Abigail''s blunt talk kinda left Quinn a bit at a loss.


    But she got what Abigail was saying about not wanting any beef between them. After thinking it over for a sec, she was like, "Nah. Seeing you with Landon was tough, but now that you''ve exined, it''s cool." Abigail blinked, "For real? You better not be lying to me."


    Quinn nodded, "Yeah, for real."


    "Alright, I trust you, Quinn. Just don''t hate me," Abigail said, pulling her into a tight hug.


    Quinn was a bit thrown off, feeling the squeeze. She hesitated before patting Abigail''s shoulder.


    If the hit on Alexander was Landon''s doing, and she saw Abigail cozying up to Landon, she probably wouldn''t be this chill with Abigail.


    Abigail should count her blessings that Landon didn''t pull any stunts this time.


    After a bit, Abigail let go. "I hit up Oliver. He should be here in a couple of days. Let''s bounce together, cool?" she asked.


    Quinn hesitated.


    Abigail noticed and asked, "You still wanna find Alexander, huh?"


    Quinn did, but she had no clue where to start. She''d lost all leads on him.


    Abigail sighed, "You know how stubborn he was. If he could, he''d be back by now. If he hasn''t shown up, things must be bad. You got no power here. Staying won''t help and might even mess things up more for him." Quinn''s mind shed back to Las Veges. He couldn''t handle the altitude, but he never bailed, no matter what she said.


    He wouldn''t just vanish without a reason.


    Quinn refused to believe he was dead. It had to be like Abigail said he was in a bad spot and couldn''t show up yet. Abigail gave her shoulder a firm pat. "Let''s head back. He''ll find you once he knows you''re home."


    Quinn''s fingers clenched in her sleeve, and after a long pause, she slowly let go.


    "Okay," she said.


    Abigail was right; she needed to be smart and not make things worse for him.


    Abigail secretly breathed a sigh of relief.


    When they got back to the ward, Walter was still there, staring out the window at the dark sky, lost in thought. Hearing them, he turned around, not surprised to see them patched up.


    Abigail, remembering his earlier threats, immediately pulled Quinn over. "Quinn, this guy''s a real piece of work." Quinn nced at Walter. He had a faint smile, looking all gentle and harmless.


    But Quinn knew better.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Abigail ranted, "He found me before. One minute he''s saving me, the next he''s threatening to kill me. How am I supposed to trust him? And then he tries to get Landon to off me in front of you. Seriously, who does that?" If he hadn''t said that, Abigail might''ve gone with him. But after that, no way she was risking it.


    She was scared he''d kill her halfway and pin it on Landon, and she''d be dead for nothing.


    Given the situation, sticking with Landon was actually a bit safer.
