Female Novel
Chapter 1101
Still doubtful, Stefan intentionally headed to the hospital food court during dinner.
“I’d like some seafood dumplings,” he said to the staff through the window.
The staff was immediately confused upon hearing his order.
“Do you guys not have seafood dumplings?” Stefan asked again, emphasizing his words this time.
“No.” The staff glared at him as if he were a fool, pointing to the menu. “Everything’s on the menu.Order anything you want.”novelbin
Scanning through the piece of laminated paper, Stefan realized that it was, in fact, filled with foreigncuisine. There wasn’t a single dish originating from Aeos, let alone seafood dumplings.
‘So that nurse was lying?’
Stefan returned to the main hospital building and found the nurse who delivered those dumplings tohim every day.
“I think we need to talk.”
The nurse’s expression stiffened anxiously. “Mr. Hunt, what… what would you like to talk about?”
“You know why I’m here.”
“I don’t know. I don’t know anything at all.” The nurse shook her head, pretending to not understand.She knew exactly what Stefan wanted to talk about; he clearly wanted to know who had been givinghim those dumplings.
However, she had promised Joan that she would take this secret to the grave. She took a divine vow,and … she couldn’t possibly tell him the truth.
“C’mon, be straight with me. Where did those dumplings come from? I’ll give you a handsome reward.”Stefan placed his hands in his pockets, speaking nonchalantly as if negotiating a deal.
“No way!” The nurse shook her head. “I swore to God that I won’t tell you.”
“It’s fine! Just donate some money to Him. I’m sure He’ll forgive you.”
“Oh! What blasphemy! Please stop asking! I can’t tell you.” The nurse quickly ran off after saying aprayer.
She then found Renee, who was smoking underneath the stairwell. The nurse panicked as she said,“Hey, I finally found you! I’m so sorry, but I can’t help you anymore!”
“What’s wrong?” Renee calmly breathes out a beautiful swirl of smoke.
“Mr. Hunt and Miss Murphy are starting to feel suspicious about your dumplings, especially MissMurphy! She thinks I made them for Mr. Hunt to seduce him! So you have to either tell them the truth orstop sending him those dumplings,” the nurse sincerely advised.
“Alright then, let’s stop.” Renee accepted this nonchalantly. Since Seraphina was out of danger, theman shouldn’t be so anxious that he wouldn’t eat or sleep. Hence, the dumplings weren’t required inhis current situation anymore.
“By the way, Joan… Do you know them? What’s your relationship with them? Don’t tell me you have acrush on Mr. Hunt?” The nurse couldn’t help but pry.
“No way!” Renee quickly denied. “I just thought he looked very pitiful when he couldn’t eat or sleepbecause his fiance got into an accident. Since we’re from Aeos, I intended to give him a taste of home,to increase his appetite, you know?”
“Is that so…” The nurse nodded gently. “Right, what would Van do if you had a crush on him? Mr. Hunthas everything, but Van only has you. He’d be devastated if you leave.”
“That’s why I won’t be leaving him.” Renee smiled softly as if trying to convince both the nurse andherself. “I have to go see Van now, or he might throw another tantrum.”
