Chapter 1678

A day had passed, and the atmosphere in Everheart Manor was tense. Everyone in the manor lookedsolemn.

"Today is the last day. Where's Stefan?" Owen looked up at the calendar on the wall in the living room,and a worried sigh escaped him.

"It's hard to tell.” Quinton clenched his fists, then scoffed, "I've always said that he’s just an incapablepretty boy. Don't count on him-we have to come up with something else."

Owen hung his head in regret. "If I hadn’t told him about the four herbs, he wouldn't have risked his lifesearching for them, and things wouldn't have ended up like this. We didn't get the herb, and now he'smissing."

"It's too late to say that now!" Xavier slammed his fist on the table and snarled, "What kind of a doctorare you? Are you trying to save lives or end them? Stefan wanted to dig people's eyes out because ofyour words, and now, thanks to you, we don't even know if he's alive!" He stood up and grabbedOwen's collar fiercely. "Tell US the truth-who the hell are you? Did that scumbag Jovan send you hereto trick Stefan?"

Xavier was the most worried about Stefan's safety in the manor. He hadn't known about the herbs; if hedid, he would never have let Stefan take such a risk. Even fools could tell that those herbs didn't exist,but Stefan was out there risking his life to get them as fast as he could. It was courting death, and hecouldn't believe that everyone else had agreed to it. Did they even care about Stefan's safety? "Yeah,Renee's life is important, but isn't Stefan's too? Do you have to exchange his life for hers? This is justlike before-you wanted to take Shirley's eyes and give them to Renee. Do you think that's right? All ofyou are wicked!"

Xavier then turned to Quinton and pointed at him accusingly. "I know what you're planning-you've beenfighting Stefan for so many years, and

somehow happened to appear right when he went looking for that lousy pearl. I'm sure you must haveconspired with this quack to harm Stefan!"

Quinton had always been short-tempered, and he didn't like Xavier accusing him. He snapped, "Don'ttalk nonsense! If I wanted to fight Stefan, I'd do it openly. Why would I go to the trouble to do all this?"

"Openly? Hmph!" Xavier still held a grudge against Quinton for harming Stefan back then, and didn'thesitate to bring it up. "To be honest, you're the cause of all this. You nearly killed Stefan, but hebegged someone to save you... I don't know how you can show your face here. If I were you, I wouldhave killed myself!"
