Stefan, aren't you? What did he do? Why do you hate him so much?" Renee demanded.She was particularly clueless.At the very least, she felt that Stefan and Jovan didn't have a grudge even if they couldn't get along. Besides—back then, Stefan survived because of Jovan's blood.In a sense, they should be close to each other. Stefan was able to live on because of Jovan.Yet now, Jovan wanted to ruin the one he had once risked his life to rescue."No, I don't hate him," Jovan answered honestly. "I even admire him, and I'm jealous of him. He's my role model, the pride of my family.""Then, you're envious of him!" Renee went straight to the point. "You can't defeat him, so you tried to make him disappear. When that happens, you'll feel better. No one will block you, and you'll get a chance to shine."Jovan, speechless, slowly stopped smiling. Renee had accurately guessed his innermost thoughts. Since he couldn't defeat Stefan, he would let Stefan b

    The thing Renee feared the most was that Jovan's action would infuriate the Baldwins.Quinton, Adie, Abby, and Margaret were still there. If the Baldwin family wanted to do something bad, Renee's family would be in danger. Her happiness was secondary. She just wanted to ensure that her family was safe and sound.It seemed Austin was full of schemes. Though he seemed to have brought her family to live with her, he in truth just wanted hostages to control her…Unfortunately, she couldn't go back in time even though she had seen through his tricks."What's the rush?" Jovan watched Renee with a meaningful smile. "Someone will handle it even if it's a big mess. Your family will be fine. My foolish cousin won't let them be in danger. At most, the two families will fight fiercely."Renee was shocked. She glared at him, and suddenly understood something. "So you did it on purpose! You wanted to watch them fight and get something from it.""That's not my concern. Once, I was more powerf

    After all, Jovan was a human being. Such direct physical pain made him shake and groan. Normally, he should get angry and try all means to make her stop biting him.However, he was not an ordinary man. Although he trembled in pain, he maintained his posture and let her bite him as if he wanted to see who would give up first.Renee kept biting him fiercely, as if her teeth would gnaw through his palm. Blood oozed out of the wound. She was full of hatred, wishing to vent her anger. "Just bite me hard as long as you're happy. I'm enjoying myself too!"Jovan looked at her, whose head was lowered as she kept biting his palm fiercely. It was a bloody scene, but his words made everything sound ambiguous. Renee noticed his underlying meaning and was disgusted. She immediately let go of his palm. "Bah! Disgusting! You're sick!"Her lips were still stained with blood. From afar, it looked like a blooming rose from afar. It looked attractive on her. Aroused, Jovan held the back of her

    The bed was around seventy inches large. Renee's eyes were closed as she moved anxiously.She thought she was still sleeping in the West Chamber, but the mattress didn't feel the same. Then, she abruptly opened her eyes. She saw a luxurious bedroom in the Paris La Nuit Club style. Above her hung a brilliant chandelier akin to the ones in medieval castles. A fragrant scent permeated the air. "You're finally awake…" A man's bewitching voice came from an inconspicuous corner. "Renee."Jovan was sitting in a luxurious chair, his legs crossed, swaying a glass of red wine. He appeared like a stereotypical vampire as he stared wickedly at Renee. "Are you out of your mind, Jovan? What did you do to me?" Renee yelled.Recalling what had happened, she abruptly sat up. Once she realized her situation, she started snarling at him. "Do you or your family hold a grudge against me? Why did you kidnap me from my engagement party?! Have you thought about the consequences? I'm sure you know h

    "I… I don't know! I really don't know!" The makeup artist's face was flushed, her eyes rolling back. She felt like she was about to faint again."Are you still trying to hide the truth?" Justin continued flexing his fingers. He was certain that the makeup artist who suddenly wanted to modify the size of the gown must be aware of the truth.With her eyes rolled back, the makeup artist begged him, "I'll tell you…! Please let me go! I'll tell you everything!" Hearing that, Justin slowly released his grasp.The makeup artist finally got a chance to breathe. She kept taking deep breaths and almost cried because of her terror. "What should I tell you?" She truly knew nothing."What?" Justin's gaze grew fierce."Oh, I remember it now…" She drew in a cold breath and hurriedly said, "A handsome guy came not long after you were gone. I think he's Mr. Hunt. When Ms. Everheart saw him, she was very…"She paused, trying to find her words. "She was very…?" Justin urged her. This was the
