Chapter 500

How would I know where I am going? Shawn didn't tell me anything at all! "I have no idea. Shawn saidhe 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 enjoyingthe breeze. I quickly went over and wrapped my arms around his neck. Pressing my cheeks againsthis, 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 inexchange 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 neveragree 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 thecall and asked, "What's the matter?"

"President Felix, I managed to replace 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, PresidentFelix. The result of whether it matches or not was only released this morning, so I'm calling you rightnow."

"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 shockedme 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 attimes. 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," hemurmured 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 shouldtry 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 beseen 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 fewbottles 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 removedhis 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 somebig moves."

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

Shawn finally admitted that this vacation was a honeymoon!

"I am overjoyed," I said with a broad smile on my face.

He kissed me on the forehead and asked, "Why?"

"Because you said this is our honeymoon."

I was truly an easily satisfied person.

"Let's get ready to leave now."

"Didn't you say we will be leaving in the afternoon?" I asked.

"Since Mr. Briar is here early, we'll leave early."

Closing the luggage, I inquired again, "Where are we going?"

Shawn, however, did not answer. He turned around, dragging my two luggage cases, while I draggedhis and followed behind. We took the elevator down because we had too many things with us.

The nanny had left with the two children. Leon and Tamara were not in either, leaving the house emptywith only the two puppies running around. "Be good at home," I said as I squatted down and strokedthe puppies' heads.

Shawn went out first and I quickly followed. When Waylen saw me, he quickly approached me and tookthe luggage from me.

We then boarded the helicopter. However, Waylen did not follow us. Instead, he stood back andshouted, "Have a great time, Mrs. Xenos!"

Shawn had absolute trust in Waylen. He even told him about our vacation, which meant that Shawnwas confident that Waylen would never betray him.

"I'll bring you some presents, Mr. Briar!"

He laughed at what I said. "I'm afraid that will be difficult."

I had no idea what he meant at this point. It wasn't until we were on our way that I realized Shawn wastaking me to an isolated island. He even tried to be diplomatic by saying, "We now have our own world.You can even be naked here."

We sat in the helicopter for an hour before arriving at the airport, where we were supposed to takeanother two-hour private flight.

After the flight, we got on a cruise ship that took us about half an hour.

Finally, after such a long journey, we arrived on an island.

It was warm, the sun wasn't scorching hot, and the sea was crystal clear.

I grabbed Shawn's arm as I stepped off the cruise ship and into the water. "We'll enjoy this later," hesaid while tightly clutching my waist.

"Okay. It's cool here."

Someone from the cruise ship came down and carried our luggage for us. There was a small woodenhouse not far away from the shore. I saw another wooden house on the sea, with a long, windingcorridor. Shawn instructed the men to carry our luggage to that wooden house.

I gripped his arm and asked, "Are we staying on the sea?"

"Yes. This wooden house on the shore is the kitchen."

"Why did you choose a beach for our honeymoon? Your wound hasn't completely healed, so you canonly see me having fun in the water these few days."

"You are truly a windbag, Mrs. Xenos," Shawn said with his gaze lowered.
