�Fine, I�ll help you!� After Haze helped Renee sit down, he rushed to the operating room and kicked the door open. �Stop the surgery right now! I�ll kill anyone who moves!�

�Okay, we�ll stop!� The surgeon and his assistant immediately put down their scalpels and raised their hands while squatting on the floor. The surgery was over, and they just needed to stitch the wound, but Quinton had unexpectedly fallen into a coma when he had only undergone partial anesthesia.

A few minutes later, the doctor Haze had phoned earlier rushed into the room, gasping for breath. "Mr. Baldwin, what happened? I nearly had a heart attack trying to get here on time!�

Haze frowned then said briefly, �Mr. Cromwell, I�ll leave this in your hands. If you can save him, you�ll be the benefactor of my family, and you�ll be compensated well.�

�Don�t worry, I can save him.� Robert Cromwell quickly changed into a surgical gown and got to work. Renee was forced to wait again. She sobbed as she stared at the door of the surgery room. �Haze, is this doctor reliable? It�s my fault if anything happens to Quinton.� Haze said reassuringly, �If Mr. Cromwell said it�ll be okay, then it�ll be fine. Don�t worry.�

Before long, Robert came out of the operating room with a solemn expression, and Renee rushed over to him.

�Doctor Cromwell, how is my brother? Is he�� Renee clenched her fists, her heart pounding in her chest. She didn�t even dare to ask.

�Er, I don�t know how to tell you�� Robert frowned and sighed repeatedly.

�Oh no� he�s gone!� Renee wailed, nearly collapsing onto the floor. The doctor looked helpless, and that could only mean that Quinton must be�

�Mr. Cromwell, just tell us if he�s alive or not,� Haze snarled at Robert impatiently.

�When did this man become so dramatic?�

�Yes, he�s alive. You can rest assured.� Robert patted his chest confidently.

�I�ll have to stop being a doctor if I can�t save him in this kind of condition.�

�Why did you sigh then? It�s good news that he�s alive. You almost drove my friend mad!� Haze rolled his eyes in annoyance. He knew Renee was distraught, and delaying wouldn�t help anything.

�He�s alive, but it�s the same as being dead�� Robert sighed again as he said sadly.

�What� What do you mean?� Renee immediately became anxious again.

Robert hesitated for a long time, then finally said, �Yes, he�s out of danger, but his brain nerves are damaged because of the problem with the anesthesia. I can�t say how long he�ll be in a coma; it could take three days, five days, or even eight to ten years� You need to prepare yourselves for the worst.�

�Eight� to ten years?� Renee�s mind went blank. Her legs gave way, and she fainted.

�Phoenix!� Haze steadied her again, then carried her in his arms.

�Ren� Ren, are you okay?� Leia cried out, gripping Renee�s hand shakily. Overwhelmed with guilt, she sobbed,

�It�s all my fault! Quinton was fine, and if I didn�t suggest this, things wouldn�t have turned out this way. If he doesn�t wake up again, I� I can only give up my life too.�

�Okay, stop blaming yourself. All surgeries have risks, and this was completely unexpected. You and Phoenix need to calm down.�

Even as he comforted Leia, Haze looked down at Renee in worry.

"Don�t worry, Phoenix. I�ll never let anything happen to your brother."

Haze used his connections to transfer Quinton to the best hospital in Beach City. He even requested that Robert join the best medical team in that hospital to hasten Quinton�s recovery. JrNovels.com
