Chapter 296

Author: Mizuki Sei
"Cecilia didn't confess anything..." Christopher continued, "I just think, based on what I know about you, that you wouldn't be the kind of person to do that kind of thing. One, you have no motive, and two, it's not worth it for you."

Renee snorted coldly. "Yeah. I have no motive, and it's not worth it for me. You can see such obvious things, but Stefan Hunt can't.”

"Stef's a bit naive. He doesn't truly understand the complexity of the human heart."

"Yes, just like an idiot."

The two could not help but smile at that. A thousand words were exchanged in those smiles.

Xavier was lying on the hospital bed with one leg hanging in plaster, unable to move. He was in a terrible state and was extremely agitated.

When he saw Christopher and Renee walk into his ward, he called out at them like a drowning man clutching at a straw, "Thank god you two are here. Hurry up and get me out of here. This place is like a prison. I can't stay here for a minute longer."

Christopher frowned and said se

    "But I want to..." Xavier hesitated while looking at Renee, looking very pitiful."You want to play video games, right? You can't!"Renee's attitude was firm, like a disciplinary teacher."Hmph, whatever!"His hopes crushed, Xavier angrily covered his head with the blanket and went to sleep.The way he was fierce but scared at the same time was kinda cute.When he heard that they were leaving, he quickly pulled down the blanket and asked, "Renee, you said you're going to take care of me. Is that true?""Of course." Renee did not hesitate. “You saved my life. Isn't it natural for me to take care of you?"But let me make this clear. I'm not a very patient woman. If you keep being difficult and refuse to cooperate like you did earlier, I can't promise I won't beat you up!”"There's no need to worry. As long as you're the one taking care of me, I'll definitely cooperate."Xavier went back to sleep.Christopher watched all this with a somewhat complicated expression."Mr. Jacobs

    Christopher and Xavier immediately stopped talking, both looking guilty.“Bro, why didn't you knock before you came in? That's really rude!"Stefan's handsome face was expressionless, like an iceberg. He walked up to Xavier, knocked on the hung up plastered foot, and asked, "Does it still hurt?"Xavier's face immediately crumpled as he cried out in pain, "Ouch, ouch, ouch! Bro, are you trying to kill me? I sacrificed my life to save your ex-wife. Is this how you repay me?""You seem to be in high spirits. Looks like you're completely fine. In that case, stop telling everybody that you saved her.”Stefan's voice was cold, as if he did not want to accept the fact that Xavier had saved Renee's life.After all, the status of life savior carried a lot of weight. In ancient times, the rescued victim may even repay the savior with personal favors. Stefan felt very unhappy thinking about it."That's right!" Christopher chimed in, "This brat even wants her to take care of his everyday ne

    Xavier gulped hard and quickly said, "There are professional employees in the hospital that can care for me. You guys are busy. You really don't have to do this.""I'm serious. You saved her, so I must do something for you to repay you. You're not allowed to refuse!" Stefan's attitude was firm. He urged, "Open your mouth and drink the soup!"Xavier had no choice but to give in.Before he had finished the first spoonful, Stefan was already feeding him another. In the end, Xavier was so full that he felt like his stomach was gonna burst.Oh god, what sin had he committed to deserve this? He saved someone's life and even broke his leg doing so, but he now had to be a tool in those two's argument. He felt like the most miserable man in the world!When Renee saw that he had finished the soup, she immediately brought out an apple, peeled it with a knife, and handed it to him. "Having some fruit after dinner is good for digestion."Stefan urged again, "Eat the fruit."Xavier was speech

