The door to Quinton's ward opened with a whisper-soft click, almost imperceptible to anyone who wasn't listening. And in that silent moment, a shadow slipped into the room, carrying with her nothing but pure, calculated malice.
It was none other than Seraphina.
Her heels made no sound as she moved across the floor—a woman who had planned this moment meticulously, who had slithered through the cracks of security like a serpent in the grass. She had bribed the nurses working on Quinton's floor, slipping them enough money to buy their silence and their cooperation. Through them, she had discovered that Renee and her companions had left for the cafeteria. She knew her window of opportunity was narrow, but that only made her more determined.
Now, the door was closed behind her, and she stood alone with her target.
Quinton lay motionless in his hospital bed, fresh from surgery that was supposed to save his life. His face was pale, almost ghostlike under the harsh fluorescent lighting, and the oxygen mask covering his nose and mouth hissed softly with each mechanical breath. He looked so fragile, so utterly defenseless—a man who had already endured so much pain, only to find himself at the mercy of a woman who had no mercy at all.
Seraphina approached his bedside slowly, her eyes cold and calculating as she studied his weakened form. She stared at him for a long, unsettling moment, her expression unreadable. Then, with deliberate precision, she reached down and placed something small beside his pillow—an object that would seal his fate.
And then she did the unthinkable.
She reached for his oxygen mask and pulled it away from his face.
"I'm sorry," she whispered, though her voice carried no genuine remorse. "I don't want to be cruel, but I just need you to be in a coma so Renee can learn her lesson. I didn't expect you to be so tough. Stefan even helped hire Owen for you..."
Her eyes flashed with barely contained anger as she looked down at Quinton's struggling form. His chest began to rise and fall more erratically, his body instinctively fighting for air that was no longer being delivered.
"You should blame your shameless sister for this," Seraphina continued, her voice dropping to a venomous hiss. "She's been pestering Stefan relentlessly even though he's engaged to me, so unfortunately, you have to suffer the consequences!"
She watched for a moment longer, observing with detached satisfaction as Quinton's breathing grew more labored, his body beginning to convulse slightly as his brain screamed for oxygen. But Seraphina felt nothing—no pity, no hesitation, no flicker of humanity.
After ensuring her dirty work was done, she turned on her heel and slipped out of the ward just as quietly as she had entered. She expertly avoided the surveillance cameras, weaving through the hospital corridors with the practiced ease of someone who had memorized every blind spot. And then, she disappeared into the night, leaving behind only chaos and a dying man.

Meanwhile, in the brightly lit cafeteria, an entirely different scene was unfolding—one of innocent joy and bitter irony.
Renee sat at the table, staring at the food in front of her with a hollow, distant gaze. Her mind was elsewhere, trapped in a dark spiral of worry and dread that refused to loosen its grip. Across from her, Leia was practically bouncing with excitement, her eyes sparkling as she examined the delicious spread before them.
"Ren, it's your favorite cake from Golden Time!" Leia exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine delight. "No matter how hard I tried, I could never buy it, but here it is. Mr. Baldwin... you're awesome! I really admire you."
Justin, seated opposite the two women, scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed smile. "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."
There it was again—that gentle, caring tone that had become his constant companion over these past few days. He had done everything in his power to coax Renee into eating, showering her with her favorite foods and treating her with a tenderness that went far beyond friendship. It was a love language of sacrifice and devotion, one that Leia recognized all too well.
Leia smiled at him teasingly, wagging a playful finger. "Go ahead and spoil her. I'm sure you'll make Ren chubby in a few weeks if you keep this up!"
Justin chuckled, his cheeks flushing slightly. "Well, that's not a bad idea. How cute she'd look!"
The two of them chatted happily, their laughter filling the air like music. But Renee remained silent—a storm cloud hovering over their sunny picnic. Something was wrong. A cold, creeping sensation had taken root in her chest, whispering dark warnings that she couldn't ignore.
Suddenly, she stood up, her chair scraping loudly against the floor. Her face was pale, her brow furrowed with unease.
"I have to go back and check on him," she said, her voice tight with barely suppressed anxiety.
Leia's smile faltered. "Ren, you haven't eaten anything yet. You—"
"Don't worry about me, you guys eat first!" Renee waved them off and hurried away, her heart pounding with every step she took toward her brother's ward.
Things usually went wrong right before the end, she thought grimly. She didn't dare to stay away for too long. Every instinct she possessed was screaming at her that she had made a terrible mistake by leaving his side. They always say that when you let your guard down, that's when the blow lands hardest.
As she rounded the corner toward Quinton's ward, the first sign of trouble hit her like a physical blow. The door was wide open, and she could hear voices—urgent, panicked voices that didn't belong to her brother's peaceful recovery.
"Ventilator! Get the ventilator! The patient isn't breathing. Hurry!"
