Alexander''s gaze turned cold slightly, but his expression remained unchanged. He looked at the person in the mirror and asked, "Who is Lucas?" Quinn broke free from him and turned around to look at him. "Lucas is Lucas. Who else could it be?"
"What''s his full name?"
"You don''t know?"
Alexander smiled slightly. "No. Can you tell me?"
His smile carried a dangerous undertone, but unfortunately, Quinn didn''t detect it.
She said, "You''ll know when we get back."
After speaking, she continued to admire herself in the mirror, curiously sizing herself up over and over, even forgetting to go to the bathroom. Alexander''s gaze fell on the mirror, watching her joyful expression, his eyes growing increasingly icy.
After Quinn finished looking, she nced down at her hands and thenpared her height with Alexander''s.
Why was she only up to his shoulder?
Quinn was dissatisfied with her height.
Alexander grabbed her hand, stopping her from touching him all over, "Weren''t you going to use the bathroom?"
Only then did Quinn remember why she hade to the bathroom. She eximed and hurriedly pushed Alexander out, "You go out!"
Alexander walked out of the bathroom and nced at the closed door, the hint of a smile on his lipspletely disappearing.
He took out his phone and called Kyle.
He asked him to investigate Lucas.
Kyle was a bit confused. Who was this Lucas? Where was he supposed to start?
But since Mr. Kennedy had instructed him, he had no choice but toply.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
After Quinn finished using the bathroom and washed her hands, she came out and saw that Alexander was still there.
He was standing by the window, looking down. It was dark outside, with only a few streetlights. Under the dim yellow light, a light rain was drifting.

She trotted over and grabbed Alexander''s arm.
Quinn asked him, "I''ve already grown up, so has Lucas grown up too?" When Alexander heard Lucas''s name, a vein throbbed on his forehead. He withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Quinn, and said, "Of course."
Quinn was curious about what Lucas would look like grown up. She had changed so much, so Lucas must have changed too. She wondered if she would still recognize him. She was somewhat lost in her thoughts. For five-year-old Quinn, she didn''t really understand what growing up meant.
The concept of growing up to her was just getting taller and bigger.
Like what they showed on TV, you went to sleep and woke up all grown up.
Quinn clung to his arm, pouting, "Take me home quickly. I don''t want to stay here anymore."
"Go back for what? To see your Lucas?"

Quinn shed a bright smile, her eyes twinkling, "How did you know?"
Alexander pried her fingers off and looked down at her. "Of course, because I also want to meet this Lucas."
"But your body isn''t fully recovered. After you''re discharged, I''ll take you back."
Quinn''s face fell, and she was a bit unhappy. "Alright then."
She remembered that she had vomited blood in the afternoon, so she didn''t continue to pout. Otherwise, it would upset her mom and dad.
Every time she got sick before, her mom would get so anxious that she''d cry, so this time, she definitely didn''t want her mom to know.
Alexander didn''t stay with her for long. After half an hour, he left the hospital.
Once again, Quinn was left alone in the ward.
Quinn asked Olivia for a mirror, but Olivia didn''t have one and had to go out to buy one.
After Olivia left, Quinn picked up her phone and used the screen as a mirror. As she looked, she slowly became familiar with her reflection, but it still felt somewhat unfamiliar.
She tilted her head, looking left and right, making all sorts of strange faces. It was as if she had just gotten a new body, curious yet unustomed.
