"Yeah, what do you mean 'almost in our thirties'? Ren and I are forever eighteen, okay?" Leia declared, ready to

start a fight with Quinton.

Seeing the two girls gang up on him, Quinton immediately gave in and put his hands up in surrender. "Okay, I was

wrong. Both of you will always be eighteen, at least to me... No, it's too much. At most, one of you is three and the

other is five."

Blinking, Leia asked, "Who is three and who is five?"

Both Renee and Quinton smiled at each other, and Quinton chuckled. "Isn't it obvious?"

Renee groaned, "Ah, now that I think about it... What if someone bullies you during filming?"

"Bullies me?" Clenching her fists, Leia said confidently "Hah! They'll be lucky if I don't bully them!"

"Good. Don't forget to practice the self-defense skills I taught you." Renee felt like a mother sending her sheltered

daughter off to college.

"Don’t worry, bestie. I'm just going to shoot a show, I'm not going to war. I'll be fine.’ After chatting with Renee a

while longer, Leia eventually left to pack her luggage.

Quinton was left alone with Renee in the ward, and he sighed. Finally, he said solemnly, "I'll be frank with you,

Renee. I'm here to say goodbye too."

Renee looked at him with an anxious frown. "Where are you going, Quinton?"

"I told you that Chase has gone missing, and I just can't let it go. I've got to do something about it." Quinton had

been thinking about Chase. There was a high possibility that he had drowned at sea, but even if that was the case,

Quinton at least wanted to find his body. He had to know for sure.

"Yeah, you're right. Chase was always loyal to you, and it's normal to be worried but... you've just recovered."

Renee looked at her brother in concern.

"There's nothing to worry about-l know what I'm doing. He might have encountered some pirates, and they'd

probably let him go if I offered them money. It's no big deal," Quinton said confidently.

"I know you've made up your mind, but please be careful and contact me if anything happens. I might not be a big

shot, but I've got some connections and means too. I can help you."

"Okay." Touching Renee's head, Quinton smiled and said, "I'll rely on my sister then."

As the days passed, both Quinton and Leia left, making Renee's ward feel quite empty. It made Renee feel

miserable. Luckily, Margaret would bring Adie and Abby there to spend time with Renee after the children got back

from school. Occasionally, Justin would also drop by to see

Renee after work. When people visited, Renee didn't feel so lonely, but today... she felt like something was off, as if

someone was secretly watching her. She didn't know if it was true or if she was just being paranoid.

"Miss, did anyone... come to see me today?" Renee hesitantly asked the nurse who came to change her IV drip.