Renee's mind went completely blank. No. No, no, no, no. This couldn't be happening. Her legs carried her forward on autopilot, her vision tunneling as she burst into the room and saw a crowd of nurses scrambling around Quinton's bed, their white uniforms a blur of frantic motion.
Her brother was still lying there, but his face had taken on a sickly blue tinge, his chest no longer rising and falling in its steady rhythm. The oxygen mask that should have been on his face was nowhere to be seen.
Renee rushed forward, grabbing the nearest nurse by the arm with trembling, desperate hands. "What happened? He was fine just now, so why isn't he breathing?"
The nurse's face was pale with urgency. "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."
Someone took off his oxygen mask. The words echoed in Renee's mind like a death knell. Someone had deliberately removed the very thing keeping her brother alive. Someone had walked into a recovering patient's room with evil in their heart and tried to extinguish his life like a candle in the wind.
"What? He stopped breathing? Someone took off his oxygen mask?"
Renee could not accept it. Her legs buckled beneath her, and she collapsed onto the cold, hard floor. The impact of her knees against the tiles sent a jolt of pain through her body, but she didn't feel it. All she could feel was the crushing weight of guilt and despair pressing down on her chest, threatening to suffocate her.
"Phoenix!" Justin's voice reached her, desperate and afraid.
"Ren!" Leia was there too, both of them having rushed after her when she left the cafeteria in such a hurry.
"I knew something would happen... Oh, why did I leave? Now, my brother is dying!" Renee wailed, her voice cracking with raw, unfiltered anguish. She had known it. She had FELT it. Somewhere deep in her bones, she had sensed that leaving was dangerous, and yet she had gone anyway. She had abandoned her brother when he needed her most.
And then, her grief turned to fury.
She whirled on Justin, her eyes wild and bloodshot, her entire body trembling with a mixture of horror and rage. "Are you a spy? You lured me away so someone could harm my brother, right?!"
The accusation hung in the air like a blade, sharp and deadly. Justin's face went slack with shock. The man who had brought her favorite cake, who had spent days trying to make her smile, who had shown her nothing but devotion—suddenly transformed into a suspect in her grief-stricken mind.
But was her accusation born of logic, or was it merely the desperate flailing of a wounded heart desperately seeking someone to blame?

Oh, my dear readers, what a devastating chapter this was! My heart aches for Renee, who has been pushed to the absolute brink of her sanity. To see her beloved brother fighting for his life, to discover that someone deliberately tried to kill him, and then to turn her grief into misplaced accusations against the one person who has stood by her side—it is a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions.
And Seraphina! This woman has sunk to depths that are truly unfathomable. She didn't just want to hurt Renee—she wanted to destroy her utterly, to take away her family and leave her completely broken. The cold calculation in her words, "I just need you to be in a coma so Renee can learn her lesson," reveals a villainess who believes she is justified in her cruelty. She blames Renee for Stefan's continued attention, but any fool can see that her real problem is her own insecurity and jealousy. What kind of monster harms an innocent man just to teach his sister a lesson? Seraphina is not even a shadow of a human being anymore—she is pure venom.
I can only hope and pray that Quinton survives this brutal attack. And what about Justin? Will he be able to forgive Renee's desperate accusations, or will this moment of distrust drive a wedge between them when they need each other most? Stay with me, dear readers, because the storm has only just begun.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
Oh, what an absolutely heart-stopping chapter! The tension was unbearable from the moment Seraphina stepped into that hospital room. I found myself gripping my seat, screaming at the pages, begging someone to stop her. The juxtaposition of the happy cafeteria scene with the horror unfolding in Quinton's ward was masterful in its cruelty. My heart absolutely shattered watching Renee collapse on that cold floor—the guilt, the fear, the helplessness radiated off the page and struck me in the chest like a physical blow.
While I understand her pain, watching her accuse Justin of such a horrendous act broke my heart in a completely different way. This poor woman is drowning in her own worst nightmares, and she's lashing out at the one safe harbor she has left. Seraphina continues to cement herself as one of the most hatable villains I've ever encountered in this story—her cold, calculated cruelty sends chills down my spine.
Covering all the plot twists, emotional devastation, and character development, this chapter was absolutely devastating theater.
⭐️⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Oh, I am on the edge of my seat just thinking about what comes next! I predict that the medical team will just barely manage to stabilize Quinton, pulling him back from the brink of death. But the real drama will shift to the investigation—the police will be called, and when the surveillance footage is examined, the hospital will likely discover that the cameras mysteriously malfunctioned during the critical window. This will send everyone into a frenzy trying to figure out who could have orchestrated such a calculated attack. Meanwhile, Justin will be devastated by Renee's accusation, and I suspect a painful confrontation will occur between them. Will Renee realize her mistake? Will she humble herself and apologize? But more importantly—will Quinton wake up? The clock is ticking, and I fear more tragedy is on its horizon.
