Soren had to resew his wound. Although he wiped it with anesthetic, he still reminded him. "Mr. Kennedy, it''s a bit painful. Please bear with it." "Stop the nonsense," Alexander snapped back impatiently.
Soren closed his mouth and carefully stitched up Alexander''s wound, which had been soaked in water and was difficult to sew.
Olivia bathed Quinn, dried her hair, and then took her to the bedroom.
The bedroom door was left ajar. Upon entering, Quinn saw a man with his upper body exposed and another man holding a needle, poking at his back. Meanwhile, Alexander gripped the sides of the sofa tightly, the veins on the back of his hands visibly bulging, his pale face covered in cold sweat. Just looking at it made Quinn feel pain.
She was about to turn and leave when Olivia quietly exited and closed the door.
Quinn hastily opened the door and stepped outside, clutching her nightgown. She hurried downstairs and dashed towards the door.
However, upon reaching the front door, she found it locked and bolted.
Quinn struggled with the key for a while but couldn''t unlock it. Feeling something furry against her heel, she turned around to see two dogs.
The dogs nuzzled against her legs, appearing as though they wanted to be picked up.
Quinn was moved and suddenly gave up on opening the door. She squatted down and picked up one of the round dogs. Although the puppy was small, it was really heavy.
With the puppy in her arms, it excitedly rubbed against her and licked her face frantically.
Quinn turned her head to avoid it, but her movement was too big, and she ended up sitting on the ground.
So the other dog also jumped up and started bouncing around in Quinn''s arms.
Quinn couldn''t handle it and had to push the puppies away. However, the puppies thought she was ying with them. They were pushed away, but then wagged their tails and pounced back. Olivia noticed her sitting on the ground surrounded by the two puppies and quickly ran over to pick up one of the puppies and calm them down.
"Mrs. Kennedy, these two dogs are bing increasingly mischievous. They eat a lot every day and create chaos everywhere. They need to be confined," Olivia said as she carried the two dogs towards the cage." The two dogs had grown considerably, outgrowing their original cage. They were transferred to arger one.
Olivia tossed the dogs in and shut the iron cage, causing the two dogs to spin around inside, howling as if resisting. Quinn gazed nkly at the two puppies.
Olivia approached and assisted her. "Mrs. Kennedy, please go upstairs and rest. You can y with them tomorrow."
As she spoke, she also brushed off the dog hair on her.
Olivia led her upstairs, but Quinn kept looking back at the two puppies, who seemed eager to escape. When she snapped out of it, Olivia had already brought her back to the bedroom.
Soren had finished bandaging Alexander, except for the wound on his back, the one on his chest, and the bite mark on his wrist from Quinn, which was also wrapped in gauze.N?velDrama.Org owns this.
Quinn was about to leave, but a look from Alexander seemed to hold her in ce with an unseen force.

Olivia and Soren quickly left the bedroom, silently closing the door behind them.
Alexander stood up, picking up a nearby bathrobe and draping it over himself. He began to walk towards Quinn.
Quinn instinctively backed away, feeling cornered against the door frame with no escape. Her fingers gripped the fabric of her nightgown tightly.
Her clear, contrasting eyes were fixed on Alexander. The anxiety and panic in her gaze were impossible to hide.
Alexander stopped half a step away from her. He lowered his gaze, silently observing her.
Quinn felt uneasy under his gaze. In just two short hours, the perception of him as a ''bad man'' had firmly taken hold in her mind. No matter how she viewed him now, he didn''t appear to be a good person. Alexander''s lips twitched, but he couldn''t make a sound for a long time.
He raised his hand, intending to touch Quinn''s face, but she turned her head to avoid him.</p<>
