Quinn stared nkly at Alexander, unable to decipher his words. Nevertheless, the hint of sadness in his eyes caused her heart to inexplicably flutter twice. Alexander gazed at her for a moment, then smiled wryly.
He abruptly rose from the bed, cast a quick nce back at Quinn, and instructed, "Now that you''re awake, try to get some rest and refrain from wandering around."
Quinn gazed at him expectantly, hoping he would lead her to find Orion, but she struggled to articte her thoughts.
Alexander didn''t pay her any more attention, turned around, and walked out. The door closed softly, but the sound made Quinn shrink back a little.
Alexander went to the study and didn''te out again.
After thest lesson, Olivia didn''t dare to ck off and stayed by Quinn''s door almost 24 hours a day.
A few dayster, Quinn''s period ended, and her stomach no longer hurt. She was full of energy again.
But Olivia brought her a bowl of dark, bitter medicine. Quinn didn''t even want to drink it after smelling it.
Olivia had to coax her for a long time before she reluctantly took a sip, only to immediately spit it out and run out barefoot. Olivia was terrified and quickly set down the bowl to chase after her, asking, "Madam, where are you going?" Quinn ran downstairs barefoot and hid behind the sofa. When Olivia chased her, she ran to the other side.
Olivia was both puzzled and frustrated by this behavior. "Madam, taking the medicine is for your own benefit. Why are you trying to avoid it?"
Quinn clung to the sofa, eyeing her warily.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
The medicine was so bitter. She didn''t want to drink it! Olivia was at a loss on how to handle the situation. She tried saying all the kind words she could, but Quinn refused to take the medicine.
When Alexander came downstairs, he saw the two of them ying hide and seek. He stood on the stairs, watching Quinn.
Quinn''s hair was messy, and her clear ck and white eyes stared intently at Olivia. As soon as Olivia moved, she would run.
At her age, Olivia couldn''t keep up with Quinn. After a fewps, she was panting heavily.
She turned and saw Alexander at the staircase as if seeing a savior. " Mr. Kennedy, Madam refuses to take the medicine under any circumstances. I am unable to persuade her to do so."
Quinn heard the voice and also turned to look at Alexander.
After pausing for a moment, Alexander began walking towards her. Quinn realized they were working together, so she quickly turned and ran. She couldn''t outpace the two of them this time. Olivia blocked her on one side, and as she turned back, Alexander stood behind her. She halted her run, pouted, and looked at Alexander with teary eyes. Alexander came up to her, raised his hand, and touched her cheek. "Why won''t you drink the medicine?"
Quinn moved her lips and made a pained expression, indicating it was too bitter.
Alexander grabbed her wrist and led her to sit on the sofa, signaling Olivia to bring the medicine.
He told Quinn, "Take your medicine, then we''ll go out." Quinn blinked and shook her head firmly.
Alexander then said, "I''ll treat you to something delicious."

Quinn hesitated, tempted by the thought of tasty food, and couldn''t help but swallow.
Shortly after, Olivia brought the medicine over and handed it to Alexander.
He praised her by saying, "Good girl, drink it.
Quinn stared at the dark soup in the bowl, her small face wrinkled up, her eyes full of resistance.
Alexander asked, "Do you still want to eat something tasty?"
Quinn nodded.
Alexander said, "Then drink this."
Quinn bowed her head in silence for a long time before gathering the courage to ept the bowl from Alexander''s hand. With one hand pinching her nose, and the other holding the bowl, she slowly poured the soup into her mouth.
