Renewal Of Love

Chapter 254 Passing Out

Without letting Sam speak anymore, Kevin interrupted him and said, "Okay. I forgive you this time."

Sam left, walked ten meters, turned right, and cursed, "Go to hell, Kevin! I was helping you, and you

dare find fault with me?"

In the room, Kevin stared at Anne. His affectionate eyes made her nervous, and she kept her head

down. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Step by step, Kevin was closing in on her. This made her heart jump around like a rabbit.

Anne moved her chair a little, but Kevin took a big step and once again closed in. This happened for

some time before she finally bumped into a wall and had nowhere to go. Angry now, she said, "Kevin!

What the hell are you trying to do?"

"Sam's busy now. Eddy won't be done with his check-up till nine o'clock in the evening. So, why don't

the two of us go have a nice dinner?" Kevin suggested.

But Anne didn't want to.

"No, I'm not hungry." Yet, that statement was far from the truth. Anne was actually so hungry that her

stomach was aching and was threatening to break out.

If it weren't for Kevin, she would have already gone for dinner. But since Kevin was here, she couldn't

go. She was still resolute about not compromising with him anytime soon.

Nonetheless, her stomach decided to betray her. The moment she finished speaking, it protested with a

growl all of sudden.

"So, you are hungry," Kevin said and stared at her.

Anne had no choice as the truth was out, so she said, "Okay, let's go to dinner."

After a twenty-kilometer drive, they arrived at the Happy Restaurant.

This was a famous seafood restaurant in the A City which boasted an uncured and day fresh seafood

lineup.

However, Anne was worried. "We are so far away from the hospital. Won't we miss Eddy's check-up?"

Kevin smiled. Sam was smart and knew what he meant. Anyway, if Sam messed this up somehow, he

wouldn't forgive him that easily.

"No. Sam's too busy to finish the check-up in a short time. Even if we go back late, someone will take

care of Eddy," Kevin said confidently.

"But aren't they busy? Won't it be a bother to look after Eddy?" Anne asked worriedly.

"Don't worry. Sam is capable and can manage it. He'll arrange for someone to look after him," Kevin

said as he appeased her worries.

After debating it out with Kevin, Anne was finally relieved.

"All right."

Kevin gave hearty laughter when he saw that Anne was relieved. Finally, they could eat, alone, in

peace, and see where it went from there...

Actually, Sam wasn't all that busy. But thinking about Kevin's antics today, he couldn't help but think

that he was quite a romantic person.

"Your dishes are here, sir."

Six dishes were placed on the delicate table. The tablecloth was light-colored, and the plates were

white. The picturesque entree on the white plates looked appetizing.

"The food here is very delicious. Here. Try this," Kevin said as he placed some dish on Anne's plate.

Anne just lowered her head and ate without responding, but the corners of her mouth lifted from time to

time. Fortunately, Kevin couldn't see it.

"Anne, I feel a little uncomfortable," Kevin suddenly said, frowning.

Anne raised her head and found something wrong with Kevin's face. It was red as if he had a fever.

"What's wrong with you?" Anne was shocked. She put down her chopsticks and touched his forehead,

only to find that it was a little hot.

"I don't know," Kevin said, but his voice was mellow.

"Stop talking. I'll take you to the hospital."

The stars shone brightly in the dark night. The cold white light filled the room, and it reflected Kevin's

pale face.

Sam personally administered the drip to Kevin. Kevin took a deep breath.

"Can't you be a little gentle? How did you even get a doctor's degree?" Kevin complained.

However, Sam sneered, "Kevin, do you have a death wish or something? Don't you know you are

allergic to sea cucumbers? Weren't you asking for trouble when you decided to eat it? Anne was so

worried when you passed out just now."

"One thing: It's a medical accident if I die of drip." Kevin had a reasonable response.

"You are so annoying. Let's see how you are going to explain this to Anne." After saying his piece, Sam

pushed the medicine cart and left in a huff.

After Sam left, Anne entered and looked at him. Even though she acted indifferently, Kevin could see

the worry in her eyes. "Are you feeling better now?"

"Yes, I feel much better," Kevin said with a weak smile. He looked like a fragile yet delicate young man

who finally got through her defenses.

"You knew you were allergic to seafood. Yet you took me out for seafood, why?" Anne asked.

She was confused by Kevin's ridiculous choice.

"I'm only allergic to sea cucumbers. And the food in the Happy Restaurant is really delicious, isn't it?"

Kevin asked with a smile.

He was just like a boy who tripped and fell in order to get a toy for someone yet he felt nothing and still

asked that person if they liked the toy.

