What was so special about that woman? Why did he feel like they were bound together at first glance? It was very strange, and he yearned to figure it out.

�Mr. Hunt, don�t worry. Miss Garcia is doing just fine. She�ll recover and be discharged from the hospital in a week if nothing goes wrong.� Joanne�s attending doctor explained carefully.

�But her body is weak. It seems like something�s troubling her, so she�s not trying to stay alive. She doesn�t eat much either, and just relies on the IV drip to survive. It�s all a bit complex� it�d be good if you could give her some moral support.� Stefan nodded. �Thank you, I�ll do that then.�

The hospital dean and Joanne�s doctor walked with Stefan for a while until they arrived at Joanne�s ward. Stefan was about to send them off, but suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, why did Renee come to this hospital?�

�Miss Everheart?� The hospital dean remembered Renee, but mostly because of Justin. �She came with Mr. Baldwin. It seems like something went wrong with her brother�s surgery, so they rushed him here as an emergency case. His attending doctor was hired by Mr. Baldwin though. He made a medical team with the doctors here.�

�Something went wrong with his surgery?� Stefan frowned and asked, �What happened?�

�It was an accident during a face recovery surgery. The patient couldn�t take the anesthesia and fell into a coma. It�s quite serious,� a doctor from the team adjusted his glasses and said fearfully.

�I see.� Stefan�s features relaxed into comprehension.

'Something had gone wrong with Quinton, and Justin had happened to help her at that time, so she felt touched and hugged him. She had only done it out of gratitude.'

Stefan�s mood immediately lifted. Women were easily moved, and they�d feel grateful even if it was just a small favor. Maybe if he hired an expert doctor to cure Quinton, Renee might throw herself at him.

He thought about it, then said to the dean seriously, �There�s something I need you to do for me�you must find the best doctor around to cure her brother. There�s no limit to the fee. As for the medical team, you have to stop them for now."

�Umm�� The dean looked conflicted.

"We do know an expert in this field, but Mr. Baldwin set up this team, so it might upset him if we suddenly change it.�

�You�re worried about upsetting him? What about upsetting me?� Stefan�s gaze turned icy, and his aura became menacing.

The dean went pale, and swallowed nervously. �I understand, Mr. Hunt. Please let us handle this.�

�Make sure the effectiveness of your doctor surpasses Justin�s,� Stefan added casually as he walked away.

�Don�t worry, Mr. Hunt. We�ll do our best.� The dean gritted his teeth and decided to use all his resources and connections for this task. The Hunt family ruled Beach City; they�d rather take their chances with an angry Justin than an angry Stefan.

Stefan was silent, but he was no longer upset. �Wait for me, Renee� You�ll be crying tears of gratitude once this is done.�

Renee returned to Quinton�s ICU ward. Haze was waiting there, and he peered at her intently as if he were appraising a piece of art.

Feeling uneasy, she frowned and asked, �Why are you looking at me like that?�

Haze gave her a goofy smile. �It�s because you�re pretty.�

Renee rolled her eyes and raised her hand threateningly. "Watch your tongue.�

�Don�t!� Haze pushed her palm down and suppressed his smile.

�You behave differently around him now. How do I put this� It�s like your feelings for him have faded, and you don�t love him as much now. Does it mean that there�s a higher chance of you falling in love with me?� JrNovels.com
