Kyle was stunned.


    Alexander gazed at her intently without uttering a word.


    Quinn drank two more bowls of soup before she contentedly set down her utensils, casting a casual nce of gratitude toward Alexander.


    She was thankful that he had allowed her to have so much to eat.


    Alexander looked at her, his expression somewhatplex.


    A knock came at the door, and Alexander withdrew his gaze, turning to look toward the entrance.


    It was Walter. His eyes swept around the room before he walked in with his signature smile.


    Walter said, "It looks like I came at the wrong time. You guys are eating."


    Kyle bent down to clear the table. "You came just in time. We just finished."


    He gathered the empty bowls and put them back into the food box. He had never realized Quinn could eat so much.


    She used to eat just a few bites, and Kyle had often suspected she was like a little cat. Now, she seemed more like a tiger.


    In Quinn''s eyes, there was only food.


    After tidying up the table, Kyle said to Alexander, "Mr. Kennedy, I''ll be leaving now. You should rest well."


    "The doctor said your fever has subsided. As long as it doesn''te back, you will be fine."


    Upon hearing this, Walterughed. "I don''t see him worrying at all."


    Kyle shot him a re. This man always made him feel awkward.


    Not wanting to deal with Walter, Kyle grabbed the food box and left the room.


    Rather than retreating to his bed, Alexander chose to take a seat on the couch. He asked Walter, "Do you smoke?"


    Walter pulled out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket and tossed them to him, kindly reminding him. "Smoke by the window. There''s a smoke detector in the room."


    Unlike Kyle, Walter was not worried about Alexander''s health. In fact, Alexander''s well-being meant nothing to him. He was simply curious after hearing Kyle''s story and wanted to see for himself. After all, Quinn had changed significantly. Alexander did just as he said. He got up, strolled over to the window, slid it open, and while leaning against the windowsill, he sparked up a cigarette.


    Walter scrutinized Quinn, looking her up and down several times.

    He finally asked, "Do you know who I am?"


    Quinn tilted her head, looked at Walter for a while, and then shook her head, indicating she didn''t recognize him.


    As expected, Walter strode over to the sofa and took a seat, peering at her with a look that was a curious mix of amusement and intrigue.


    He was curious to see how this little mute''s personality had changed.


    Alexander, with a cigarette delicately held between his fingertips, cast a fleeting nce back at Quinn.


    Caught off guard, Quinn and Walter sat there, exchanging wide-eyed stares as if they were silentlypeting to see who would blink first.


    In the end, Walter conceded and joined Alexander by the window to smoke.


    His eyes fell on the back of Alexander''s hand, and he clearly saw arge bruise.


    Walter asked, "Did she do that?"


    Alexander sneered."Thanks to her, I''m still alive."This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.

    Walter nodded. "If Mr. Kennedy were to sumb to a cold and fever, it would definitely make headlines.."


    Alexander finished his cigarette, extinguished it on the window sill, and casually tossed it out the window.


    Alexander asked, "What brought you here?"


    Walter was blunt. "To see you make a fool of yourself."


    Alexander shot him a nce, then turned and went back to his bed. Compared to the man who had previously resisted being hospitalized, he was nowpletely transformed. Suddenly, he appeared to ce a higher value on his life. Walter pulled a lollipop from his pocket and held it out to Quinn, smiling. "Do you want to hang out?"


    Quinn''s eyes were fixed on the lollipop in his hand. She reached out and grabbed it, then nodded at him.


    A single lollipop could win her over.


    No wonder Alexander was obediently staying in the hospital.


    Today, she dared to remove his IV. Who knows, tomorrow, she might even dare to taint his food.


    Then Walter asked again, "Are you just going to abandon him?"
