Chapter 980

Author: Mizuki Sei
Renee felt nervous when she turned around and spotted Leia. "Lei, when did you get here? Why didn't you say something?"

"I've been here for a while. It looked like you both were having a good chat, so I didn't have the heart to interrupt." Leia slowly approached them, her tone indifferent and cold.

'Darn!' Renee knitted her eyebrows. She did not expect that Leia would overhear her conversation with Xavier.

As someone with high self-esteem, Lei must be very hurt!

"Don't listen to his crap, Lei. He is just speaking casually. He is not such a person, he…" Renee anxiously tried to make excuses for Xavier, but then realized that the man's words were simply unforgivable.

"You don't have to defend me, darling, I am that kind of person. It's good for Lei to know this early so that she will give up on her unrealistic fantasies." Xavier put his hands in his pockets. The corners of his lips curved upwards, and his gaze was carefree and charming.

Leia looked at the man coldly and said disdai

    "Eh, well…" Renee tried to join their conversation but found that they were too engrossed in their conversation. She had no chance to get a word in. Hence, she decided to leave first. "I'll leave you to your chat. Bye." When she was back in the dining room, Quinton had almost finished cooking. He was now enthusiastically arranging the dishes on the table. "Sis, you're home. You're just in time for the meal. Where's Xavier and Lei?" "They're still chatting." "What are they talking about? They're so engrossed in it." "Er, they're discussing how to gain my heart." Renee became quite helpless. While arranging the dishes, Quinton's hands stiffened briefly. He asked tentatively, "What do you think of Xavier?" "Although he's not very serious, he's a good man. He even saved my life." "That's good. You can consider him." "Oh, please. Quinton, why do you behave like Lei? Why do you keep setting me up with some random guy? Didn't you promise to take care of me for the rest

    The dinner was indeed quite chaotic. It was as if Cupid had gotten drunk, and it began to arbitrarily set up couples. Both Quinton and Leia hinted at Xavier ceaselessly to please Renee, but Renee gave Xavier endless chances to please Leia. Xavier claimed that he wanted to pursue Renee, but his focus was all on Leia. He peeled prawns for her repeatedly. After that, he started peeling crabs for her. Hence, there was so much food on her plate that she could not finish it…"Okay, stop peeling. I'm already full." Smiling awkwardly, Leia stopped Xavier from peeling more prawns for her. After that, she lowered her voice and said, "Are you done using me? You should chat with Ren and serve her food. Have you forgotten what I just taught you? She's leaving the table if you don't act now." "So you do dislike me indeed. Didn't I peel the prawns and crabs nicely? I'll change, okay?" Xavier behaved like a feeble person and looked at her pitifully. Leia was dumbfounded. "Ahem, well, I'

    "But you're also awesome, pretty, and unique. Why can't you feel my fondness for you?" "Why, you…" Leia's calmness was fluttered by him. Consequently, she blushed faintly. It might be because she had some wine, or it might be because of the romantic night. When she looked up at him, her clear eyes were watery and eager. "Tell me. Do you like me?" That was the first time she asked him that question directly. There seemed to be a tinge of ambiguity between them in the past. She seemed to have received some hints from him, but she did not dare to confirm it. Afraid that she would be misunderstood, she never dared to ask him that. After what happened tonight, she was indeed quite annoyed by that kind of endless ambiguity. She had no right to take a step forward in their relationship, but she was afraid of having regrets if she retreated…"I…" It might be beyond Xavier's imagination that Leia would take the initiative to lay everything on the table, given her abnormally hig

