Justin only said that because he had noticed bad things happening to his family ever since he started cooperating

with the Everhearts. Most of them were attacks on their finances, like Justin's business partner abruptly withdrawing

their funds, one of their factories catching fire, and the higher-ups finding fault with him for no reason.

However, there had also been physical attacks directed at Justin and Quinton.

Quinton found a man-made bomb under his car the day before, and Justin realized that his car brakes had been

tampered with when he started his car. Quinton hadn't told Renee about all this because he didn't want her to

worry, but Justin felt that she should be aware of just how serious the situation was.

"That's why I think someone might have caused your fall!" Justin said urgently.

Renee clenched her fists and inhaled deeply. "Okay, I'll be careful. Quinton and I just got some time off, and there

are already people getting restless."

"So, what's your plan now? Do you want to leave the hospital early? It's crowded here, so anything can happen; it'll

safer if you stay at home," Justin suggested carefully. Now he knew why Quinton had suggested it earlier.

What's the matter? Are you getting sick of the food?"

"Aren't you too?" She glanced at his healed neck and chuckled. "You're not so weak that you have to stay in the

hospital for a month just for bruises, right?"

"Yeah, I... I guess I don't know what I want," Stefan said quietly. He knew their time together had an expiration date,

but he didn't want it to stop.

The air was thick with tension and unsaid words. Both of them had so many things to say, but neither spoke.

"I heard that you're going to have brain surgery?" Renee suddenly remembered what Adie had said to her.

Stefan looked at her abruptly. "Who told you that?"
