Chapter 1388
Quinton had realized something was amiss, and had given Renee an emergency alarm. If Reneepressed that button, the whole hospital would be alerted. Renee had initially laughed about it, notwanting to wake everyone up because of her selfish desire to eat cake, but that seemed to have givenStefan the confidence to behave recklessly.
“I just wanted to help you wipe your lips… but I won’t come tomorrow night if you think it’sinappropriate. I’ll also fire the pastry chef I poached from a top pastry shop.” Raising his brows, Stefancontinued, “He was planning to bake a hazelnut cake tomorrow…”
“No, please don’t!” Renee’s eyes lit up because she loved hazelnut cake the most. She quicklyexplained, “Don’t fire him. I’m sure it wasn’t easy for him to get the job, so let him work tomorrow but…you don’t have to wipe my lips for me. I can do it on my own.”
“Sure, I’ll think it over seeing how concerned and sincere you are,” Stefan said lightly, smiling like acunning fox.
“Ah!” Renee sighed heavily, ashamed of herself. As always, Stefan was good at analyzing people’sthoughts. He knew that she was a soft-hearted person and a foodie, and he had used that to slowlybreak down her walls, making her crave his company… He really was a devious fox!
Stefan checked the time and realized it was quite late. He stood up to leave, smiling in satisfaction likethe cat that got the cream. “Get some rest; I’ll head back to my ward now. See you again tomorrow atthe same time.”
Silent, Renee closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. Images of them kissing played on her mindconstantly, making her blush. Somehow, she had gotten entangled with Stefan again, ignoring the factthat their being together would harm each other…
She didn’t dare imagine what kind of crisis would happen next. Since everything had happened late atnight, it felt like a dream that would disappear when she woke up.
After some time had passed, Renee heard rustling again. Although she had her eyes closed, she couldfeel someone’s fierce gaze on her, making her skin prickle.
“Stefan?” She opened her eyes and stared at the dark figure in the ward, trying to turn on the light.
“There’s no need to trouble yourself, Miss Everheart. I’m only here to see you because of my master;I’ll leave in a while.” It was a woman, and her tense voice was filled with suppressed anger.
“Your master?” Renee placed her hand on the emergency alarm that Quinton had given her, preparedto press it in case this person was an enemy.
“Do you ever think about my master when you hug and kiss that heartless man? He sacrificed so muchfor you and is now in such a sorry state. His bright future was ruined, and in the end…” She couldspeak no more when she reached that point, and sobbed silently.
“Can you tell me who your master is?” Renee whispered as she put the emergency alarm down. Shecould tell from the woman’s voice that she didn’t want to harm her but just felt sorry for her master.Curious, Renee wanted to know who the woman’s master was.
“Don’t you feel like there’s someone you’ve wronged greatly and can’t forget about?” After taking adeep breath, the woman spoke again.
“Yes, I do,” Renee said with a heavy heart. “I’ve wronged many people. If there’s a chance, I want tomake it up to them because I don’t like to be indebted to others.”novelbin
“My master’s sacrifices aren’t wasted if you think so then…” The woman came forward and placed abouquet of sunflowers on the bedside cabinet. “Rest well. I’ll come to you when you’ve recovered, and
you should repay him then. I hope you’ll keep your word.”
