    Simrly, Chase had also suffered a lot.


    Once they got what they wanted, they went to a nearby hospital to treat their wounds and rushed back

    Quinton had tried to get in touch with Stefan, but there was no response from him.


    He figured that Stefan might be in a ce without any signal.


    He cut the call and took a deep breath to calm himself, then went to Everheart Manor.


    He hesitated before he went in.


    As Renee''s brother, he had failed to uphold his responsibility as head of the family.


    Not only did he fail to protect Renee, but he had caused her so much trouble.


    He felt ashamed to meet her, and stood outside the door for almost ten minutes.


    "Mr.Everheart, why aren''t you going in?"


    Chase asked Quinton carefully as they stood at the door of the manor.


    “I''m too ashamed to go in,"


    Quinton answered honestly.


    “Really?"


    Chase was shocked and touched that his solemn and aloof boss admitted his weakness to Chase.


    Honestly, Chase felt that Quinton had changed—he acted more humanely and considerately.


    He was no longer the radical and fierce man who was governed by hatred; he no longer behaved like


    an emotionless robot.


    “I''m her brother—I should have protected her.


    I should have ovee all obstacles and hardships for her, but after we reunited..."


    Quinton covered his face, looking dispirited.


    "I didn''t do any of that.I even made her suffer more! If I hadn''t been so obsessed with taking revenge


    on Stefan, he would have been a powerful ally, and there wouldn''t be so many troubles now."


    He had been keeping all these things to himself.


    He was a strong man who had spent arge part of his life on his hatred and taking revenge.
