Xavier and Serena simultaneously turned to look. Clint stood in the doorway, dressed in a black suit, staring with a stern expression at their still-clasped hands.

Serena instinctively pulled her hand back, but Xavier held it tightly.

Turning around, he put on a casual smile, saying nonchalantly, "Oh, what strange wind has brought Mr. Beckett here?!"

Clint pressed his lips together, his eyes fixed on Serena’s face. He didn’t respond to Xavier’s words, but instead stepped closer, asking as he approached, "Do you feel unwell anywhere?!"

His questioning tone made Serena uncomfortable.

She shot him a cold look, "What does whether I feel good or not have to do with you?! We’re divorced. Legally, you and I are just two strangers with no ties. What’s with that murderous look? Who are you trying to impress?!"

Clint stopped in his tracks, his gaze sharp as he looked at her. "Serena, I... I’m just worried about you. I mean no h

  • The Art of Revenge   Materialistic Woman

    The young doctor didn’t dare to act further, allowing Xavier to personally carry the two large bags into the exclusive clinic.If one had to describe this place, it wasn’t so much a clinic as it was a luxurious private club.The lobby was opulently decorated in European style, with a large crystal chandelier hanging high in the air. The waiting area alone spanned nearly a hundred square meters.Under the personal guidance of Dr. Wale, Xavier walked into an ultra-luxurious hospital room that was over 200 square meters, fully equipped with various functional zones."Mr. Blaze, please come this way!" Dr. Wale kindly opened the door to the room and stepped aside, inviting Xavier to enter first.The man walked in with a blank expression.Upon entering, he carefully placed the two bags he was holding onto the low cabinet beside the bed.Dr. Wale and the medical staff stood behind him, bowing respectfully. "Mr. Blaze, please rest here for the

    Clint simply curled his lips into a bitter smile and shook his head. “None of that matters anymore. Since we’re already impossible, why bother bringing up the past?”“But… I really want to know!”The man closed his eyes and turned his face away in defeat. “Just go. I want to rest now.”“Clint!” Serena wasn’t willing to give up just yet and tried asking again.But he no longer gave her any response.With no choice, she got up. Before leaving, she gently advised, “No matter the reason, I hope you stop destroying your body like this. Your parents are no longer around, and you’re the only bloodline the Beckett family has left. For the sake of honoring the love they gave you, you should take better care of yourself.”“The old you was ambitious, decisive, and never swayed by emotions. Though I was hurt because of that, if I had to compare, I still preferred

  • The Art of Revenge   The Touch

    Xavier didn’t react immediately and tentatively pointed at himself, “Me? Silly?!”“Yep!” Serena nodded, “With your conditions, you can have any kind of woman you want. Why waste time and energy on me?”“...! Probably, I owe you from the last life!” The man curved his brows and joked.But Serena suddenly felt a twinge in her nose.Out of the more than six billion people in the world, besides one's biological parents, there is still someone who treats you sincerely, without asking for anything in return, regardless of the cost. How lucky that is!She stared at Xavier’s face, and she found that this man was even more charming than she had imagined.But, it was precisely because he was so good that she didn’t want to get close.It wasn’t that she had low self-esteem or thought she was unworthy. It was just that, after all, she was a divorced woman. If she really became involved wit

  • The Art of Revenge   Silly

    Serena’s pupils were as blue as the deep sea, her face as pale as a demon rising from hell. "My father is not the kind of person you claim him to be! I can tolerate you insulting me, but don't you dare slander my father!"Poppy held her face, her eyes wide in disbelief. She was too stunned to even continue shouting.Serena loosened her grip and shoved Poppy roughly backward. "Next time you speak ill of my father, don’t blame me for being rude!"A warm hand wrapped around Serena’s shoulder, and she turned her head to look.Xavier’s lazy breath brushed against her ear. "Miss Castano, I hope you heard what Serena just said?""Mr. Blaze, why are you...?" Poppy stammered."Me?" Xavier smirked, looking at her as if she were an idiot. "What’s wrong with me?"Poppy, still stubborn, pointed at Serena and venomously said, "How can you trust a woman like her?""Whether I trust her is my business!" Xavier spoke in a casual to

    Poppy stared at him intently, silently tightening the strap of her handbag. "A friend?! I bet this is no ordinary friend! If you won’t take me, I’ll go on my own! Anyway, there are only a few rooms on this floor; I’ll search room by room and I don’t believe I won’t find your special friend!"After muttering to herself, she turned around and walked down the hallway with a gloomy expression.Inside the VIP ward.After Clint left, Serena quickly pulled her hand back. "He’s gone, why are you still holding on?!"The man lowered his head to look at her, his expression not looking too good. "Clint seems to care a lot about you. He thought you were sick and was willing to leave behind his work at Beckett Corp just to rush here.""Care?!" Serena sneered. "I don’t know if he’s actually concerned about me. I’ve never received his concern before, so I’m not familiar with how he cares for people! And i

    A flash of panic crossed Xavier's eyes, and he quickly asked, “Serena, what happened?! Did something happen while you were out shopping?!”“No! Nothing happened!” Serena shook her head. “I just think that the exclusive clinic has better conditions, with medical staff who can take good care of you. There, your health will recover faster.”“I don’t care about recovering or not, I just want to stay here, with you!”“Stop being willful!” Serena turned her eyes away. “You’re not a child anymore, don’t joke with your health.”“Who’s joking?!” In his urgency, Xavier grabbed Serena’s arm. “You know my health is strong, this little illness won’t bring me down, it’s the same wherever I get treated.”Serena lowered her face, allowing him to hold her arm. “You…”Before she could finish, she heard an astonished

    For a moment, Serena was stunned, not quite understanding what he was getting at. Serena pursed her lips and coldly replied, "There's no need for that!""..." The other end of the line fell silent.Not having time to waste with him, she said, "Fine, I'm in a rush to get back to the hospital, no more small talk.""Then... take care of yourself. If you run into any problems, feel free to reach out to me!"She blinked and casually responded, "Got it!" before ending the call on her side.Walking quickly back, she mulled over what had happened. What was up with Clint? Why was he suddenly so concerned about her?When they were still married, he never treated her with this much care. Now that they were divorced, he seemed more eager than ever."Heh... Men are such confusing creatures. When they have something good, they chase after something else. When they lose it, they suddenly want it back."The more she thought about it, the more amused she

    Xavier smirked wickedly, "My attitude only improved because you were upset, not because of that pervy little doctor. If you make me angry, I’ll buy out this broken hospital and make sure that kid loses his job!" "You're getting more ridiculous with every word!" His childish behavior resurfaced, but fortunately, Serena ignored him and plopped back down on the sofa, refusing to speak. Xavier cautiously studied her, trying to figure out how to make amends, when his phone rang Irritated, he grabbed his phone from the bedside table, briefly glanced at the screen, and impatiently asked, "What’s going on? Don’t you know I’m sick and in the hospital, needing rest? Why are you calling me?!" On the other end of the line, a respectful voice came through, "Sir, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were unwell. Are you at the Blaze’s exclusive clinic? I’ll come to visit you right now." "I’m not at the exclusive clinic! I’m in another hospital, so don’t bother coming!"
