Quinton was happy that he had rushed back-it was obvious that the family was falling apart. "You don't

have to worry so much. I'm home, so everything will get better... Your mommy is just scared, and wants

someone to be with her and protect her. Just leave this to me!" Quinton patted his chest to reassure

them, and the two children led him to Renee's bedroom.

There was a large terrace in Renee’s bedroom that stretched out to an arcshaped balcony. Various

kinds of plants and flowers had been grown there, and when it was sunny, it was nice to sunbathe there

amidst the nice fragrance of the flowers.

Renee rarely left her room after she had lost her eyesight, and couldn't even enjoy sunbathing

anymore. Feeling the sun's warmth on her skin was a cruel reminder that she could no longer see the

flowers planted there, and that she might never find happiness. Today, however, she was willing to

enjoy sunbathing on the balcony to get some fresh air. Somehow, she felt like her downfall would come

and knelt next to her, gently holding her hand. He studied his sister, finding her both familiar and

strange. It was obvious that many things had happened in those few months he was away, and his

positive and lively sister looked like... she had lost all hope and reason to live. His heart ached for her.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry. How could I be so stupid to leave you alone in Beach City?" Quinton's voice

shook as tears ran down his cheeks. "You wouldn't have become like this if I had stayed-I'm the worst

brother in the world!"

Renee chuckled and said in amusement, "Quinton, you've been fighting Stefan your whole life, but you

two are actually very similar-you both love to blame yourselves for everything!"
