"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

"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

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

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

"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
