Chapter 299
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Xavier gulped hard and quickly said, âThe hospital has professional staff that can take care of me. You guys are busy. You really donât have to do this.â
âIâm serious. You saved her, so I must do something for you to repay you. Youâre not allowed to refuse!â
Stefanâs attitude was firm. He urged, âOpen your mouth and eat the congee!â
Xavier had no choice but to give in.
Before he had finished the first spoonful, Stefan was already feeding him another. In the end, Xavier was so full that he felt like his stomach was gonna burst.
Oh god, what sin had he committed to deserve this? He saved someoneâs life and even broke his leg doing so, but he now had to be a tool in those twoâs argument. He felt like the most miserable man in the world!
When Renee saw that he had finished the congee, she immediately brought out an apple, peeled it with a knife, and handed it to him. â Having some fruit after dinner is good for digestion.â
Stefan urged again, âEat the fruit.â
Xavier:
Xavierâs internal monologue: I donât want to eat anything anymore. I just want to go home and escape this bloody place.
After eating the apple, Renee handed him a small cake. To no oneâs surprise, Stefan made sure he finished it again.
âYour face is a bit dirty. Let me help youâ¦â
Before Renee had even finished speaking, Stefan already grabbed a towel and started to âhelpâ Xavier wash his face.
In short, Stefan would not give Renee any chance to repay Xavier. He intercepted them all.
Poor Xavier. He did not even dare to move. He let Stefan wash his face and wipe his body. It felt worse than death.
Christopher watched the increasingly bizarre scene and joked, â Bro, youâre so lucky. This is probably the first time Stefan takes care of someone like this. Enjoy it!â
Xavier smiled bitterly. His expression screamed: Help me! Help me!
Renee was finally done. She walked out of the ward, and Stefan followed after her.
âStefan, if youâre unhappy with something, come at me. Stop bothering Xavier.â
When Renee saw that no one was around, she confronted Stefan.
She was upset because Stefan was clearly doing all that to get back at her and Xavier.
âHow am I bothering him?â
Stefanâs attitude was as arrogant as ever. âLike you said, heâs my bro, so I took good care of him. How was I bothering him?â
âDidnât you see how reluctant he was?â
Renee could not help mocking, âYou werenât feeding him, you were stuffing him. You werenât washing his face, you were scrubbing his face off. Is this really how youâre going to take care of him?â
âI disagree. I think I took really good care of him. I think Xavier is very satisfied. He didnât complain once.â
âComplain?â
Renee was speechless, âAs if he would dare!â
âWhy are you so concerned about Xavier? Are you really gonna give yourself to him?â
Stefan asked tentatively.
âWhat?â
Renee was perplexed. âYouâre so unreasonable. Fine, if youâre so wary of me ruining your friendâs life, Iâll stay away from him from now on. You can take care of him. Iâm not coming here anymore! â
Renee turned around and left the hospital.
Stefan remained rooted to the spot, speechless. He could not understand her line of thought.
Why would she think that he was wary of her ruining his friendâs life?
Couldnât she see that the one heâs wary of was obviously his friend?
