"I don't know. Quinton doesn't think like normal people." Renee knew Quinton was unstable, so she kept the incident of Joanne being bullied a secret from Quinton for fear that he might lose control and do something irreversible.Unexpectedly, she failed to keep Stefan from blabbing about it to Quinton. Standing behind them, Elijah made a guess. "Could he have brought them home?" "It's possible." Renee frowned and fished her phone out to call Margaret. Margaret sounded anxious, too. "Ms. Ren, what happened to you? Why aren't you at home?""There's no one at home?" Renee asked. "You, Mr. Everheart, and Ms. Garcia aren't at home. What happened?" Although Margaret was a servant, she was considered an elder at home. She regarded Renee and Quinton as her children.She had made breakfast early for them, but none of them came. Even Joanne was gone.The two children kept asking her where Renee and Quinton were. They were gone from the night before. Margaret had no idea how to ex
Renee, furious, interrogated the nurse. "How could you ask me? Shouldn't the hospital keep close watch over the patient? Why didn't anyone notice that she's gone?""I'm sorry. We were careless." The nurse felt that the hospital was being careless. "We thought the patient was resting. You guys took turns taking care of her. So, we didn't observe her well. After all, she was emotional and disliked people entering or exiting her ward." "That's enough. It's useless to talk about this now. Hurry up and get the surveillance video. Let's find out where she went." Renee waved her hand, not wanting to make things difficult for the nurse. She just wanted to find Joanne's location quickly. The nurse was right. Joanne was emotional. Anyone or any word could drive her mad. It was normal for the nurse to decrease the frequency of checking on Joanne after ensuring that her family was looking after her.Unexpectedly, a dispirited and dazed person would suddenly run away. After a while, Renee
"I see…" Renee nodded in enlightenment. She was not at all surprised because it was what Quinton would do.When she looked at his badly bruised face again, she no longer found Stefan miserable.After all, Quinton regarded Stefan as a delicate and weak pretty boy. To him, Stefan could not fight at all."If that's the case, Quinton must have brought that woman somewhere else. We have to find him." Renee frowned, anxious. She was eager to locate Quinton. From how Quinton handled things, Renee couldn't imagine how that woman would end up."Why don't we check out Joanne's ward first? Is it possible that Quinton had brought that woman here to apologize to Joanne?" Stefan made a rational analysis. It probably wouldn't mean anything if Quinton killed that woman. He would have a lot of methods to get that woman killed legally.Since he had not killed her, he must have other methods. It must be something much crueler than mere murder. After some contemplation, it seemed reasonable t
Stefan waved and said lightly, "Just ignore the details.""You're amazing. I admire you!" Renee bowed to Stefan.Since he had fought back, she didn't have to seek justice for him."By the way, did you see Quinton?" Renee looked around to try to locate Quinton but failed. He did not even answer her calls. She went to Joanne's ward, but did not find him there either."Oh, him…?" Stefan sounded ambiguous and pretentiously looked around. "Isn't he here?""You're asking the obvious." Renee rolled her eyes at him as a bad premonition gripped her. She frowned and interrogated him, "Did you tell him something?"Stefan braced himself and acted dumb. "Like what?""For example, you told him about Joanne being bullied." Renee did not want to tell Quinton who had bullied Joanne. Based on her understanding of Quinton's character, he would do extreme things and make things more complicated. Hence, she kept the secret hidden regardless of how many times Quinton had forced her. She hoped to
Elijah felt that such a scene was rare. As their top fan, he hoped to see them get lovey-dovey.Hence, he hurriedly explained on behalf of Stefan to defend the latter's dignity as a man.Although Stefan was weak and got defeated by that overweight man, Elijah had to say so to show off Stefan's power."So, who did he offend? Who was the fearless man to beat him up like this?" Renee gently pressed her palm against Stefan's cheek, feeling very sorry for him.She had the urge to beat up the person who had harmed Stefan, as if she were a parent whose child was bullied. However, she was worried that the bully was her brother. Hence, she asked carefully, "Was it my brother?""Oh, no. Of course not." Elijah hurriedly waved to eliminate Renee's tension. "Someone else beat him up. It was a street…""Stop babbling, Elijah." Stefan stopped Elijah when the latter was about to expose the truth. He glanced at Renee and said, "Don't worry. I'm fine. A business rival hired a fighter to take rev
Stefan looked at his wounds and shook his head. He said lightly, "I just need to bandage them. Right now, I need to find Quinton. I don't know what he'll do if he's out of his mind."Quinton had dragged Talia away. It was unknown where he would go and what he would do. If he did anything unforgivable, Stefan had no way to explain it to Renee."Where did he go?" Elijah knew how crazy Quinton was; after listening to Stefan's description, he was worried that Quinton might do something extreme. He felt that it was better to locate Quinton first. "I don't know. Let's go to the hospital first!" Stefan felt that Quinton might go to the hospital to stay with Joanne. Thus, he suggested checking the hospital out first."Sure, we can get your wounds treated." Elijah nodded and helped Stefan into the car. Soon, the two of them arrived at the hospital. Stefan went to the department of trauma to get his wounds treated. Then, he rushed to Joanne's ward. Coincidentally, he ran into Renee i
