Upon hearing this, Quinn turned back to nce at Alexander, who sat expressionless on the bed, and she felt a pang of pity for him.


    She looked again at the lollipop in her hand and, with some reluctance, handed it back to Walter.


    Walter chuckled softly and did not take it. "I''m just kidding. Keep it. I''ll buy you another one tomorrow."


    Quinn gazed at his gentle smile, her eyes momentarily dazed, and her affection for him surged.


    If someone were to ask her now to rank these three men in her heart, Walter would undoubtedlye in second, with Alexander lying on the bed and rankingst. Walter couldn''t help butugh as he walked over to Alexander and shared the oues of the meetings from the past two days.


    He also mentioned. "There''s one more thing. Freya''s case will have its next hearing in a week."


    Alexander nodded. "Got it."


    Walter didn''t linger. After saying this, he left.


    Alexander observed his departing figure, deep in contemtion, a mysterious gleam in his eyes. Once Walter had left, the smile on Alexander''s face disappeared as well.


    Despite their cooperative rtionship, both men understood each other''s thoughts. Walter couldn''t have exclusively supported Alexander throughout. Ultimately, he had to maintain a bnce in thispetition. What he wanted was not the victory of one side but a situation where both sides suffered.


    Of course, he was also aware that Alexander still guarded against him. Alexander had never trusted him from the beginning.


    Quinn, sucking on a lollipop, sat down in front of Alexander again.


    Alexander was in no mood to entertain her. He leaned against the head of the bed, closing his eyes to rest and mull over things.


    This time, Alexander was much morepliant than before. He remained in the hospital for seven days before being discharged, leaving only when fully recovered. Quinn remained determined to locate Orion. Additionally, the hospital food and rest were unsatisfactory, and she had been eager to depart for some time. As the time approached for him to leave the hospital, Quinn was even more ted than Alexander. Kyle came to the hospital to pick them up, driving them back to Regal Riverside.


    Upon entering the study, the first thing Alexander asked was about Orion''s situation.


    Kyle answered truthfully. "He''s currently in solitary confinement, and it''s uncertain when he''ll be released."

    Alexander said, "Tell him to sign the divorce papers."


    Kyle nodded. "Alright, I''ll deliver them to Mr. Williamter."


    Alexander asked again, "What aboutLandon Kennedy?"


    Kyle replied, "He''s still in the hospital. He seems to be recovering well but hasn''t been discharged yet. I don''t know what he is up to."


    While listening to the report, Alexander casually strolled over to the floor-to-ceiling window, his hands tucked into his pockets. His gazended on the security screen outside, and a look of disapproval crossed his face. "Have someone remove these security screens," he ordered.


    Kyle nodded. "Understood."


    As Kyle made his way to the study door, he jumped slightly at the figure standing there. "Madam, when did you get here?"


    Hearing this, Alexander also nced back.


    Quinn paid no mind to Kyle, and her focus was solely on Alexander in the room.


    When she faced Alexander, she gave him a look of feigned innocence as if she had been unfairly treated.


    "What''s the matter?" Alexander inquired.


    Clutching her stomach, Quinn''s face contorted in an expression of difort.


    "Do you have a stomachache?"


    Quinn nodded in confirmation and extended her hand for Alexander to see, her fingers stained with blood. Alexander was momentarily stunned, his eyes locked on her fingers for a few seconds before realization struck him. Alexander said, "Turn around."


    Following his instruction, Quinn turned her back to him. Alexander''s eyes drifted downward, spotting a red stain on her white trousers.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    The source of the blood on her fingers was unmistakable.


    A vein throbbed on Alexander''s forehead.


    She was on her period!
