“Clint, what are you doing?!” Poppy softened her tone. “Didn’t you hear how she insulted me?! Why aren’t you doing anything about it?!”“Enough, stop talking!” Clint’s face remained expressionless.“Last night we agreed that I’d come to see you today, but you still refused to meet me. I thought it was for some important person, but it turns out it’s for her!”Poppy refused to back down. She glared at Serena and continued angrily, “Clint, have you forgotten the torment and pain this woman brought you?! Didn’t you say you’d stay far away from her?! Think about Uncle Beckett! He…”“Enough! Don’t say another word!” Clint roared, interrupting her incessant chatter.Poppy still wasn’t satisfied, but under Clint’s fierce glare, she didn’t dare act up further.Now, it was Serena who felt a headache.What did this

Clint’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

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?"

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

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
