But something was missing.


    For example, the joy and dependence she used to show when looking at Alexander, or the humility and fear when she was scared of him.


    Just a change in her gaze made her feelpletely different as if she had be a new person.


    Seeing his silence, she extended a finger and poked his belly, "I''m talking to you. Why aren''t you answering? So rude!"


    Alexander snapped out of it and said, "Soon."


    "When is soon?"


    "I don''t know. I''m not a doctor."


    "Then go ask a doctor?"


    Quinn was acting as if it was only natural, treating Alexander like her bodyguard.


    Alexander sat down beside her, held her hand, and said, "I''ll askter. Aren''t you bored now? I''ll keep youpany."


    "What can you do to keep mepany?"


    "What do you want to do?"


    Quinn tilted her head and stared at him for a momen. "I want to y ''airne''."


    "How do you y that?"


    "It''s like I sit on your shoulders, and you run around with me. Why are you so clueless? You don''t even know how to do this?"


    Quinn spoke clearly, showing no signs that she had once been mute.


    After looking at her for a moment, he refused, "I can''t do that."


    "Why not?"


    "No reason."


    Hearing this, Quinn got a bit angry. She red at Alexander, threw off the covers, and went towards the bathroom.


    She put on her shoesand huffed her way into the bathroom.


    Less than a minute after she went in, a scream came from inside.


    Alexander''s face changed slightly. He got up and rushed in. He pushed the door open and saw her standing in front of the mirror, covering her face in terror. "What happened?"


    Quinn extended a finger and pointed at the mirror. "Who, who is that person?"


    Alexander tilted his head slightly and looked at the mirror. There were only the two of them in it.


    "Isn''t that you?"


    She slowly opened a gap between her fingers and peeked at the mirror through her fingers, only to quickly turn her head away again.


    "No! That''s not me!"


    Alexander slowly walked over to her, held her wrists, and gently removed her hands from her face.


    "Look again."


    Quinn took a quick nce at the mirror, then threw herself into Alexander''s arms, cautiously looking at the mirror again.


    With a sobbing voice, she said, "No, it''s not me. I don''t look like that."


    Alexander held her by the shoulders, making her face the mirror. He stared at the panicked face reflected there and said, "This is you, the grown-up you."

    She stared nkly at the mirror and slowly raised her hand to touch her cheek, and the person in the mirror did the same.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    Then she pinched her own cheek.


    "The grown-up me?" she murmured.


    "Yes."


    She mustered up her courage to take a couple of steps forward and got closer to the mirror, staring at her reflection. "So, this is what I look like when I grow up?"


    Once Quinn realized that the reflection was her own, her fear gradually subsided, reced by curiosity and novelty.


    If someone woke up to find themselves grown up, they would probably react simrly.


    Alexander wrapped his arms around Quinn from behind and whispered in her ear, "Do you like it?"


    She nodded and said happily, "Now that I''m grown up, I can marry Lucas."
