---
Renee sat up in her hospital bed, a soft sigh of understanding escaping her lips as she processed Justin's sudden calm. Just a moment ago, the air in the room had grown thick with suspicion — a mystery bouquet had arrived for Renee, and Justin's sharp eyes had narrowed like a hawk spotting prey. But now, his shoulders relaxed, his expression eased, and he simply nodded as if a storm had passed.
"Oh..." Justin let out a relaxed breath. "So it's not Stefan. It doesn't matter then."
Renee blinked, utterly confused by his dismissive attitude. "Why not?" she asked, tilting her head with genuine curiosity shining in her eyes.
Justin offered her a confident smile, the kind that spoke of unshakable self-assurance. "It's because I have nothing to fear if it wasn't from Stefan," he declared, his voice steady as steel. "Even if it's flowers, gold, or cash."
Renee was speechless. She stared at the handsome man before her, marveling at how someone could look so intelligent yet be so utterly dense at the same time. If only Justin knew the truth — that Stefan had been bringing Renee food every single night, lingering in her ward for over an hour each visit. If he knew that, his arrogant confidence might just crumble into dust. But Renee kept those secrets locked deep in her heart, pressing her lips together to hold back the words.
Leia, however, was delighted by the whole situation. The vibrant young woman clutched the sunflower bouquet to her chest and beamed brightly. "Regardless, I think he's a kind man since his gift is just what Ren likes," she declared with enthusiasm, practically glowing at the thought of Renee's growing number of pursuers. In her mind, the more admirers Renee had, the better — it meant her dear friend was surrounded by people who recognized her worth.
Renee, however, had more pressing concerns. She shifted her attention to Leia, her brows knitting together in worry. "Stop that. What's going on with you?" She hesitated for a moment before asking cautiously, "Did you get back with that person? Don't let us affect your relationship..."
Leia's bright demeanor instantly wavered. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she stammered, "I... I'm not in a relationship with him, so it's fine." She fidgeted nervously, the flowers rustling in her hands. "I've ended things with that person," she admitted in a low voice, "and now I've got a new target that I'm going to start something with... Just wait and see!"
Renee studied her friend carefully, a gentle smile tugging at her lips. "Okay, I'll wait for your good news." She chose not to press further — she knew Leia well enough to understand that if there was real progress, Leia would come running to share every juicy detail immediately. The fact that she was being so secretive meant that nothing concrete had happened yet, and pushing too hard would only make her friend retreat further.
With a cheerful wave, Leia skipped out of Renee's ward, clutching the sunflower bouquet and inhaling its sweet fragrance with pure delight. The golden petals seemed to match her sunny personality perfectly, and she was so lost in her happy thoughts that she didn't notice where she was going.
*Thump.*
She walked straight into someone — a solid, warm chest that stopped her in her tracks.
Startled, Leia looked up, her happy expression freezing on her face. Standing before her was the very person they had just been talking about — Xavier Stuart.
Panic and irritation surged through her simultaneously. She instinctively pulled her clothes tighter around her body as if to shield herself from his gaze, then growled at him with barely contained fury. "What are you doing here? Are you stalking me, you pervert? Didn't I tell you that it was over between us?"
Xavier looked down at her, his eyes soft and warm, a gentle smile playing on his lips. There was no offense in his expression, only a tender amusement that made Leia's heart flutter against her will.
"It's been a while, my ex-girlfriend," he said, his voice smooth as velvet.
In truth, Xavier had come to see Stefan on business. It was pure coincidence that he had run into Leia here, in this hospital corridor. But fate had a funny way of bringing people together — and breaking them apart — and sometimes, despite all the pain and bitterness, the heart still remembered what it once loved.
Though they had broken up, something undeniable stirred in both their hearts the moment their eyes met. An electric tension crackled in the air between them, charged with memories neither could quite forget.
Leia quickly buried that flicker of emotion beneath waves of anger. "Don't say that, we're not that close." Her voice was cold, dismissive, but disappointment overwhelmed her as she recalled the things that had happened in the mountains. The memories flooded back — the danger, the vulnerability, the moments of intimacy that had seemed so real at the time — and she immediately felt irritated with Xavier for making her feel all of this again.
Xavier's smile only widened at her defensive behavior. "How cruel!" he teased, his tone light and flirtatious. "We slept together, didn't we? Of course that makes us close."
Leia's eyes went wide with shock and embarrassment. How could he say something so shameless so casually?!
Xavier found her flustered reaction absolutely adorable. He slowly stepped closer, closing the distance between them, his deep gaze locked onto hers as if trying to peer into her very soul. "I don't mind reminding you if you forgot how close we were."
Leia's breath hitched. Her heart hammered against her ribs like a wild caged bird. "How... how are you going to do that?" she managed to stammer out, her voice trembling slightly. Shaken by his overwhelming nearness, she subconsciously leaned backward, creating what little distance she could between them.
"I remember that my ex likes it when I kiss her against the wall," Xavier murmured seductively, his voice dropping to a husky whisper. He continued advancing, backing her step by step into the corner of the corridor until her shoulders touched the cold wall. Leaning over her, he loomed close enough that she could feel the warmth radiating from his body and catch the subtle scent of his cologne. "I don't mind helping you remember if you've forgotten..."
Leia's face burned crimson. Her heart was racing so fast she could barely breathe. "Idiot!" she cried out, raising her hand to slap him.
But Xavier was quicker. His hand shot up and caught hers mid-swing with practiced ease. Before she could react, he pulled her into his arms, his lips brushing against her ear as he whispered softly, "Aren't we close?"
Leia's entire body went rigid. Her heart threatened to burst out of her chest, each beat pounding like thunder in her ears. She bit her lip, her gaze darting away — unable to deny the truth of his words, and even more unable to ignore the feelings he was awakening in her again. The anger was still there, yes, but beneath it was something far more complicated — longing, confusion, and a spark of passion that refused to die.
The corridor echoed with silence around them, broken only by their breathing — and the storm of unresolved emotions swirling in the space between two people who had never truly let go.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Oh my, what a deliciously charged chapter! This installment gives us a perfect contrast of emotions — Justin's blissful ignorance over Stefan's nightly visits creates a delicious dramatic irony that has me biting my nails with anticipation. The moment he will eventually learn the truth is going to be explosive, and I can't wait to witness it! Meanwhile, the scene between Leia and Xavier is absolutely electric. Their chemistry leaps off the page, and Xavier's confident teasing meets its match in Leia's fiery resistance — but everyone can see she's not entirely opposed to his advances. You can just feel the unresolved tension crackling in the air between them. Will she give in to her feelings, or will pride keep them apart? This chapter masterfully balances comic relief, romantic tension, and underlying drama to keep readers completely hooked.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
Brace yourselves, readers! Based on the cliffhanger of Chapter 582, I predict that next chapter will see Leia and Xavier's intimate moment interrupted just as the walls between them begin to crumble — possibly by none other than Stefan himself, who would certainly have questions about why Xavier is lingering in the hospital corridors. Meanwhile, back in Renee's ward, I suspect Justin might have a chance encounter or overhear something that plants the first seed of doubt about his so-called "rival" being absent. And what about those mysterious flowers? Could they be another clue in a bigger scheme? With two couples hanging in emotional limbo and secrets threatening to surface, the next chapter promises intense confrontations and heart-pounding revelations!