    "Lei, what's the matter with you?" Xavier noticed something wrong with Leia, so he quickly ran over and inquired about it. "I'm… fine. It's none of your business!" She covered her belly and pushed him away, trying to act strong. However, the excruciating pain was killing her. She was in so much pain that she almost burst into tears. "Stop being stubborn. You don't seem fine at all. And your face… your face…" Xavier could not help but swallow slightly while looking at her face. He was flabbergasted. "What's wrong with my face?" "No, nothing." Xavier tried to help her up again. "We'd better get to the hospital now. I'm afraid something bad might happen if we delay this." "You're lying. There must be something wrong with my face." She was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat, and she could not even stand steadily. She let Xavier support her before she took out her phone and checked her appearance. After that, she cried out involuntarily."Ah!" She sa

    It was not humiliating to step on shit, but it would be the most humiliating ever to bump into one's ex while stepping on shit. At that moment, given her swollen face, she seemed to be in a sorrier state than stepping on shit. She did not want William to see that. "Lei, stop hiding. I know it's you." William deeply cherished this rare chance to meet Leia, so he sounded extremely agitated. Xavier stood between them, and he was taller and studier than William. His body appeared like a large mountain before William. William could not bypass Xavier no matter what he did, so he became very anxious. "Sir, please step aside. I have something to say to Lei." Helplessly, William pleaded with Xavier politely. However, Xavier took up an annoying front. He arrogantly looked over William's head. "Which midget is talking? I can't hear him." The assistant who stood beside William became angry. "Why did you say that? Dr. Jones is an expert that the hospital hired at a high cost. He's a

    Feeling slightly aggrieved, Leia glared at the man who got angry out of the blue. "I got an allergic reaction instead of you. Why did you yell at me? If I wasn't afraid that you would be embarrassed, would I have eaten so many prawns and crabs? How ungrateful of you!""You..." Xavier's anger soon subsided. Feeling guiltier, he lowered his head more and whispered to her, "Why were you so silly? I thought you liked eating them, so I kept on peeling them for you..." "You're the silly one, not me!" Leia rolled her eyes at him and complained grumpily, "You didn't have to peel them for me even if I liked eating them. I'm nobody to you. Why did you exhaust yourself so?" Xavier heaved a long sigh and shook his head. "Yes, I'm silly. I'm the silliest person in the world... You're the smartest. There's nothing you don't know." When William witnessed their ambiguous interactions, he felt rather sad. "Lei, your allergic reaction needs to be handled right away. Follow me." He bypasse

    'What's wrong with him today? Is he in a drunken fit? Why did he go berserk all of a sudden?'"Lean your head closer." William was wearing white gloves. He was ready to use professional tactics to apply anti-allergic medication for her. After calling her name several times, she seemed to have still not heard him. All her attention seemed to be attracted by the noise outside. "Oh, I'm sorry."It was only then that Leia noticed his instruction. She obediently leaned her face closer to him."This medicine is a bit stimulating, so you may feel a bit of pain when I apply it to your face. But it's highly effective, and it can help reduce the swelling rapidly. Just bear with me." William patiently introduced the medication to her, and his techniques were very gentle. "What did you say... Ah!" However, she still did not listen to him. On the other hand, she was all ears while listening to Xavier's words from outside. When she heard of something, she inevitably laughed. After tha

    Leia gave William a disdainful look and said coldly. "I don't have to inform you about my relationship with him, do I?" William appeared defeated. He even sounded slightly anxious. "Lei, don't be mad. I just feel that he's not a good man. He looks like a playboy. You'd better stay away from him so you won't get hurt." "Hmph! Even if he doesn't look like a good guy, he's better than a liar like you!"She then grabbed his collar. At the same time, her eyes were full of hatred. "It was merely because of my generosity that I let you stay alive. It doesn't mean I've let bygones be bygones and forgiven you. You'd better don't test my patience." "You can hate me or even kill me. But please don't give up on yourself and get such a man to harm you. You..." Before William could finish talking, Xavier, who was eavesdropping outside, could not remain calm. He barged into the room again. "What did you say just now? Who gave herself up? Who is a bad guy? What f*cking kind of man am I? Te

