Based on his previous temper, he did not think that he was out of the line. If his opponent was Halston, he would not even bat an eyelid if he hacked Halston into pieces.
However, his sister cared so much about Halston. She could even risk her life to save him. If something happened to Halston, the sibling affection he finally gained after yearning for such a long time would be ruined.
“What? He’ll become blind?”
Flossie felt like she had received a fatal blow. Her mind went blank in an instant.
Halston was such a proud person. If he became blind, it would be torture worse than death.
“It’s all my fault. Why did I have to set that up? Why did I ask him to jump into that?”
Great remorse washed over her. So, she slapped herself hard. She hated herself for pushing Halston into such a deep abyss because of her selfishness.
“Sis, calm down. Don’t worry too much. The doctor said that there’s a possibility, and that means it’s not a certain case. What if he can’t wake up at all?”
Quinton pressed her hand down in grief and consoled her kindly.
“So, it means that turning blind isn’t the most horrible outcome. He may be in a coma forever, or… he may even die. Is that correct?”
“Er… I… I didn’t mean that!”
Quinton swallowed slightly with an awkward expression.
D*mn it! Why did it become worse after he consoled her?
“The doctors are trying their best to save him, and they even induced antivenom into his body immediately. He fought against me for so many years. He’s such a fierce and powerful person. He won’t die so soon. Don’t worry!”
Quinton patted Flossie’s shoulders, but he didn’t sound very confident.
“Where is he? I want to see him,” Flossie asked between sobs.
Halston lay in the guest room of Carmine Pawnshop. His eyes were tightly closed, and his breathing was slow. He was still in a coma.“How long has he been in a coma?”
Flossie forcefully exerted her weak body and rushed to the man’s bed before she asked in concern.
Her eyes inevitably turned red the moment she saw Halston.
It was because she’d never seen him so weak before; it was as if anyone, even a three or four-year-old child, could kill him with great ease.
“You guys are rescued together. It’s already been three days.”
Quinton stood at the back with both hands in his pockets while making an honest reply.
“Didn’t you send him to the hospital? I’m sure a more professional hospital can save him, given his condition.
“Why didn’t you send him to the hospital?”
Quinton explained, “The first thing I did was got some people to rush you guys to the hospital, but those doctors were out of options. They claimed that you guys were dying, so I spent a lot of money to get a professional physician to save you. But… you’re now out of danger. Whether he can survive this will completely depend on him.”
“Humph! So, we need to thank you for saving us, huh?” Flossie sneered and demanded.
She and Halston turned out this way. It was impossible if she did not hate Quinton.
However, he was her closest family member. She could not hate him at all.
Hence, she was in a great dilemma. She had two different sides fighting against each other in her mind, so she was in excruciating pain.
Quinton was no fool. Of course, he noticed Flossie’s complicated feelings. His handsome face also turned much more solemn.
“Sis, how did he bewitch you? You’re so loyal to him. Didn’t he betray you? Is it worth it to fall out with your brother for a scumbag?”
“I’m not loyal to him. I also won’t fall out with you. I just think that he’s not so bad as to have to pay with his life. Your means were too extreme. You’re just like a cold-blooded monster!”
Flossie’s large eyes were full of tears. At last, she could not hold back but looked up at Quinton with the most accusing glare, expressing her deep agony.
“I sincerely and wholeheartedly accepted you from the moment we were reunited with each other. I felt sorrier for you after I heard about your miserable encounters. I secretly made up my mind to make it up to you properly and to let you feel the warmth of family, so I always trusted you boundlessly. I tried to understand you and even tolerated you…
“I understand your mercilessness, cruelty, and extreme means. Unexpectedly, you schemed against me…”
“Sis, why did you say that? Why did I ever use extreme means on you? I also made up my mind secretly that I want to protect you for the rest of your life!”
Quinton defended himself agitatedly. He was slightly angry.
“I thought you would do the same and tried all means to take revenge just like me after you were harmed by this man. Surprisingly, you feel so much for him. You even risked your life to save him!”
He clenched his fists tightly and stated with deep regret, “I would never order them to release those dangerous animals if I knew that you would jump into the water dungeon…”
“All right, it’s useless to say that now. Nothing can happen to Halston regardless of the price I have to pay because…”
Flossie sobbed and said, “Not only was he my past lover, but he is also my children’s father. I can’t let my dear children lose their father.”
“What? Your children?”
Quinton was shocked and surprised. He said excitedly, “So, you have kids. Why didn’t I receive any news? That’s wonderful! Our family has descendants, after all. That’s great…”
“Is it wonderful?
Flossie said pessimistically, “I’m afraid my kids will hate me to the core for killing their father!”
“No, that won’t happen. Sis, don’t worry. The exceptional physician I hired is an outstanding physician with great medical skills. He claimed that Halston will be all right as long as he can wake up in time. This guy will be fine.”
At first, Quinton did not plan to let Halston off the hook, but since he was his nephew and the biological father of his niece, he could only let go of his grudge and let him stay alive.
“I hope so…”
Flossie heaved a long sigh. “My mind is a mess now. Please leave me alone. I want to stay with him.”
“Okay.”
Quinton nodded and patted her shoulder. He said apologetically, “Don’t worry, sis. I was too impulsive. I’ll try my best to make it up to you.”
After Quinton left the room, Flossie no longer pretended to be rational or aloof.
She sat before Halston’s bed and held his hand with a heart full of worry and pain. “Halston, you’ve been sleeping for a long time. You should wake up now. Adie, Abby, and I are waiting for you to wake up. So, listen to me. Wake up.”
She gained no replies.
Halston’s eyes remained closed. He did not give any reaction.
“Although you’re very aloof and cruel, and you repeatedly tricked me as if I was a fool and that I should hate you forever, I’m born a generous person. All the grudges between us will be put away and forgotten as long as you’re willing to wake up. What do you think?”
Halston said not a word.
He still lay there quietly, showing not a tinge of response.
