"Mr. Kennedy," Olivia stuttered.


    Olivia''s sudden movement startled the two on the couch.


    Quinn was so focused on Lucas that she didn''t even notice Alexander. She clung to Walter, refusing to let go.


    Walter looked towards the door, his usual smile returning.


    "Mr. Kennedy, why are you back sote?" Walter spoke up first.


    Alexander stared at him for a moment, then his gaze shifted to Quinn in Walter''s arms before he stepped inside.


    "Mr. Smith, disappointed to see me?" Alexander sneered.


    Walter smiled. "Not at all. I''m actually d you''re back."


    Alexander stood in front of Quinn, staring at her intently. She didn''t notice, still holding onto Walter like he might vanish.


    "What now?" Walter sighed, his smile infuriating.


    Ignoring him, Alexander grabbed Quinn''s shoulder and pulled her away from Walter.


    Quinn red at Alexander. "What are you doing?"


    "Did you take your medicine?" Alexander asked.


    Quinn froze for a moment, then pouted in pain, looking pitifully at Walter as if he would help her unconditionally.


    Walter ignored her and stood up. "It''ste, I should go."


    Quinn, hearing this, stood up too, wanting to leave with him.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    But Alexander grabbed her wrist, pulling her back after a few steps.


    Walter chuckled, turned around, and left without looking back.


    Quinn watched him go, tears streaming down her face. "Lucas, I want to go home too! Don''t leave me."


    No matter how much she called, Walter didn''t look back and soon disappeared.


    Alexander held her tightly, his eyes full of anger.


    Seeing she couldn''t break free, Quinn started hitting Alexander. "Let go of me! I want to go home! I hate you!"


    But as soon as she said that, he threw her onto the sofa with such force that she felt dizzy.


    She struggled to get up, but a pair of hands pressed her back down.


    Quinn looked up at Alexander''s grim face. Whether from sadness or fear, she started crying heart-wrenchingly. Seeing this, Olivia quietly retreated.


    "Shut up!" Alexander shouted.


    Quinn cried even harder.


    Veins bulged on Alexander''s forehead. He pinched her cheeks, making her face scrunch up.


    Quinn''s face hurt, and she could barely make a sound. She could only re at him with teary eyes.


    She was furious, clenching her fists and hitting his shoulder, mumbling for him to let go.


    Alexander stared at her, then slowly released his grip.


    Her cheeks were red on both sides.


    Quinn tried to push him, but he grabbed her wrists again, so she could only re at him.


    Alexander instructed Olivia to bring the medicine.


    Olivia carefully brought the medicine over and handed it to him.


    "Drink the medicine," Alexander ordered.


    Quinn, still sulking, shook her head and refused to drink, wanting to get off the sofa to find Walter.</p<>
