Garrett stood at the top of the stairs holding his laptop bag, watching as Quentin carried Talia away. The accusatory words on the tip of his tongue died when he saw how flushed Talia's face was.Quentin ran into Paige, who had just come back, as he descended the stairs. Even while carrying Talia, he still greeted her, "Hey, Paige."Paige paused when she saw Quentin. But after a moment, she collected herself. Noticing that something was wrong with Talia in Quentin's arms, she quickly asked, "What happened to Talia?"Quentin strode toward the living room. As he walked, he answered Paige's question. "She has a fever. I'm taking her to the hospital."Before Paige could even process this, Quentin had already carried Talia out of the house.Garrett came downstairs just then. Seeing Paige, he quickly said, "Let's go. We should follow them."At a time like this, Talia's safety naturally came first. As for why Quentin was at the Stewart residence, that could wait.…In the middle of th

Talia had no idea how to respond to Quentin's words. She hesitated for a long time before finally looking up at him. She asked, "Quentin, why go through all this trouble?"Guessing what Talia was about to say, Quentin didn't want to hear it. He cut her off. "Alright, enough. Drink some water first."He picked up the cup again and held the straw to her lips. Talia's mouth was parched. She didn't refuse and took two big gulps.Seeing her drink, Quentin couldn't help himself. He praised, "Good girl."Hearing him use that tone like he was coaxing a child, Talia's face instantly flushed red. She didn't respond. Instead, she lay flat and stopped looking at him.The IV bag was empty. Seeing this, Talia asked Quentin, "Can you change the bag for me?"Quentin looked up. As expected, the bag was empty and needed to be replaced.He stood and raised his hand to change the IV. When he raised his arm, his tracksuit jacket rode up a little. As Talia turned her head, she accidentally caught a g

When Quentin heard Talia speak without telling him to let her go, relief washed over him.A relaxed smile appeared on his face. He pushed himself up from the bed and said, "I'll carry you to the bathroom."Talia's body was sticky with sweat, making her feel uncomfortable. Hearing Quentin say this, she instinctively worried that she might smell bad to him.She pulled back slightly and said, "Quentin, it's just a fever. I can go by myself."The smile that had just appeared in Quentin's eyes vanished in an instant.Seeing his reaction, Talia opened her mouth to explain. But before she could speak, Quentin had already gotten out of bed. He pulled back the blanket covering her body and scooped her up in his arms.He looked down at her, his gaze intense and his tone commanding. "I want to carry you. Talia, don't even think about pushing me away."Talia had no strength to struggle or yell at him. As such, she had no choice but to let him have his way.Quentin carried her to the bathro

Talia could feel that Quentin genuinely wanted to prove he was a good man, but she didn't know how to respond, so she simply chose to remain silent.Quentin didn't push her. He knew she still didn't dare to trust anyone, and he also knew she wasn't well. He figured that this wasn't the time to say anything that might make her uncomfortable.He ultimately dropped the subject.After feeding her, Quentin poured her a cup of warm water and sat there watching until she finished it.Right after Talia drank it, she started running a fever again.Quentin gave her fever-reducing medicine, and she drifted off to sleep. He, however, didn't sleep at all that night.He sat by the bed, wiping her sweat and adjusting her blanket over and over again.It wasn't until dawn, when the sky was just starting to lighten, that Quentin finally fell asleep holding Talia's hand.Because of his height, the way he slept—bent over like that—looked terribly uncomfortable. However, he was so exhausted that he

Emma finished preparing breakfast and arrived at the hospital around 9:20 am.Since it was a weekday, traffic was bad. She spent the whole ride worrying that Yvonne might be hungry with nothing to eat.Christian had called her that morning, asking her to take her time to deliver breakfast. Emma had asked, "Mr. Lane, you're going to work, and Ms. York is heading to the lab, so who's staying with Ms. Yvonne?"Christian had told her, "Her mother will be there."Emma felt a bit more at ease hearing that. She wanted Yvonne to eat well, so she put extra care into preparing breakfast, which ended up taking longer than she had expected.After stepping out of the cab, she hurried with the food container as quickly as she could. By the time she reached the ward, it was already 9:30 am.But the room was empty. Neither Talia nor Yvonne was there.Emma set the container down and hurried to the nurses' station to ask where Yvonne had gone.As soon as the nurse heard Yvonne's name, she said,
