Chapter 1631

Penulis: Mizuki Sei
"That's patient confidentiality. Why do I have to tell you?" Owen sounded righteous. He tilted his head a little and instructed the nurse handling the surgery table behind him, "Don't forget to put Ms. Everheart on an IV drip later. Her body is weak after the surgery. Don't be careless."

The nurse had cleaned up the surgery table. Renee was lying on it motionlessly, waiting for the anesthetic to pass.

At first, Owen said that Renee could have a medical abortion because the fetus was still small. But after the check-up, he found that the fetus was adhered quite firmly, so eventually he needed to perform dilation and a curettage to clear everything.

Renee was afraid of pain, so she chose regional anesthesia and let Owen handle it. Now, after everything was over, grief hit her like a wave. She couldn't even protect her baby. Lying on the surgery table, she could hear the fight outside, and tears ran down her cheeks.

"Confidentiality?" Stefan tried his best to control his temper an

    Renee ignored Stefan's question and turned to the nurse standing nearby. "I'm tired. Can you help me back to my room?" The effects of the anesthetic had passed, and she could move, but she was still weak from the abortion and poisoning. She had no energy to handle Stefan, and all she wanted to do was sleep.Stefan wasn't blind—he could tell that Renee was very uncomfortable. Besides, it was obvious she didn't want to tell him about the surgery, so he just controlled his emotions and stopped interrogating her. Taking a deep breath, he finally said, "Let me carry you." Seeing that, the nurse immediately said, "Thank you, Mr. Hunt. Since Ms. Everheart has just had surgery, she might experience some light spotting, but it's normal.""Spotting?" Stefan stiffened. He wanted to ask what surgery could cause that, but he stopped himself. He had been trying to get to the bottom of it, but it seemed like Renee didn't want him to know. He didn't want to make her feel bad, so he decided he woul

    "Wait!" Shirley, who had been watching everything indifferently, suddenly stopped Renee and Stefan.Stefan stopped and turned to look at Shirley. His tone was icy as he asked, "What?""Can I speak to Ms. Everheart?" Shirley asked Stefan, looking innocent and harmless."Absolutely not." Stefan rejected Shirley without any hesitation. He had met a lot of malicious women like Shirley, and he knew that she and Renee were not friends. There was no reason for her to speak to Renee."Yeah, you're not close to my bestie. What do you want to say to her? We don't know what wicked intentions you might have..." Leia snapped at Shirley, then said to Renee gently, "Ren, go and rest. Ignore this witch." Renee, however, found Shirley's request quite strange, so she whispered in Shirley's direction, "I'm sure Ms. White has something important to say given her sudden visit... Come to my room later. We can talk." "Okay, Ms. Everheart. I knew you were a fair person." Smugness gleamed in Shirley's

    Renee's sense of hearing and touch was enhanced because she was blind, and she could sense that Stefan's emotions were off. She asked hesitantly, "Stefan, are you crying?" "No, I'm not," Stefan said immediately. He turned away and took a deep breath, trying his best to control his emotions. "I don't believe you. You must be crying..." Renee patted the edge of the bed and said firmly, "Come sit here.""Why?""Come here. Stop asking so many questions." Stefan could not refuse Renee. He moved over and sat at the edge of the bed obediently."Turn your face towards me," Renee instructed Stefan."Why?" Stefan asked stubbornly."Just do it!" Renee ordered, her tone brooking no arguments. Helplessly, Stefan moved closer to Renee. He was a tycoon in Beach City, but when it came to Renee, he would do anything she wanted him to. The irony was not lost on him.When Renee felt Stefan nearby, she reached out and held his face. "You..." Stefan immediately tensed up as if someone was a

    In the past, Stefan never used to cry—they used to call him an iceberg. Even if Renee had died in front of him, he wouldn't even have flinched. But now, he couldn't stop his tears. Seeing men cry was so rare that people always said men's tears were the best stimulant for women.At first, Renee wanted Stefan to leave the room because she needed some time alone, but when she realized he was crying, her heart softened. She imagined his handsome face streaked with tears, painting a charmingly pitiful image, and suddenly felt the urge to grab him and kiss him. Hmm... She needed to calm down."Hey, aren't you the toughest CEO in Beach City? You cry more easily than Adie and Abby, I think I'd better change your nickname to 'crybaby'," Renee held his arm and said cheekily, trying to stifle her laughter."I'll say it again: I didn't cry. I just got dust in my eyes." Stefan scowled in embarrassment as he tried to defend himself. In his opinion, only feminine men would cry, and those were t

