“I’m sorry.
I don’t want to be cruel, but I just need you to be in a coma so Flossie can learn her lesson.
I didn’t expect you to be so tough.
Halston even helped hire Owen for you…” Her eyes flashed in anger.
“You should blame your shameless sister for this.
She’s been pestering Halston relentlessly even though he’s engaged to me, so unfortunately, you have to suffer the consequences!” After that, she avoided the surveillance cameras and left the hospital quietly.
Meanwhile, in the cafeteria, Flossie was staring at the food uneasily.
“Flossie, it’s your favorite cake from Golden Time! No matter how hard I tried, I could never buy it, but here it is.
Mr. Baldwin…
you’re awesome! I really admire you,” Leia said excitedly to Justin who was seated opposite them.
“Well, it is hard to buy, but where there’s a will, there’s a way.
Phoenix likes it, and she needs to eat as much as possible,” Justin scratched his head and explained helplessly.
He had done everything he could to get Flossie to eat more these past few days.
Leia smiled at him teasingly.
“Go ahead and spoil her.
I’m sure you’ll make Flossie chubby in a few weeks if you keep this up!” “Well, that’s not a bad idea.
How cute she’d look!” Leia and Justin chatted happily, but Flossie remained silent.
She suddenly stood up with a frown.
“I have to go back and check on him.” “Flossie, you haven’t eaten anything yet.
You…” “Don’t worry about me, you guys eat first!” Flossie waved at them and quickly returned to her brother’s ward.
Things usually went wrong right before the end, so she didn’t dare to stay away for too long.
“ventilator! Get the ventilator! The patient isn’t breathing.
Hurry! “W Flossie saw a lot of nurses standing in Quinton’s ward and rushing about, and her mind went blank.
She rushed over frantically and grabbed a nurse.
“What happened? He was fine just now, so why isn’t he breathing?” “We don’t know either.
Someone took off the patient’s oxygen mask, so he stopped breathing temporarily.
We’re trying our best to save him.” “What? He stopped breathing? Someone took off his oxygen mask?” Flossie could not accept it, and collapsed on the cold floor.
“Phoenix!” “Flossie! w Both Justin and Leia rushed over, panicked.
“I knew something would happen…
Oh, why did I leave? Now, my brother is dying!” Flossie wailed, then turned to Justin hysterically, her eyes wild.
“Are you a spy? You lured me away so someone could harm my brother, right?!”
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?” Flossie 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 Flossie’s sleeve and urged her softly, “Flossie, 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…”
Flossie 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 Flossie the truth.
At that moment, the medical team that was working on Quinton came out of the ward.
“Doctor, how is my brother?” Flossie 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.”
“Oh, thank goodness. I was so scared…” Flossie heaved a sigh. The last few days had been a roller coaster ride of emotions. She just wanted everything to go smoothly and end soon, or else, her body would surely fail her.
“You guys can go in and see him. Dr. Wagner said the patient will wake up soon,” the doctor said to Flossie.
“Great!” Flossie immediately entered Quinton’s ward with Leia behind her. Justin was left standing outside with a solemn expression.
“Justin, aren’t you coming?” Leia turned and asked him.
“No, I don’t think I should.” His head was low, and his tone was miserable.
“You… Alright then, just wait out here.” Leia knew that he was hurt by Flossie’s accusation, but she couldn’t say much under such circumstances. She could only try to persuade Flossie after Quinton woke up, or else, Flossie would doubt Leia too.
It was now eight o’clock at night, and Flossie 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! Flossie, look-Quinton’s awake!” At first, Leia had doubted that scumbag Halston and Dr. Wagner, but now, Quinton had actually woken up
“Flossie…” Quinton moved his fingers as a tear rolled down his cheek. “I’ve let you down. You must have suffered a lot worrying about me.”
“Don’t say that. I should take care of you since you’re my brother. I’m… I’m just glad you’re awake!” Flossie sobbed as she laid beside him.
“I know that I was in a coma. It felt like my soul was locked away in some small part of my body, and I wanted to stay there forever, but I couldn’t forget about you. So, I tried my best to escape, and I’m so grateful I did,” Quinton said softly, his voice raw with emotion. He seemed gentler somehow, as if he had lost his sharp edges and ferocity.
“Ah, don’t say such things. You’ll live long, and you’ll see Adie and Abby grow up and get married and have kids of their own. You’ve just been asleep for a long time, you weren’t dying!” Flossie wiped away her tears and smiled at Quinton tenderly.
“Alright, I won’t give up so easily, for your sake and the kids’. I have to live a long life, and we can stay together forever.”
“Alright, let’s pinky promise. I won’t forgive you again if you hurt yourself!”
They hooked their fingers together and cried piteously, creating a touching scene.
Leia remained silent, but tears rolled down her cheeks. She recalled Liam, her brother. She heard from Flossie that Liam had gone to Southeast Aeos to be the son-in-law of a fort master, but she had no idea how he was doing.
Suddenly, Flossie’s hand brushed against something cold under Quinton’s pillow. She pulled it out in confusion, and was stunned when she saw what it was. It was a luxurious silver ring with an “S”
engraved on the inside. It could only be Halston’s.
