Chapter 1471

Author: Mizuki Sei
Francine hesitated briefly, then finally agreed to Elijah's suggestion.

Adie entered the ward alone, and walked through the long vestibule. After a while, he saw Stefan, who was sitting on a hospital bed.

Since Stefan had just had surgery, his head was wrapped in bandages, and he looked rather weak. His lips were pale, and it looked like he might faint at any second. The strangest thing about him though, were his eyes. They used to be sharp and bright, but now, they were void and blank.

The great Stefan Hunt looked like a zombie.

Initially, Adie has been very dissatisfied with Stefan, but after he saw how pitiful he looked, he felt sorry for him. He couldn't even find the words to insult Stefan, and after staring at him for a while, the little boy carefully whispered, "Stefan?"

Stefan had been staring outside the window, but when he heard Adie, he turned to him with bright eyes. "You're... Adie?" Images flooded Stefan's mind, and the last one was a lovely memory of him and his

    They loved each other deeply, but the pain of being together seemed greater than when they were apart. If that was the case, Stefan felt that it was more logical to distance himself from Renee. "What do you mean? Are you going to give my mommy up?" Stefan's words filled Adie with displeasure. It was one thing prohibiting Stefan from getting close to Renee, but it was another thing if Stefan tried to stay away from Renee."No, it's not that I want to give her up, but I... I just want her to be happy," Stefan said quietly, feeling like he could never make Renee happy. "It's useless if all you do is talk; you have to do something if you want to make my mommy happy. Yes, I said I don't want to see you with my mommy, but why didn't you try to change my mind?" Adie huffed disapprovingly, then demanded, "Do you still love my mommy?" "Yes, I do." Stefan nodded firmly without any hesitation."Then, have you ever tried to win a woman over?" Adie asked, raising a brow."No..." After thin

    Adie looked at Stefan solemnly. "My mommy might be in trouble because even though she couldn't do video calls, she could still make voice calls. I don't think she's being controlled by someone, and I've already found her location… but I can't save her. I need your help.""What?" Anxiety seized Stefan when he recalled that Renee's last location had been in Jovan's manor. He clenched his fists, ashamed at himself for thinking that she had been on a date with Jovan when there was clearly something more sinister at hand. If she wasn't in trouble, she would have surely had a video call with her children. "Stop daydreaming. Are you going to help or not? If you can't, I'm going to call the cops and ask them for help." Adie had regarded Stefan as his last resort, and he could only call the cops if Stefan refused to help. However, he knew that the cops would be very slow, and they would definitely ask for evidence. In fact, the cops might not even take him seriously since he was just a child

    Stefan had considered the possibility that Renee might be dating Jovan, which was why it might have been inconvenient for her to video call her children. However, since Adie had come to Stefan for help, he now had the excuse to meddle in it, and there was no way he was letting go of this opportunity. Elijah quickly called some people over to go to Jovan's manor."Well... Although you're disloyal, you're efficient. That's good." Adie gave Stefan a thumbs-up and declared, "Initially, you had a negative hundred points, but now you've earned yourself one point, so your current total is negative ninety-nine points. Work harder, and you can get back with my mommy once you get a hundred points." Both Stefan and Elijah were amused by Adie's words.Elijah teased, "It's going to take a long time for them to get back together, Adie. Aren't you afraid that they might find someone new by then?""If that happens, it means they aren't a perfect match. In that case, it's okay even if they find

    Adie immediately felt relieved, and warned Stefan, "You have to keep your word and come see my mommy, or... I'll deduct 100 points!""Don't worry, I'll keep my word. We can pinky swear on it." Stefan smiled affectionately at Adie and held his hand out."How childish! Only kids do pinky swears," Adie scoffed, but still walked over and hooked his pinky with Stefan's. He glared at Stefan and said, "It's a deal. Don't break it."Margaret took Adie's hand and they left the room, but Francine quickly caught up to them. She couldn't bear to see Adie leave. "Are you going home so soon? How was your chat with your daddy, Adie? Did he remember who you were?" Francine rarely met Adie, so she always cherished every second she had with him."It wasn't too bad. I gave him one point," Adie said coolly. Honestly, he didn't feel much for his grandmother because he didn't spend much time with her. He was on Renee's side, so naturally, he regarded Stefan and those around Stefan as his enemies. He kne

    "Yes, I remember everything." Stefan said indifferently, "To be more specific, I've only remembered the happy memories. The unhappy memories are quite blurry now." It was because he had been deliberately trying to forget about the unhappy times. He and Renee had been through a lot, and all those memories exhausted him, which was why he'd decided to keep only the good memories."What's your plan now?" Francine asked directly. She hadn't planned to ask him initially, but seeing Adie had filled her with joy. She wanted to be with her grandkids every day, so she secretly hoped that Stefan would try to get back with Renee. "I don't have any," Stefan replied bluntly."What do you mean? Don't you want to win Renee back? Do you want your children to call another man 'father'? You might be able to accept that, but I can't!" Francine huffed and looked away in frustration. Her son was just as timid as her husband—he was a coward when it came to love affairs, and even when he tried, he was hes

