"Thank you for your hard work." He tossed the towel aside, his tone not sounding like apliment.
But Quinn couldn''t tell and thought he was genuinely praising her.
She grinned and shook her head, saying, "It wasn''t hard for me. I wiped your face and then you woke up. Am I amazing or what?"
Alexander fell silent after hearing this. After a long pause, he finally said, "Yes, you are amazing."
Although he was woken up in a rather unpleasant way. In a sense, she was indeed amazing for sessfully waking him up.
Quinn''s smile grew even brighter. She sat down next to him, grabbing his arm with both hands. "You need to get better soon. You still haven''t taken me home."
Alexander turned his head to the other side and closed his eyes, ignoring her.
Quinn circled around to his left and said, "Why are you so quiet? Don''t tell me you don''t want to take me home anymore?"
Alexander turned his head again.
Unrelenting, Quinn circled back.
A vein throbbed on Alexander''s forehead.
Seeing that he seemed angry, Quinn looked at him, puzzled. "What''s wrong with you?"
"Could you just like be a bit quieter?"
Quinn blinked. Instead of quieting down, she pressed on, "So, are you gonna take me home?"
Alexander sighed and closed his eyes wearily.
His silence made Quinn anxious. "Why aren''t you saying anything!"
Olivia came out and saw the situation. She immediately stepped forward and pulled Quinn aside. "Mrs. Mellon, Mr. Kennedy needs to rest. Let''s wait until he''s feeling better to talk."
Quinn nced at the person on the bed, saying, "But he hasn''t promised to take me home yet."
"Even if he promises now, he can''t leave. Just drop it, okay?"
Quinn thought about it and realized it made sense. She reluctantly sat back down next to Alexander.

In a very soft, almost whispering voice, she said to Alexander, "Alexander, I won''t talk anymore. You need to get better soon."
Alexander opened his eyes and stared straight at her.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
The worry on her face didn''t seem fake, but it was unclear whether she was worried about him or about not being able to go home.
After a while, Alexander propped himself up and sat against the headboard, looking at her.
Quinn asked, "Aren''t you going to rest?"
"I''m done resting."
"So soon? Does that mean you''re all better now?"
Alexander pressed his lips together and said nothing.
Quinn awkwardly covered her mouth, indicating she wouldn''t speak anymore.
nning your weekend reading? . The next chapter is just a click away, exclusively avable on our site. Happy reading! Alexander picked up his phone and called Kyle, asking if he had found Orion.
Kyle said, "We''re still looking. Sean brought a dog and it picked up Orion''s scent. We should find him soon."
"I see."
Somewhere in the mountains, a figure was sprinting with a group of people chasing behind.
It was getting dark, and visibility in the forest was low.
As Orion ran, he cursed Alexander in his mind, ''I''ve already agreed to the divorce, yet this jerk still sent people to hunt me down!''
Earlier, while he was halfway down the mountain, a few people suddenly emerged from the forest. Realizing they were after him, he ran without a second thought.
The group chasing him was well-trained, and he couldn''t outrun them, so he had to jump over a fence and run into the forest.
Using the dim light andplex terrain, he temporarily got rid of them, but he himself also got lost and couldn''t find a way out.
He wandered in the forest for a whole day and night. With no phone signal, he could only walk aimlessly through the woods. Unfortunately, he ran into that group again, forcing him to resume his escape.