    After Renee left the hospital, she was still furious.“He's so annoying! What is wrong with him? He's so worried that I would ruin his precious friend's life. He's totally looking down on me!”She took a taxi back to the Hunt Villa.Margaret was already there. She was rubbing her hands anxiously.When she finally saw Renee, she immediately rushed over. "Ms. Ren, what's going on? How did Everheart Manor burn down while I was out doing grocery? Why did you ask me to wait for you at the Hunt Villa?”The tears she had been holding back came pouring out when Renee saw Margaret.Like a child, she threw herself into Margaret's arms and cried, "Margaret, what took you so long? Our house is gone! Our home is gone!""Don't cry, Ms. Ren. Don't cry!" Margaret gently stroked Renee's back and comforted her, "Don't be sad. Our home will never be gone. Home is where you and I are. So what if the house burned down? We can just rebuild it. Don't cry!""It's all gone..." Renee bawled her eyes out

    Renee’s voice was flat, and her attitude was far from polite. She looked like she was ready for a fight.She was not the old Renee anymore. She did not have to be considerate of Francine's feelings now. If Francine dared to make a scene, she would definitely retaliate!However, to Renee's astonishment, Francine actually smiled at her warmly."Can't I just come to see how my daughter-in-law is doing? I don't really need a specific reason to come here.”"Huh?"Renee's eyes widened, and her jaw dropped.Did Francine hit her head or something? She had always just called Renee the harbinger of tragedy and she had never been kind to her, yet today...Margaret said happily, "Ms. Ren, Madam Francine is so kind. She even brought you a gift. Do you want to open it and have a look?""Uhh, I..."Before Renee could respond, Margaret had already opened the beautifully packed present."Wow, it's a sapphire necklace. It's so beautiful! It must be really expensive!"Margaret was just like a

    Francine felt that, since she had humbled herself considerably to make this suggestion, Renee would surely be grateful and agree to it.After all, not long ago, she would do anything just to remain in the Hunt family...Renee did not respond. She merely laughed so hard that she had tears in her eyes.She never knew that the high and mighty Francine Milford had so much talent as a comedian. Renee simply could not stop laughing!Francine was a bit unhappy. She finally could not keep up the pretense anymore. Her tone was impolite as she asked, "Why are you laughing? Give me an answer! Let me tell you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, it's gone. Don't be ungrateful!"Renee fought back the laughter. Her curved eyes gradually turned cold. She replied equally impolitely, “Madam Francine, I thought I'd made it clear to you. I never thought of going back after I dumped your son. Even if your son kneels and begs me, the possibility is still zero. And I sure as hell

    Renee could never have imagined that, one day, her ex-mother-in-law and her nanny would be on the same side, scheming to make her get back together with her scumbag ex-husband.Renee could not stand it anymore. She went to the kitchen and brought out a lemon pie to relieve her craving.As soon as the pie was placed on the table, the fragrance spread. Francine could smell it too."That smells good! Did you make that?"Francine could not help being attracted to the smell.She went to the dining room and was surprised to see the lemon pie on the dining table."Do you want a piece?"Renee had already cut a piece for herself and was ready to dig in.She had been craving sour food lately due to her pregnancy. She could not wait to start eating.Francine looked apprehensive, but she took a piece anyway.After taking a bite, her eyes immediately tripled in size."Did... did you really make this? It's so good!"She no longer cared that she was a lady of a rich family. She could hard

    "Your daughter-in-law?"A playful expression crept onto Haze's handsome face.So the well-dressed woman in front of him was Francine Milford, Renee's former mother-in-law."As far as I know, Ms. Everheart is currently single. It's a bit inappropriate for you to claim to be her mother-in-law like this.""What do you know?"Francine raised her chin high and said, "If she's my daughter-in-law for a day, she's my daughter-in-law for a lifetime. Until the day she remarries, no one can replace my position as the “mother-in-law”."Haze put his hands in his pockets and chuckled. “In that case, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. I'm actually here to take Ms. Everheart to meet my parents. If everything goes well, she'll have a new mother-in-law soon."Francine already had an impending sense of crisis before this, but after hearing what Haze said, the sense of crisis became even stronger. She immediately interrogated him, "Who are you? Who are your parents? What's your relationship with Re

