Justin stiffened, his eyes widening. "What… What did you say?"
"I'm saying that you're a spy! You probably ordered someone to harm my brother. If not, why did this happen right after we left to eat at the cafeteria?" Renee demanded hoarsely, her eyes watery. She and Justin were the only ones aware of Quinton's condition. On the surface, Justin appeared to be taking good care of her. Maybe he was doing it on purpose to divert her attention so someone could harm Quinton. After all, he was a Baldwin. Everyone knew how ambitious the Baldwins were. They might want to take Quinton's place after getting rid of him.
Leia tugged on Renee's sleeve and urged her softly, "Ren, that's too harsh. There's no way he could be a spy. If he was, he wouldn't have spent so much time on you, and would have gotten rid of Quinton long ago. The real spy is someone else..."
Renee turned to look at Leia immediately. "Do you know something about this?"
"I..." Leia clenched and unclenched her fists hesitantly, not sure if she should tell Renee the truth.
At that moment, the medical team that was working on Quinton came out of the ward.
"Doctor, how is my brother?" Renee ran to the doctor, deciding to talk to Leia later.
"Thankfully, we got to him in time. The patient is fine, and all his vital signs are back to normal."
"You... Alright then, just wait out here." Leia knew that he was hurt by Renee's accusation, but she couldn't say much under such circumstances. She could only try to persuade Renee after Quinton woke up, or else, Renee would doubt Leia too.
It was now eight o'clock at night, and Renee hovered by Quinton's bedside nervously.
Quinton had been in a coma for nearly half a month. At that moment, his fingers moved slightly and he opened his eyes.
"He's awake! It's a miracle! Ren, look—Quinton's awake!" At first, Leia had doubted that scumbag Stefan and Dr. Wagner, but now, Quinton had actually woken up!
