Renee woke up in a hospital bed, and she stared at the white ceiling above her. Had she been dreaming?

�Ren, you�re awake. Thank God!� Leia had been by Renee�s side the whole time, and her eyes were swollen from crying.

"I thought something happened to you� You scared me!� Renee gently held Leia�s hand and smiled weakly.

�I just needed a nap. I�m fine.�

Haze had just finished a discussion with the medical team, and was overjoyed to see that Renee was awake when he walked into the ward.

�You�re finally awake. I�ll get you a medical team too if you need it.� He strode over to the bed and adjusted the transparent tube of the IV drip.

�The doctor said you were overly worried and your blood sugar was low, so you fainted. You need to take better care of yourself, or you might get anaemia.�

�I�m fine. I�m very healthy.� Renee pulled out the needle in her arm and shoved the blanket aside to get out of bed. She had been learning martial arts with her grandfather since young, so she was fit. She just had been through too much in the past two years, and after giving birth to two children, her body was not as strong as before.

She had only fainted, but she was put on an IV drip. It was very humiliating to her.

�Where�s Quinton? How is he? He�s awake, right?� She had been worrying about Quinton even while she was out, so the first thing she wanted to do after she woke up was ensure her brother�s safety.

�Your brother is fine, he just needs a bit of time to wake up. The medical team is discussing the best ways to treat him, and I believe they�ll come up with a solution soon,� Haze said lightly.

Quinton�s condition was actually much more serious than that, but he didn�t want to make Renee worry.

�Really� Where is he? I want to see him.� Renee knew that she had to face reality.

�He�s still in the ICU, and family isn�t allowed to visit him for now but� You can stand outside and watch. Maybe it�ll give you peace of mind.�

�Fine.� Renee nodded.

�I�ll go with you after this infusion,� Haze said.

�It�s fine. I can go on my own.�

�No, you have to listen to me this time. If you don�t finish this infusion, I won�t tell you which ward he�s in,� Haze insisted.

�Haze, you�� Renee was helpless, so she just lay in bed again and waited for the infusion to be over. Leia was relieved to see that Renee was fine. She gritted her teeth and seemed to have made a decision.

�Ren, you and Quinton should rest. Don�t worry too much. Quinton will be fine� I�ve got something to deal with, so I�ll go now.�

Renee frowned, sensing that something was off. Leia was usually casual and optimistic, but now it seemed like something was weighing on her mind.

�Lei, is there something troubling you? Don�t feel guilty because of what happened, I know you suggested the surgery with only the best intentions. Don�t stress yourself out.�

�No, that�s not it.� Leia shook her head. �It�s a personal matter. Take care of yourself, and wait � She ran out of the ward before Renee could ask any more questions. Renee sighed in worry as she watched Leia leave.

�I know Lei, she must be blaming herself. I�m worried that she might do something stupid.�

�Why don�t you stop worrying about others, and start worrying about yourself?� JrNovels.com
