A Mistake

2025-04-30 12:40:15Clint’s reaction made Serena's heart tighten. Could it be that Gaius's death really had something to do with her father?!
No! It couldn't be!
Her father had always been her role model. He was upright and incorruptible, never abusing his power.
Since she was little, he had taught her to be a kind and honest person.
How could someone like him possibly be involved in someone else's suicide?!
Shaking her head, Serena replied, displeased, "No! Miss Castano was about to spout nonsense, but fortunately, you arrived before she could start!"
She stood up, grabbed her bag from the chair beside her, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and threw them on the table. "I'll pay for the coffee. At least Miss Castano understands my preferences so well!"
Before leaving, she glanced at the tightly pursed-lips man and reminded him, "By the way, since you're so devoted to Miss Castano, why don't you pay more attention to her health? Mental illness is s

Last night... thank you for the red wine.]After the message was sent, she held the phone, waiting for his reply.But after waiting for a while, there was still no response."Strange?!" Serena turned on the screen of her phone, "He usually replies quickly, why is it taking so long this time?"In the midst of her thoughts, the taxi had already stopped at the entrance of the community. The driver turned around, "Twenty-six!"Serena snapped out of her thoughts, "Oh, right! Can I transfer it?""Sure, no problem!" T

Serena quickly lowered her head and pressed down on Vega's head as well."Hey, Serena, what are you doing?!" Vega, confused, tilted her head and looked at her."Shh!" Serena put her right index finger to her lips, "Xavier turned around, I wonder if he saw us...""Did he? I didn't see him turn around!" Vega blinked, "Let go, my hair's already thin. If you keep pulling on it, I'm going bald."Serena only then realized that her hand was still firmly pressing on Vega's head.She quickly loosened her grip and apologized, "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention in the heat of the moment."Vega touched her hair, "It's fine, I won't actually get mad at you." Then, she quietly lifted her head, "I'll go check what they're up to now!""Don't! What if he sees us?!" Serena was still anxious."So what if he sees us? This restaurant's open for business, there's no rule against us being here! We're just here to have a meal, what's the problem?"

Serena turned around, and Xavier was smirking, leaning casually against the car. "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? You haven’t even had the cocktail I ordered for you."He shouldn’t have mentioned the drink. As soon as he did, an unnamed fury flared up inside Serena.She turned her face and angrily asked, “Your drinks, I can’t afford them. Don’t you have many fiancées? Go drink with them. You seemed to be having a great time with that woman just now!”“I was having a great time!” Xavier nodded, “At least, she doesn’t treat me like air and ignore me.”His blunt admission made Serena even more irritable.She turned back to the car door and tried to open it again. “Fine, if you’re happy, go find her. Why are you blocking me?!”Xavier stretched out his long arm and blocked her path. “Are you angry?”“No!” Serena turned her face away,

Vernon Hospital.From the moment they got out of the car, Xavier switched into clingy mode, wrapping his arm around Serena's slender arm and refusing to let go.Serena wanted to get angry, but he whined and used his fever as an excuse.After grinding her teeth a few times and silently repeating to herself, ‘He’s a patient, don’t argue with him,’ she finally managed to suppress her anger a little.Beside the registration window, Xavier’s head leaned back onto Serena's shoulder. She gritted her teeth and complained, "Mr. Blaze, you’re clinging to me like a koala, how am I supposed to register for you?!"The man shamelessly smiled, saying, "I told you before, I don’t need to be at the hospital. As long as you let me lean on you for a while, I’ll be fine soon!""Leaning on me will make you better?!" Serena rolled her eyes in disbelief, "I’m not a magic potion. If I c

Serena’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly looked away, trying to pull her hand back from his grip. "Let go, the doctor will be here soon, it's not good if someone sees us.""What are you afraid of?" Xavier didn't let up, "You’ve already divorced Clint, and I'm single. We're both unmarried, so what’s the big deal if we hold hands? Even if we hug, they wouldn’t dare to say anything.""This is a hospital! Watch your image, will you?!" Serena lowered her voice, "You're a famous figure in Vernon. If you're recognized and it ends up trending on social media, Uncle Blaze definitely won’t let you off the hook.""Always bringing up my dad to pressure me!" Xavier was reluctant but still let go of her hand.Serena smiled at him. "I knew it, only Uncle Blaze can handle you! You've been afraid of him since you were little!""You think I let go because I’m scared of him?!""Isn't that the reason?!" Serena said confidently. "Uncle

The man’s thin lips twitched, and he broke into a smile. He didn’t open his eyes or say a word, but his grip on her hand loosened.Taking the opportunity, Serena quickly pulled her right hand free. She didn’t even have time to rub it before she hurriedly rushed out of the examination room.She hurried to the hospital registration desk, and by the time she arrived, beads of sweat had already appeared on her forehead.The woman in line ahead of her glanced back and kindly stepped aside. "Miss, is your family situation urgent? If you like, you can go ahead!"Serena waved her hand. "No, thank you, Auntie. There aren’t many people in front of me; I’ll just wait my turn.""Ah, no need to be so polite! Look at your face, it’s all red. You must have rushed here in a hurry. Go ahead, take your turn!"Hearing this, Serena instinctively touched her face.Wow, it's so hot!Embarrassed, she smiled. "Aunti

Serena didn’t react immediately. She pointed at her nose. "Cute?! Are you talking about me?!"She acknowledged that she was somewhat attractive, and many people had complimented her on her looks throughout her life, but no one had ever called her cute, let alone him."Yeah! Who else is here besides you?!" Xavier smiled, his lips curling up.Her heart, which had calmed down a little, once again started racing uncontrollably. Serena lowered her head. "Stop joking. I know what I look like. How could I possibly be cute?!""Well, you seem to have some misunderstanding about yourself!" Xavier insisted. "Just now, when you pouted like that, you looked like a little round pufferfish. So adorable!"Serena frowned. "Hey, can you have some conscience? I was angry just now, and instead of comforting me, you’re focusing on whether I’m cute or not?!"Xavier grinned, revealing two rows of perfectly white teeth. "By the way, if I want to s

Feeling uneasy under his gaze, Serena looked down at her fingers. "It's your phone, isn't it? Whether you answer it or not, what's that got to do with me? If you want to pick it up, then do so. If not, don't. Why are you asking me?"Xavier didn't say another word but silently stared at her.A few seconds later, his lips curled up in a playful smirk, and he grabbed the phone, putting it to his ear. "Miss Carter."Before the person on the other end spoke, his sharp eyes briefly flicked over to Serena. He then took the phone away from his ear and switched it to speaker mode.On the other end, a sweet, slightly shy female voice came through. “Xavier, what are you up to?”“Not much, just resting,” Xavier replied casually. “We just had lunch, and Miss Carter’s already calling me. Is something wrong?”Karina pouted playfully, "From the sound of it, you don’t seem too thrilled that I called.""No!" Xavier sai

Vernon Hospital.Since the phone call with Karina, Xavier and Serena haven’t spoken to each other.She turned her head to face the window, pretending to look at the view outside.He, on the other hand, pressed his lips together and stared at her, not saying a word, seemingly lost in thought.More than twenty minutes passed. Serena endured and endured, but eventually couldn’t hold it in any longer. She turned around and glanced at the IV bag hanging beside the bed.The liquid in the bag was almost gone. She roughly estimated the remaining time it would take for the infusion to finish, then turned back, ready to continue watching the sparrows on the tree outside the window."Serena!" A hoarse voice came from behind.Serena didn’t turn around immediately. After a few seconds, she replied, "Hmm?!""Hey!" Xavier sighed, his voice low, "I was wrong!""Huh..."
