Chapter 952

Stefan lay in the guest room of Carmine Pawnshop. His eyes were tightly closed, and his breathing was slow. He was still in a coma.“How long has he been in a coma?”

Renee forcefully exerted her weak body and rushed to the man’s bed before she asked in concern.

Her eyes inevitably turned red the moment she saw Stefan.

It was because she’d never seen him so weak before; it was as if anyone, even a three or four-year-old child, could kill him with great ease.

“You guys are rescued together. It’s already been three days.”

Quinton stood at the back with both hands in his pockets while making an honest reply.

“Didn’t you send him to the hospital? I’m sure a more professional hospital can save him, given his condition.

“Why didn’t you send him to the hospital?”

Quinton explained, “The first thing I did was got some people to rush you guys to the hospital, but those doctors were out of options. They claimed that you guys were dying, so I spent a lot of money to get a professional physician to save you. But… you’re now out of danger. Whether he can survive this will completely depend on him.”

“Humph! So, we need to thank you for saving us, huh?” Renee sneered and demanded.

She and Stefan turned out this way. It was impossible if she did not hate Quinton.

However, he was her closest family member. She could not hate him at all.

Hence, she was in a great dilemma. She had two different sides fighting against each other in her mind, so she was in excruciating pain.

Quinton was no fool. Of course, he noticed Renee’s complicated feelings. His handsome face also turned much more solemn.

“Sis, how did he bewitch you? You’re so loyal to him. Didn’t he betray you? Is it worth it to fall out with your brother for a scumbag?”

“I’m not loyal to him. I also won’t fall out with you. I just think that he’s not so bad as to have to pay with his life. Your means were too extreme. You’re just like a cold-blooded monster!”

Renee’s large eyes were full of tears. At last, she could not hold back but looked up at Quinton with the most accusing glare, expressing her deep agony.

“I sincerely and wholeheartedly accepted you from the moment we were reunited with each other. I felt sorrier for you after I heard about your miserable encounters. I secretly made up my mind to make it up to you properly and to let you feel the warmth of family, so I always trusted you boundlessly. I tried to understand you and even tolerated you…

“I understand your mercilessness, cruelty, and extreme means. Unexpectedly, you schemed against me…”

“Sis, why did you say that? Why did I ever use extreme means on you? I also made up my mind secretly that I want to protect you for the rest of your life!”

Quinton defended himself agitatedly. He was slightly angry.

“I thought you would do the same and tried all means to take revenge just like me after you were harmed by this man. Surprisingly, you feel so much for him. You even risked your life to save him!”

He clenched his fists tightly and stated with deep regret, “I would never order them to release those dangerous animals if I knew that you would jump into the water dungeon…”

“All right, it’s useless to say that now. Nothing can happen to Stefan regardless of the price I have to pay because…”

Renee sobbed and said, “Not only was he my past lover, but he is also my children’s father. I can’t let my dear children lose their father.”

“What? Your children?”

Quinton was shocked and surprised. He said excitedly, “So, you have kids. Why didn’t I receive any news? That’s wonderful! Our family has descendants, after all. That’s great…”

“Is it wonderful?