    After Stefan left, Shirley quickly knocked on Renee's room door."What do you want?" Leia scoffed, narrowing her eyes at Shirley suspiciously like she was a ticking time bomb. When everyone had gone to Owen, Leia had followed Shirley upstairs, and blocked her way when she knocked on Renee's door."It's none of your business; this is between Ms. Everheart and me. She promised to speak to me alone just now." Shirley's expression was hostile and unfriendly, very much different from her innocent look when she was in front of Xavier. "It's my business since you're looking for my bestie. She just had surgery and is blind, so she needs to be protected from wicked people like you," Leia said firmly."Ms. Osborne, I don't owe you anything, and I'm not your prisoner. Why do you always object to everything I do? Do you really have that much time on your hands?" Shirley smoothed her hair, her tone sarcastic. "If I were you, I would have spent more time dressing up. There are plenty of women

    Leia's expression stiffened, and she immediately asked, "What do you mean?" "If I have the chance to give up my eyes to her, I need to ask for a favor. I'm not a saint who doesn't ask for anything in return when I do something good," Shirley said casually."So, you're saying you're willing to give up your eyes to Ren?" Leia frowned suspiciously. She didn't think that Shirley was such a generous woman."That depends on my negotiation with Ms. Everheart..." Shirley flipped her hair and smirked. "I don't like non-profitable deals, and I'll only negotiate with people who can afford my price… I believe that Ms. Everheart is one of those people.""I know you won't agree so easily.. What are you up to? You'd better tell me now. I won't go easy on you if you dare harm my bestie!" Leia pointed at Shirley and threatened her."You'll know if I agreed or not after I'm done negotiating with her. If you refuse to let me talk to her, then it'll be hopeless. If you make me desperate, I'm not afraid o

    Shirley walked into the room and took a closer look at Renee. To her surprise, they did look very much alike, especially their eyes. Suddenly, she understood why Stefan and Leia were so stubborn about her eyes, and her heart skipped a beat at the thought of losing her eyes forever. "Ms. Everheart, I've heard so much about you. I always wanted to talk to you, but I never had the chance..." Shirley walked over to Renee's bed and was shocked to see Renee's ruined eyes. She frowned. "I didn't expect to speak to you under such… unfortunate circumstances." As far as she remembered, Renee had beautiful eyes that seemed like they could see through people's hearts… but now, they were gone. Shirley's guilt made her avert her gaze timidly. When Renee felt Shirley getting closer, she smiled. "Do you think I look pitiful?""No, I don't!" Shirley protested earnestly. "Honestly, I'm jealous of you because there are so many people who are concerned about you. You're blessed, Ms. Everheart. You've

    "I guess you can see it that way," Shirley admitted, then said bluntly, "I know that you and Ms. Osborne are best friends, and both of you are willing to risk your lives for each other. If I harm Ms. Osborne, you definitely won't let me off the hook.""If you know it, then you shouldn't harbor such thoughts." Renee's voice grew cold and menacing, and it was hard to tell if she was warning Shirley or advising her. "If you want to win over a man, you shouldn't rely on wicked schemes. If you know about my past with Stefan, you should know that schemes will only push men away. I hope you won't try anything, or you might lose what you want and get into unnecessary trouble." "But what else can I do to win Xavier back other than this?" For some reason, grief and jealousy overwhelmed Shirley the moment she saw Renee, and all her inner thoughts came pouring out. "I'm jealous that Ms. Osborne has a nice friend like you. You can guide her when she's in difficulty, but I don't have that. I've a

    Jovan was not mad. Instead, he smirked with satisfaction. "Yeah, that's right. Never let me get that. We need to keep owing something to each other and always get tangled up with each other!"Renee could not take it, and acted like she was about to vomit. "I can't keep on eating. It's disgusting." Although she had made such a claim, she sat down and was engrossed in enjoying the food. She was not as tense as before and started to relax.Similarly, Jovan started eating with satisfaction. The current situation was what he wanted the most. She hated him, but it was her true self.When they were full, it was almost time for them to board the plane. Before boarding, Renee hesitated for a long time before calling Justin. She gave him three calls, but he picked up neither of them.On the other hand, Jovan was sitting in the exclusive lounge for the passengers of first-class cabins. He was flipping through magazines to kill his boredom when he noticed Renee's phone. Jovan smiled and

