Chapter 606
Ste became sleepier even after sleeping for a long time. After finishing the meal, she yawnedzily,
feeling her whole body weak. She sat on the sofa, hugging her knees, and looked out of the windows
dully, having no focus for her gaze.
rence shifted his gaze away from theputer andnded on Ste. He then asked in a low voice,
“Are you sleepy?”
Ste rubbed her sore eyes and replied, “Not that sleepy.”
“Go to bed if want to sleep. I will wake you up when it’s time for dinner.”
Ste was rendered speechless.
She murmured to herself, “How can I go to be right after finishing a meal and eat right after waking up?
I’m not a pig.”
rence curled his lips into a light smile and put a thin nket on her legs, “Even if you’re a pig, you’re
the cutest and the best-looking one.”
Ste couldn’t help but kick him, “Can you please don’t sweet-talk me? It’s disgusting.”
rence raised his hand and grabbed her ankle effortlessly, “Why are you angry at me? I’m
complementing you.”
“Thanks. But I don’t need it.”
“You’re wee. It’s what I should do.”
Ste gritted her teeth angrily. She wanted to withdraw her foot, but rence tightened the grip on it.
Looking at her fair calf, rence subconsciously raised his brows.
At the next second, he leaned forward, pressed her leg with one leg and pinned each of her hand on
one side of the sofa. His eyes turned unfathomable and his voice became husky as he asked, “You
don’t want to sleep?”
Perceiving his intention, Ste cursed him, “Bastard.”
rence retorted, “You like me even if I’m a bastard.”
“Who likes you? I…”
Before he could finish the words, rence put his hand on the left side of her chest.
Ste was stunned for a moment. Then she pped him on the face without hesitation.
rence was rendered speechless.
He pinned her hand back on the sofa, clicked the hurting mouth corner and called her name in a deep
voice, “Ste Radomil!”
Ste also realized that she had used too much strength just now. But she thought rence should
me himself for suddenly taking advantage of her, and it was just that she subconsciously tried to
protect herself.
With that thought, she said in a weaker voice which somehow carried some guilty, “I… I took you not to
paw me. You seek for it.”
“It was you who said you didn’t like me first.”
“I did say that, but does this mean you can paw me? Shameless!”
rence tried to suppress his anger, “I just want you to feel your heartbeat.”
Ste suddenly realized that he was touching the position beneath which her hearty just now.
She was suddenly lost for words.
rence continued, “You did simr things to me, didn’t you?”
Ste retorted righteously although she was not well-grounded, “You still cannot do that to me! There’s
a difference between female and male. You’re pawing me!”
“Everyone is equal.”
Ste just wanted to condemn him at the moment.
She struggled and said, “Let go of me. I want to sleep.”
“You look excited. Don’t sleep.”
Ste turned her head to look at his arm which was so close to her. There was suddenly a surge of
strength from her body, which drove her to bite his arm to vent her anger.
rence didn’t make any sound. He simply knitted his brows and let her bite him.
Ste finally came to her own sense when she tasted the blood in her mouth. She then slowly rxed
her bite.

She though rence would be infuriated and m close the door, but unexpectedly, he simply stared
at her and asked, “Are you still angry?”
Ste closed her eyes, not giving him any reply.
rence got up from the sofa, pulled her into his arms and rubbed her hair, “Well, you’re cursed me
and bit me. Aren’t they enough to mollify your anger?”
He knew that Ste had been suppressing her worries ever since the child was hospitalized.
When having a check-up for her today, the doctor said that except for excessive fatigue, she also had
much pent-up worries, anger and depression. If she didn’t release those negative emotions, she would
get sick.
Feeling a lump in her throat, Ste had tears in her eyes. She continuously hit his chest with her fist
and said with sobs, “Bastard! Damn you! Why did you lie to me? You had been lying to me for a long
time… You refused to tell me no matter what I asked you…”
Tears streamed down Ste’s cheeks nonstop. She continued while choking with sobs, “I took him back
several days ago, but now I have to part him… I didn’t take good care of him, nor did I protect him. I’m
not a qualified mother… I’m not qualified to be his mother…”
rence kissed her forehead, “It’s my bad. You’re not to be med.”
Ste cried more sorrowfully, “It’s originally your fault.”
rence gently patted her back, “Can you please give me a chance? You can’t directly sentence me to
death, right?”
“I’ve shown mercy to you that I didn’t execute you right away.”
rence chuckled, “Well, looks like I got a punishment like the death sentence with reprieve. Now my
dear Ste, my dear judge, can you change it into a life sentence?”
“How can it be possible? How can sentence of death bemuted?”
rence replied after a while of silence, “I think this metaphor is not that appropriate.”
Ste choked with sobs, “Wasn’t it you who started this?”
“My bad. Let’s stop this topic here.”
Just as rence had finished the words, Ste kicked him down the sofa, collected the thin nket,
turned her back to him, covered her head and fell asleep.
Looking at her back, rence curled his lips into a smile. He sat on the carpet, took hisptop here
and continued to deal with his work.
Half an hourter, he received a call from Nathan.
Looking at Ste who was sleeping soundly, rence lowered the think nket, after which Ste’s
mouth and nose was exposed. He then walked to the bedroom and answered the call.
Nathan reported, “Mr. Conrad, we’ve found out their exact location. Should we break in and take out
Noah?”
“Don’t do it now.” rence asked, “Do you have the list of the members of the medical team?”
“Yes. I will send it to you right away.”
rence put down his phone, amplified the voice of the phone and clicked the document sent by
Nathan.
Nathan continued, “The James family has been cultivating this medical team and many of its members
are prestigious and well-known doctors in the world. Their main task is to develop and research new
medicines. However, they found many problems in theter examinations of the nutrition needle they
developed two years ago.”
“During the examination stage of the product, the wife of a member of theboratory had a premature
delivery and the child was on the verge of death. Therefore, he stole a nutrition needle and gave the
child an injection. It was true that the child’s health condition was improved at that time, however, half
an hourter, the child had some symptoms which were the same as Noah’s. The employee asked the
doctors of theboratory about it and they got to know what he had done.”
“Look at the list of the members of the medical team, there was a person called Archer James. It’s said
that he’s a disciple of a prestigious doctor called Clifford Breton. He has shown outstanding medical
skills since young and is also an attending doctor of the symptoms caused by the nutrition needle.
Meanwhile, his mother and Darnell’s mother are cousins, so he’s a rtive of Darnell.”
When Nathan finished the words, rence turned to the page on which Archer’s information was
shown.
rence ordered, “Send some men to keep an eye on theboratory. Find an opportunity to take him
out. I want to meet up with him.”
“Okay. I will arrange it right away.”
rence added, “Take a doctor to that child’s home and confirm his condition. Then you shall report it
to me.”
