The seemingly calm conversation between the two had already filled the air with a faint smell of gunpowder.
Quinn couldn''t quite grasp it, but she felt the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
After a moment of silence, Walter finally spoke, "You see, he has admitted it. Remember, from now on, I am your brother."
Quinn nced at Alexander on the bed. He used to call himself her brother, but what was he now?
A whileter, seeing Alexander still silent, Walter said to Quinn, "Alright, Quinn, you stay here. Alexander seems to need someone to take care of him right now." Quinn felt a bit anxious. She didn''t know how to interact with this Alexander now, nor did she know what identity to use. She instinctively grabbed Walter''s sleeve. This action brought the atmosphere in the ward back to freezing point.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
Walter, however, smiled brightly. He deliberately touched Quinn''s head in front of Alexander. "What''s wrong? Wasn''t it you who wanted toe? Why do you seem reluctant to stay now?" Quinn bit her lip. She did want to see Alexander, but not this Alexander.
Her purpose here was merely to confirm what Walter said and to take a look at the change in Alexander.
Walter pulled his sleeve back and said, "Alright, stay here with him. If you leave with me and upset someone, he might pull my tongue out."
He was hinting at the events of yesterday, mocking Alexander''s audacity.
Throughout, Alexander remained silent, watching quietly as Walter "performed."
After Walter left, leaving Quinn feeling lost, Kyle also tactfully exited, giving the two some space.
Quinn pinched the hem of her clothes by her side, silent for a moment before mustering the courage to look at him.
Raising her head, she found Alexander staring at her, making her back tingle like prey under a wolf''s gaze.
"Come here," Alexander suddenly spoke.
Quinn''s body stiffened for a moment, then she lowered her head and took hesitant steps towards him, standing in front of him.

Alexander looked at her for a few seconds before asking, "Do you forget what happened yesterday?"
Quinn nodded honestly. ording to the calendar on her phone, she had forgotten not just yesterday''s events but also things from six or seven years ago.
Alexander''s tense expression softened slightly.
He held Quinn''s wrist, pulled her hand over, and looked at the bandaged palm.
"Does it hurt?"
Quinn nodded and then shook her head.
Alexander patted the space beside him, and after a moment of hesitation, Quinn sat down next to him.
She nced at Alexander''s face from the corner of her eye.

This mature and dignified face was far from the one she remembered. However, due to his hospital gown and tired expression today, with his messy hair falling on his forehead, softening his features, he seemed less intimidating. So much so that Quinn wasn''t as afraid of him anymore.
Alexander asked, "What did Walter tell you?"
Quinn hesitated again. She only now realized that the man earlier was named Walter, but why was his background different from hers? Alexander pinched her chin, lifting her face, "What did he say?"
Quinn remained silent for a moment, then gestured and ryed all that Walter had told her to Alexander.
After reading, Alexander let out a mockingugh.
Quinn looked at him, puzzled, not understanding his meaning.
Alexander held her face gently with his fingers, his tone much softer. "Since you''ve forgotten, let it go. As for Walter, consider it his lucky day."
Quinn grew even more puzzled. What did he mean by ''his lucky day''?
