"Umm... I'll try my best," Quinton replied reluctantly. In the past, he had always dreamed of making a comeback and avenging the parents he had never met before. However, after surviving this disaster, he was no longer as vengeful as he used to be.Chase's disappearance had dealt a great blow to Carmine Pawnshop, and Quinton's position in Beach City wasn't as strong as it was before. Plus, if he wanted to take revenge, there would be collateral damage, and Quinton didn't want to harm his family and friends. He preferred spending peaceful days with his family than fighting; more than anything, he didn't want to lose his family. "What? You're a man, so you should act like one! Your grandfather and father were famous and mighty in Beach City, but how is it that you're such a wimp? You should act like the grandson of a general you are!" Levi was very close to Theodore Everheart, Renee's father, and had been planning to avenge his cousin. He always felt that Renee shouldn't get involved

Quinton felt conflicted as he turned to look at Renee, but ultimately decided not to hide anything. He nodded slowly and admitted, "You really do know me best. You can always tell what's on my mind." "Before this, nobody could even say Joanne's name in front of you, and you were very fierce to me the first time I did. But now... that's no longer the case. You're obsessed with her, and it seems like she has full control of your feelings." Renee didn't know why he had changed so much, especially when it came to his feelings for Joanne. She didn't know if she should tell him the truth or not. Things would be better if Quinton stopped hating Joanne, but Joanne would be in danger if the news of her survival was exposed."Maybe my mind changed after I nearly got killed twice," Quinton remarked casually. "Why?""I was filled with hatred the first time I almost got killed. I told myself that I must survive to take revenge, but this time… I was full of love for all of you. I told myself t

"I..." Renee looked down guiltily. "I was unsure what Joanne would face if I told you.""And are you sure now?" Quinton asked her quietly.Renee pursed her lips and answered, "At least I know that you won't hurt her, and that you'll protect her forever.""Who knows," he replied cryptically, clenching his fists.Renee's eyes widened in surprise. "What do you mean? You said hating is harder than loving, and that you want to move on. Why are you saying this now?""I did want that, but it's not something I can decide on my own..." Quinton looked into the distance, sounding sorrowful. "Resentment isn't easy to resolve; she may not want to fix things even if I do.""Oh, that's what you're worried about." Renee sighed in relief when she realized that Quinton didn't hate Joanne. "Don't worry, though Joanne may hate you, she still cares about you. If not, she wouldn't have whispered your name when she almost died. I know her too, so I can talk to her and help you both meet." Renee wanted

Renee soon found Joanne's attending doctor. "Doctor, may I know where the patient in ward 1206 is? Did she move to another ward?" She remembered Joanne's ward, which happened to be on the same floor as Quinton's former ward. However, both Quinton and Joanne had never got to see each other even if they were only a few dozen meters apart.The doctor was not surprised by Renee and Quinton's visit, and even seemed as if he had been waiting for them. He adjusted his glasses and told them calmly, "You're late—Miss Garcia has already been discharged from the hospital.""What? She's been discharged?" Renee spluttered, feeling her hope fade. "Wasn't her case pretty serious? I heard that she has to be hospitalized for at least three months, and it's only been around two weeks since then. Why was she discharged? Can her body take that?""Well, I couldn't say anything since it was the patient's choice. I did try to dissuade her, but she insisted. I can only respect her wishes.""It was her i

"Baby?" Quinton's gaze turned cold, and he sneered, "That was my last regret. That baby was a sin, and had no right to come into this world, but she foolishly wanted to deliver it… I would never have let her do such a stupid thing."Quinton's sudden change scared Renee. She swallowed nervously, feeling like she was walking on eggshells. "But why? Since you and Joanne cared so deeply for each other, why didn't you want a child with her? Why—""Shut up!" Quinton shot her a fierce glare. "Stop asking about it! If you really cared about me as a sister, you wouldn't reopen my wounds just to satisfy your curiosity!" After that, he got out of the car and stormed off.Speechless, Renee helplessly watched him leave. She could tell that this was what was troubling Quinton and Joanne. However, only they knew the real story, and if they refused to talk about it, it would torture them forever as it grew worse.After dwelling on it, Renee felt that she could only resolve this issue after locatin
