Chapter 1264
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âFine.â Renee nodded.
âIâll go with you after this infusion,â Haze said.
âItâs fine. I can go on my own.â
âNo, you have to listen to me this time. If you donât finish this infusion, I wonât tell you which ward heâs in,â Haze insisted.
âHaze, youâ¦â Renee was helpless, so she just lay in bed again and waited for the infusion to be over.
Leia was relieved to see that Renee was fine. She gritted her teeth and seemed to have made a decision. âRen, you and Quinton should rest. Donât worry too much. Quinton will be fine⦠Iâve got something to deal with, so Iâll go now.â
Renee frowned, sensing that something was off. Leia was usually casual and optimistic, but now it seemed like something was weighing on her mind. âLei, is there something troubling you? Donât feel guilty because of what happened, I know you suggested the surgery with only the best intentions. Donât stress yourself out.â
âNo, thatâs not it.â Leia shook her head. âItâs a personal matter. Take care of yourself, and wait â She ran out of the ward before Renee could ask any more questions.
Renee sighed in worry as she watched Leia leave. âI know Lei, she must be blaming herself. Iâm worried that she might do something stupid.â
âWhy donât you stop worrying about others, and start worrying about yourself?â Haze touched her head lovingly. Most women were dependent, and could only rely on someone more powerful to survive, but Renee was different. She was the one others relied on. She was stubborn and strong, but he hoped that she would one day give him the chance to protect her and take care of her.
After half an hour, the infusion was almost over. The second it ended, Renee rushed out of the bed speedily.
âWait for me!â Haze howled and ran after her.
The ICU wards were in a different block, and they had to walk for a while before reaching the floor Quinton was on.
Haze was right-even family members were not allowed to visit the ICU patients. They could only stand outside and look into the ward through the large glass panes.
âQuintonâ¦â Renee saw Quinton lying motionless in bed, and felt her heart ache when she noticed the many tubes attached to his body and the thick bandages around his face.
âAlthough Quinton is still in a coma, thereâs good news. His face recovery surgery is successful, and if he wakes up, heâll be a whole new person,â Haze said enthusiastically.
