Both Stefan and Renee had nothing else to say as they made their way back to the dock. The atmosphere was tense.When they arrived, the dock was full of rescue teams and cops, and Quinton, Leia, and the others were there as well. When they realized that Renee had disappeared, they suspected that she had gone to the island to save her child, so they gathered manpower and set off for the island. "Look at that yachtā¦ It looks like Ren and the others!" Leia said excitedly as she pointed at the white yacht slowly approaching the dock."Let me see!" Through his binoculars, Quinton saw Renee and Adie standing on the yacht. Tears of relief filled his eyes. "It's themā¦ It's really them." The yacht docked smoothly, and the first person to react was Leia. "Ren, Adie!" Leia shoved the people in front of her aside and dashed towards Renee and Adie.Renee looked at the many people gathered there and asked Leia awkwardly, "What are you guys doing here? Are you headed to the market?" "What
"Ummā¦" Renee didn't know how to react as Quinton was rarely this emotional. She said carefully, "Quinton, you're too anxiousāI'm not as weak as you think. Plus, as Adie's mother, I understand him better, so it'd be more effective if I went to rescue him." She didn't agree with Quinton's idea of sending Chase and others to the island. She knew he would be safe given his intelligence, and there had to be a reason why he was doing this. If they went to the island, they wouldn't have been able to bring him back. Renee didn't want to trouble Quinton and Chase with this."What kind of thinking is that?" Quinton frowned and said, "You lost so much blood for that lousy man and went into a coma, and your wounds haven't even healed, but you're telling me you're not weak? Are you trying to drive me insane?" He tapped Renee's head and said in frustration, "Why do you love to make me worry about you? Did I spoil you too much? I think I should get someone to watch you twenty-four hours a day." "I
Enraged, Quinton wanted to go after Stefan to teach him a lesson."Forget it, Quinton!" Renee hurriedly stopped her brother. "He's free to make his own choices; It isn't illegal for him to break up with me, so we have no right to guilt-trip him. We can lead a good life without him too!" Renee had thought things over, and now, she was looking forward to a bright future. She felt much more relaxed, like a burden had been lifted off her."Are you not upset at all?" Quinton turned to look at Renee, surprised to see her looking better than she had in a long time. She looked like she had emerged from a battlefield victorious, and it even made Quinton feel happy. However, Quinton knew that Renee and Stefan's bond was very deep, and it wasn't something that could disappear in a day or two. He wondered if she was just pretending. "Yes, I'm not." Renee smiled. "What's there to be upset about? He's not the only man in the world. I could get a great man if I wanted to since I'm still young. I
Quinton was worried because he had never seen Adie cry that vigorously. "Who knows?" Renee said grumpily, "It's been a while since he's gotten a beating, so maybe he wants one now. He made a mistake, but before I could scold him, he started crying. He's really getting better at throwing tantrums!""Okay, that's enough. Lei's rightāAdie is just a boy. He must have been scared yesterdayā¦ Let's go to the hospital. You both should get a proper check-up and rest for a few days," Quinton said finally, then made some arrangements, and drove Renee, Adie, and Tiffany to the hospital. When they reached the hospital, the doctor conducted full check-ups on them. Adie merely had a few scratches and was fine, but the doctor frowned when it came to Tiffany. The doctor took off his stethoscope and told Renee worriedly, "This girl's case might be a little bit more serious. Her parents should pay more attention to her.""What's her condition now?" Renee held Tiffany's hand and asked the doctor ner
Renee, however, had no idea who Tiffany's father was. She only knew her mother, who had kidnapped Tiffany and Adie, and unfortunately, she had died in the cave. Since Renee couldn't contact Tiffany's guardians, she had to take care of Tiffany temporarily. She led Tiffany to sit on the bench in the corridor, then held the little girl's hand and asked patiently, "Tiffany, tell me who your daddy is. Do you remember his contact number?"Tiffany didn't say anything, but her gaze grew colder as she looked at Renee. Renee knew that Tiffany resented her because she thought her hesitation indirectly killed Madelyn. She hadn't been able to save Madelyn in time, so she felt responsible for Tiffany and saw her as a daughter. "I know that you're mad at meā¦ so let me apologize. I should have been more decisive back then. If I rushed in there and dragged your mother out, she might still be alive... I'm so sorry," Renee sobbed, her head hung in grief.Once Quinton had finished getting Adie settled
Tiffany remained silent. Her gaze wavered a little as she clenched her fists, but she still didn't say anything.Renee didn't know if Tiffany was happy to hear that her father was coming. In fact, she almost seemed nervous.After around thirty minutes, Tiffany's father rushed into the hospital. He was a muscular man with glasses, and he looked like a refined person. "Tiffany!" He hugged Tiffany and asked anxiously, "Where have you been? You scared me!" Madelyn had not spoken to Damon the whole time she had kidnapped Tiffany, so Damon had no idea what Tiffany had gone through. He could only inform the police and search for her. Tiffany remained quiet, looking indifferent as he hugged her. Damon noticed something was wrong, and immediately took her pulse. He frowned, then turned to Renee and Quinton angrily. "What did you do to my daughter? She's terrified!"Renee's eyes widened when she recognized Damon as the physician who had saved Stefan on the yacht. "It's you?" If Damon hadn
"Is my body really that magical?" Renee asked in surprise, and Stefan came to mind again. I must be because of those precious herbs he had risked his life for. She felt grateful to him, and her resentment slowly ebbed away. Although they couldn't be together, they peacefully separated with love and respect for each other. It was considered a good ending too."Yeah, that's right!" Damon looked at Renee excitedly. "If we experiment on your bones or blood, it'll be a huge breakthrough for the medical field!" Quinton immediately stood in front of Renee protectively, glaring at Damon angrily. "What kind of crap is that? My sister is a human being, not a lab rat. How can you even think of using her for experiments? If you dare to try it, I'll experiment on you!""Calm down, sir, it was just a theory. I wouldn't do experiments on people." Damon hurriedly smiled and explained himself. "That's not the issue right now. You should get Tiffany hospitalized first. The doctor said she needs to
"She was kidnappedā¦" After hesitating briefly, Renee decided to tell Damon the truth. "The kidnapper was your wife.""Oh, I see..." Damon frowned, not looking surprised at all. "I figured as much since she and Tiffany went missing together. I was waiting for her to get in touch with me, but I didn't expect her to go crazy and kidnap my daughter. She's really lost her mind... By the way, where is she?" He looked around. "S-She's dead!" Renee admitted. "She took the kids to a deserted island, but there was a hurricane, so they hid in a cave. We got away, but she didn'tā¦" Renee told Damon everything, hoping he would resolve things. "She's dead?" Damon's expression changed briefly, then he shrugged indifferently. "She's been wanting to die for a long time now. Maybe this was what she wanted.""What?!" Renee's eyes bulged in disbelief. Damon's wife had died such a miserable death, but he was so calm. What kind of family was this? "She was your wife. Aren't you sad at all? Don't you wa
