Chapter 318


    The manager of the horse ranch had cold sweat oozing on his back. “I... I don’t know. This horse was


    suddenly startled... We didn’t pay attention to it so it broke free and ran out...”


    rence stood up and said in a cold tone, “You should investigate why the horse was startled.”


    The manager nodded. “I’ll take it for a checkup. Mr. Conrad, would you like to see a doctor?”


    “Not necessary.”


    “Yes.”


    Two voices were heard at the same time.


    rence turned around and looked over at Ste. “It’s unnecessary.”


    Ste insisted. Just now, when rence fell on the ground with her in his arms, she heard him bump


    into something.


    Although the wretched man didn’t admit it, how could he be all right in this case?


    The manager looked at rence and then at Ste. In the end, he turned to Vincent for help.


    Vincent handed the rein of the horse to the manager. “Go back to your work, please. I can apany


    Mr. Conrad to see the doctor.”


    “Thank you, Mr. James. After I found something, I’ll reply to you immediately.”


    Vincent nodded. “Please go ahead.”


    After the manager led the horse to leave, Vincent patted the dirt off his hand. “Mr. Conrad, let’s go. You


    should ask the doctor to check you up. If you are injured, someone would worry about you.”


    rence cast him an indifferent nce. “You want to join the fun, don’t you?”


    Vincent choked up.


    rence pulled Ste’s hand and walked in another direction.


    Since Vincent had nothing to do now, he decided to follow the manager to check the horse’s status.


    It was a huge club with quite a lot of facilities and programs. Hence, there was a small private clinic in


    there as well so when the idle ones from the rich or powerful families got injured, they could be rescued


    and helped in time.


    On the way to the clinic, rence said, “I’m fine, really. We don’t need to go there. It’s a waste of time.”


    “No way! It’s just a checkup. It won’t waste much time.” Ste frowned. “Earlier you also wasted some


    times in the rock climbing field. Why didn’t it matter?”


    Upon hearing it, rence curled up his lips and didn’t speak. He led her forward.


    When they arrived at the clinic, Ste asked the doctor to give rence a detailed examination. The


    result showed that except for the bruises when he bumped into the ground, he had no other injuries.


    rence looked over at Ste and raised his brows slightly. “Do you rest assured now?”


    Ignoring him, Ste asked the doctor again, “He fell on the ground fiercely just now. Could you please


    check him up again?”


    The doctor smiled. “Mrs. Conrad, please don’t worry. I can guarantee that Mr. Conrad hasn’t been


    injured seriously. What about this? I can prescribe him some medicine for traumatic injuries. You can


    put it on Mr. Conrad’s bruises frequently so he could recover soon.


    When Ste was about to say something else, rence interrupted her, “All right, Mrs. Conrad. If you


    do worry about me a lot, why don’t you check me up yourself?”


    Ste was speechless.


    Her face turned reddish rapidly.


    She wondered what nonsense the wretched man was talking about.


    Noticing the faint smile on the doctor’s face, Ste felt so embarrassed. She stammered, “It’s... it’s


    alright if you are fine. I’m going to use the bathroom very quick.”


    As she spoke, she escaped from here.


    After staying in thedies’ room for ten minutes, Ste finally calmed down and the temperature on her


    face dropped to normal.


    She exhaled and pulled a piece of tissue to wipe her hands, walking out.


    When she arrived at the door of the doctor’s office, she saw Phoebe.


    At the same time, thetter saw Ste as well.


    Since their conflicts were exposed, Phoebe had already stopped being hypocritical to her. She looked


    away coldly and entered the doctor’s office directly.


    Ste tossed the tissue into the garbage can, turned around, and walked downstairs.


    In the doctor’s office.


    Phoebe looked at the man who was putting on his jacket in a daze. “rence, why are you here as


    well?”


    rence cast her a nce and answered tly, “Don’t y asking while knowing the answer in my


    presence.”


    Phoebeughed. “Why am I asking while knowing the answer? When I was doing rock climbing just


    now, I got injured carelessly. I came over for a checkup. You don’t need to mistake that I’m doing it


    deliberately.”


    “Then what should I say? What a coincidence! You are injured, too. Are you here for a checkup?”


    Phoebe was rendered speechless for a moment.


    The doctor coughed. “Ms. Steward, please allow me to give you a checkup.”


    Before Phoebe could speak, rence strode out of the office.


    She turned around and gazed at his receding figure, biting her bottom lip.


    ...


    When rence walked out of the clinic, Ste was drinking a ss of soft drink while sitting on the


    bench, enjoying the sunshine happily.


    He strode over and sat next to her. “Where did you get this?”


    Ste answered, “Just now a handsome young man said I’m quite pretty, so he gave it to me for free.”


    rence was silent.


    Reaching out, he grabbed the drink from Ste’s hand, lowered his head, and gulped down half of it.


    “Wait. Wait. What are you doing?”


    “I’m thirsty.”

    Ste curled her mouth. “Did you go to buy some drinks just now?”


    “I’ve thrown them somewhere.” rence looked at her. “Why did youe to sit here?”


    Ste answered, “If I returned to the office, I would interrupt your conversation with your former


    fiancee.”


    rence licked his thin lips and whispered, “Still jealous?”


    Ste snorted. “Who’s jealous? I’m just considerate.”


    Amusement appeared in rence’s ck eyes. He raised his hand to rub her hair. “All right, my


    considerate Mrs. Conrad, do you still n to sit here?”


    “Don’t rub my hair. Be careful with my hairstyle!”


    Ste waved his hand off, took out a small mirror, and tidied herself up.


    She purposely made a hair ording to an online video after getting up this morning.


    The wretched man almost ruined it.


    rence said, “You don’t need to use the mirror. You are already pretty. Otherwise, why someone gave


    you the drink for free but no one cares about me?”


    Ste put down the mirror and snorted slightly. “Mr. Conrad, I’m afraid you can never experience being


    favored by others all your life.”


    After they only walked for a few minutes, they saw an old man with gray hair selling drinks in front of a


    cute van.


    rence raised his eyebrows. “Is he the handsome young man you mentioned?”


    Ste didn’t answer.


    She just wished him to shut up.


    Ste wanted to buy the drink from him, but the old man said that the drinks from the van were


    provided by the club, so they were free for everyone.


    rence walked over and said, “Two sses, please.”


    The old man bowed at them and got them the drinks.


    rence slightly nodded, bent over, and took the drinks from his hands.


    Watching the scene, Ste gradually curled up her lips into a smile.


    Although everyone said that rence was self-righteous, arrogant, and reckless, he was always with


    good manners for the respectful ones.


    On the contrary, those people who gave him such ament were always with hypocritical


    benevolence and morality, but behind the scenes, they had exhausted all kinds of dirty means.


    The Conrad family had never expected that the illegitimate child that they once trained to bnce the


    pros and cons would have his own thoughts.


    When he became uncontroble, they hated and feared him.
