《When She Turns Her Back》全部章節：第 391 章 - 第 400 章

Franklin's attention wasn't on Christian. Instead, he turned to look at the silent Talia beside him and asked, "Talia, what do you think?"Talia had been dismissive, but since Franklin was asking her directly, she couldn't avoid answering.After thinking for a moment, she gave an answer against her true feelings. "She seems quite nice."Franklin's lips curved into a faint smile. Finally, he continued, "By the way, I came over tonight because I want to tell you both something."Franklin's demeanor became serious. Talia and Christian both felt their hearts sink slightly.Soon, Franklin explained his purpose. "My health isn't great, and I don't know how much time I have left. So I've been thinking about staying at Jubilee Manor for a while. If I'm going to die, I should at least be surrounded by family."After returning from the hospital this time, Franklin had developed an inexplicable fear. His wife had died early, and now, he was alone in the Lane residence. He was afraid that if

Hearing Christian's words, tears immediately welled up in Yvonne's eyes. "But Daddy, how long is Great-Grandpa staying?"Christian thought for a moment before responding, "I'm not sure yet. Maybe a week, maybe a month, or maybe even a year..."From Franklin's demeanor, it seemed like he wanted to stay at Christian's place until he died.Yvonne didn't blame Franklin for this. Instead, she asked worriedly, "But Daddy, what if I miss Nancy? What do I do then?"Christian was stumped, but he still said to Yvonne, "I'll figure something out."Even though Christian hadn't actually solved anything yet, just hearing him promise made Yvonne extremely happy.Franklin had gone to rest, and Christian had gone upstairs to be with Yvonne. Only Talia remained standing in the first-floor living room, looking somewhat lost.Eventually, though, she headed upstairs as well. Without hesitation, she pushed open the door to the room she had once shared with Christian.The moment she switched on the l

Talia hadn't fully recovered from her flu yet. Her body burned hot, as if she were being roasted over a fire. When Christian's low, magnetic voice sounded in her ear, waves of electricity shot through her body.In her drowsy haze, she struggled to open her eyes from the dream. Quentin was the person she saw in her dream, so why was she hearing Christian's voice?The moment she opened her eyes and saw who it was, Talia's body shuddered violently. She instinctively tried to retreat, only to discover that Christian's hands were planted on either side of her body, trapping her with no escape.By the faint light from the window, Talia could barely make out Christian's expression. He was frowning slightly as he looked at her, his eyes filled with deep scrutiny."Christian, move. What are you doing?"When she spoke, Talia's voice came out hoarse and unrecognizable. At the same time, she reached out to push against Christian's body as it drew closer.Christian's chest pressed against her

That evening at 7:00 pm, Talia was suddenly informed that she needed to accompany an emergency room doctor on a house call.Just when she was about to get off work, she was told to work overtime instead. Talia's mood instantly soured.Fortunately, the emergency call was in a residential complex less than two miles from the hospital. The patient was a child who required Talia, a pediatric specialist, to go.It wasn't anything complicated—just a simple case of flu and fever. After bringing the child to the hospital, Talia returned to her department.She finished up the last of her work and was just about to stand and stretch when her phone screen lit up. She turned her head and saw that it was a text from Franklin.It read, "Talia, Christian had some drinks at a business dinner tonight. The driver took me home first. Go keep him company and then bring him home safely."Seeing this text, Talia knew that Franklin was deliberately trying to push them together again. Despite knowing th

Talia and Willow chatted until past 1:00 am before deciding to sleep. But just as they lay down, a disruptive horn blared from downstairs. Someone was shouting loudly through a megaphone.The next moment, Talia vaguely recognized the man with the megaphone. Willow knew who it was even faster than Talia did. From a single shout, she knew that it was Felix.The residential complex was quiet in the dead of night, but with Felix making this racket, lights turned on in individual units across every building and every floor.Some residents who couldn't tolerate it even shouted down, "Are you insane? What kind of madness are you causing in the middle of the night?"Others chimed in, "Exactly! If you're going to lose it, do it during the day."But Felix ignored all the voices around him. He had followed every lead to find Willow. How could he possibly give up the chance to make things right?So Felix continued shouting through the megaphone without care. "Willow, I was wrong in the past.