    "It's okay, I won't force you to answer since you've just recovered!" Francine interrupted Stefan quickly. She didn't want him to say no, and besides, everything depended on whether Renee would accept him. She thought about it for a while, then suggested, "If you're worried about your incompatibility, I'll go to The Soul Rocks to ask the expert there to help you. I'll make sure to get rid of all obstacles for you." Elijah gave Francine a thumbs-up. "That's a great idea, Madam Francine." After that, he looked at Stefan. "Please rest well, Mr. Hunt. We'll try and help you settle Ms. Everheart's issue and the company affairs. For now, the most important thing is for you to rest well and get better." The harmonious atmosphere was interrupted by a bodyguard running into the room, looking distraught. "Madam, please come out for a while. We need your help to handle something."Francine glared at the bodyguard and said to Stefan, "Rest well, Stef. I'll go and see what the uproar is about.

    Currently, the Hunt family was still the leading family of The Great Eight of Beach City, so the Murphys didn't dare to offend them."You ran out of options?" Francine sneered. "Aren't you just here to show off? Why pretend to be sorry? Just tell me why you're here.""It's about my dear daughter. She had her heart set on your son, and the wedding date was already decided and people were informed, but now… she can't even meet her future husband. What kind of crap is that?" Ethan gritted his teeth to keep his hatred at bay."Well, it's a delicate situation. I'm sure your daughter didn't tell you that she wanted to kill my son's surgeon to prevent the surgery. How else could I guarantee that she wouldn't do anything to my son?" Francine bluntly exposed what Seraphina did. She knew Seraphina had taken good care of Stefan for the last six months, and she couldn't really find fault with her. If nothing had happened, she would have been happy to see Seraphina marry Stefan since they were c

    Francine's admiration for Adie grew when she heard what he had done. She felt that Adie had taken after his mother and grandmother, and he was much better than his reserved father. Adie was a promising candidate to run Hunt Enterprise in the future, and he might even be more capable than his father. "Your grandson nearly got my daughter killed, and you're laughing? Are you mocking her?" Ethan blustered, his face red in anger. He had wanted Francine to feel guilty, but it looked like she was more amused than anything about the whole incident.Francine snorted. "Yeah, I'm mocking her. She's an adult, but she was bested by a kid. Isn't it ridiculous?" After that, she took a step toward Ethan and said fiercely, "And for your information, I'm fully aware of my grandson's character—he'd never attack someone unless they provoked him first. The better question is why he pushed your daughter into the pond; I think you'd better ask your daughter about it before putting on a show here." "Fra

    Leia couldn't understand it. Both Renee and Stefan once loved each other passionately. They had soldiered through a lot of difficulties. But when everything became better, they stopped seeing each other. Such separation brought a fatal blow to her views on love. Suddenly, she found herself too timid to give up her heart. After all, it was nothing. People could break up with each other easily."No wonder Xavier refused to come. If he was here, I would have hated him because of Stefan. I'd beat the crap out of him!" Leia was furious, but she couldn't find someone to vent her anger on.The Stuart family was invited to the party too, but Xavier refused to come. He claimed that he would have betrayed Stefan if he had come to the party.However, Stefan was the greatest betrayal of his romance since he remained silent and indifferent. While Leia was still angry, everyone in the hall suddenly fell silent. They stretched their heads to look at the entrance of the hall."The Hunt famil

    "I… I don't know what you're talking about," Liam muttered guiltily, avoiding Leia's scrutinizing gaze. "You must know what I'm talking about!" Leia refused to let Liam go and went straight to the point. "Look! Because of such a bind, you probably fell in love with Amber, who isn't related to you. Why can't Ren fall in love with Justin after spending a long time with him?""So, what's your point?" Liam didn't refute Leia. He was curious about what she was trying to say. Leia reasonably explained her opinion, "I'm trying to tell you that things might not be as bad as you imagine. Even if you take Ren away and stop this ceremony, things might not be better either."She was too timid to tell Liam that she regarded Renee and Justin's marriage in a favorable light because she found them similar. Similar people could at least lead a stable life though it might not be very passionate and exciting.After leading a wandering life for such a long time, Renee needed steady happiness. It

    Liam was impressed while looking at Justin's calm expression. He had always thought that Justin was cunning and full of schemes. He was even worried that Justin might plot against Renee in the future.However, Justin was quite open and generous. He was considering things from Renee's angle. He could be Renee's haven, but if he stepped down, he could willingly grant Renee's wish to be with the one she loved. It seemed that Justin was selfless, and Liam felt that he was worse than Justin. No wonder Renee would choose to spend the rest of her life with Justin. It seemed like he was a reliable man.Justin pocketed his hands and asked casually, "Is there any other problem now?""Not at the moment." Liam frowned in defeat. Since Justin had made such a big compromise, he would seem like a fool if he was too arrogant and refused to give up. A long sigh escaped him as he let go of Renee's hand, but he was still hopeful. He boasted to Justin, "Wait and see! I'll make Stefan appear.""Go

