Chapter 985

Author: Mizuki Sei
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

    "William?" When Renee saw him, she was shell-shocked. She thought that such a scumbag like him should disappear from Leia's world. Unexpectedly, he'd be so bold to appear again. When Renee recalled Lei's bad deeds, she was fuming with anger. So, she grabbed his collar. "You're still alive? Why do you pester Lei again? If you're courting death, let me help you!" "Ms. Everheart, I know that you have powerful means. You can kill anyone you want. I'm not the first, nor will I be the last. Go ahead if it makes Lei happy!" William closed his eyes and said with a profound meaning. Renee was confused. She tightened her grasp and frowned deeply. At the same time, she glared at the man in front of her as though he was asking for death. "What do you mean? Why do you make me sound so ruthless and bloodthirsty? Why claim that you won't be the first nor the last one?" William was strangled by her grasp around his collar, so he found it hard to breathe. As a result, his face flushed. He

    "Have you heard of a saying? The only two things that one needs to forget about a person are time and a new lover..." Leia's gaze became distant as she said slowly, "I traveled around the world during this period to meet different people and gain new experiences. I want them to heal me."At first, it was ineffective. But God made me bump into Xavier on Quartz Island. He isn't my new lover, but he's indeed like a lifeguard. He pulled me out of the deep sea so I could crawl out of the hurt William had caused me. But now it seems like... I've fallen into a deeper abyss." When Renee saw her downcast look, she felt very sorry for Leia. "You should try to seek his heart if you truly like him. I think he must be troubled by some rancor, so he's so hesitant and awkward. He isn't bold enough to get closer to you. He may be in some kind of abyss too, and he needs you to pull him out." "His rancor..." Leia looked at Renee and smiled with a profound meaning. "Maybe it's you?" "Leia, don

    William pat Renee on the shoulder after seeing her panicked reaction. "Don't worry. You're Leia's friend. She'd be upset if something were to happen to you, so I won't run my mouth either."Renee seemed conflicted, taking a deep breath as she looked toward the man. "You have to promise you won't tell a single soul, and I mean it. I know I did something bad, but I want to wait till the right time to put an end to it all.""Ms. Everheart, you don't have to tell me anything. I don't think you're wrong at all. Briar deserved it! Let's just pretend none of this ever happened. We'll bring this secret to our graves," William said coldly and resolutely.The woman didn't doubt William's words at all. A frosty expression like that indicated that his love had completely run cold. However, she just couldn't understand how people could behave so indifferently after they've had a change of heart.She knew just how much William used to love Briar after all. He was even willing to trick Leia just

    Despite that, Renee had no choice but to meet with Briar, all for Leia's sake."I was actually pretty shocked at the state she was in. Her hair was a mess, and she looked malnourished. And I felt sorry for her…" Renee balled her fists up, a lump rising in her throat. She was inexplicably upset."That's nothing but a facade. That woman is used to acting fragile to gain sympathy. She's actually an evil sociopath deep down. I thought I could fix her if I showed her some genuine love, but… she dragged me down to her level instead!""Hah, you sure are quick to shift all the blame to her. You men are the same. You're just mad because you couldn't handle her.""Looks like Briar is a pitiful woman after all. To think the man who claimed to love her with everything he's got abandoned her in the end regardless." Renee shook her head, sighing.Due to their similar experiences with men, Renee somehow empathized with Briar at some point in time, despite being rivals."She used my tape with Le

    Renee returned to the Carmine Pawnshop after destroying the tape thoroughly. She headed to bed with a heavy heart.She was especially restless for the entire night, with several dreams popping in her head during her slumber.In her dreams, Briar crawled out of the sea with messy hair, with her limbs dislocated and her bones penetrating through her flesh. She then cackled eerily, her face completely drenched in blood."Hahaha, Renee Everheart, your days are numbered… I may not have been able to compete against you when I was alive, but I can drag you down to hell with me as a ghost!" Briar screeched as her bloodied face inched closer to Renee, to the point she seemed to be hovering right above her.The suffocating pain consumed the woman's chest. She flung her arms around in panic, screaming, "No! Don't come near me!""Ms. Ren! Ms. Ren! Wake up! The sun is up!" Margaret worriedly held her hand, sitting by her bed. "Argh!" Renee felt like she was pulled out of an abyss as her eyes

    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

    A week later, Renee recovered because she listened to the doctor and underwent treatment. She could be discharged from the hospital.In the meantime, Stefan stayed outside the ward and did not enter the ward.On the contrary, Jovan kept entering the ward from time to time. Renee would either scold or drive him away. Stefan entered the ward on the day Renee was leaving the hospital. He quietly helped Renee pack up her things. Generally, a caretaker could do that. However, Stefan acted like he wanted to repent and felt better when he took it upon himself. "Do you still need this?" Stefan pointed at a Lotso bear toy at the head of the bed and asked Renee calmly.During the one-week hospitalization, Renee got bored. Stefan would give her some blind boxes as entertainment. Renee found Rubik's cubes, stickers, and keychains when she opened the boxes. She would always throw them away because she was not interested in them. When she unpacked a rather large Lotso bear toy, she became

    Jovan had kidnapped Renee, but he risked his life for her though he appeared like a cunning and selfish man. Renee felt that she did not deserve his love. She had wronged both Jovan and Justin, but she could not love them back. On the other hand, the one she wanted to love kept pushing her away cruelly…She slapped herself fiercely. Her action frightened the nurse. "Ms. Everheart, we can talk things out! Why did you hurt yourself? You can't…" "Don't worry. I'll get better and won't harm myself again." Renee was teary and laughed at herself. "I slapped myself because I recalled the things I'd done. I was very stupid, and I wanted to knock some sense into myself." "Okay, I'm glad to hear that." The nurse heaved a sigh of relief, but she was afraid to see Renee keep acting crazily. After she was done bandaging Renee's wound, she left hurriedly.When Stefan saw the nurse exit the ward, he walked in nervously and inquired about Renee. "How she's doing?" "She's already feeling be

