Renee had asked the doctor about it, but the doctor just told her that it was normal because patients who recovered from chronic diseases would face changes in their hormones. What they needed was good rest and encouragement from their families.

"Quinton, you must be hungry. Let me cut some fruits for you.� Renee pulled a chair over and used a knife to peel an apple for

Quinton.

�You're so nice to me," Quinton whispered as he stared at her.

"Huh?" Renee blinked at him, speechless.

"Quinton, I'm your sister �of course, I'll be nice to you."

"Yeah, no one else is nice to me except you." Quinton's face sank as he added softly, "It's nice to have a sister."

"Quinton, is everything okay? You've

changed a lot after the surgery. Is there anything troubling you?" Renee asked carefully.

She felt that his depression had more to do with his mental issues than his hormones.

"Maybe," Quinton answered sullenly.

"I saw a lot of things on the verge of death, including someone I thought I would never meet again... Maybe that's why I'm feeling down."

"The person you would never meet again...'' Clenching her fists, Renee yearned to ask Quinton if it was Joanne, but didn't, knowing it was a sensitive topic.

�Let's talk about you instead, shall we?" Quinton said suddenly and flashed a smile at Renee.

"I heard that the neurosurgeon operated on me because of Stefan. Do you owe him a favor now, or is it me?" While peeling the apple, Renee's hand shook, and she cut her finger.

It started bleeding.

Quinton's eyes grew wide, and he said anxiously, ''Renee, are you alright? Let me have a look." He tried to get out of bed, but Renee held him down.

She sighed and casually wrapped her finger with tissue.

"It's no big deal. I'm not that delicate." After that, she continued peeling the apple and cut it into small pieces.

She picked up a piece with a toothpick and handed it to Quinton. JrNovels.com
