Chapter 1668
"What do you mean?" Quinton frowned in disdain. "Don't liken me to that iceberg-
I'm not as cruel and aloof as him." "But you both said the same thing!" Renee
smiled tenderly, feeling loved. "I got myself into this mess, but you both keep
blaming yourselves. Like him, you look cold and fierce on the outside, but are
actually a really warm and sensitive person.” Outsiders felt that Renee was
miserable because she was blind and poisoned, but she really wasn't because
she was loved by so many. They tried their best to cure her, and although the
poison had spread to her entire body, she felt happy to be loved so genuinely.
"If that's the case, I need to change my opinion of him," Quinton muttered as he
pulled a chair over and sat beside Renee. Surprisingly, he started complimenting
Stefan. "Yes, he constantly has a poker face on, and he seems world-weary and
difficult, but he's sincere towards you. Back then, I wouldn't have believed him if
he said he would die for you... but now I would. He really would give up his life for
you!"
Stefan had dived into such a deep part of the sea with just an oxygen tank, and
had entered the heart-shaped cave that had a ninety percent mortality rate on his
own. He had done all of that just to find a pearl that might not even exist, so
Quinton couldn't doubt his sincerity.
Renee realized something was amiss, and asked nervously, "What do you mean,
Quinton? Did you... bump into him?" Quinton had gone to the South Sea to look
for Chase and the lost treasures, and coincidentally, that was where the Southern
Oceanic stone was supposed to be. It would make sense that Quinton had
bumped into Stefan there.
"Yeah, I did." Quinton nodded. "I didn't expect to see him in that small fisherman
village. He was drenched and pale, and his lips had turned blue because he had
almost suffocated. He wasn't even breathing when we found him, and everyone
thought that he couldn't be saved... But even in that condition, he still hugged that
shell fiercely. No one could take it from him." "What?" Renee's eyes were wide in
shock, and her heart pounded fearfully in her chest.
"He was lucky-I'm experienced in sailing and knew a bit of first aid, so I saved
him and repaid him for getting Dr. Wagner to cure me," Quinton explained
arrogantly, trying to sound casual but his body grew tense as he recalled that
day. Quinton was usually quite arrogant and self-absorbed, and rarely approved
of anyone, but he sincerely felt that Stefan was a tough man.
It was rather ironic that the man Quinton had hated and fought against almost all
his life was the only man he approved of now.
"Where is he then? I can't get in touch with him..."
