Chapter 1641

Author: Mizuki Sei
Stefan smacked away Xavier's hand coldly and glared at Xavier and Owen fiercely. "Is this all an act so Shirley doesn't have to give up her eyes?"

"Are you kidding me?" Xavier huffed exasperatedly. He had always admired Stefan, but now he found him shameless and insensible, attacking everyone without reason. "I know I can be a jerk sometimes, but even I won't go that far. Why would I ask Shirley to come here to take the test then? You're not thinking straight!"

Owen quickly chimed in, "And I'm just a doctor. I don't want to meddle in anyone's relationship. If it's a match, I would have told you. There's no need for me to pretend."

Stefan closed his eyes and covered his face, looking troubled. He felt like he had lost the courage to face the world… and Renee. "What should I do? What about… Ren?" Stefan asked hoarsely. When things were dire, he was optimistic because he felt things would definitely get better. However, having his hope snatched away was too painful. He had thought tha

    Stefan watched Owen leave the study with a frown, then glanced at the stack of thick medical reports on the floor. Anxiety gripped him, and after a brief hesitation, he bent over to pick them up. He scanned through the documents. Although there were many medical terms, he could understand some of them. It was reported that the fetus had stopped developing, and Renee had a painless miscarriage. She was also suffering from heavy metal poisoning and nerve damage. Stefan's face became deathly pale and his mouth went dry."What… How?" Stefan couldn't believe his eyes. His hands were trembling, and his eyes turned bloodshot.Xavier was upset by Stefan's accusations, and had secretly decided he wouldn't be his friend anymore, but when he saw Stefan's reaction, he felt worried. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and barked, "Hey, what's going on? Is it good news or bad news?"However, Stefan looked like he hadn't even heard Xavier. The reports fell from his hands, and he kept muttering, "N

    Stefan stormed up the stairs, livid."Mr. Hunt, there you are. How are the test results? Can I help... Ah!" Stefan pushed Shirley away rudely. He had no patience to be polite or talk to anyone—all he wanted to do was see Renee.Meanwhile, Renee was lying in bed, suffering both physical and psychological pain. Her slim body was curled into a tiny ball, and she was as pale as a ghost.Stefan sneaked into the room quietly, holding his breath as he neared the bed. As he watched her tremble and writhe in pain, tears filled his eyes. He didn't dare to speak because she might pretend she was okay if she knew he was there. She would force a smile even if she was in pain.What a failure of a husband he was.His wife had been suffering so much, but he didn't even know it. When she laid on the cold surgery table to remove their child, he hadn't been with her."Ugh!" As the anesthesia wore off and the pain of the poison returned, Renee's stomach and body ached. It was a gnawing pain that g

    Renee did feel that her pain had diminished a little, though she didn't know why. As the days went by, Stefan stayed by her side as her eyes and her support, describing the world to her every day. Meanwhile, Owen was working hard to find treatments to detoxify Renee. "The most important thing now is to find the components of the poison, then, I can make the antidote for it..." Owen frowned anxiously. This might be the most difficult case of his career. "We're running out of time. Did you find out anything about the poison?" Stefan grasped his hands together, his gaze fierce. "We can only find the person who poisoned her if we want to know what poison it was. I'll get the news very soon." Then, he glanced at his wristwatch. "Give me half a day. I'll tell you the answer by tonight." He got up and left the study in a hurry.Elijah had started the car and was waiting for Stefan outside Everheart Manor. "Mr. Hunt, I found her. Should we go there now?""Let's go." The car drove fast

    Stefan didn't complain as he kept his head low and climbed up the rugged and winding cliff. He would not hesitate to climb the cliff as long as he could find the answer. He'd even kneel with every step up the cliff if he was asked to. The climb wasn't an easy one, and it would usually take more than an hour, but since Stefan was only given half an hour, he ran to the top. There was a small flat area on the top of the cliff, and the only thing that could be seen was the blue sea ahead. The woman was standing at the edge of the cliff, and dug her nails into her palms when she saw Stefan. "Mr. Hunt, I'm sorry. I've ruined your peaceful life with Ms. Everheart. I… I actually came here to end things. I want to atone for my sins." Tess' face was full of tears, and she looked very pale. In just a few days, she'd become haggard and thin as if she was being poisoned too, but it was just her guilt and stress weighing on her. Stefan calmed his rapid breathing and asked Tess calmly, "Don't ste

    After that, Tess closed her eyes and spread her arms, falling backwards off the cliff."No!" Stefan lunged forward and grabbed her arm.Tess opened her eyes and looked at him in shock. She sobbed as she shook her head. "Mr. Hunt, I'm a sinner. Why did you save me? I should die. Let go!""I believe that you didn't harm her on purpose, so you can't resolve this by ending your life..." Stefan frowned and forcefully tried to pull Tess up. Sweat rolled down his face as he hissed, "Come back and make up for it!""No, I can't... I really can't. If I don't die, she won't let go of my family. My family will become worthless to her if I'm dead, and only then will they be safe!" Tess had decided to die before she climbed up the cliff. She wanted to fix her mistake, so she had called that woman over so Stefan could confront her. Then Tess would die, and everything would be okay again. "Cut the crap! I can't hold you any longer… Come up!" Stefan had no energy to talk as he struggled to pull