    "Can I wake her up?" Stefan seemed to be asking them and himself. He shook his head in self-hatred. "I'm afraid I'm the reason why she wants to escape this world. She must hate me to the core and refuse to see me. She might know that I'm here, so she's avoiding me and refuses to wake up."He recalled how much he had harmed her. He was not confident to wake her up, let alone face her."Yes, you're sinful, ut you must be held accountable for it!" Justin could not bother to waste his time talking to Stefan. He pushed Stefan into the ward instead. "You made her so angry, she's in a coma now. So, you have to wake her up. If she doesn't, you can't leave the ward!""Agreed!"Jovan was standing on the other side. He and Justin seemed to have formed a barrier and refused to let Stefan back down.After some contemplation, Stefan decided to face the music. He closed the ward door and quietly went to Renee's bed. It was the first time he was alone with her after a long time."You're tr

    Unsurprisingly, Renee remained irresponsive. Justin gradually grew depressed. Before, he was confident. Seeing that he was getting no response from her, his confidence waned. Undeniably, he was probably not that important to her. If not, she wouldn't remain indifferent. She would have sensed that he was around. "I got it. You don't need me." Justin smiled helplessly. He felt pathetic too. He took a deep breath and finally stood up to exit the ward."How's it going?" Stefan asked.He kept waiting outside the ward, paying close attention to it in hopes that Renee could wake up. He also felt that Justin could bring Renee wonderful things and hope. She would wake up when she sensed that Justin was calling for her. "Hmph! Isn't it obvious? Of course, he couldn't wake her up!" Jovan casually leaned against the bench in the corridor, not even looking up. He sounded vicious. "He's just a backup guy. Of course she doesn't care about him! She's not in love with him." Justin glared at J

    Stefan remained quiet as he calmly watched Renee. He extended his hand to touch her face but retrieved it before he could.She used to be the woman he was familiar with and the one he had hugged and kissed countless times, but now, he didn't even dare to touch her. "I think she doesn't even want you here. She must hate you so much and is disappointed in you. She'll be even more pressured if you stay here, and it'll push her further from this world. So please, get the hell out of here if you want the best for her!"Justin could not hold himself back from scolding Stefan. If Jovan was telling the truth, Stefan must be aware of the fact that Jovan was holding Renee hostage. Yet, he remained indifferent and feigned ignorance. He didn't even care if Renee was fine. What a cruel bastard! Justin was disappointed in Stefan. He wanted nothing more than to see what was really on Stefan's mind."Take good care of her." Stefan did not want to defend himself. He glanced at Renee, relucta

    "What did you do to her?!" Stefan interrogated Jovan coldly, his eyes teary. "She isn't the kind to kill herself! What the hell did you do to her?" "Try to wake her up if you want to know." Jovan was pale. His previous sickness, coupled with his recent blood donation to Renee, made him very weak. Despite that, he refused to stop infuriating others. "Do you think I can't do anything to you? Do you really think that?" Stefan could no longer hold himself back and strangled Jovan. "I'm going to kill you! Repent for the terrible things you've done!"He couldn't imagine the kind of thing that could force the strong and stubborn Renee to resist by using such a desperate means. "You obviously won't go easy on me! I'm sure of that!" Jovan sneered. His pale face turned flushed as he suffocated from Stefan's powerful grip. "But you'd better kill yourself first if you want to avenge her! She ended up like this because of you." "What?" Stefan's face was frosty. He strengthened his grip a

    Jovan slowly got up from the ground, looking incredibly weak. He whispered, "She lost too much blood. The doctor claimed she's out of danger, but…she hasn't woken up.""What did you say?" Stefan and Justin were bewildered. They couldn't process his words."So, she was the female college student who tried to kill herself?" Stefan said. He staggered after linking the information he had heard from a nurse with the things that Jovan had said."Stop acting dumb! You're so smart, how could you have missed that?" Jovan glared coldly stared at Stefan, scrutinizing him in disdain. "You were just too scared to face the truth and your woman! You're such a coward! You're an embarrassment to your family!""Agreed!" Justin added; he suddenly found Jovan useful, especially when the latter started insulting Stefan. It felt just right."Although I'm a fallback guy, I'm braver than you. I accept that she doesn't love me, and I'm willing to give it a try with her. And although this guy's a vill

