A week later, Renee recovered well from her leg injury. She was now able to get her cast removed and was discharged from the hospital.
Liam, Leia, and William came to pick her up.
"Today is such a good day. Our Boss can finally remove her cast and come back to life with full blood in her veins. We must celebrate this!"
Liam was apparently excited, and even thoughtfully prepared a wheelchair for Renee.
"Of course! I have booked a restaurant and prepared a surprise for Ren. I think that she will like it!" Leia said in suspense, smiling like a flower in full bloom.
They drove to the restaurant Leia had booked in advance.
The feast on the table made Renee drool. She couldn't wait to dig in.
"Take your time, Boss. Don't choke yourself."
Liam patiently diced the steak for Renee and put them onto her plate quietly as if he was taking care of a child. He did everything so meticulously.
He could not help it, as he cared too much for her. He would not allow her to be hurt even a bit, so he has to take care of even the smallest things.
Renee was a little overwhelmed and said helplessly, "Liam, I just hurt my leg. I am not crippled. Don't treat me like a disabled who can't take care of herself."
She had been eating and drinking too lightly in the hospital that she felt that she almost became a nun. Today was a rare opportunity to eat as much as she wanted, yet here she was, closely monitored by a man. This was so frustrating!
"I want to eat fast. I want to eat a lot. I would rather die choking than to starve to death!" Renee threw a childish tantrum and argued with Liam.
But to her embarrassment, she choked and started coughing fiercely, as Liam had predicted.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Leia always felt that Renee chose to be with Liam not because of love but simply out of familiarity and gratitude.
Such a relationship would, over time, become a double-edged sword that would cut both parties at the same time.
"I…"
Renee bit her lips, feeling awkward and powerless.
How could she not know that it wasn't love between her and Liam?
It was just that she firmly believed that if she tried hard enough, the other feelings they experienced would slowly turn into love.
"Ren, why don't you do what I did and flirt with my brother? If you guys keep respecting each other like this, and your hearts are separated by a hundred thousand miles, when will you really walk into each other's hearts?"
