Chapter 1279
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Owen glanced at Stefan, then nodded. âFine, you have my word. You were willing to fish with me, so if I donât help, it would be rather ungrateful of me⦠So, whereâs the patient now? Iâll go and treat him.â
Stefan told him which hospital it was, as well as Quintonâs name.
âAlright. Letâs go back now, I think we can make it,â Owen glanced at his watch and said lightly.
âAre⦠Are you guys going back to save my brother?â Renee listened to their conversation in disbelief.
Stefan had done so much to get Owen here, but he actually had the same goal as Renee-asking Owen to cure Quinton.
But⦠why?
She had just argued with Stefan, and he and Quinton were enemies. Why would Stefan fish with a doctor just to ask him to save his enemy? Renee knew that Stefan was a petty man who fussed over everything and would take revenge on anyone who offended him⦠When did he turn into a kind person?
âYouâre overthinking.â Stefan put both hands in his pockets and scoffed arrogantly, âI didnât do this to help your brother, I just want to use him as a guinea pig. You donât have to thank me.â
âGuinea pig?â Renee appeared baffled. âWhat do you mean?â
Stefan remained silent and refused to explain.
It was Owen who smiled and said, â Donât listen to his nonsense. He said it will be a test of my medical skills. If I manage to cure your brother, I have to cure his brain afterwards. Well⦠his goal is ultimately to save your brother, but he came up with such a lame excuse for it. He simply doesnât want others to know the good things he does.â
âOwen, donât talk nonsense. Iâm not close to her and her brother, so thereâs no reason for me to help them. I only did this for myself.
âFine, you did it for yourself. Youâre a selfish scumbag!â Owen said sarcastically as he patted Stefanâs shoulder. He heard that the famous president of Hunt Group was aloof and cruel, but now he realized that it was far from the truth. Stefan was just good at pretending to be that way.
Only those patient enough to take the time to try to understand him would truly know him.
Owen looked at Renee and patted her shoulder too. âListen to me. Some men look nice but are rotten on the inside, and some men are the opposite⦠You have to be smart enough to figure it out.â
âI understand. Thank you for saving my brother,â Renee said gratefully, her eyes watery. She was still a bit unclear about how this happened, but she was very moved by it.
âWhy are you thanking me? You should thank the person whoâs hiding his kindness by pretending to be the big, bad wolf.â Owen glanced at Stefan with a smirk, obviously referring to him.
Stefan became embarrassed, and looked away. He coughed and mumbled, âYouâd better keep quiet.â
They returned to land as fast as they could, and then rushed to the hospital where Quinton was.
Immediately, Owen changed into a surgical gown and calmly started performing surgery on Quinton.
