Chapter: 1436

�No way!� Renee quickly denied. �I just thought he looked very pitiful when he couldn�t eat or sleep because his fiance got into an accident. Since we�re from Aeos, I intended to give him a taste of home, to increase his appetite, you know?�

�Is that so�� The nurse nodded gently. �Right, what would Van do if you had a crush on him? Mr. Hunt has everything, but Van only has you. He�d be devastated if you leave.�

�That�s why I won�t be leaving him.� Renee smiled softly as if trying to convince both the nurse and herself. �I have to go see Van now, or he might throw another tantrum.�

Renee then stood up and stubbed out her cigarette, her slender figure disappearing into the dark�

Stefan, on the other hand, waited for an entire day but never received the bowl of dumplings he longed for. He was still able to endure the wait when he realized that the dumplings hadn�t arrived in the afternoon.

However, as supper time arrived, he just couldn�t believe that none had been delivered to him. The man was losing patience.

�What happened? Why are there no dumplings today?� Stefan stopped and questioned the patrolling nurse while Seraphina was resting.

�W� Well�� The nurse rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly. �They stopped serving it. Why don�t you check out our other offerings, Mr. Hunt? We have steak, hamburgers, spaghetti��

�I don�t want any of that. I just want dumplings, seafood dumplings.� Stefan completely shed his image as a CEO and started demanding for his food like a child.

The nurse was speechless. �Please don�t tell me you haven�t eaten for the whole day.�

�Exactly. I�ve been waiting for the entire day! I�m starving!� Stefan confessed. After all, if he couldn�t have his favorite dish, other foods could never be substitutes� And he was not a man who would settle for second.

�Then, hold on, I�ll go ask the food court for you.� The nurse agreed for now, worried that the stubborn man might put his health at risk.

�Okay, I�ll be waiting. Remember, my life is in your hands,� Stefan said with a serious face.

As he had finally headed back into Seraphina�s ward, the nurse sighed in relief and rushed to Jovan�sward, which was on the same floor.

�Joan, can you come out for a bit? I have something I need to discuss.� The nurse stood at the doorway and gestured towards her.

Renee had just finished massaging Jovan at the time, so she turned to him and said, �It�s getting late. You should get some rest.�

�Mhm, good night, my dear,� Jovan replied sweetly and happily went to bed.

Renee walked out and closed the door behind her, looking towards the nurse in confusion. �What is it this time?�

�What else? It�s the seafood dumplings again!� The nurse made a diss at how childish Stefan seemed, then shrugged. �What do we do now? Mr. Hunt is a grown man, but he�s threatening me with starvation! Should we give it to him?�

�Has he really not eaten the whole day?�

�Yeah! Not just that, he hasn�t even had a single drop of water!�

�Ugh! He�s so childish!� Renee couldn�t help but wish she could scream curses at the man�s face.

�If I knew that he would be so ungrateful about it, I would�ve just left him to starve in the first place!�

After a few moments of pondering, she just couldn�t bring herself to ignore him.

�Wait here, I�ll get some for him. And tell him this is the last time. He�s not getting any more even if he starves himself!� She huffed in anger. JrNovels.com
