Orion was about to make a phone call when suddenly Quinn grabbed his hand and shook it.


    He paused and turned to look at Quinn.


    Quinn innocently looked at Orion, then pointed to the hamburger in the hand of a passing child, batting her eyes at him.


    A flicker of emotion passed through Orion''s heart as he stared into her lively,rge eyes. His fingers tightened around his phone.


    "Are you hungry?" Orion asked, feeling like he was asking a silly question.


    Sean had brought Quinn in the morning, and now it was already past three in the afternoon. So it would be strange if she wasn''t hungry.


    Quinn nodded. Her eyes fixed on the hamburger in the child''s hand, swallowing saliva.


    Orion stared at the number on his phone in silence for a moment. Then, he finally decided to turn off the phone.


    Putting the phone in his pocket, Orion smiled and said, "Let''s go eat something delicious."


    At the mention of something delicious, Quinn''s eyes lit up, and she vigorously nodded at Orion.


    Orion found her appearance somewhat amusing and couldn''t resist pinching her cheek. He would have never dared to do so before, but once he did, he realized how good it felt.


    "Let''s go." Orion took Quinn''s hand and walked towards the hospital''s exit.


    Quinn clung to Orion''s arm, as if afraid he would abandon her, practically hanging onto him. Orion asionally nced at her, his other hand tucked in his pocket.


    Holding his phone tightly, he suddenly had no desire to share this news with Alexander.


    Orion feared that if Alexander found out, he woulde and take Quinn away from him.


    If, over these five days, he became familiar with Quinn, then he could rece Alexander.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    By then, if she refused to go with Alexander, he might let her stay.


    From what Orion had observed of Alexander during this time. He was sure he would change his mind. He could practically bet on it.


    While Orion was lost in thought, he looked up and suddenly noticed Alexander walking towards them from the nearby parking lot, apanied by Sean.


    Orion''s heart skipped a beat, instinctively tightening his grip on Quinn''s hand. Had he found out so quickly?


    Alexander clearly noticed them. He approached with deliberate, confident steps,ing to a halt in front of the two. Orion regarded him cautiously, asking, "Have you changed your mind so quickly?" Alexander didn''t answer. His gaze lingered on Orion''s face for a few seconds, then moved to the tightly held hands of the two and finally to Quinn.


    Quinn was also looking at him. But it didn''t look like she had recognized him.


    Alexander''s gaze paused on her face for a few seconds before asking Orion, "Why did you bring her here?"


    Upon hearing this, Orion''s anxious heart eased a bit, and he confidently responded, "Didn''t you mention she was unwell? I brought her here to check if there''s an issue.


    Alexander''s dark eyes locked onto Orion as if trying to see through him.


    For a moment, it seemed like Orion had been exposed.


    Fortunately, Alexander only looked at Orion for a moment before walking past them.


    Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you''re not reading this book on nel5s.org, you might be missing out on theplete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it''s all free! Orion nced back and let out a sigh of relief, quietly telling Quinn, "He''s a bad person. Stay away from him, okay?"


    Quinn took a deep look at Alexander''s retreating figure, then turned to Orion. Under his expectant gaze, she obediently nodded.


    Orion was taken aback. He was just testing. He didn''t expect Quinn to actually agree. He felt a slight pang of guilt.


    Orion seemed to sense something and instinctively nced back. Alexander was standing not far from him, also looking back with a serious expression.


    Startled, Orion grabbed Quinn and ran.


    Alexander observed Orion''s swift exit, his gaze thoughtful. After a brief pause, he turned to Sean andmanded, "You need to investigate this." "What should I investigate." Sean queried, perplexed.


    Alexander merely offered him a fleeting look, leaving his directive ambiguous.


    Sean touched his nose. He wasn''t as quick-witted as Kyle when Alexander mentioned investigating. It was unclear what he meant.
