Chapter 500

How would I know where I am going? Shawn didn't tell me anything at all! "I have no idea. Shawn said he wants to surprise me."

"Fine. I am not interested to know either!"

Leon thought I was hiding it from him on purpose.

However, I didn't bother explaining it to him. When I returned to the rooftop, Shawn was still enjoying the breeze. I quickly went over and wrapped my arms around his neck. Pressing my cheeks against his, I asked, "What's on your mind, Sunny?"

"Just some random stuff."

What a patronizing reply.

"We found a kidney," he said after a brief pause.

It took me some time to process what he said. "When?"

"Mr. Briar just called me a few minutes ago to inform me that someone is willing to donate it. This is in exchange for three hundred thousand, which is not a large sum to us."

"So, the person is taking this as a sale?"

"Yes, and she is someone you know."

That piqued my interest.

"Who's that?"

"Ciara Gooding."

Diego's ex-girlfriend?!

Her kidney is a match!

I clutched Shawn's neck even tighter as I asked, "Is Diego aware of this? I guess not. He would never agree to it!"

"You're right. I won't agree to it as well."

"Why is she in need of money?" I inquired further.

"No idea. I have already contacted Diego about this."

This meant that this kidney source was no longer viable.

Just as I was feeling a little melancholy over this, Gary called. Sitting next to Shawn, I answered the call and asked, "What's the matter?"

"President Felix, I managed to find a kidney."


Wow! Another good news today.

And they almost came at the same time!

Leaning on Shawn's shoulder, I asked, "Is that from a dead or living person?"

"The deceased had signed up for organ donation before he passed away in a car accident, President Felix. The result of whether it matches or not was only released this morning, so I'm calling you right now."

"Okay. Contact the hospital," I responded.

"President Felix, Mr. Hastings was the one who helped—"

When I heard that, I quickly cast a sidelong glance at Shawn. Seeing him with his head bowed shocked me and I quickly interrupted Gary, "Okay. I got it."

After hanging up the phone, I explained, "I am not particularly close to Ezekiel. He can be weird at times. However, he did assist me in this matter."

"You don't have to explain anything to me. I understand."

Shawn was so considerate to me.

I held his head in my hands and kissed him on the cheek. "You seem to be clingy recently," he murmured as he wrapped his arms around my shoulder.

"You've always described me as clingy, Sunny."

Then, I rubbed my nose against his and continued, "I love you."

I loved him, which was why I always wanted to stay close to him.

And I admired him, too.

I admired the man I loved.

Shawn smiled when he heard what I said. "You are coaxing me again."

"I love you—" I said again, gently biting his cheek as I added, "—more than I love myself."

After cuddling with him for a while, I went downstairs to look for Francesca. She wasn't in the villa; thus, I briefly discussed the situation with Leon.

Frowning, he muttered, "Let me think about how I can persuade her. However, I'm not sure if I should try to persuade her either. I'm afraid the surgery will fail..."

Francesca would die on the spot if the surgery failed.

This was indeed a difficult decision to make.

I returned to the rooftop, only to discover that Shawn was no longer there. Only a helicopter could be seen on the lawn.

Waylen was standing right next to it.

He's early, I thought.

I quickly went to the room on the second floor and saw Shawn changing his clothes. "Are we leaving?" I asked as I approached him from behind and hugged him.

"Yes. Pack my luggage for me."

I quickly let go of him and took out a case.

He didn't have a lot to pack. I merely packed a few inner garments, underclothes, and T-shirts.

The luggage seemed empty. Thus, I threw in some anti-inflammatory medications, as well as a few bottles of sunscreen.

After everything had been packed, I asked, "How is your wound?"

"Healed. Scab has formed over it."

"But I thought I saw some bloodstains, no?"

He curled his lips when he heard that and did not say anything.

I approached him and unbuttoned his shirt. Seeing that I insisted on asking further, he slowly removed his bandage and said gently, "Look. There's a scab here now. I will be able to go into the water in a few days. Don't be too worried."

"But these bloodstains…"

"This is just a ruse. I can't let anyone know that I've recovered, in case any of them are planning some big moves."

Shawn then raised his hand to caress my head and explained, "Bryxton is so peaceful right now because we are all injured and are recuperating. If they knew I had recovered, we wouldn't be able to go on our honeymoon. Hence, I've been going to the hospital a lot these last few days just to throw them off guard."

Shawn finally admitted that this vacation was a honeymoon!
