My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 76

Chapter 76

Merlin never alerted me of anything. However, he warned me about Shawn. "Ree, Shawn Xenos is a powerful man who started out with nothing. His methods, cruelty, and coldness are all that I've never seen before! So, you better stay away from him, lest you will suffer forever."

He said Shawn was capable of making me suffer forever.

I pursed my lips and asked, "How much do you know about him?"

Although the Shawn I knew was cold but not as scary as what Merlin had commented, I still didn't know much about the man.

"To be honest, I don't know much about the Xenos Family. I heard a lot of things about them from my dad. He said that the Xenos are a cruel family. Shawn used to have several siblings, but he is the only one left alive. I heard the rest of them lost and were eliminated from the competition, but I don't exactly understand what happened."

I asked in surprise, "Is it a family conspiracy?"

It was something that Merlin denied. "No. There isn't any conspiracy theory from the Xenos Family. I don't know the situation very well, but you must never offend Shawn Xenos. Otherwise, you'll suffer! Ree, Shawn will do anything to get what he wants. I'm afraid that… My ex said Shawn saved you last night."

"Yes, Shawn saved me last night."

I didn't deny it and Merlin sighed. "He's never that kind. In Eldham, Shawn is a ruthless man. If he saved you, it shows he has a thing for you. I'm afraid that you can never escape from his control."

Merlin seemed to be talking about another person. The Shawn I knew was not as Merlin said, as I was free to come and leave at Xenos' Villa.

In addition, Shawn never chatted with me in his house.

I didn't tell Merlin about my current relationship with Shawn. Merlin would be worried if he knew that Shawn had treated me as his family. So, I decided to keep this matter a secret.

After I promised Merlin not to meet Shawn again, Merlin hung up the phone, feeling at ease. Then, I flew back to Bryxton.

It was almost evening when I returned to Bryxton and I sent a message to Gary.

When I arrived at the community, he was already waiting for me at the entrance.

He gave me the key and explained, "This is the Felix Corporation's apartment, and we have revamped the interior two days ago."

I took it and thanked him.

Gary shook his head. "President Felix, President Forger has tried to contact you for the past few days. Also, I found Quinn's whereabouts. She will come to Bryxton in a few days."

Hearing this, I only felt bitterness in my heart. Did she choose to return to Bryxton after all? Does she blame the Felixs?

I took a deep breath as I heard Gary continue, "President Felix, Quinn never touched the funds that flowed abroad over the years."

"She does blame the Felixs."

I went to the apartment in a trance. After opening the door and sitting on the sofa, I pondered for a bit. Then, I called Leon.

I was going to tell him about Quinn. However, he took the lead and announced, "Quinn contacted me and she said she is coming back to Bryxton."

I stayed silent upon hearing that.

I remembered Leon had tried to contact me a few days ago, but I didn't accept his call. When I tried to call back, he had turned off the phone.

I didn't know what to say, so I asked him helplessly, "Leon, do you think that Quinn hates me?"

"Renee, Quinn has a valid reason to do so."

I argued, "Still, it was my parents who allowed her to experience hell; it wasn't me… I'm not trying to argue, it's just that I'm just feeling guilty."

"Renee, there's something I haven't told you too."

Leon's tone suddenly became serious. I clenched the phone and asked him what it was. He whispered with a low voice, "Aside from Quinn, you were also your mother's match."

Renee, you were also your mother's match. These words haunted me like a nightmare.

With reddened eyes, I mumbled, "I'm sorry."

I had no idea what happened back then. Even if I knew, I had no means to stop it from happening.

Besides, it was my mother lying on the bed. If it weren't for Quinn… In the end, I was selfish too.

Despite my selfishness, I knew the right thing to do. This was the Felix Family's fault and we owed the little girl her life.

Leon sighed and said in a depressed tone, "Ree, I hate the Felix Family, but I can't bear to see you suffer."

As there was a hidden meaning in his words, I asked nervously, "What do you mean?"

"I'm afraid that Quinn has an ulterior motive here."

I asked softly, "Is she trying to get revenge on me?"

It must be Quinn who told Maria about my identity, as Maria knew her and tried to find my birth records from the hospital.

"Renee, Quinn told me on the phone that her current health is feeble. One kidney is not enough to support her; you are her only match. Her reason for coming back is to seek you out."

It turned out that Quinn wanted my kidney.

Upon hearing that, I asked Leon, "Do you think I'll give her that?"

Leon stayed silent for a while, then he took a deep breath saying, "I know you well. You're kind, but you won't tolerate any nonsense. Although you feel guilty for Quinn, it isn't enough for you to donate her a kidney. You won't do it."

I laughed. "I'm heartless, right?"

With my current physical condition, I couldn't donate a kidney to Quinn; if I did that, I couldn't save my own life.

"Renee, all of these are your parents' fault."

Leon was a reasonable person.

At that, I asked in surprise, "Don't you blame me?"

"Don't mind me, as this has nothing to do with me. You should ask Quinn because there is a chance she won't forgive you."

Leon said it seriously, to which I asked curiously, "Did Quinn tell you something else?"

"She is a doctor; she has a weapon against you." Leon explained, "That's what she said exactly."

After hanging up the phone, I couldn't calm down for a long time. I didn't quite understand what her weapon was.

From what he said, it seemed dangerous.

I shook my head and stopped thinking about the future. No matter what Quinn did, I would do my best to handle them without hurting her.

I rose to my feet and took a shower in the bathroom. After that, I looked at the cell phone on the sofa, which was exactly the same model as Shawn's.

If one thought about it, it was like a couple's phone. Waylen said that this phone was developed by Xenos Solutions. So, there were only two in this world, which belonged to Shawn and me.

There were many unread messages on my WhatsApp. After hesitating, I didn't read them and ordered some takeaway instead. I went downstairs to the community after the meal to relax.

I went to a secluded place, took out my phone and accessed WhatsApp. May, Olivia, and Nicholas had sent me messages, but I first clicked on May's chat.

She said, 'I mustered my courage to kiss Rudy yesterday.'

In the end, she decided to use Rudy to avenge Alba.

She wanted to use Rudy's love to do it.

I replied, 'How did he react to it?'

'Ree, his lips were cold.'

I didn't know how to reply to her.

May was always quick to reply, as if she often paid attention to her phone. However, her content was hard to answer.

I replied, 'Do you love it?'

May sent an ellipse symbol to me. Maybe her emotions were conflicted.

It must be a complicated matter. She was not trying to seduce any random man—it was Rudy Adams. It would be hard to not fall in love with the man.

I wondered if she could withstand the temptation.
