StarNovelChapter 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
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 the 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.