    "I'm sorry!" Renee blurted—she realized her selfishness."I admit that I took you as a substitute. I wanted to get out of that suffering relationship, and I didn't care about your feelings. I'm so sorry."At first, she wanted to forget Stefan and start a new relationship. And then, Justin risked his life to save her. On top of that, they were compatible in various aspects. She felt that she could spend the rest of her life with him.However, Renee realized that her actions were purely self-serving. She never considered Justin's feelings or asked about his willingness. She merely took him as a convenient tool. "No, you did nothing wrong," Justin said. "You have your choices. Likewise, I have my choices too."He stared at Renee passionately, his teary eyes filled with pain, and held her hand. "I chose you. I want to stay with you while you're trying to forget about him. I want you to be happy with me.""You…" Renee looked into Justin's eyes. His generosity, firmness, and thoug

    "Mmph!" Renee was sitting beside the window, watching the floating clouds up in the sky when a sudden pain gripped her heart—as if it was clenched tight. "What's wrong?" Justin asked nervously. Sitting across from her, he could feel something wrong with her. "I'm fine." Renee shook her head and tried to soothe her stuffy chest. "My heart suddenly hurt just now. I guess it's because of the sudden weightlessness when the plane took off."Justin sighed in relief. "I've heard that some people might get dizzy or feel their ears ring because of weightlessness, but I've never heard of hearts aching.""It's fine. It's something rare, I guess. I'll feel better after a while." Renee waved his concerns away, taking a deep breath. She picked up the cup in front of her and sipped some water, and felt better. Perhaps the water had cooled her heart. However, Justin felt a little uneasy. He knew her heart wasn't his though their destination was the same."If you can't forget about him, yo

    Stefan got involved with Briar. At the same time, something seemed to be wrong with Renee and she insisted on meeting Justin's parents. In short, they were lying to themselves.Xavier found it ridiculous that they would break up and date someone else, when in truth they loved each other passionately and had gone through so much together. They were just cowards who refused to face their problems head-on."Well said! I agree." For the first time, Leia and Xavier shared the same thoughts on the issues related to love. Aside from Stefan and Renee, there were many similar examples. Leia was convinced Liam was doing the same thing. She couldn't understand why they had to hurt themselves like that. It would be better to make peace.Suddenly, Xavier turned around and looked at Leia passionately, and declared with utmost seriousness, "So, we can't do that!" Having his face so close to hers so suddenly, Leia's heartbeat quickened. She pursed her lips and stood up shyly. "You're nuts

    Justin walked over and tapped his wristwatch. "It's almost time. Let's go.""Okay." Renee nodded, then said to Leia, "Just go home and take good care of Liam. Tell my brother and kids that I'm fine. I'll be back at Beach City soon.""Uh…" Leia wanted to stop Renee from going to Beach City, but she couldn't find a reason to make Renee refuse. Of course, Renee had to stop the program which never responded."Fine. Take care. Call me immediately if anything happens!" Leia, enlightened, decided to respect Renee's choices. She hugged Renee and sobbed, "I hope you'll pick happiness no matter who you choose to be with!""Of course. I want you to do the same." Renee hugged Leia firmly.Then, she got into the small private plane bound for North City with Justin."She left…" Xavier muttered. He watched the plane take off for North City as he sat in the lobby, feeling complicated. He felt sorry for Stefan, but at the same time, he felt that Stefan had brought it upon himself. Being on

    However, Leia didn't believe that Renee would have given up on Stefan. Based on their night chats a while ago, she could tell from Renee's tone that the latter was still confused about Stefan and couldn't part with him.It wasn't long ago, but now, Renee wanted to marry someone else. It was abnormal."Yes, I did…" Renee coldly looked ahead and added, "I did just now.""What?" Leia's eyes went wide, and she didn't stop questioning Renee. "What happened just now? Nothing happened!""Let me be frank with you." Renee decided to be honest with Leia since Leia insisted on getting to the bottom of it. "Justin told me something the night he saved us. Stefan informed him and asked him to come to our rescue.""I know that. And then?"Leia had heard the same story from Justin. She and Liam kept cursing Stefan for being a dirty coward all night long. It was infuriating. Stefan didn't try to save his beloved woman, but made his rival in love do so instead. It seemed he had given up his belo

