"What do you mean?" Quinton frowned in disdain. "Don''t liken me to that iceberg-l''m not as cruel and


    aloof as him." "But you both said the same thing!" Renee smiled tenderly, feeling loved. "I got myself


    into this mess, but you both keep ming yourselves. Like him, you look cold and fierce on the outside,


    but are actually a really warm and sensitive person." Outsiders felt that Renee was miserable because


    she was blind and poisoned, but she really wasn''t because she was loved by so many. They tried their


    best to cure her, and although the poison had spread to her entire body, she felt happy to be loved so


    genuinely.


    "If that''s the case, I need to change my opinion of him," Quinton muttered as he pulled a chair over and


    sat beside Renee. Surprisingly, he startedplimenting Stefan. "Yes, he constantly has a poker face


    on, and he seems world-weary and difficult, but he''s sincere towards you. Back then, I wouldn''t have


    believed him if he said he would die for you... but now I would. He really would give up his life for you!"


    Stefan had dived into such a deep part of the sea with just an oxygen tank, and had entered the heart-


    shaped cave that had a ny percent mortality rate on his own. He had done all of that just to find a


    pearl that might not even exist, so Quinton couldn''t doubt his sincerity.


    Renee realized something was amiss, and asked nervously, ’’What do you mean, Quinton? Did you...


    bump into him?" Quinton had gone to the South Sea to look for Chase and the lost treasures, and


    coincidentally, that was where the Southern Oceanic stone was supposed to be. It would make sense


    that Quinton had bumped into Stefan there.


    "Yeah, I did." Quinton nodded. "I didn''t expect to see him in that small fisherman vige. He was


    drenched and pale, and his lips had turned blue because he had almost suffocated. He wasn''t even


    breathing when we found him, and everyone thought that he couldn''t be saved... But even in that


    condition, he still hugged that shell fiercely. No one could take it from him." "What?" Renee''s eyes were


    wide in shock, and her heart pounded fearfully in her chest.


    "He was lucky-l''m experienced in sailing and knew a bit of first aid, so I saved him and repaid him for


    getting Dr. Wagner to cure me," Quinton exined arrogantly, trying to sound casual but his body grew


    tense as he recalled that day. Quinton was usually quite arrogant and self-absorbed, and rarely


    approved of anyone, but he sincerely felt that Stefan was a tough man.

    It was rather ironic that the man Quinton had hated and fought against almost all his life was the only


    man he approved of now.


    "Where is he then? I can''t get in touch with him..."
