The snow had been on and off for three days, and it wasn''t until the afternoon of the third day that the sun finally decided to show up.


    Amanda called a doc to check out Alexander''s busted leg. The doc said it would take at least two months to heal. Lucky for him, Amanda''s family was super chill and invited him to crash at their ce for the whole two months. Even though the house was old, they weren''t hurting for cash and had a ton of cattle and sheep.


    After three days of chowing down onmb, Alexander was pretty much over it. So that night, they switched things up and had beef instead.


    After dinner, Quinn locked herself in her room and called Amanda.


    "How''s he doing?" Quinn asked.


    Amanda smiled and said, "He''s good. Don''t stress. We''re thinking of taking him to the hospital tomorrow."


    Quinn went quiet for a sec before saying, "If it''s not too bad, don''t take him."


    Walter was still hunting for Alexander. If he went to the hospital, Walter would find out in no time, making things way riskier for him.


    "Got it," Amanda replied quickly.


    "Thanks," Quinn said.


    "No problem. I''ll take good care of him," Amanda assured her.


    After a few more words, Quinn hung up, opened Amanda''s Facebook, and sent her $4,000.


    She put down her phone and looked out at the night sky. The moon was peeking through the clouds, hinting that tomorrow would be a clear day.


    She couldn''t help but wonder, ''If he couldn''t see hope, would he leave?''


    Quinny on her bed, staring at the ceiling, unable to sleep all night.


    The next morning, after getting ready, she went downstairs for breakfast. Walter saw her outfit and casually asked, "Heading to work?"


    Quinn replied, "Staying home is too boring."


    "The snow hasn''t melted yet, it''s not safe. Don''t go," Walter said.

    He had a gentle smile, but his tone was firm. Quinn''s hand paused for a moment.


    "Okay," she agreed.


    Walter calmly said, "If you''re bored, I can walk around with you nearby."


    "No need. I''ll just read a book," Quinn declined.


    She had bought a bunch of books, prepping to apply for college. With no phone orputer, she relied on reading to pass the time. The smile in Walter''s eyes faded a bit.


    He watched Quinn, something flickering in his eyes.


    Since she woke up, her attitude towards him had changed. She had been cold and distant, even though they lived together.


    Walter quietly put down his utensils, his smile unchanged, but his emotions had shifted.


    When Quinn went back to her room to read, Colin came to the dining room and bowed slightly to Walter.


    "Still haven''t found Alexander?" Walter asked coldly.


    "No, still searching. Could he have gone back?" Colin said.


    Walter said indifferently, "His assistant is still here, so he hasn''t left. Besides, he came here for Quinn. So he won''t leave easily."


    "Understood. I''ll keep searching," Colin replied.


    Walter yed with the utensils in his hand, speaking nonchntly, "All his stuff is still at the hotel. He might already be dead somewhere." "Then I''ll find his body as soon as possible," Colin replied.


    Walter threw the utensils on the table and said, "This time, you''d better not screw up."This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    "Got it," Colin replied.


    With that, he quietly retreated. However, he didn''t see Quinn standing upstairs, staring straight at him.