Rolling her eyes in anger, Anne said, "Just don't eat sea cucumbers from now on."

Even though her tone was harsh, the care in her voice couldn't be more obvious. So Kevin kinda

enjoyed it.

"I know. I know. Anyway, we can't go back today. Why don't we have a talk here?" Kevin suggested.

"No. I'll go see Eddy and ask Sam for the results."

"Don't worry. Sam will bring Eddy here later," Kevin said in a calm voice. Anne didn't retort this time and

just sat on the edge of the bed, close enough to make Kevin wanna jump and grab her, but far enough

that he would think twice.

It was getting dark outside. Anne usually stayed alert when she was outside and tried not to sleep.

Kevin had hurt her a lot, but she just couldn't resist him in her heart. Soon she felt sleepy.

Kevin was actually quite disappointed when he saw how sleepy Anne was. After all, both of them sitting

together, so close, so alone, was such a rare moment. He peeked at his watch.

It was half-past ten in the evening. Kevin figured Anne must be tired after the entire day's hassle. He

silently approached her and gently put her head on his shoulder.

At about eleven o'clock, Sam came in with Eddy in his arms. He smiled when he saw Kevin and Anne

sleeping harmoniously.

Kevin awoke when he heard the door opening. Seeing that it was Sam, he gestured him to remain

silent.

Sam gave him an all-knowing smile and closed the door while holding Eddy with one arm.

The room light was turned off, and the bedside light shone with a newfound strength. The faint lap light

rolled over Anne's face, making her look graceful.

Seeing Anne's glowing face, Kevin couldn't help but think his woman was the prettiest one of all.

He wanted to take her to bed, but he didn't dare. What if he woke her up and broke this beautiful

scene? No. Rather than breaking such a beautiful moment, he would keep such a painful posture just

to stay close to Anne.

In Claire Jewelry City.

The display lights still shone on the products inside, but the only difference was that there were some

new additions. Besides the high-end jewelry, there was also some inexpensive jewelry.

Even though they were made of cheaper materials, they looked elegant and beautiful.

Rose looked at these new additions and couldn't help but think that they felt like Mark—friendly and

congenial.

"Hello, Miss Rose."

Rose was a regular now, so the staff already knew who she was.

"Well, your vice president..."

"Our vice president is in the meeting room. He's in a meeting; he will come out in ten minutes," an

employee said with a smile.

Hearing this, Rose said, "Okay, I have something to talk to him. I'll wait for him here."

"Yes, I know. Actually, we all know it. Miss Rose has something important to talk about every day. We

all understand." After saying that, the employee covered her mouth and giggled.

Rose couldn't help but blush. She was embarrassed as she had been seen through. She tried to

explain and said, "I-I really have something important to talk about with your vice president."

"We totally understand! Please wait here. I'll take you to the vice president once he comes out." After

saying that, the employee went away to work.

Sitting on a soft chair in the corner, Rose smiled from time to time.

"Huh! Isn't she the girl who was rejected from her own wedding?"

"That's her! I heard that it was actually her sister that the CEO liked."

"Shameless! How could she steal her own sister's man?"

Hearing the sudden barrage of insults, Rose turned pale. She had been in a good mood ever since the

wedding was canceled. But never did she expect that others thought of her like this.

Agitated, she clutched the hem of her clothes as she didn't know what to do.

The verbal abuse was so bad that she thought if she tried to refute, it would become even worse.

She wanted to go out, but the crowd blocked all the exits.

The staff heard the vituperation too, but they could do nothing.

After twenty minutes of hard abuse, Rose was on the verge of breaking down. Her face turned paler by

the second as she sat alone in the corner.

The situation was escalating quickly, so Mark ended the meeting on an early note to solve it.

As soon as he arrived, the employee walked up to him and said, "Mr. Mark, Miss Rose is inside."

"Rose?" he asked with uncertainty.

"Yes."

"Calm down, everyone," said Mark loudly.

His voice was not loud, but it had a certain authority to it. Like magic, everyone quietened down, and

the staff beside him were no longer that nervous.

A serious Mark meant severe consequences. The staff knew that someone was in trouble.

Everyone's talk came down to a murmur and taking this opportunity, Mark said, "You have the freedom

of speech, so you can say whatever you want. But remember, I'm the one in charge of the ground you

stand on right now. And as the representative of Claire Jewelry City's interest, it's well within my powers

to call the police if you don't quiet down and tell them you are damaging the store's decorum."

All the people who could shop in such a high-end store were either rich or powerful.

However, the M Group was an autocratic jewelry institution, and no one dared to offend it.