    At that time, Jovan was peeling prawns for Renee. They were hot but fresh. When he was peeling them, their hotness burned his fingers, but he was fine with it."Yes, I had…" While blowing the prawns to cool them down, Jovan smiled and said, "I didn't find one at the moment, so I can't forget about you."Renee frowned and said grumpily, "Don't blame it on me. You just can't settle down. I don't want to be accused wrongly."She never felt that Jovan loved her deeply. He merely acted like an overbearing child who tried to snatch away his cousin's beloved woman because he always regarded his cousin as a role model. It was not that different from trying to snatch away one's toy. Of course, that wasn't true love."Just introduce a woman to me then." Jovan finally peeled the prawns and poured some sauce on them before he placed them on a plate before her. He added, "Have them while they're hot. They taste the best now. You need more protein since you're weak."Renee found it difficul

    Vermillion was neither eye-catching nor dark. It suited the scarf around her neck well, making her look brighter and more sophisticated. She was not as pale and weak as she looked just now. "I like this color. I didn't expect you to know women this well. You picked the right lipstick color." Renee pursed her lips and sincerely praised Jovan.Usually, insensible men would pick pink lipstick, which was awful. When Jovan picked that lipstick, Renee's heart skipped a beat. She was even wondering where she should go to remove the lipstick. However, it was not pink. It happened to be vermillion, which she had always favored. It would be hard to gain such knowledge if Jovan had not had experience with it. It could be seen that he had dated quite a lot of women."I'm glad you like it." Jovan looked at her rosy lips which were wonderful and charming. He inevitably swallowed.Renee noticed that he was charmed—but he was not simply attracted by her. Instead, he admired her religiously, whi

    "His money?" After a brief pause, Renee waved her hand and said without hesitation, "Well, I'll take this then!""Sure! Please wait for a moment." The saleslady's eyes brightened as she quickly packed the bracelet for Renee.Renee took the gift box and handed it to Jovan. Jovan took it readily and willingly carried it for her like her lackey.They exited the jewelry shop and went shopping someplace else. "You didn't want to use my money, but you used his. Do you value him or me?" Jovan was asking for rebuff. Renee turned and glanced at him. "What do you think?""Of course, you value me." Jovan grinned. "The greatest love is feeling sorry for and doting on your beloved. You must have felt sorry for me. So, you didn't want to spend my money.""Congratulations. You're good at comforting yourself." Renee was quite amused. She could not tell who she valued more. She had wanted to spend Stefan's money because she resented him, so she wanted to waste his money. She refused to use J

    It would cost around 150 fifteen dollars or less. Renee found it hard to spend so much of Jovan's money.Jovan stood behind Renee and acted like her wallet. He pocketed his hands and said straightforwardly, "Just show it to us.""Sure!" The saleslady's eyes lit up. She said something to the walkie-talkie, then asked them to wait. The headquarters were trying their best to deliver the item quickly. "May I know how much the new item costs?" Renee asked the saleslady tentatively."It depends on the individual prices of the jewelry and antiques. Its starting price is around 450 thousand dollars," the saleslady explained calmly.It was not a small figure for jewelry or an antique. If they were combined, the item would be more expensive. But people who came to the jewelry shop were powerful and rich figures. Hence, it was not an expensive price either."450 thousand dollars?!" Renee pursed her lips and tilted her head to look at Jovan. "I'll make an excuse to go to the washroom late

    The car drove through the city center in a high-profile manner and reached BC Airport. Jovan had bought an afternoon flight, so they had to wait for five hours. Of course, he had done it purposely because he wanted to spend more time with Renee.After parking the car, Jovan hypocritically glanced at his watch and asked in a dilemma. "There are five hours left before our flight. Do you want to go shopping?""I'm not in the mood." Renee leaned against the shotgun seat and sounded weak. After all, she had just escaped death. Yes, she had recovered, but her body had undergone a lot of hardships. She became rather weak. She was not interested in everything and was naturally in no mood to go shopping. "If you're not in the mood, let's get you into the mood. Let's go!" Jovan opened his car door and went to the other side to open the door of the shotgun seat. He dragged Renee out of the car. Helpless, Renee got out of the car with him reluctantly. After checking in on the flight, Jov

    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