    Having said that, Justin turned to leave. He knew that if he stayed, he would only look more of a fool. "Tsk! What a pity!" Jovan watched him leave, shrugging and sighing. "He's sincere and loyal. Too bad he pales in comparison to the scumbag!""Get out!" Renee was overcome with sadness and pushed Jovan away fiercely. "Get out! I don't want to see anyone!" Knowing that she had harmed Justin again, she was filled with guilt. She just wanted to be left alone."Rest well. I'll be with you until you're recovered and discharged from the hospital," Stefan said calmly before exiting the ward.In a while, a nurse came to tend to the bandages that Renee had removed. She advised Renee, "Ms. Everheart, you have to be careful. You're weak now. You can't get angry, or it might be life-threatening.""I don't care. My life is so messy, I'd rather die."Thinking of the recent events and the men around her, a severe headache hit her. She wanted to keep being unconscious."Please don't say tha

    "Do you still want to marry me?" Justin asked Renee."I…" Renee could talk nonsense with Jovan, but she couldn't joke with Justin. She had harmed him many times and couldn't keep hurting him. Honestly, she didn't want to marry him or anyone else. She did not want to rely on anyone. She knew she could rely on a man and lead a steady life if there was love. But without love, it would be very hard to rely on a man.However, she knew that Justin liked her and wanted to marry her. If she promised to marry him, the impulsive Jovan would get the staff of the City Hall here. If she turned Justin down at that time, she would harm him again."Fine. You don't have to feel stressed. I know the answer." Justin was no fool. Renee's hesitation told him what she wanted. "When I begged you to marry me, you forced yourself to say yes. You just wanted to repay me for saving your life.""No, you're wrong!" Seeing Justin hurt pained her more than when she was hurt. She hurriedly explained, "I reall

    "What is it?" Renee looked at Justin curiously.Renee, Stefan, and Jovan were curious about what was on Justin's mind."If my family starts fighting the Hunt family, which side will you take?" Justin went straight to the point. He had been curious about that as he made wild guesses about Renee's mind. Since Renee was right before him, he wanted to get the answer from her before he could give up."Hmph! I thought it was something serious. Why did you make it sound that serious…" Jovan burst into laughter, finding Justin a loyal man. "Isn't that obvious? If she wants to take your side, you guys would be married by now. There wouldn't be so many shitty things either!""Shut up, Jovan!" Renee glared at Jovan. If she was stronger, she would beat him up. She said coldly, "Did you forget how you took me away?""Yes, I used some cunning means to take you away, but let's be frank. If I didn't come that day, would you marry him?"Jovan had long gotten used to Renee's fierceness. On the c

    Similarly, Renee used an iron wire to cut her wrist just to meet Stefan."Am I right? You did so many things just to see him. Now you finally met him. Are you happy and satisfied now? But you look worse than before." Jovan teased Renee. He found her pitiful, but at the same time, he felt that it served her right. It seemed everybody was a joke in their romance with others. Only those who never loved could be at the top of the food chain. They would laugh at those who gave up their hearts to others and could not understand those people's bizarre actions."Stop gloating. It's none of your business! Let go of me, or I'll make you feel sorry for yourself."Renee had just escaped death and was weak. Had it not been for that, Jovan wouldn't be able to stop her or watch her make a fool of herself. Still, she would be fine with losing blood again just to torment him if he kept on talking nonsense. Then, he would watch his tongue."Tell me, Phoenix. Is he telling the truth?" Justin

    The loud noises in the ward naturally alerted Justin and Jovan."What's going on?" Justin became very nervous and kicked the door of the ward open. He saw that Renee had woken up and was crazily tearing at the bandages."Uh…" Justin was struck dumb. He had thought of the possibility of Stefan waking Renee up, but he did not expect it to be that effective. Renee ended up becoming a maniac who had lost control of herself. "You're awake?" Jovan was stunned too. He instantly understood the whole incident and gave Renee a thumbs-up. "You're great!"Renee looked coldly at them and ordered them, "Get out, you two! I haven't settled things with him!" Although she was fine with the way they regarded her, she did not want them to see her as a maniac. Besides, their presence would affect her and stop her from being crazy."I won't get out."Jovan turned Renee down. He rushed over and hugged her, stopping her from hurting herself."What are you doing? Let go of me!"Renee was still ha

    After a long pause, Stefan finally admitted honestly, "That wasn't a lie." He turned to look at Renee. He knew what he had to do, and heaved a long sigh."But life isn't just about love.""Why not?" Renee became teary as she stared at him like a child who failed to get what she wanted. "To me, that's already enough. As long as we love each other, we can conquer everything. Without love, it'll be hopeless.""If loving each other is already enough, there wouldn't be the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. Didn't they love each other deeply? They loved each other a lot, but they ended up dead!" Stefan shot back.He could not stop himself from getting impulsive. Heartbroken, he turned around to look into Renee's eyes. "Compared to love, I'd rather you lead a steady and happy life. But I'm not the one who can give you that. I'll only bring you pain and death!""Romeo and Juliet?" Renee found that preposterous and bizarre. "What a lousy excuse! Did I kill your parents, or did you kill my p
