When Walter arrived, he found her making faces.


    He paused for a moment before entering.


    Quinn cast him a brief nce, then continued ying with her face. She muttered to herself, "Will Lucas recognize me?"


    When Walter heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he asked, "What did you say?"


    "Lucas, don''t you know him, either?" Quinn looked at him strangely.


    Walter locked his eyes on Quinn without speaking for a long time.


    Both of them fell silent, and Quinn didn''t want to talk to him anymore. She lowered her head and continued looking at herself.


    Walter slowly sat down next to her, watching Quinn with an unreadable expression.


    After a while, Walter finally spoke, "Do you really want to see him?"


    Quinn nodded. "I want to see him. I''m grown up now; I can marry him."


    As Quinn thought of this, her face broke into a silly grin.


    "Do you know what it means to marry him?"


    Putting down her phone, she thought seriously for a moment, and then said, "Yes. It''s like being a family with Mom and Dad, being together forever." Walter''s gaze flickered, and he said nothing more.


    Quinn cupped her face in her hands, grinning at Walter. "Do you think Lucas will like the grown-up me?"


    "I don''t know. Why don''t you ask him yourself?"


    Quinn deted, "But why doesn''t hee to see me?"


    "Well, Mom and Dad don''te to see me either."N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    She kept asking questions that were hard to answer, so Walter could only remain silent.


    His silence made Quinn unhappy.


    After a while, Olivia returned with a mirror. Quinn held the mirror, delighted, as she could now see herself more clearly.

    Seeing it was gettingte, Olivia told her to go to bed, but she hid under the covers ying with the mirror.


    Walter also left.


    Quinn yed until she was tired and fell asleep holding the mirror.


    In the middle of the night, she started coughing, waking herself up in her sleep.


    She curled up into a ball, clutching her stomach. Once she was fully awake, she covered her mouth with both hands.


    Outside the covers, Olivia patted her shoulder. "Ma''am, are you okay?"


    Quinn had all the covers pressed under her, so Olivia couldn''t pull them off and didn''t know what was going on inside, only that her cough was severe. Quinn coughed for a full minute before she could slightly catch her breath.


    She opened her palm to see spots of blood again.


    She hid under the covers, too scared toe out. She clenched her fists, trembling with fear.

    While Olivia was out, she immediately wiped her hands with a tissue and threw it in the trash to destroy the evidence.


    She suddenly wondered, ''Could it be this illness that was keeping my mother and others from visiting me?''


    Otherwise, why wouldn''t theye to see her? Why wouldn''t they let her leave the hospital?


    As she was lost in thought, the doctor came in.


    Olivia exined, "She suddenly started coughing badly just now. Is there something wrong?"


    The doctor examined Quinn and then turned to Olivia, "It''s a lung issue. She had inhaled too much smoke before, which damaged her lung function. There''s some infection, and she needs to recuperate slowly. It can''t be rushed." "Is the coughing normal then?"


    "Coughing means she''s expelling toxins. Blood flow to the heart increases at night, making it easy to cough."


    Olivia sighed in relief, then asked, "So it''s normal and we don''t need to worry, right?"