    Stefan frowned, doubtful. He looked vigilantly at Jovan, who had collapsed on the ground. "What do you mean by this?"Jovan kept coughing and said nothing. His lips grew pale as he sneered.Justin's eyes were cold, and he held back his urge to beat up Jovan. "Hmph! Obviously, this is a scam!"He demanded condescendingly, "How dare you barge into my territory and take away my woman! Don't you fear my family and me at all?"Jovan, filled with disdain, looked at Justin as if he was a fool. "Stop talking. You don't even have the right to join this battle."To Jovan, only Stefan was qualified and powerful enough to be his enemy."How dare you say that!" Justin was infuriated. He got down on one knee and grabbed Jovan. "Your family always says nasty things! You two are the same. If we start fighting, I'll make sure to cut your tongue first!""Did I say something wrong?" Jovan sized Justin up, ridiculing Justin with mock compassion. "Don't you have any self-awareness? You're just a fal

    Stefan frowned and asked solemnly, "Aren't you a top hacker? Hack into this hospital's inpatient system. Then, we'll know where she is.""Yes, you're right." Still, Justin wanted to challenge Stefan. He said indifferently, "But you're Jovan's cousin. It's more convenient for you to make a call instead of me hacking into their system."Yes, Justin could hack into their system, but calling Jovan would be quicker. And what they needed the most was time."He and I…" Stefan sneered, flexing his fingers. "The fact we didn't kill each other is considered peaceful. He's not as obedient as you think.""You'll know by calling him."Justin had heard about the complicated internal fights of the Hunt family, but he felt that Stefan was exaggerating."Jovan is a Hunt no matter what. Plus, he's still working at Hunt Enterprise. Just call him," Justin said. "Fine." Stefan found Justin logical. His private grudges with Jovan were not important because finding Renee immediately was the most impo

    Both Stefan and Justin arrived at Grace Hospital quickly. However, Stefan suddenly stopped before he entered the hospital. He looked at Justin curiously."Let's go! It's urgent. Stop standing here!"Justin hurriedly ran. When he turned around, he found that Stefan had not caught up with him. Confused, he asked Stefan, "Something is puzzling me. Don't you want me to stop seeing her? Why did you let me come with you?" Stefan narrowed his eyes and interrogated Justin suspiciously, "Did you lie to me? Or are you plotting something?" "That's nonsense! Don't take me as you. I'm not full of schemes like you!" Justin sounded disdainful. In comparison to Stefan, Justin was not full of schemes. He also looked down upon Stefan since the latter was always vigilant.Justin answered honestly, "Yeah, I don't want you to meet her ever, but I'm sure she wants to see you if she's in danger. Yes, I hate you—but I want her to be happy." He guessed that Renee must be in a serious state since Jov

    "Uh…" After some contemplation, Elijah nodded. "I know what to do, Mr. Hunt. It looks like you can see far beyond the current situation. Just leave this to me.""Of course, the most important thing is to have fun."Stefan remained calm; he didn't feel like he had stepped over the line. He merely wanted Justin to learn about the cruelty of the world since Justin was always being protected so well. Whenever he did something wrong, he had to pay a price for it.Besides, Stefan merely did it for his aunt, who had taken the gunshot for nothing. When they reached a consensus, Justin came to meet Stefan. "Hey…" After a pause, he said with dissatisfaction and helplessness, "Would you like to go with me?"Stefan raised his brows in confusion."I mean, do you want to visit Phoenix with me?" Justin sighed. He looked naive, like a college student, as he confessed, "I found Jovan. I don't know why he's so good at countersurveillance. After exiting the emergency room, he transferred her to
