Stefan watched Owen leave the study with a frown, then nced at the stack of thick medical reports
on the floor. Anxiety gripped him, and after a brief hesitation, he bent over to pick them up. He scanned
through the documents. Although there were many medical terms, he could understand some of them.
It was reported that the fetus had stopped developing, and Renee had a painless miscarriage. She was
also suffering from heavy metal poisoning and nerve damage. Stefan''s face became deathly pale and
his mouth went dry. 1
"What... How?" Stefan couldn''t believe his eyes. His hands were trembling, and his eyes turned
bloodshot.
Xavier was upset by Stefan''s usations, and had secretly decided he wouldn''t be his friend anymore,
but when he saw Stefan''s reaction, he felt worried. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and barked,
"Hey, what''s going on? Is it good news or bad news?" 1
However, Stefan looked like he hadn''t even heard Xavier. The reports fell from his hands, and he kept

mind.
"Stefan, what''s the matter?" Xavier had never seen Stefan like this before, and quickly picked up the

reports. "What? Painless miscarriage? Poisoning? " Xavier swallowed and read the reports in disbelief.
"Are these Renee''s?" He wanted confirmation from Stefan, but he was already walking away.
Stefan''s steps were heavy and brisk, and he arrived at Renee''s bedroom quickly. He happened to
bump into Shirley, who had just exited Renee''s bedroom.
Shirley was very upset, and purposely tried to provoke Leia, who was waiting at the door. "Do you
know what I talked about with Ms. Everheart?"
Leia narrowed her eyes. "I don''t, but just know that I''ll make you suffer if you upset her."
"Your bestie is a loving person. She taught me how to win Xavier back and told me a lot of Xavier''s
secrets. Maybe even you don''t know those secrets. She hopes to see me get back with Xavier..."
"So, what? I also hope you can. Maybe then you''ll stop pestering me and ruining my mood."
"How generous! Your bestie pushed your beloved man to me. Arent you mad at her?"
"Stop trying to sow discord. If Ren did push Xavier to you, it was because she felt that Xavier wasn’t
nice, meaning he''s not suitable for me. You, however, are getting so excited over it!"
"You... How dare you..." Shirley became angry when she realized her n hadn''t worked, and tried to
think of other ways to start a fight with Leia. 5 "Get out of my way!"