    "Let go of her!" Justin turned cold and grabbed Renee's other hand. He said darkly to Liam, "You don't have the right to take her with you!""Hmph! I don't have the right to take her with me? Well, you don't have the right to marry her. I must take her with me today. Worst comes to worst, I'll fight your family!"Though he was too weak to fight the powerful Baldwin family, Liam was never a coward. He would fight the whole world alone for the sake of Renee's happy and stable life."Calm down…"In comparison, Justin was calmer. He was probably more confident since it was his territory and he could affirm Renee would not leave with Liam. He started mocking Liam. "I'm not the kind of person who will force others to do things they refuse to do. If Ren wants to leave, I'll let her go even if my family disowns me. But I know that she won't leave. At the very least, she won't leave with you.""What do you mean?" Liam could tell that Justin was mocking him, and it annoyed him. "Why are

    Liam felt that his situation at the fort was almost the same as Renee's current situation. He had thought that the marriage was just for show. If he was unhappy, he could get a divorce. Even then, things were not that easy when he wanted to get out of that mess. If Amber had not protected him, Benjamin would have long gotten him killed. He knew better than anyone else how unfair it was for the other party when one tolerated and went through with the marriage.Amber was naive and was willing to be treated unfairly, but Justin was no fool. He would not be able to take it if it lasted for a long time. It was easy to imagine what Renee would face when Justin stopped taking her side."Let's go! I'm not afraid. You don't have to be afraid, either." Liam made up his mind to support Renee, who was standing behind him.Renee bit her lips and started to waver; not because she did not want to be with Justin, but simply because she was not confident in herself. She was afraid she would neve

    "Liam, what are you doing?" Leia looked at Liam, unable to understand his sudden excitement."I'm going to meet Austin or Justin. I want them to cancel this engagement ceremony." Liam held Renee's wrist and tried to drag her out of the suite.He was certain Renee didn't want to marry Justin, so it was very likely that she would regret it in the future. It would be hard to settle if she regretted it after the engagement party. Liam felt that he had to try his best to put everything under control while he still could. Feeling helpless, Leia complained, "Stop making a scene… This is Ren's marriage. You can't make all this fuss!""You don't know. I'm doing this for her. I want the best for her." Liam knew the consequences of resisting Austin, given the man's position. He was also ready to be punished by them. Even though he would be beaten up vigorously, he would not hesitate as long as he could stop the ceremony and help Renee avoid such risks. "If you want the best for her, just

    Leia felt so awkward that she wanted to run away. "Hey, can you stop flattering yourself? You haven't settled your messy romance, so please don't get Ren involved. You shouldn't joke like that!"Similarly, Liam found his joke impudent and admitted to his mistake. "Yeah, I was wrong. Don't take my joke seriously."Both Renee and Leia were amused. It helped relieve their tension. "But have you thought it through? After this ceremony, you'll be a part of the Baldwin family. You can't regret it by then," Liam said; he was worried about Renee. Everyone knew the Baldwin family's style. They had such a grand ceremony today. If anything went wrong, the Everheart family might be ruined for the second time. Although nobody knew who would win the battle, the trouble could be avoided. Liam was clueless as to why Renee wanted to take such a risk."Yes, I have." Renee nodded and added firmly, "I'd thought it through the moment I boarded the plane with Justin to fly here."It was the last c

    Renee was done getting ready. As her closest friend, Leia came to North City with Liam immediately.The engagement ceremony was held in a magnificent hall of a top hotel. The guests arrived one by one and chatted among themselves. It was a luxurious and grand scene. "Ren, I'm sorry I'm late!" Leia arrived at the hotel suite where Renee was waiting. She put her hands together to express her apology. "It's Liam's fault! He was out of his mind and insisted on not coming here, but I forced him to and took some time. Please don't be mad at me!""Silly, I won't be mad at you. Plus, this ceremony doesn't carry much meaning. The Baldwin family just needs this as an assurance. It doesn't matter even if you're absent."Renee looked indifferent and was not at all happy and eager like a bride-to-be. The engagement ceremony was held to announce to the world about the relationship between her and Renee. In all honesty, Renee was resistant to it. She did not want her family or friends to at

    Margaret decided to be frank since Renee had said so. "I can tell that you don't sincerely love Mr. Baldwin. Your marriage is just a way to avoid reality. Why are you so harsh on yourself if that's the case? Now, you're making such a big fuss about moving here. If you fail to get along with him and have to return to Beach City in the future, many people will gossip about you. They'll say nasty things about you. Why do you have to put yourself in such a condition?""Margaret, you don't understand…" Renee looked at herself in the mirror. She looked very charming, like a bride in ancient paintings. Everyone would be charmed by her—including herself. She knew very well that she was the one taking the lead in her romance with Justin. They could go on forever as long as she didn't end it. She was just afraid she could not hold on and wanted to stop, and the only reason that she wanted to stop was probably because of Stefan. "If I stay in Beach City, I'll come across Stefan. I know t
