Chapter 1641Chapter 1641
Stefan smacked away Xavier's hand coldly and glared at Xavier and Owen fiercely. “Is this all an act so
Shirley doesn't have to give up her eyes?"
"Are you kidding me?" Xavier huffed exasperatedly. He had always admired Stefan, but now he found
him shameless and insensible, attacking everyone without reason. "I know I can be a jerk sometimes,
but even I won't go that far. Why would I ask Shirley to come here to take the test then? You're not
thinking straight!"
Owen quickly chimed in, "And I'm just a doctor. I don't want to meddle in anyone's relationship. If it's a
match, I would have told you. There's no need for me to pretend."
Stefan closed his eyes and covered his face, looking troubled. He felt like he had lost the courage to
face the world... and Renee. "What should I do? What about... Ren?" Stefan asked hoarsely. When
things were dire, he was optimistic because he felt things would definitely get better. However, having
his hope snatched away was too painful. He had thought that everything would go smoothly after he
found Shirley. He'd even planned how they'd celebrate the return of Renee's eyesight. He'd wanted the
family of four to go to Sun Island, and imagined them leading a carefree and happy life there away from
the world. 1
Unexpectedly, his fantasy had been torn apart in a matter of hours.
"Don't worry, I'll think of something. Plus... the most urgent thing now probably isn't Ms. Everheart's
eyes." Owen did some mental calculations and realized it had been a few days since he discovered
that Renee was suffering from heavy metal poisoning. If he still could not confirm the elements in the
poison, Renee might..."What do you mean?" Stefan looked up sharply, sensing something was wrong. He immediately asked,
"If that’s not urgent, what is?"
"Ugh..." Owen hesitated, caught in a dilemma. He had promised Renee to keep her poisoning a secret,
but the situation was dire. He needed to find the components of Renee's poison as soon as possible. If
novelbinthe treatment was delayed and something happened to Renee, he wouldn't be able to handle that guilt.
"Spit it out! Is there something else you're hiding from me, like her surgery today?" Stefan snarled, and
grabbed Owen by the collar of his shirt. His voice was icy as he threatened, "I keep nothing from you
because I consider you a close friend, and I hope you'll do the same for me. After all, my wife is a
patient. She has a lot of things going on right now, and it's tough for her to make decisions. I'm the one
who has to bear responsibility for everything."
"You're right. You're the only one who can be responsible for all consequences at this point." Owen
heaved a long sigh and decided to break his promise to Renee. He fished out all of Renee's medical
reports, including the report that showed the baby had developed into a fetus, then dropped the reports
on the floor. "Hmm, that's weird. Where's the report? I must have left it at home."
After that, he left the study quietly.
