Quinn finally woke up the next afternoon.


    The anesthesia had worn off, and she was jolted awake by the pain. She opened her eyes, still feeling a bit out of it.


    Her mind was stuck on those brutal moments, and now shey there, too scared to even twitch.


    Abigail''s voice came from beside her. "Quinn, you''re finally up!"


    Quinn turned her head with effort and saw Abigail with red, puffy eyes, like she''d been crying.


    When Abigail saw Quinn''s pale face, the tears started flowing again.


    This was the first time Quinn had seen Abigail cry. Quinn, who had just gone through childbirth, hadn''t shed a tear, but Abigail did.


    Quinn forced a smile. "Why are you crying?"


    "I feel so bad for you. The doc said you started bleeding heavily while your cervix was still dting, so they had to do a C-section. It makes me so mad!" Abigail choked out.


    She was pissed because giving birth had been so dangerous and painful for Quinn, and she had done it for Alexander, that jerk. She hadn''t seen the first two pregnancies that were terminated, but she had seen this one, which was probably just as bad.


    Quinn''s eyes flickered; she guessed why Abigail was angry.


    She finally remembered the important thing. "Where''s the baby?"


    "In the incubator. The doc said they need to observe for two days. Don''t worry. Everything''s fine. You just need to rest," Abigail replied.


    Quinn observed Abigail''s expression and guessed it was a boy. Abigail didn''t seem happy at all when she mentioned it.


    But she still asked, "Is it a boy?"


    Abigail wiped her tears and said angrily, "Yes! Just like that jerk, making you suffer so much. If it were a girl, she would have been born without any trouble."


    The baby probably didn''t know that on his first day, he was already disliked.


    "That''s just prejudice... He''s so little, what does he know?" Quinn protested.


    "I don''t care. He''s a little jerk! His dad made you suffer, and now he''s making you suffer. Don''t spoil him in the future," Abigail said angrily.


    Seeing her indignant look, Quinn couldn''t help but smile.


    Abigail tucked the nket around her. "Alright, don''t worry about it now. Just rest."


    Quinn grabbed her hand anxiously. "Abigail, please watch over the baby for me."


    "I told you, everything''s fine. What''s there to watch?" Abigail asked, feeling strange.


    Quinn shook her head. "Watch him for me. Don''t let anyone near him, especially Walter."


    Abigail was slightly taken aback, as if she had thought of something. "Alright, I''ll watch him. As for you, I''ll find a nurse to take care of you." With that, she left Quinn and ran out.


    Soren was pacing outside, and Abigail told him to go in and watch over Quinn.


    The baby was in a separate sterile room, all alone. Abigail arrived at the door and saw Walter standing outside, which made her hair stand on end. Walter stood outside, looking through the ss at the naked baby in the incubator. He didn''t even notice Abigail''s arrival.


    "Why are you here instead of seeing your own son?" Abigail broke the silence in the hallway.


    Walter slightly turned his head, a smile on his lips. "Are you afraid I''ll harm him?"


    Abigail looked at him suspiciously. "Then why are you here?"Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Walter looked away and didn''t answer her question. He said calmly, "Don''t worry. If I wanted to harm him, he would have died at birth."


    Abigail was stunned. His honesty made her feel like she was overthinking it. She didn''t know whether to believe him or not.
