Chapter 298
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Christopher and Xavier immediately stopped talking, both looking guilty.
âBro, why didnât you knock before you come in? Thatâs really rude! 11 Stefanâs handsome face was expressionless, like an iceberg. He walked up to Xavier, knocked on the hung up plastered foot, and asked, âDoes it still hurt?â
Xavierâs face immediately crumpled as he cried out in pain, âOuch, ouch, ouch! Bro, are you trying to kill me? I sacrificed my life to save your ex-wife. Is this how you repay me?â
âYou seem to be in high spirits. Looks like youâre completely fine. In that case, stop telling everybody that you saved her.â
Stefanâs voice was cold, as if he did not want to accept the fact that Xavier had saved Reneeâs life.
After all, the status of life savior carried a lot of weight. In ancient times, the rescued victim may even repay the savior with personal favors. Stefan felt very unhappy thinking about it.
âThatâs right!â
Christopher chimed in, âThis brat even wants her to take care of his everyday needs. Heâs shameless.â
âTake care of his everyday needs?â
Stefan narrowed his eyes slightly, pondering the meaning of that comment.
Right then, Renee pushed the door open and came in with a steaming hot bowl of yam and pork ribs congee. She said warmly, â Xavier, get up. I brought you supper. Yam and pork ribs congee will help your wounds heal. Iâll feed you.â
Renee only realized that Stefan and Christopher were both in the ward after she walked in. She felt embarrassed.
âYou⦠Why are you guys here?â
Stefan glanced at the congee and snorted. âIsnât it normal for us to be here? But you⦠You brought him a bowl of congee in the middle of the night. How very considerate of you!â
Renee thought Stefan must be looking to argue with her again. She just rolled her eyes, walked around him, and didnât bother to talk to him at all.
She sat down on the edge of the bed, scooped the congee with a spoon, blew on the spoonful of congee carefully, and extended it to Xavierâs mouth. âWhat are you waiting for? Open your mouth. The nurse said you can consume some liquid food now that the anesthetic has passed.â
11 j 11 Xavier wanted to open his mouth.
Because he was actually really hungry.
However, when his eyes came into contact with Stefanâs death stare, he dared not even breathe, let alone open his mouth.
âWhatâs the matter? I said Iâll take care of your daily needs, and you agreed to listen to me.â
Renee looked like an old mother educating her rebellious son. She said with a stern expression, âOpen your mouth. You must finish this bowl of congee no matter what.â
âYouâ¦â
Xavierâs mouth was half open. He was in quite the dilemma.
Both Renee and Stefan were people he did not dare to offend. He was caught in the middle!
But the congee looked so delicious. He was so hungry. Reneeâs attitude was so sincere. Xavier finally decided to open his mouth and eat the congee.
Stefan said coldly, âYou have a broken leg, not a broken hand. Why canât you eat it yourself?â
Renee was very upset when she heard this and retorted, âAre you cold-blooded? And you call yourself his brother? He recently escaped the jaws of death with a broken leg. Whatâs wrong if I feed him?â
Stefan remained silent for a moment, then said disdainfully, âIn that case, let me feed him.â
He took the congee from Renee, stiffly scooped a spoonful, and brought it to Xavierâs mouth. âEat this!â
âCough!â
Xavier was flabbergasted. He was obviously unwilling. âI donât think this is necessary.â
âSo she can feed you, but I canât?â
Stefan said coldly, âIâve thought about it. As your bro, I should also do something for you. From now on, Iâll take care of your daily needs.â
âNo, you donât have to! Really!â
