After Leia and Renee walked out of the ward, Leia pulled Renee to a corner near the stairs. “That ring...


    It''s Stefan’s, right?"


    "Yes." Renee nodded tiredly, unable to run from the truth any longer. “I''m sure you''ve gained some


    information, right?”


    Leia knew that she could no longer hide it since things had turned out this way. She could only tell


    Renee everything she knew. "I''d been wondering if someone had done this on purpose after something


    went wrong with Quinton''s ident. So, I went to the medical staff and interrogated them."


    "What did they say?” Renee asked cautiously.


    "That nurse imed that the main surgeon received a call before Quinton’s surgery telling him to do the


    surgery well or something like that. The caller was Shirley, so I went to find her and confront her. She


    imed that it was Stefan''s order..." Leia told Renee everything. "I thought Shirley was just trying to


    create problems, so I wanted to get more evidence first, but... it seems that the evidence came to us.


    When I saw the ring, I knew I had to tell you.”


    "Thank you, Lei. I could have guessed it even if you didn''t tell me. I was just fooling myself and didn''t


    want to ept the truth. I always thought that he wasn''t that bad...” Renee admitted, her heart aching.


    "We can''t me you or him. After all, he''s forgotten everything about you, so you don''t mean anything


    to him anymore. It''s not odd that he would do something like this for the sake of profit,” Leia said


    hesitantly, unsure of how to console Renee.


    "Yeah, I know he''s forgotten about me. I''m the only one who keeps holding on to the past. It''s my fault!"


    Renee took a deep breath, fighting back tears.


    "What are you going to do now? Are you going to talk to him?" Leia asked, feeling sorry for Renee.


    "I haven''t thought about it yet...” Renee leaned back against the wall and looked up at the ceiling,


    smiling bitterly. "It''s meaningless either way. It would be stupid of me to still hope that he and my


    brother can stop fighting.”


    Renee wanted to be alone, so she went to the hospital''s garden downstairs. She sat in front of the


    pond and watched it quietly.


    Leia did not follow her. She knew that it was useless to worry; she had to wait for Renee to make a


    decision.


    Renee sat there the whole night. The stars appeared, and moonlight illuminated the pond. She sat


    there alone like an emotionless statue. A cold breeze toyed with her hair, and she hugged her arms,


    suddenly realizing how cold she was.


    Someone draped a coat on her shoulders, and when she turned around, she found that it was Justin.


    "Phoenix, you''ve been sitting here for hours. Aren''t you tired?


    “I‘ll carry you back, okay?" Justin had both of his hands in his pockets as he smiled gently at her.

    "When did you get here?” She whispered guiltily as she looked up at him.
