"The person you would never meet again...'''' Clenching her fists, Renee yearned to ask Quinton if it was


    Joanne, but didn''t, knowing it was a sensitive topic.


    “Let''s talk about you instead, shall we?" Quinton said suddenly and shed a smile at Renee.

    "I heard that the neurosurgeon operated on me because of Stefan.


    Do you owe him a favor now, or is it me?" While peeling the apple, Renee''s hand shook, and she cut


    her finger.


    It started bleeding.


    Quinton''s eyes grew wide, and he said anxiously, ''''Renee, are you alright? Let me have a look." He


    tried to get out of bed, but Renee held him down.


    She sighed and casually wrapped her finger with tissue.


    "It''s no big deal.


    I''m not that delicate." After that, she continued peeling the apple and cut it into small pieces.


    She picked up a piece with a toothpick and handed it to Quinton.


    "Eat this." Quinton obeyed her and bit into the apple.


    After that, he said, " Don''t avoid the subject.


    How should we return Stefan''s favor?" “It''s unnecessary." Renee gritted her teeth, her eyes cold.


    "It''s what he should do.


    After all the things he''s done, it''s already generous of you to keep him alive." "You can''t say that."''


    Quinton''s expression wasplicated, and he sighed deeply.


    "I''ve been fighting him for so many years, and there''s always so much damage done after.


    We''re even now, especially since he willingly hired an expert todo my surgery.


    He really is quite a generous man; I''ll look ungrateful if I keep holding on to past grudges." “Ugh,


    Quinton, you..." Quinton’s change caught Renee off guard, and she looked frustrated.


    "Before this, you told me you wanted to fight him until the end.


    What''s with the sudden change? Do you want to be his friend instead?" Renee had struggled to get


    them to stop fighting each other back then, but now it was Quinton who wanted to make peace with


    Stefan.


    It filled her with trepidation.


    "No, I won''t be his friend, but...


    I think there''s no need for us to keep fighting.


    After all, I can''t shift all the me to him for what happened that year." Quinton frowned deeply.


    Even though he didn''t want to recall the past, it was the objective thing to do.


    After his perception changed, many things became clearer.


    “Umm...


    what are you referring to?" Renee asked carefully.


    "Are you trying to say that he was innocent?" Quinton stared at her strangely, then shook his head.


    "Forget it.


    It was so long ago, and it''s no longer important who''s at fault.


    Since you guys have buried the hatchet, you can make peace and stay out of each other''s lives."


    Renee, however, was still angry at Stefan for what he did to Quinton, but she had to hide it from


    Quinton.


    If not, Quinton would not stop fighting against Stefan.


    The best oue was to live separately.


    It was clear to her now that her previous fantasy of seeing their families be close again was just


    wishful thinking.


    “No, you must never stay out of his life." Quinton looked at Renee apologetically.


    "I knew that it was very hard on you after we reunited.


    You had a bright future with him but I...


    It was all my fault, so I hope you can follow your heart regardless of me.


    I won''t stop you no matter what choice you make."