    "What? You're going to meet his parents?" Leia cried in agitation when she heard that. She glared at Justin, then dragged Renee to the side to interrogate the latter."What's wrong with you, Ren? Why are you marrying someone else just after one night?" Leia pausing, finding her words odd, then corrected herself. "Oh, no! Are you going to remarry?""Justin is a good man. His grandpa was my grandpa's old comrade. Plus, his family is nice to me. And we survived this time because of the army Grandpa Baldwin gave me. I can't be ungrateful," Renee said, her tone calm and cold.Although it was ridiculous, Austin did give Renee that army as a wedding gift. She used that gift at a critical time, which meant she had accepted the Baldwin family. Naturally, she had to take her relationship with Justin to another level. "But…" Leia frowned, feeling that Renee was being impulsive. "But you were forced to use that army under that circumstance. It wasn't because you loved Justin that drove

    Liam was an unruly rich heir who loved freedom, while Amber was a pure and ignorant young woman. It seemed they were a perfect match."Why did she suddenly give you a wedding gown? Obviously, she wants to marry you. Are you sure you don't want to say anything to her before leaving?" Xavier teased Liam, trying to sound the latter out.Everyone could tell that Amber liked Liam. Besides, it seemed like Liam also fancied Amber. If they parted ways, they might never see each other again. Their romance might end with a failure. What a pity! "There's nothing to say to her." Liam purposely looked aloof. "All I want is to get the hell out of here. I don't even want to waste another second here."Then, he strode into the airport lobby. Renee quickened her pace and walked alongside him. She looked at him, feeling sorry for him. "Are you sure you're going to leave like this?""I should long be gone." Liam kept his coldness, his tone impassive. "If I don't go now, I can't leave forever.""

    The box contained a red wedding gown with exquisite embroidered dragon and phoenix patterns. The embroidery was meticulous, making the dragon and phoenix look lifelike. With such intricate details, it would take three to five months to complete."So, she was busy with this." Liam caressed the patterns, bitterness and disappointment hitting him hard. Amber was always busy these days and couldn't be found. She also didn't talk much to him. She claimed that she wanted to sew wedding clothes for herself and Mateo. Unexpectedly, she ended up giving the wedding gown to Liam instead.There was a card at the bottom of the wedding dress. Liam opened it and read Amber's note.[Liam, I only want to be your wife my whole life…but from now on, I won't marry anyone. I want to live for myself. I hope we can meet again when we're both strong and capable!]Her handwriting wasn't neat, and her grammar was wrong. Yet it showed her shyness, pureness, and firmness.Liam clenched the wedding gown t

    "Wait, Mr. Osborne!" Hailey ran to Liam and tried her best to catch her breath. Then, she said to him, "Ms. Jenkins… Ms. Jenkins, she…""What's wrong with Amber?" Liam asked nervously. His anxious and worried expression showed that he wasn't indifferent toward her after all."Take this!" Hailey handed a plain box to Liam. "Ms. Jenkins is busy today and can't send you off. This is the gift she's been preparing for a long time. She wants you to have it.""What she's busy about? Is it troublesome?" Liam was worried about Amber. If she wanted to take over Benjamin's business, she wouldn't be able to handle it since the fort was a violent place full of fights. "It's something feminine. Please don't ask about that…" Hailey obeyed Amber's instruction and didn't explain much. She waved at Liam and added, "Take care. Don't worry too much about Ms. Jenkins. She'll be fine since she's Mr. Jenkins' only daughter.""What do you mean?" Liam held the gift with worry. "Did Benjamin find fault wi
