In the past, Renee was always humble and respectful in front of Stefan. He controlled everything, and he would always do as he liked with her.

But their positions had changed now. Renee was the one who controlled the situation, and she easily affected Stefan�s emotions and forced him to yield to her demands� It was rather satisfactory from an onlooker�s point of view.

�You�re overthinking. We were never that close, and so many things have happened between us that things can�t go back to the way they were,� Renee said softly as she gazed into the distance. In the past, she might have had feelings for him, but after all these events, they had started to fade.

The only thing she wanted now was for her family to be safe and healthy-that was all that mattered.

After a while, they heard footsteps, and saw Robert walking towards them dressed in casual clothes and carrying a surgery kit.

�Doctor Cromwell, aren�t you going to treat my brother today? Why do you��

Renee looked at Robert�s attire in confusion. He didn�t look like someone who was about to perform surgery.

�Miss Everheart, Mr. Baldwin� I�m so sorry, I can�t treat him. The dean has arranged for someone else to take over, so you both can talk to the new attending doctor� I have something to do at home, so I�ll leave now.�

�What?� Renee�s eyes grew wide in shock.

�Didn�t you do a good job with the surgery? You saved him, so why are you giving up now?�

Haze frowned and said slowly, �Doctor Cromwell, tell me what�s wrong. I can increase your salary if you want.�

Robert smiled awkwardly and sighed. �Mr. Baldwin, I�m Old Master Baldwin�s private doctor, so I�ll work for the Baldwin family. Money�s not the reason I�m going� It�s just that there are powerful people involved, so I have no say in the matter.�

�Powerful people?� Renee took a step forward, looking concerned. �Who are they? Did someone threaten you?�

�You�ll know the truth eventually, but I assure you that they�re only trying to help cure your brother. Their intentions are good, so you don�t have to worry. I�ll take my leave now.� After that, Robert left the ward.

�Haze, what should we do now? Why did Robert leave like that? The medical team will be ruined if he leaves! Quinton is still in the ICU ward� Will he be stuck in a coma forever?�

Renee asked Haze anxiously, her gaze desperate and panicked.

Haze sighed. "Let's ask the dean about it.�

They both made their way to the dean�s office, where he was busy making calls and gathering the most exceptional doctors he knew to form a professional medical team.

When he saw Haze and Renee, he smiled broadly at them.

"Mr. Baldwin, Miss Everheart, you�re here. I want to discuss something with you.�

�Mr. Wilfred, what happened? Why did you remove Doctor Cromwell from the medical team? He�s my brother�s attending doctor and he saved his life! He should be in charge of the case,� Renee exclaimed in outrage.

If Quinton wasn�t hospitalized there, she would have lost it completely.

�Umm� We don�t want to delay Mr. Everheart�s treatment, so we�re going to get a better doctor to take over his case. We�re trying to help him wake up as soon as possible.� Ezra Wilfred didn�t dare to speak frankly since they had yet to succeed, and he couldn�t reveal that it had been Stefan�s order.

�Doctor Cromwell is very good, and he�s someone we trust too. I don�t think there�s anyone else more suitable than him. Can you put him back in charge?� Renee was firm. She had always suspected that Quinton�s accident was the result of someone�s scheme, and she trusted Haze�s doctor since he had saved Quinton�s life.

�Miss Everheart, please believe me when I say that there�s always someone better out there. Yes, Doctor Cromwell is good at performing surgery, but there�s someone more knowledgeable than him in neuroscience. Your brother couldn�t take the anesthesia, and the nerves in his brain have been damaged as a result. The neurosurgeon I�m looking for now is an expert in this field, and can definitely cure your brother,� Ezra patiently explained, trying to alleviate Renee�s worry. JrNovels.com
