Chapter 148

Mizuki Sei
Stefan woke up the next day with his head weighing a million pounds.

He looked around and saw Elijah sitting in front of the bed, observing him with a frown.

"Mr. Hunt, you’re finally awake. My mission is done. I can leave now." He let out a sigh of relief and seemed excited.

With Stefan completely out of it last night, all he could do was guard him the entire night. Elijah feared that Briar, who was yearning for a chance with Stefan, would sneak in and take advantage of the man while he was

    Quinton's words made Joanne frown. She felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything.Renee glanced back at Joanne and immediately softened. She could only shrug helplessly. "You're right. I'm not worried about the kids. I'm worried about Joanne. I'll stay.""That's more like it." The seriousness on Quinton's face finally eased into a smile. He turned and left with peace of mind.Joanne watched him leave, and her shoulders slumped in defeat. She muttered under her breath, "Seriously? In your eyes, am I even more useless than an elementary school kid? Does someone really need to stay here just to take care of me?"She hated being treated like a child who needed special attention.Staying with the Everheart family already made her feel indebted. Now she felt like a burden, someone who only caused trouble for them."Needing someone to take care of you doesn't mean you're useless. It just means we care about you a lot. Your emotions really aren't stable yet. You shouldn't

    "Alright, it's just a painting. Let's eat."Although Quinton acted indifferent about the painting and urged Renee and Joanne to keep eating, he was actually very concerned. He kept trying to recall where he'd seen it before.Suddenly, a memory surfaced in his mind. It was the first time he ever saw the painting. The realization hit him so hard that his plate slipped from his hand and crashed on the floor."What's wrong, Quinton? Did you recall something?" Renee noticed how distracted he seemed and asked in a nervous tone."N-Nothing." Quinton grabbed another plate and kept his head down while he ate. He didn't seem to want her to notice his strange behavior. "Hurry up and eat."Renee could tell he was intentionally hiding something, but she didn't press further. They were both distracted for the rest of the meal.Soon, it was time to pick up the kids from school.Recently, Renee had been busy with Azure Group, so Quinton and Joanne had been the ones picking them up.She assumed

    Renee looked at Quinton curiously when she noticed his serious expression. "What's wrong, Quinton? Do you have thoughts about this?" Quinton frowned. It seemed like he was struggling to recall something. "I feel like I've seen this painting before.""You've seen it too?"Renee's heart skipped a beat. She looked troubled. "How could you have seen it? This painting had always been part of Mom's personal collection. It'd been in our old house the entire time. Before we reunited, you'd never even had contact with the Everheart family."Quinton shook his head. Fragmented memories seemed to enter his mind. It left him feeling confused."I don't know. I just feel like I've seen it before. I need to think."He stared at the painting while trying to recall more. Suddenly, he froze as if he had uncovered an unbelievable secret."What is it? Did you recall something?" Renee sensed something was off with Quinton and quickly asked.Quinton avoided her gaze and changed the subject. "How a

    "Hey, I'm fine. Don't touch me. Don't…"Joanne clearly wasn't used to Quinton's touch. Standing on the stool, she instinctively resisted, but she lost her balance in the process and fell straight into his arms.They locked eyes. For a moment, it felt like time itself had stopped.The way Joanne looked at Quinton was unlike the fear and hesitation she used to have. There was now something else mixed in.Meanwhile, from the way Quinton looked at her, it was obvious his heart went out to her.Renee stood off to the side like an audience member in a romcom flick. She covered her mouth to hide her grin, and she was screaming on the inside. 'They're truly childhood sweethearts. I'm so here for this!'"Ahem! Quinton, aren't your arms getting tired? If they are, maybe you should put Joanne down first."Renee finally spoke up after a few minutes. Seeing how the two were locked in the same pose, she decided she had to interrupt."Oh! Right, right!"The two of them snapped out of it at

    "Of course!" Joanne exclaimed.Although she had no idea what kind of help Renee needed, she happily followed Renee into the bedroom.After tidying up for a while, Renee carefully retrieved an ancient painting from a box. She began studying the room and trying to decide where to hang it."Wow, this painting is beautiful! The woman in it has such an elegant presence," Joanne said.She leaned in to look at the painting. She was just as captivated as Renee and Leia had been before."Yeah. Chase gave it to me. I want to hang it in my room. Where do you think it would look best?"Renee treated the painting like family. She was determined to place it just right."Over here. Right across the window. When the sun comes in, the light will hit it perfectly. It'll look even better."Joanne pointed to the wall directly across from the window. That section of the wall happened to be empty. It was almost as if it had been left empty for this exact painting."We really do think alike. That's

    In the end, Renee returned to Everheart Manor with the painting.After Renee had spent a night out camping, everything was back to normal at Everheart Manor.Her kids were growing up fast, and they were becoming more sensible by the day. They hardly caused any trouble for the adults anymore.By the time Renee got home, they had already gone to school. Quinton and Joanne had taken them there together and were now returning side by side.At a glance, the kids almost looked like they were born to the both of them."Quinton, Joanne, thank you for helping me take care of Adie and Abby these past few days. I honestly don't know what I would've done without you."Looking at Quinton and Joanne, Renee's gratitude was written all over her face.Ever since Margaret's accident, she had been like a headless chicken. She was juggling the company's affairs on one hand while managing the kids' daily needs on the other. She even had to find time to investigate the truth behind the Everheart fami

    Renee thought that Stefan would stay, but he just paused briefly before leaving. It was almost like he had never been there at all. Feeling drunk and dizzy, Renee just laid back on the bed, eventually falling asleep. She hoped that it had all just been a dream, but after avoiding this for so long, s

    Meanwhile, Renee had unplugged the infusion tube and left from the window ages ago. She was making her way to the island where Adie was. She knew that the others wouldn't let her leave the hospital in her current condition, but there was no way she could stay there and leave Adie alone during a hurr

    Tiffany watched Madelyn with teary eyes, then said carefully, "Mommy, I love you. I've always loved you. I've never been mad at you… and I've wronged my brother. Can you forgive me?" She was just a child, but she understood Madelyn's mood swings and feelings toward her. She did not blame Madelyn, an

    Xavier's eyes widened in despair. "I care so much about you, but you're trying to kill me?" Phones were even more private than one's body, and they couldn't simply be exposed to people."You took a risk and lost. You should be punished since you lost the game..." Impatient, Leia urged, "Stop wasting