    "Of course I know who you are." Stefan's gaze was cold, his tone vague. "I thought you were dead." Previously, Seraphina had threatened Renee with a video of Renee accidentally pushing Briar off a cliff. Thanks to that, Renee and Stefan had lost so much time with each other. Stefan had thought that Briar was dead given the surging waves below the cliff, but he was ultimately relieved to see her.Briar cried under the mask. She looked at Stefan and asked, "How did you feel when you saw that I'm alive?""I was thankful." Stefan didn't hesitate. "I'm thankful that you're alive and that I can still talk to you." "Do you mean it?" Briar was surprised. "I thought you hated me and wanted me dead." "Yes, I do hate you. Ren and I wouldn't have wasted so many years if not for you, but... I'm thankful that you're still alive. It means that Ren doesn't have to carry all that guilt. She doesn't have to turn herself in," Stefan said honestly.Briar staggered back, feeling like she had just be

    "So, you're not that stupid after all—you know that my brother was the best man you've ever met. Unfortunately, you were never sincere towards him. You're unworthy of his love!" Stefan snarled, his fingers digging into Briar's neck. He took a deep breath, trying his best to hold himself back. If his deceased brother knew that his beloved woman turned out to be such a wicked and hypocritical witch, he might not rest in peace. "I admit that I've wronged your brother, but who do we blame? You, of course!" Briar didn't flinch even though Stefan almost broke her neck. She held his arms, tears in her eyes from the pain as she stared at him. "If it weren't for you, your brother wouldn't have died. I would still be with him, and I might have even fallen in love with him as time went by. What right do you have to criticize me?"Stefan's heart skipped a beat. That was Stefan's sore point, and something he had hidden from others. Yes, Briar was not a nice person—she had never loved Tristan and

    Stefan's grip on Briar's neck tightened. Time was life; the more they delayed the more at risk Renee was. Stefan had to get the answer now."Yes, I did," Briar said instantly."Do you have a death wish? How can you be so wicked?" Stefan growled, unable to control his anger. He didn't expect Briar to be so cruel; she clearly felt no guilt or remorse even though she had harmed another person. Stefan was in disbelief. "Am I wicked?" Briar sneered. "I just let her have a taste of her own medicine. She put me in a living hell, so I did the same to her. What have I done wrong?""I watched that video. She didn't push you down the cliff on purpose, she was just trying to protect herself. It was you who tried to kill her!" "I'm not talking about her pushing me down the cliff..." Briar watched Stefan calmly, then said nonchalantly, "She put me in a living hell by snatching you away. You and I were a couple, and everything was going smoothly. Even though it was fake, I believed that we wo

    "Cut the crap!" Sabre was a man who had undergone a lot of things and problems all year round. He abruptly gripped Jovan's chin and said coldly, "You can't keep your head for long. You'd better not waste your energy, and you should watch your tongue.""Well, there's something I should say." Jovan didn't resist as he grabbed the chance to touch Sabre's face. "What's your name, dude? Why are you doing this job at such a young age? How much did Austin pay you every month? I'll give you ten times your salary. Just betray him and work for me.""I'm going to kill you!" Sabre was always a serious man, and got furious because of Jovan's words. He was about to slap Jovan before Renee immediately stopped him."Don't do this, Sabre. Let's talk it out. He's the vice president of Hunt Enterprise, but you wanted to slap him. We should keep peace. Plus, he generally never watches his tongue, and he scolds his family more fiercely. Don't take him seriously." Renee tried her best to calm Sabre dow

    "I'll come even if you don't welcome me. Bye." Renee hung up. She knew that Justin resented her and feared that Austin might punish her. Regardless, he could not stop her from going to North City. She understood that no one could be at ease if the issue was unresolved. She was the cause of the conflict—the key factor. Thus, she must go there.Finally, the plane took off. Renee fell into thoughts while watching the dense clouds. Jovan sat beside her and noticed her worry. He wanted to hold her hand to comfort her and give her strength. However, his hand stopped in midair. He decided against holding her hand. He knew that she did not need his consolation or reassurance. Instead, she would only resent him."Don't worry. It's going to be okay." Jovan sounded casual. "I'm the culprit and will be blamed. You don't have to be scared."Renee turned and frowned at him. "I don't want to see you in danger, either."Jovan looked serious before he beamed. "Well, I'll risk my life for

    Hence, Renee did not beat around the bush or refuse to answer Jovan's question on purpose. She had no idea what her heart wanted and could only see how things went."What?" Jovan narrowed his eyes, wearing a complex expression. The current situation gave him a great sense of danger. He teased, "It looks like I've underestimated that guy. He can end up your man though he's your fallback guy.""Can't you watch your tongue?" Renee became angry as she stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth. "Eat something and stop talking."At that time, her phone rang. Justin did call her back—just like what Jovan had said. Renee quickly picked it up, sounding anxious. "Justin, why didn't you answer my calls? I called you several times!""What's the matter?" Justin sounded extremely icy. Renee had never seen him act that way—it felt unreal. She said carefully, "I want to ask where you are now.""What's the matter?" Justin kept his cold demeanor and repeated the same question without saying anythi

    A minute passed by. Renee was holding the phone but had yet to get a call back from Justin. She was not that very confident."Why isn't he calling me back? Should I call him again?" Although she did not want to be embarrassed, she already did after making six calls. She was fine with it already."Calm down. Let's wait a little longer." Jovan sipped some coffee and sounded at ease."Will he call me back?" Renee held her chin, uncertain. For the first time, she knew how aggrieved a kiss-ass felt. In a way, she was considered one as she tried to please Jovan.Jovan placed the cup of coffee down and looked at Renee with leisure and surprise. "Are you that eager to get in touch with him?"After all, based on his observation as an outsider, he knew Renee did not love Justin. Renee only cared about Stefan and regarded Justin as merely a friend. Logically, she shouldn't be that upset."Of course." Renee was open about her feelings and added honestly, "I did want to spend the rest of

    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
