"Cecy didn't confess anything...

Christopher continued, "I just think, based on what I know about you, that you wouldn't be the kind of

person to do that kind of thing. One, you have no motive, and two, it's not worth it for you."

Renee snorted coldly. "Yeah. I have no motive and it's not worth it for me. You can see such obvious

things, but Stefan Hunt can't.”

"Stefan's a bit naive. He doesn't truly understand the complexity of the human heart."

"Yes, just like an idiot."

The two could not help but smile at that. A thousand words were exchanged in those smiles.

Xavier was lying on the hospital bed with one leg hanging in plaster, unable to move. He was in a

terrible state and was extremely agitated.

When he saw Christopher and Renee walk into his ward, he called out at them like a drowning man

clutching at a straw, "Thank god you two are here. Hurry up and get me out of here. This place is like a

prison. I can't stay here for a minute longer."

Christopher frowned and said seriously, "You broke your leg. Can you calm down for a bit?"

"I can't!"

Xavier banged his arm on the side of the bed as he complained, "I have strangers helping me eat,

drink, shower and pee. It's embarrassing. The most annoying thing is, I wanted to play a video game,

but the nurse wouldn't even let me do that. You call this living?”

"This won't do. I have to get out of the hospital. No one can stop me!”

"But..."

Christopher was worried.

He knew Xavier. Xavier was really stubborn. Once he decided to do something, no one could stop him.

"Don’t you dare move!"

Renee suddenly shouted.

Xavier was like a brat who was throwing a tantrum, but he instantly calmed down and looked at Renee

with a stunned face.

Renee slowly poured a glass of water and said, “You're an adult, for god's sake. If you don't want

strangers to take care of you, I'll do it.”

After saying that, Renee moved the glass close to Xavier’s lips and said gently but forcefully, "Come,

have some water. Your lips are a bit dry."

Xavier gave Renee a complicated look, but his lips did not move. The atmosphere in the ward was

tense.

Christopher wiped away sweat from his forehead.

After all, he knew the two of them had always been at odds. If they started fighting, it would be like a

world war.

"Umm..."

He was about to act as a mediator when something incredible happened.

Xavier lowered his head obediently and took a sip of water. He then said earnestly, "Thank you. I was

really thirsty."

Renee looked down at Xavier like a queen, “Are you still gonna make a scene?"

"No."

"Do you still want to leave the hospital?"

"No."

"Very good."

Renee nodded and told the timid nurse outside the door, "Didn't you say you're going to give him an

anti-inflammatory injection? You can do it now."

For some strange reason, Xavier, who was screaming about leaving the hospital and refusing to let the

nurse give him the injection a moment ago, was suddenly behaving himself. He let the nurse do

whatever she had to do without a word of complaint.

Christopher looked like he was witnessing a miracle. He was so stunned that he could not speak for a

long time.

He asked Renee in a whisper, ”How did you do that? This guy's a notorious brat. He listens to no one

but his father. Why is he suddenly so well behaved?"

Renee gave him a faint smile and flicked her hair smugly. “It's probably because of my charisma."

After the nurse changed Xavier's medication, she left the ward.

Renee turned to Xavier and said, "If you have nothing to do, then just rest."
